Elyse kept throwing tantrums in the ward, and the floor was in a mess.

Michael kept his head lowered while he tidied up the mess. As he did so, he said to his daughter,

“You’re still a celebrity, so what are you going to do if people see you throwing things around? If they

start spreading rumors, your reputation will be ruined.”

Elyse remained silent as she gripped her blanket tightly.

In fact, she gripped the blanket so hard that she tore a hole in it.

Michael shook his head in exasperation. “Speaking of which, it was a close call this time. Elyse, did you

hit your head or something? How could you do something like that? Getting someone to push Bria

under the pillar means that you’re making Leo your enemy. It’s already a miracle that he hasn’t killed

you!”

“Dad, can’t you just be quiet?!” Unable to bear it, Elyse shrieked annoyedly, “I don’t want to hear it! I

don’t want to hear any of it!”

With that, she covered her ears.

When Michael saw her reacting like that, he gave a few sighs.

“I know you don’t want to hear it, but I’m still your dad. I want you to know that after what you did, Leo

was merciful enough to only break your leg. Don’t ever do that again.”

As he spoke, he scooted closer to Elyse and said, “Didn’t you hear? Kirkford Village has been carrying

out exorcisms lately, and they’re claiming that serious accidents keep happening. The luckier ones

were only injured, but the less fortunate ones ended up crippled. I asked around and found out that

those people had all been to the site where the supermarket collapsed. Don’t you know what that

means?”

When Elyse heard what Michael said, the fury on her face finally faded and was replaced by shock.

“Are you sure?”

As she asked the question, her voice was trembling.

Kirkford Village was miles away from the collapsed supermarket. She only went to those people

because they happened to be hanging out there.

Only few villagers from Kirkford had been to the supermarket, and it could only be those people!

“Of course, I am.” Michael threw his head back. “That’s why I said that your life was spared. Don’t ever

do that again.”

Elyse hadn’t told Michael anything, but Michael was a wise man, so he had already figured out what

was going on behind the string of incidents and guessed what his daughter had done.

“I can accept the fact that he’s mad at me for Bria’s sake, but I fear his true reason is Amelie! He knew

that I only wanted to target Amelie!” Elyse was still mad as she sobbed.

Michael slapped her on the arm. “Were you out of your mind, Elyse? Why did you involve Bria if you

just wanted to target Amelie? You knew that—to be honest, if it weren’t for what your sister did for him,

you won’t be so lucky right now! Listen, stop thinking if he got mad for Bria’s or Amelie’s sake. Just stay

out of trouble.”

Even though Elyse was still upset, after learning such a grave lesson, she relented and nodded

unhappily.

“In the end, it’s all thanks to your sister. Once you’re discharged, remember to visit her grave.

Hopefully, she’ll watch over you so that you’ll live a smooth-sailing and luxurious life,” Michael said, a

greedy look appearing on his face.

Soon, several medical staff came in to examine her condition. The two stopped their conversation, and

the curtains were drawn.

Outside the window, a pretty face could be seen.

Amelie stood there with her face slightly tensed, the sharpness in her eyes gradually decreasing.

She had come to look for Leo so that she could confirm a few things with him, but she hadn’t expected

to get the answer from Elyse.

Leo saved Elyse, but he also punished her severely.

It was a surprise that he would punish Elyse, his fiancée, for Bria’s sake. This was probably the most

he could do.

Even before their wedding, Amelie had been keeping an eye on Leo and Elyse, so she knew what

Elyse meant to him.

Elyse was someone he treasured and pampered, so now that he cruelly allowed her to lose her legs…

He was probably suffering as well.

He had done so much, and Amelie felt that it would be unreasonable to keep digging further.

However, what did they mean by what Elyse’s sister did for him?

At that thought, Amelie felt uneasy all over again.

She didn’t know who Elyse’s sister was, nor what she had done for Leo. She only felt wronged.

He remembered what others did for him, so why did he solely forget about her existence?

Amelie had already decided not to hold it against him, but now that she was faced with this, she

realized that she couldn’t quite stick to her decision anymore.

She shook her head and forced herself to get rid of those messy thoughts.

Just then, the door of the ward opened, and Michael walked out.

Amelie hastily hid behind a pillar.

Michael was glancing around, and he didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave.

When Michael was in the ward just now, Amelie didn’t manage to have a good look at him. Now that he

had come nearer, Amelie saw his face and found him familiar. It felt as though she had seen him

somewhere before.

Amelie thought long and hard, but she couldn’t remember anything.

She decided not to pursue the matter. When Michael left, she followed suit.

In the days that followed, things were peaceful once again.

However, Leo would come over to visit Bria once every few days.

Bria also seemed to have taken a special liking to him.

Even though Amelie didn’t want to be in contact with him too often, she knew that she had no right to

stop him from visiting and spending time with Bria, so she let them be.

However, every time he visited, she would escape and busy herself with work.

Her studio was upstairs while Bria was downstairs, so the two adults did not bump into each other.

“Daddy, can you go upstairs and get my doll? It’s my favorite doll. Please?” When Leo came over to

spend time with Bria again, the little girl nudged him and begged.

Leo had developed a strong bond with Bria, and the two were closer than ever.

Naturally, he readily agreed to his darling daughter’s request.

As Bria watched Leo walk upstairs, she blinked. There was a sly look in her huge, shiny eyes.

After Leo made it upstairs, the first thing he saw was a light blue living room.

There was a small couch inside, and the floor was carpeted. The decorations and layout gave off a

warm feeling.

Then, he noticed the open door next to the living room.

On the other side of the door, a slender figure was dancing.

Even from a distance, he could still sense her passion.

Almost uncontrollably, he walked over to her.

Amelie was streaming. She donned her snow-white fox mask, revealing only a pair of pretty eyes and

pink lips that resembled cherry blossoms.

Even though she was relatively covered up, one could still sense her beauty from her eyes and the

color of her lips.

She interacted with the viewers in a lively voice she had never shown him before. She would

sometimes smile innocently and attractively, sing a beautiful song, or start telling a story.

Even though he had watched her streams in private, it didn’t feel as real as when he watched her in

person at a close distance.

The hardships in his life had turned him into a stern and quiet person.

People like him were rarely affected by the outside world, and it was difficult for them to sympathize

with others.

However, at that moment, Amelie’s joy was slowly infecting him.

Without him knowing, his frozen cells were being warmed and activated.

When she finished telling a joke, the corners of his lips curved upward into a smile.

All of a sudden, Amelie turned around.
