Chapter 121

Amelie walked over to her security intercom. The sight of the man displayed on the screen shocked
her.

Leo? Why is he here? What is he doing here so late at night?

On the screen, he was standing straight and looking into the camera with his dark eyes.

Even with a camera and screen between them, she could still feel the sharp look in his eyes against
her skin.

The more confused she was about his intentions, the less she wanted to open her door.

However, if she did not answer the door, her sleeping father would be wakened up.

Steven had strong objections about Leo, and she did not want any fights to break out.

After hesitating for a while, she swiftly pulled the door open and stepped out, closing the door behind
her.

“Do you need something, Mr. Alston? It is quite late.” Her wariness was visible on her pretty face.

To him, her wariness was exceptionally striking.

However, his mind was preoccupied with something else, so he did not have the heart to think about
that.

His focus was primarily focused on her eyes. “Why were you at the eye specialist center that time?”

Amelie was startled by his question.



She thought he was here because of Bria or something else. In the end, that was all he wanted to
know.

“I was at the eye specialist center naturally because I wanted to have my eyes checked.” A moment
later, she calmly asked, “What? Can I not go to that center?”

“What happened to your eyes?” he shot back. His eyes were still trained on her.

Before their divorce, Amelie would fantasize that he wanted to thank her because she donated corneal
tissue to fix his blinded left eye.

Now, she had witnessed too many cold and callous moments from him, too much proof of how little he
cared for her. Thus, she would not fantasize about his love anymore.

She tilted her head. “That’s my business. I don’t need to report to you about that, do I? Did you come
all the way here just to ask about my eyes? Come on, what else is there?”

“If Jodie tattled to you, then you have better know exactly what she did in the first place.” That was the
only

With that said, she did not want to continue talking to him any longer, so she turned to head back to her
home.

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist.

Then, she was pulled backward.

Before she knew what was happening, she was pinned against the door.

“What are you doing, Leo?” she roared, turning to glare at him.

Acting as if he did not hear her, he reached out for her face.



Thinking he was going to beat her up, she instinctively turned to look away.

He soon grabbed her face and turned her around.

With his long fingers holding her head still, he leaned his face closer until there were barely a few
inches. between them.

She could feel his warm breath brushing against her cheeks.

In the four years they had been married, he had never once stood so close to her. Her mind went
blank, making her forget to react to his actions.

His gaze scanned her right eye.

There was nothing special about it. Her eye was actively darting around. Evidently, it was normal.

With that confirmed, he turned his focus to her left eye.

Her left eye…

He had just started scanning her eye when his phone started ringing.

The ringtone pierced through the quiet night sky, snapping her back to her senses. She immediately
pushed him away.

Shoved away, he took a few more steps back. When he saw it was a call from Elyse, he frowned.

He planned on ignoring the call, but he recalled Elyse’s mental state and decided to answer.

“Where are you, Leo?” Elyse sounded very worried. “I have something important to tell you.”

“We can talk tomorrow,” Leo replied impatiently.



responded, “I’m on my way back.”

After hanging up, he turned and disappeared down the corridor without sparing Amelie even a word of
farewell.

She stared at his back as she held a hand up to her face.

His sudden appearance and disappearance confused her.

What was he going to do just now?

Still, she did not think too hard about it.

After all, he was called away by a mere phone call from Elyse. How important could his desire be?

Early in the morning, the cold breeze blew through the hills.

A black Maybach pulled to a stop at the bottom of the hill, and a silent man dressed in black stepped
out of it.

Following behind him was a slender young woman and a rather informally dressed man.

“Right up there,” Elyse said, pointing up at the grassy hill.

Leo quietly looked up. His expressionless face was full of gravity and seriousness.

There was a sad air hanging around him.

“Are you sure?” he asked after a long second of silence.

She nodded. “Ashton’s information is definitely true.”



She then turned to look at Ashton who was standing beside them with his head held low. “Isn’t that
right,

Ashton?”

“Of course,” he answered, nodding. “The Lowe Family’s information network would never make a
mistake.”

It was only then that Leo strode up the hill. A few minutes later, they were standing in front of a
headstone with overgrown grass.

The tiny plaque on the tombstone read ‘Here lies Elaine Perez’.

Leo’s gaze was icy as he stood there.

about her feelings. Still, whenever you left for school or returned to the house, she would sneak out to
watch you. Sometimes, she would pretend to bump into you by coincidence.”

“Later on, she fell ill. That was why her mother resigned. They returned to their hometown as her
mother focused on taking care of her. She fell ill just as you were involved in the car crash. Even
though she was terminally ill, she kept an ear out for news of you. She knew of your accident. She
even had her mother ask around about your condition.”

“When you were sent away to Quinn Town, she begged her mother to bring her over to visit you. When
she

found out about your blind eye, she decided to donate her corneal tissue before she finally died.”

“According to her mother, she chose to donate while she was still alive because she was afraid her
cancer



might affect the quality of the donation.” Elyse paused. “Who knew she was such a… loving girl?”

She let out a soft sigh.

Leo pursed his lips and silently recalled any memories he had of Elaine.

At was true that there used to be a servant who lived there with her child, and that child’s name was
Elaine

Perez.

He had also encountered her multiple times before. She used to shoot timid glances of admiration at
him.

Everything seemed plausible.

“She was going to die anyway, so donating her corneal tissue was considered making the most out of
her situation. At most, you can just give her family some monetary compensation. Everything is in the
past. It is best to focus on those who are still living.” Ashton languidly said as he shot the grave a
scornful look.

Elyse smacked him. “Don’t say that! Let’s wait down by the car and give Leo a few minutes.”

As soon as she said that, Ashton’s mouth clicked shut. The two then walked back to the car.

Elyse only put away her saintly facade when they were near the car. “Thank you,” she said to Ashton.
“You did me a huge favor.”

He shook his head. “It’s nothing much.”

To Ashton, it was a blessing that she sought him out for help.



He would do anything to make her happy, even if it meant jumping into a fire.

“So, why did you ask me to look for the donor? Did something happen?” he asked, bemused.

His question made her perfect face stiffen before twisting into an ugly look.
