Chapter 153

Leo’s expression turned solemn as he silently clenched his fist. At the same time, he thought, Could it
be that the donor Zachary is about to meet is really Amelie? He narrowed his eyes and locked his eyes
on the car.

In the meantime, the car stopped across the road, and someone opened the door. It was indeed
Amelie. Her long hair shone in the morning light, and she moved with light and graceful steps.

Leo watched her walking toward him as if she was in slow motion. His chest tightened even more as
she moved closer and closer to him. Somehow, he could even feel that his breath was getting heavier.

Toby could sense something was wrong with Leo, and he expressed his worries because he had never
seen Leo acting in such a way before. “Leony…”

However, Leo could not hear Toby calling him as he quickened his pace and walked downstairs in fast
and hasty steps. Toby followed him even though he did not know what got into Leo’s head, and it was
not until he saw Amelie walking toward the sidewalk from the opposite side that he realized what was
actually going on.

“Why is Miss Dillon here?”

Leo did not answer. Instead, he stopped five meters away from Zachary, His eyes were still locked on
Amelic, and at that point, he was almost sure that she had come for Zachary!

Toby looked at her and took a deep breath. “So, she lied to me last time.” Leo finally reacted to his
words and glanced at him. However, he did not say anything further before turning and staring at
Amelie again.



Just when she was about to reach where Zachary was standing, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Someone probably called her because she could be seen lowering her head, taking out her phone, and
answering it. Seconds later, she turned and ran back to the car. In the blink of an eye, the car had
already driven away.

Zachary had his back facing Amelie, so naturally, he did not see her coming and leaving. He continued
to wait for her even after she left. Toby looked at the car, and only then did he realize that he felt
somewhat constricted; he could not breathe normally until she had left the place. At some point, his
face was beaded with sweat. Then, he turned to look at Leo and found that he was still standing there
like a statue, fixing his sight in the direction where Amelie had departed.

Amelie only remembered that she had yet to call Zachary when she returned to the company. She got
out of the car and quickly dialed his number as she walked toward the office. “I’m sorry I can’t make it
today, Dr. Zachary. Something came up. I’m truly sorry.”

“What happened? Do you need my help?” Zachary was not the slightest bit angry. Instead, he was
concerned that something big had happened to Amelie. Otherwise, she would not have missed the
appointment. He knew her temperament well even though they had only met briefly.

“It’s indeed a bit tricky, but I can solve it myself. Thank you for your concern,” she rejected him politely.
“Is it okay that we postpone the appointment to, perhaps, tomorrow or later in the afternoon?” After all,
she had agreed to meet him. She felt terrible that she had to postpone it last minute.

However, Zachary comforted her, “Don’t worry about it. Take care of your own affairs first and contact
me whenever you have time.” After Amelie received his reassurance, she finally thanked him for his
understanding. She reached her office the moment she hung up the phone.

She glanced up and saw Julia standing in front of the door with a solemn expression. It was clear for
everyone to see that she was fuming in anger as her eyes were practically on fire. Julia immediately



dragged Amelie into the office upon seeing her and slammed the door behind them.

Julia was finally able to let out her anger when they were alone. “The Alstons are a’sholes! How could
they do something like that?! Stealing someone else’s daughter! They didn’t treat Bria well back then,
but now they are acting all pretentious as if they cared about her. It’s disgusting!”

Amelie remained stoic as she took the paper that Julia was holding on tightly in her hand. It was a
subpœna; the Alstons had formally sued her. As she read through the summons, she pursed her lips
and started holding it so tight that her knuckles became stark white.

Julia sensed the tension around Amelie as she turned around and saw her expression. She
immediately stopped venting her rage and slowly moved toward Amelie as she cautiously voiced,
“Elie.”

Julia knew that Amelie seldom got angry. She was the type who would endure every bump in life in
silence. She was already like that back when she was still living with the Alstons. Then, she became
even colder after divorcing Leo. So, Julia felt highly distressed and worried when she saw Amelie
suffering in silence.

“I’m fine.” It took a few seconds before Amelie could respond calmly, as she slowly loosened her
clenched fist and placed the subpoena on the table.

“How should we deal with it?” Julia looked at Amelie and asked softly. Amelie did not respond. Perhaps
she was thinking about the same thing. Julia looked at her friend, who was frowning slightly and felt so
wronged on behalf of her at that moment that her eyes turned red-rimmed.

“That Leo is a f’cking devil who repays kindness with ill intentions! You placed him on a pedestal back
then. Yet, not only does he not know how to repay your kindness, but he is also plotting how to snatch
your child from you. He clearly knows what Bria means to you!” The more Julia exclaimed, the angrier
she became.



Alas, she could no longer hold her anger and slammed her palm on the table. “I’ll find him now and tell
him. what happened!” She was just about to leave when Amelie hastily stopped her. “No!”

“Elie!” Julia stomped her feet. “Are you still being soft-hearted for that b’stard? Your daughter will be
snatched away under your very nose if you continue this way!”

“I’m not soft-hearted,” Amelie responded lightly with a chilly tone. “Just that he no longer deserves to
know anything!”

Julia stared at her friend for a second and noticed that Amelie’s attitude was stern and tinged with a
hint of the frigid cold of winter.

It was at that moment that Julia finally understood Amelie’s feelings. There was no longer any
possibility of reconciliation between her and Leo, as she genuinely hated him from the bottom of her
heart. Obviously, this was what Julia had been praying for all along, but when it finally came true, she
didn’t feel happy. She only felt that Amelie’s life was riddled with tragedies she didn’t deserve.

She wiped away her tears and stepped forward to hold Amelie’s arm tightly. “You’re right. The Alstons
don’t deserve you. But, Elie, don’t worry. Samuel and I will always be by your side no matter what.”

Amelie patted Julia’s arm lightly upon hearing that. “Thank you. Go ahead and continue your work. I
need

ון

“Okay.” Julia knew that Amelie needed some alone time even though she was apprehensive about
Amelie’s mental health. So, before she left, she reminded Amelie again. “Don’t ever hesitate to tell me

you need my



help. Okay?”

“Thank you.” Amelie squeezed out a smile and nodded to Julia. It was not until Julia had left that she
gasped for air and slid back in the chair, closing her eyes in pain. Nevertheless, she did not wallow in
her misery for too long. Moments later, she straightened in her seat and began preparing for the reply.

Meanwhile, Zachary was just about to leave Jittan Hospital with his assistant after getting off the call
with Amelie when someone addressed him, “Dr. Zachary.”

Zachary turned and saw a tall young man walking toward him. It was hard to ignore the sense of
nobility in him, even though he looked young.

“You are…” Zachary looked at the man with a bit of wariness.

“I am Leo Alston.” Leo did not bother hiding his identity.

“Mr. Alston, what can I do for you?” Zachary nodded politely at Leo. Zachary was not so ignorant that
he did not know who Leo was. Even though Zachary was a doctor, Leo was famous, and one would
have heard of his name being brought up somewhere.

Leo nodded in response, but his eyes were as piercing as an eagle when he asked, “I’m sorry to
trouble you, Dr. Zachary. But who are you supposed to meet today?”
