A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 392

Chapter 392 Please Help Him, Amelie

“Do you have to do this to her? All she did was provoke you. How inhumane of you to break both her legs!” Melissa clenched her fists, causing her manicure to break. However, she didn’t notice and continued, “You deliberately took her here and hurt her. Are you showing off? Do you think we are easy to mess with, Amelie?”

Hearing her accusations, Amelie felt speechless and resigned.

“I understand you are upset, Mrs. Alston. However, I must clarify that I have nothing to do with this.” As she spoke, she pursed her lips and suppressed her anger, trying to soften her voice. “As you say, the Alston Family isn’t one to be messed with. Thus, I’m not that stupid to do anything.” Then, she smiled politely and walked away.

Initially, Melissa was going to go and give her another scolding. However, on second thought, she felt that Amelie was right. This is an illegal matter. There is no way Amelie can get away from the law even if she is filthy rich. Moreover, even if she wants to go against Jodie, she won’t do it in her place. If that’s the case… Who would have done this?

Melissa knew Leo would investigate this matter, so she didn’t think much about it. After all, she still had to worry about Jodie.

What will Jodie become in the future? Now that her legs are broken, no man will want to marry her. Jodie’s life is ruined. Moreover, I have endured so much and finally can get my happy ending. However, now that this has happened… What will others think about me?

…

On the other hand, Amelie hailed another cab. When she got into the car, she closed her eyes and rested.

The police had called her and said that the river wasn’t the first scene where Jodie had been hurt. There was a possibility that someone had moved her there. However, they still hadn’t confirmed how they moved Jodie over.

As she recalled the police’s words, she rubbed her temples. Questions filled her mind.

Lumaria wasn’t a big country, so Jodie had no reason to travel there. Moreover, Leo said she showed up at Lumaria after escaping from the bodyguards. As Amelie thought about it, she had a gut feeling that the mastermind behind it was hoping she would be in contact with the Alston Family again by making this mess. However, she couldn’t figure out who would do such a thing.

Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. “Hello?” she answered.

“Hey, Amelie. It’s me, Chandler.” On the other end of the phone, Chandler’s soft voice rang. “I heard that something happened to Jojo at Lumaria. Is she okay? I’m sorry for bothering you at this hour. I was going to visit her, but I was afraid that Leo would be unhappy about it.”

Since Amelie was unfamiliar with him, she didn’t say much and told him to look for Melissa.

Chandler hummed in response. “Still, thank you, Amelie. If you hadn’t found Jodie in time, she would be dead by now.”

Amelie managed the strength to talk to him for a moment before hanging up. As soon as she ended the call, she turned stiff as something flashed across her mind.

Chandler! He has always wanted me to get in touch with the Alston Family. He wants me to get back with Leo! He…

When Amelie returned home, Steven and Bria were waiting for her.

“Mama.” Bria rushed toward her and threw herself into Amelie’s arms.

Yesterday, when Amelie found Jodie, she called Steven and told him to leave with Bria since she was afraid that Bria would be frightened by the scene. However, she didn’t hide the fact that Jodie was injured. She had been at the hospital for the entire night and told the duo everything when they asked her.

“Is Aunt Jodie alright?” Bria was glum, and her voice was sad.

Although Jodie had mistreated Bria in the past, Bria was kind and didn’t wish to see anybody getting hurt.

“She will be awake soon.” Amelie ruffled her hair.

“That’s wonderful.” Bria smiled.

Then, Steven gave Bria some food and cooed her to the dining table.

Seeing that she was eating in silence, Steven led Amelie to the living room. “You told me that Miss Jodie’s legs were broken. Can she still walk in the future?”

“The doctor said they couldn’t do anything about it.” Amelie shook her head.

When Steven heard her words, he felt distressed. “It’s such a pity. She is still a young woman.” He sighed deeply.

Amelie didn’t say anything.

“Did the police find anything at the scene?” Steven asked again. Although he didn’t like the Alstons, he didn’t wish that Jodie would be amputated.

Amelie told him what the police had said.

“Dad, if a man called Chandler is here to look for you or Bria, stay away from him.” Although she wasn’t sure if Chandler was behind this, she still had her suspicions about him.

After being abandoned by the Alston Family, any normal person would loathe the Alston Family and become their nemesis. However, not only did Chandler not want anything from them in return, he even treated them with the uttermost courtesy. It was clear that there was something fishy about the occurrence. Although Amelie didn’t want to think much about it, she still had her guard up.

Steven knew Amelie’s personality. Thus, he didn’t ask about it and nodded. “Okay.”

After Amelie had reminded Steven, she went to the company.

Gladys approached her and said, “You have a guest, Amelie.”

“Guest?” Amelie was startled. “Who is it?”

“I don’t know. He told me that his last name is Alston.”

Alston? Is it Leo? What is he doing here? Amelie thought.

Questions filled her mind when she entered the reception room. When she entered the room, she saw that it wasn’t Leo.

“Amelie.” The person stood up and smiled. However, Amelie felt uncomfortable about his presence.

“Chandler?” Amelie’s eyes turned cold when she looked at him. “I never knew your last name was Alston.” As she spoke, she was secretly eyeing him up and down. The more she looked at him, the more she felt she was right. There was something wrong with Chandler.

“Don’t be mad at me, Amelie. I didn’t lie when I said I was one of the Alstons. I used to be called Chandler Alston. However, after Leo had returned, Mrs. Alston felt that it was inappropriate for me to have such a last name. So, she changed my name back.” Chandler rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

“Do you need anything?” Amelie was not in the mood to chat with him. She sat in front of him and didn’t bother closing the door.

Chandler was still smiling. “Jojo is hurt, and I’m here to visit her.”

“She is in the hospital.” Amelie reminded.

Chandler nodded and replied, “By the way, Amelie. I want to talk to you about something.”

“Please address me as Miss Dillon, Mr. Chandler.” She felt uncomfortable hearing him address her with such intimacy when she was unfamiliar with him.

When Chandler heard her words, he hummed in response and said obediently, “Miss Dillon, I’m here today to tell you a secret about Leo.”

Hearing his words, Amelie tilted her head.

Putting his fist against his lips, Chandler cleared his throat before he continued. “Do you still remember that he had a habit? After meeting up with you, he would shower every time he returned. I’m sure you noticed it too, Miss Dillon.”

Amelie didn’t say anything and smiled. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Initially, I thought he did this because he hates you. However, I found out that he feels guilty when facing you. As time passed, he had a mental illness, thinking he would ruin you whenever he touched

you. He isn’t showering because he hates you. It is because he thinks he is dirty. He wants to cleanse himself.”

Amelie was surprised when she heard his words. However, she had also found the answer to the question that had been bugging her. Still, she didn’t trust that Chandler was just here to tell her about this. Thus, she went straight to the point. “What are you trying to say?”

At that moment, Chandler stood up abruptly and looked at her. “Only you can cure him, Miss Dillon. Please, help him.”

When Amelie heard his words, she looked at him in silence. She tried to find out his intentions, but he seemed genuinely caring for Leo. However, Amelie was not a child, and she wouldn’t fall for his tricks. At that moment, she squinted and tried to see what he was planning!
