When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

“Find out? Find out about what?” Elyse’s eyes were clear, and her gaze was calm and confident.

“Everything is real, so how will he find out?”

And then, she glanced lightly at the tomb. The smile on her lips grew deeper.

In the car, the pain in Leo’s body finally dissipated slowly.

Although his forehead was beaded with sweat and looked weak, he still stubbornly stayed strong.

“What can I get for you, Mr. Alston?” Laura asked with concern.

Leo shook his head, took out his phone, and dialed a number. “Help me investigate something,” he said

to the person on the other end of the phone.

She remained silent as she watched Leo on the phone. Normally, it’s me who does the errands. Mr.

Alston definitely attached great importance to this matter, judging by how he directly bypassed me and

sought help from a professional.

As she thought of that, her eyes flickered a few times before she practically blurted, “Mr. Alston, what will

you do with Elyse if this matter truly turns out to be true?”

After she posed that question, only then did she realize she had crossed the line. Therefore, she

hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, “I’m sorry.”

Nevertheless, Leo seemed to not hear anything she said and kept looking in a particular direction.

He pursed his lips tightly as he gazed far in the distance. At this moment, no one knew what was on his

mind.

A young man was already standing inside Leo’s office by the time Leo arrived.

Laura recognized this young man. He’s the detective hired by Mr. Alston recently.

unreliable.

Laura didn’t dare to disturb the two of them, so she left immediately after she served them coffee.

Leo pulled his necktie and nodded to Victor, motioning him to take a seat.

“How’s the investigation?” he asked.

With that, Victor spread out some documents in front of him. “Everything the Claytons said is

true.”

“What about these then?” he asked again as he handed over the box in his hand.

Victor opened the box. Then, he checked everything meticulously. He even took out a magnifying glass.

Finally, he closed the box and nodded. “These are real as well. The years basically match the timeline.”

Leo fell into dead silence after he heard what Victor said. I won’t doubt Victor’s competency, let alone his

sentiment. After all, I wouldn’t have hired him immediately if I had no absolute certainty about his

competency. In that case, all these can’t possibly be fake now that even Victor himself confirms they are

genuine.

During Leo’s silence and his trip down memory lane, Victor had collected Ellen’s notes and everything

else. Then, he compared them one by one with the information he obtained. Everything was a match,

even the handwriting.

“At the very least, this shows that Ellen indeed wrote the diary and farewell letter and that the Claytons

didn’t falsify her identity,” Victor concluded.

Leo looked down for a long time before he hummed in a low voice.

As Victor couldn’t guess what Leo would do, he could do nothing but wait quietly.

“Thank you,” Leo said.

Victor knew that it was time for him to take his leave upon hearing those words. Thus, he gave Leo a

polite nod, turned around, and left.”

Once Victor left, Leo allowed his body to sink into the couch. He moved his fingers and once again fell

into thought as he looked at the piece of paper that fell out of the diary earlier. This piece of paper is a

copy of the application form for corneal donation involving a living donor, which I’d discovered at the

hospital in the first place. So, does this mean that not only is Ellen the Big Eyes from back then, but she’s

also… The cornea donor? If so, then everything about the case of corneal donation involving a living

donor would make sense!

ill at that time? What kind of thought did she have in mind when she accompanied me every day without

saying a word about her illness?

After a while, he dialed Victor’s number. “Try to find Ellen, regardless of the price.” According to Michael,

only Ellen’s clothes were buried in the tomb, and they didn’t actually see her corpse either. Is there a

chance that she might still be alive?

The next day, Elyse sat in Leo’s car with Michael beside her.

A very special smile rose from the corner of Elyse’s mouth as she gazed at Leo’s back silhouette. with a

pair of crystal-clear eyes.

Michael, on the other hand, rubbed his hands with an excited look on his face.

That was because Leo had bought them a huge villa last night and allowed them to move in today.

Since Michael had never lived in a villa in his life, he felt excited just thinking about it. From now on, I,

too, will be living the life of an upperclassman.

In his mind, Michael began to imagine the dejected expressions those who once looked down on him

would have when they learned about it. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Soon, they arrived at the place.

The villa was even more beautiful and huge than what they saw in the rendering. Michael’s eyes were

about to pop out of their sockets as he stared at the glorious-looking villa. Finally, he couldn’t help

himself as he practically ran into the building.

Elyse was a lot more restrained than Michael. She stood in front of Leo and said, “Leo, there’s absolutely

no need for you to do this.”

“Big Eyes wished for me to take good care of you guys. Hence, I will fulfill her wish,” Leo responded

flatly.

Elyse’s eyes flickered several times before she asked, “Ellen hoped that I could live on her behalf. Leo,

what will you do?”

Leo suddenly turned his head and looked at her coldly.

His sharp gaze made Elyse realize that she was being too hasty. Therefore, she hurriedly hid her

ambition and went on to say, “Sorry. I just came across some bad news, so I wasn’t myself for a

moment.”

After that, she quietly held out her phone. “It’s about Amelie.”

Elyse’s phone.
