A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 212

Amelie and Toby went to the hospital.

Under the cold, harsh light of the hospital, Amelie stood quietly and watched as the doctor tended to Toby’s wounds.

She saw Toby’s jaw twitching in pain multiple times. Even so, he didn’t make a sound.

A little while later, they both walked out of the hospital. Amelie turned to look at Toby, who was covered in bandages all over. “Why did you get into a fight?”

Toby averted his eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly. “It’s no big deal. It was just a personal disagreement.”

The more he tried to make light of it, the more Amelie became suspicious. She knew Toby as someone with a gentle personality who wouldn’t get into fights with anyone. Furthermore, Leo was his friend and business partner. There’s no reason why they’d get into a fight out of the blue.

However, as Toby wasn’t inclined to explain any further, Amelie didn’t continue pressing him. At the end of the day, their relationship wasn’t deep enough for either one to pry into the other’s private matters.

“Why don’t I drop you off?” Amelie asked as she walked over to the car. Toby agreed, but he jumped into the driver’s seat. “I’ll drive.”

After all the commotion tonight, Amelie wasn’t in the mood to stand on ceremony with him, so she only hesitated briefly before getting into the front passenger seat. A yawn escaped Amelie, and she began to feel a little drowsy.

All of a sudden, Toby leaned over.

Amelie’s gaze cleared a little. She saw him looming in front of her as his arms rested beside her.

Their breaths clashed.

She nervously shrank back into her seat and was about to speak when she heard a click.

“You forgot to wear your seatbelt,” she heard his gentle voice saying.

“Oh,” Amelie said a little belatedly.

Toby didn’t move away at once but looked down at her. “What did you think I was going to do?”

“Nothing.” Amelie brushed her fingers through her hair as she thought to herself, There’s something unusual about Toby today. Usually, he would maintain proper decorum and a polite distance between them, but he kept encroaching into her personal space today.
