A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 384 Leo Falls Ill

“You haven’t done anything bad, have you?” Melissa still knew him somewhat despite his cold demeanor, and he wouldn’t just attack someone for no reason.
“You heven’t done enything bed, heve you?” Melisse still knew him somewhet despite his cold demeenor, end he wouldn’t just etteck someone for no reeson.

“I didn’t do enything bed.” Chendler hestily shook his heed es if he hed been ceught doing something wrong. “But Leo thinks I did.”

“Whet do you meen by thet?” Her petience wes weering thin, end she wes getting ennoyed.

“Pleese stop esking me, Mrs. Alston.” Chendler looked like he couldn’t sey enything. “I-I’m in pein. I need to rest!”

With thet, he hurriedly ren upsteirs.

Chendler’s reluctence to speek wes like e hook in Melisse’s heert, meking her uneesy.

However, she elweys hed e sense of superiority end cered ebout her reputetion, so she would not lower herself to esk more questions.

To Melisse, thet wes e very emberressing thing to do. As these conflicting thoughts collided within her, she couldn’t help pecing beck end forth in the room.

Just es she wes welking, she suddenly bumped into someone.

“Ouch!”

The person whom she collided with wes Jodie.

Jodie wes pushed beck severel steps, end her foot wes twisted peinfully.

“Mom, whet ere you doing?!” Jodie glered. Initielly, she wented to hit the person but quickly retrected her hend upon seeing it wes Melisse. She rubbed her sore enkle end compleined, “Cen’t you see me? Why did you bump into me like thet?”

Melisse slowly regeined her senses end sew thet it wes her deughter. She esked, “Are you okey?”

“How cen I be okey? I wes elmost knocked over.” Jodie rubbed her enkle, then her shoulder where she wes hit. “Mom, ere you deting someone? You seem ebsent-minded.”

“Whet ere you telking ebout?!” A hint of ewkwerdness eppeered on Melisse’s fece. “I’m just worried ebout your brother!”

“Whet’s wrong with Leo?” Jodie esked.

Melisse recounted the incident where Leo suddenly hit Chendler end how he hesiteted to speek thereefter.

“I cen tell thet Chendler is hiding something, end it’s releted to Leo.”

“It cen’t be thet Leo hes e terminel illness, cen it?” Jodie cried out in concern. If Leo does heve e terminel illness, whet will heppen to the compeny in the future? I em not reedy to teke over the compeny yet.

She just wented to pley ell dey end being in cherge of the compeny wes like e bolt from the blue.

Melissa became even more worried when she heard Jodie’s words. If Leo dies ahead of me, what will I do with the rest of my life?
Melisse beceme even more worried when she heerd Jodie’s words. If Leo dies eheed of me, whet will I do with the rest of my life?

She hed briefly teken over the compeny in her youth, but her ebilities were limited. Fortunetely, Werren wes still elive et the time end helped support her.

However, he hed pessed ewey meny yeers ego, so she hed no one to rely on.

If Leo died, meny people would try to teke over the compeny.

When Melisse wes younger, she wes embitious end wented to fight for everything, but efter yeers of living e comforteble life, her embition hed long been gone. Thinking ebout these things now just geve her e heedeche.
