“Who else could it be? Mrs. Alston didn’t get much rest last night, and she has been complaining about her headache ever since she woke up this morning. She eventually got the doctor to come over as she couldn’t handle the pain any longer.” Leila let out a sigh. “Mrs. Alston has been really worried recently.”

Amelie understood what was going on even though Leila wasn’t explicit with her words.

“Okay,” Amelie uttered before she hurried into the house. As expected, she found Melissa lying on the couch with a weak look on her face.

The doctors were still uncertain about Leo’s condition—they first had to find out the reason that Leo was in a coma. Amelie, therefore, still felt rather hopeful about Leo’s condition, and she thought that he might wake up. “Now’s not the best time to bring Bria back.
