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.

Melissa glared at Jodie. “Don’t you know the state that our family is in now? We would’ve been destroyed by the others if Amelie hadn’t been around to support the family. We might even be on the
