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

Mrs. Alston probably just doesn’t trust me enough. She wanted to use the Walshes to keep an eye on me and to control me. Amelie didn’t bother pointing this out as she felt like there was no need to expose Melissa. “Well, you should try to keep things a
