My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 109 Punish Me, Leo

Leo sped to the hospital.

He strode into the ward to find Elyse lying in bed as Laura took care of her. Ashton was in the room as well.

“What happened?” Leo appeared calm.

“Elyse said she could not fall asleep due to a tightness in her chest. I was worried, so I drove her here. The doctor said it is just stress, but she should stay a few days for observation,” answered Laura.

“Didn’t I tell you to spend more time by Elyse’s side because she’s not feeling well?” Ashton questioned. “Where did you vanish off to, Leo?”

Anything concerning Elyse was a major priority for him.

“Don’t blame Leo for this. It’s me. I… Ashton, please leave,” Elyse said feebly.

When Ashton turned to look at her, he saw the dissatisfaction lurking in her eyes. Hence, he nodded and left as he did not dare stay any longer.

Laura soon came up with an excuse to leave as well.

Finally, the only people in the room were only Elyse and Leo.

He walked over to sit by the bed. “If the doctors here are not good enough, I can send you overseas to a better hospital.”

“There’s no need.” Elyse shook her head and leaned over to grab his hand. “This is just stress. There are so many things on my mind that I feel rather depressed.”

As she said that, she ducked her head down to hide her red eyes.

“I know you are angry with me,” she continued. “You think I’m too vicious. I think so too, and there’s just no way I can forgive myself for it. Ignore my illness, Leo. Don’t be afraid of aggravating me. Punish me however you like.”

She then looked up at him. Her eyes were bloodshot as tiny drops of tears shimmered in them. She looked just like a pitiful rabbit.

In the past, if she pulled such a look, Leo would definitely dote on her and reassure her.

However, just then, his heart was cold, as if it had been frozen. He felt no compassion for her.

Julia’s words from before kept echoing in his mind.
