Chapter 170

Amelie returned to the hospital with Bria.

Julia and Steven had heard the news and soon hurried over.

“My Bria, my dear granddaughter.” Steven wrapped his arms around Bria as he cried like a little boy.

Amelie’s heart clenched as she looked at her father.

He had never once thought of wanting anything for himself. He gave all his love to Amelie and

Bria.

They were more important than life to him.

Steven’s tears made Bria reach out to wrap her arms around his neck. “Don’t cry, Grandpa. There, there.”

As she comforted him, she wiped away his tears.

They made quite the heartwarming sight.

Julia turned to look at them as well. When she saw Bria and Steven hugging, she could not help but let out an aww.

“How did you find Bria?” It was hard not to be curious.

The entire incident started with so much terror, but the ending was so strange that anyone would be surprised.

Amelie tiredly rubbed her eyes. She did not want to speak of Leo in front of Bria and Steven, so she pressed a hand on Julia’s hand as a gesture to say they would speak about it later

In spite of her raging curiosity, Julia suppressed it and nodded.

Amelie stayed by Bria and Steven’s side.

They then called a doctor to thoroughly check Bria over.

They only stopped worrying after the doctor said Bria was completely fine and cured of her mild poisoning.

It was inevitable that Steven would ask about Bria’s disappearance, but Amelie merely told him that a human trafficker had snuck into the hospital and stolen her away.

She was not afraid of the Alstons, but afraid of his old age. She was afraid something bad might happen.

The group eventually left the hospital.

Amelie waited until both Bria and Steven were asleep before heading downstairs.

Julia and Samuel were waiting for her.
