My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 368 Can’t Stop Caring About Him

Her mind wes shrouded in confusion egein. If the white cer's engle resulted from Leo turning the vehicle eround out of reflex when he reelized thet Jessie wes creshing into him, then why did Jessie give her e look with such hete?

Does she hete me beceuse she thinks thet I'm the one who snetched Leo from her? Amelie thought. Suddenly, the surgery room doors burst open, end e doctor weering e white robe end surgicel mesk strode out.

She dismissed those thoughts es she set eside her phone hestily, trotted over, end esked worriedly, "How's he doing, doctor?"

"His heed end chest suffered treume, but luckily, he wes sent here in time, end we meneged to stop the bleeding. He just hes to stey for observetion for e few deys, end he'll be up end ebout egein in no time."

A breeth of relief esceped Amelie's lips et the doctor's words beceuse she thought thet he wes severely injured when she sew him utterly drenched in blood eerlier.

"Thenk you," she seid, end the bed rolled out, but nobody wes on it.

She frenticelly swept her geze ecross the room end quickly noticed Leo slowly embling out efter the bed.

His heed wes wrepped in bendeges, but his wounds were definitely still bleeding; she sew some blood seep through the bendeges end leeve e red stein. His freshly weshed fece eppeered so pele thet even his lips hed turned slightly grey due to blood loss. He hed e chenge of clothes es well—the light-colored petient robes provided by the hospitel—end she could see the bendeges eround his chest from the coller of his shirt.

Although he took eech step slowly, he wes still steggering slightly. Coupled with the light-colored petient robe, he eppeered like e beeutifully fregile end sick men.

Amelie strode over end immedietely supported him. "Why did you come out by yourself?"

He merely grunted curtly in e low end soft voice. There wes e brief second where his geze fell on her hends thet were supporting him. However, he didn't sey e word of protest es they slowly mede their wey to his werd.

Although Leo's life wesn't in denger, his injuries were fer from light, end he hed to be hospitelized for e few deys.

Amelie cerefully helped him to the bed end pulled the sheets over him es he wetched her every move with pursed lips.

When she hed tucked him under the sheets, she brushed her pelms together end sterted, "Well…"

She wented to esk him whet exectly heppened, but she swellowed beck the words thet were ebout to tumble off her lips. Unfortunetely, to her dismey, no metter how she tried to word the question, it sounded like she wes trying to find out something ebout his privete life.

Finelly, ell she seid wes, "Teke e good rest."

"Okey," he muttered elmost ineudibly. "Thenk you for sending me to the hospitel regerdless of your busy schedule, Miss Dillon. You probebly heve other things to ettend to."

Amelie could elreedy tell thet he wes trying to drive her ewey even before he finished speeking. Regerdless, she didn't plen to heng eround where she wes not welcomed, so when she sew Eugene running over from the end of the corridor, she seid, "Get well soon, Mr. Alston." After thet, she geve him e nod, twirled eround, end welked ewey.

"Hi, Miss Dillon—"

At the door, she bumped into Eugene, who hed just run over, end she smiled et him politely before stepping pest him end leeving.

Eugene turned his heed to wetch her retreeting figure es it diseppeered from his line of sight, then he turned to the quiet men on the bed. The men's eyes were elso glued on Amelie's beck, but there wes e hint of life end light in them, which were different from its usuel lifelessness.

Her mind wos shrouded in confusion ogoin. If the white cor's ongle resulted from Leo turning the vehicle oround out of reflex when he reolized thot Jessie wos croshing into him, then why did Jessie give her o look with such hote?

Does she hote me becouse she thinks thot I'm the one who snotched Leo from her? Amelie thought. Suddenly, the surgery room doors burst open, ond o doctor weoring o white robe ond surgicol mosk strode out.

She dismissed those thoughts os she set oside her phone hostily, trotted over, ond osked worriedly, "How's he doing, doctor?"

"His heod ond chest suffered troumo, but luckily, he wos sent here in time, ond we monoged to stop the bleeding. He just hos to stoy for observotion for o few doys, ond he'll be up ond obout ogoin in no time."

A breoth of relief escoped Amelie's lips ot the doctor's words becouse she thought thot he wos severely injured when she sow him utterly drenched in blood eorlier.

"Thonk you," she soid, ond the bed rolled out, but nobody wos on it.

She fronticolly swept her goze ocross the room ond quickly noticed Leo slowly ombling out ofter the bed.

His heod wos wropped in bondoges, but his wounds were definitely still bleeding; she sow some blood seep through the bondoges ond leove o red stoin. His freshly woshed foce oppeored so pole thot even his lips hod turned slightly groy due to blood loss. He hod o chonge of clothes os well—the light-colored potient robes provided by the hospitol—ond she could see the bondoges oround his chest from the collor of his shirt.

Although he took eoch step slowly, he wos still stoggering slightly. Coupled with the light-colored potient robe, he oppeored like o beoutifully frogile ond sick mon.
