When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 152

Amelie sat wearily on a chair in the office with her eyes closed.

Even so, her mind wasn’t blank as her rapid-fire thoughts screamed beneath her lids. Instead, her mind was busy thinking about all the things that had happened recently.

Suddenly, her phone rang, causing her to jerk out of her thoughts.

She snapped her eyes open and saw it was an unknown number.

Amelie frowned slightly and simply took it as a scam call. So, she didn’t answer it right away.

However, the caller rang Amelie up again. It was obvious that the caller had set their mind to looking for her.

She was left with no choice, so she tapped on the answer button and took the call.

“Hello, may I speak to Miss Dillon?” A polite voice belonging to a middle-aged man sounded on the other end.

“This is she. May I know whom I have the pleasure of speaking with?” Amelie couldn’t help asking as she listened to the highly unfamiliar voice.

“I’m Mr. Zachary-Zachary Satterlund,” replied the person on the other end of the phone.

The name Zachary Satterlund left Amelie in a trance for a long while. So many incidents that took place in the past flashed through her mind like it was projecting a movie.

“Mr. Zachary,” she quickly addressed in a respectful tone. Her body also straightened as she greeted, “Hello.”

disagreed. What was more, he was the one who incessantly dissuaded me among those who opposed me from proceeding with the surgery. Still, although he opposed me back then, he was also the one who never forsaken me. He even brought me back when I suffered from an infection at a later stage.

in a comatose state for three days. Although I had woken up, my body was still in frail health. So, there’s a high chance that my life would still be in danger regardless of my conscious state. Since the hospital was afraid of taking responsibility for my adverse reaction, they rushed me out of the hospital. It was Mr. Zachary who took me to a clinic and looked after me day and night for three months. Even though Mr. Zachary looked after me partly due to medical research purposes, I probably wouldn’t make it past three months if it weren’t for him. I only gradually recovered and barely got out of bed after three months. Leo’s image crossed my mind as soon as I could get out of bed. And since Leo once told me the location and name of his company, I ran all the way there, wishing so badly that I could see him immediately after he regained his eyesight. To this day, I can still clearly recall how fast my heart was beating when I stood downstairs at the building of Genesis. Even though my body was shaky, quivering, and extremely weak due to health reasons, I was overjoyed when I thought of how I finally survived through life and death moments and was able to see him again. Yet, look at what happened afterward. I saw him coming out of the building while holding hands with a girl. He held the girl’s hand and passed me by. At that time, I could even hear the gentle and sweet words he said to the girl. Yet, never once did he look at me. Even though everything was predestined, I still naively chose to stay in the city where he was, attending the same high school as him and seeing how he treated Elyse lovingly every minute and every second.Leo was undoubtedly an exceptional student and a prominent figure in the school. On the other hand, I tried my best to hide my ability. I purposely performed poorly on every exam. I often wore unfashionable outfits, making myself look unattractive on purpose. Despite knowing he couldn’t possibly recognize me as he never saw how I looked, I still didn’t dare to meet him head-on. Later, I successfully got into university,Still, following closely on Leo’s updates seemed to have become my habit. At that time, as long as I was free, I would be unable to control myself and run straight to the city where he was last seen. Therefore, to get him out of my mind. I studied hard, did live streaming at a full split, and risked my life to start a company, establishing Starlight Media afterward.I thought I had completely forgotten about him. Yet, the wall that I had built up to get him out of my mind abruptly collapsed after we slept together for no reason, and I encountered him getting cheated on by Elyse. A final and fatal mistake was made just because I hadn’t had the heart to reject him.Now that I think about it, I was ridiculously stupid at that time. I can’t believe I would risk
