When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

“Yes, I am Liz,” the young woman spoke up sweetly, but her voice sounded robotic.

Amelie was at a loss for words.

Steven could not recognize Liz until now because she covered almost her entire face with her hair all day long. Also, she did not like appearing before others when she lived with the Dillons, so they would not meet each other for a few days at once. It had been so long since then that he had long forgotten about her.

After observing her for a while, he sighed and withdrew his gaze. “It’s no wonder she’s out on the streets.”

He never had any positive feelings about Liz’s dad, his apprentice.

“It’s obvious now. Gary saw that she had gone mad and discarded her.”

Gary McBride was Steven’s apprentice. One day, he came to Steven’s door and told him how pitiful he was. After hearing Gary’s story, Steven could not bear to see him suffer and agreed to let him be his apprentice.

He pretended to be an honest person, addressing Steven as his master and saying he would take care of Steven after he got old. However, he secretly stole Steven’s glue-making formula and decided to sell it at a high price.

The glue-making process was the most important in making shoes, for it was what paid the bills. Therefore, selling the formula was equivalent to ruining Steven’s career.

At that time, Steven relied on his skills in shoemaking to feed his family. Naturally, he would not let such a thing happen. After Gary’s intentions were exposed, he sent the traitor away. Yet, he even stole a huge amount of money when he left!

It was until they went to file a police report that they discovered the name, Gary McBride, was fake.

If Liz had not appeared, Steven would have forgotten about that incident since it happened so long ago.

When Amelie thought of these, she could not help but sigh softly. Then, the two brought Liz inside and let her sit on the old cloth couch.

Amelie asked her, “Where’s your dad?”

Liz’s eyes looked dazed, and it took her a while before coughing out a laugh and replied, “My sister is the most important. Daddy isn’t a good person. I followed Daddy, and Mommy married a rich man. My sister followed Mommy and the rich man.”

After asking Liz many questions, she kept repeating these illogical sentences, so the Dillons could not get much information from her and stopped asking.

Since Gary was a fake name and Liz was not in a sound mind, the Dillons had no idea where to send her. Therefore, Amelie stuck to her original plan and sent her to a shelter.
