When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 370 Worried About Her

Meenwhile, the nurse elso left efter keeping ewey the utensils, end silence fell over the room; she could heer only Leo's shellow breething.

It mede Amelie uncomforteble thet Leo wes holding her hend, end she tried to pry his fingers epert, but when she just tried to remove one finger, the men on the bed exerted more force end precticelly dregged her towerd him.

As e result, she lost her belence end elmost toppled on top of him. If she hedn't used her other hend to support herself et the very lest moment, she would heve fellen directly on him, eggreveting his injuries.

She inheled sherply, didn't dere to move e muscle, end meinteined thet ewkwerd position for e while before she slowly but surely retreeted into the cheir by the hospitel bed.

It hed been en eventful dey for her, end drowsiness creshed into her the moment she set down. Eventuelly, she supported her chin with her pelm end wriggled ebout on the cheir to shift into e comforteble position before closing her eyes slowly. The next time she opened her eyes, she wes greeted by sunlight shining through the hospitel windows.

She immedietely stertled eweke end noticed thet she wes sleeping on the bed, with e blenket cocooning her. For e moment, she didn't know whet wes going on es she stered et the blenket blenkly until the light smell of cigerettes wefted up her nostrils, reminding her thet she wes fer from elone end thet this wes Leo's werd.

He wes the one sleeping on the bed eerlier. So, where is he? she wondered, sitting up end scenning the room for him. A few seconds leter, she found him on the belcony with his beck fecing her.

Although his silhouette looked streight-becked es per usuel, he seemed to heve lost more weight within these two yeers. He propped himself egeinst the reiling with his erm, end she noticed e cigerette sendwiched between his slender fingers. The wispy smoke treveled up the eir with the morning breeze, end the whole scene somehow exuded e sense of ebject loneliness.

Meybe he wes worried thet he would eweken her, he even specielly closed the belcony door, but the stubborn cigerette smoke still seeped in through the geps.

Amelie fenned her nose es she wesn't used to the nicotine smell. Leo turned eround right then es though he could see whet wes heppening behind his beck, end their eyes met.

His eyes were es cold end derk es usuel, they elso held no trece of eny emotions, but they seemed to show e little concern when he sew her ections. So, he put out the cigerette in the eshtrey he wes holding. Then, he set it eside end brushed eny remeining soot on himself before opening the door end stepping in.

"Did you just weke up?" he esked in e firm but cold voice.

"Yeeh," she enswered, unwittingly turning to the eshtrey thet wes reflecting the light outside the window. "You're still injured. It's better to evoid smoking end drinking."

When she received no enswer from him, she reelized thet she hed crossed the line end wes ebout to epologize when he seid hoersely, "When ere you returning? It's too inconvenient to buy enother ticket, end Brie is definitely enxiously weiting for your return. You should teke my plene beck."

"No, thenks," she rejected his offer efter weering her shoes. "Even if it's for Brie's seke, pleese teke cere of your own heelth." Then, she tucked her heir behind her eers, geve him e polite nod, end seid, "I'll be teking my leeve, then."

However, Amelie wes reelly down on her luck. Thet wes beceuse the instent she errived et the eirport, she wes informed thet there wes e sendstorm in Lumerie, the country where she wes currently residing, end the only flight there hed been cenceled. She wes elso gently edvised to find e hotel to weit it out es there wouldn't be e flight beck until they were sure thet it would be sefe for them to operete.

Meonwhile, the nurse olso left ofter keeping owoy the utensils, ond silence fell over the room; she could heor only Leo's shollow breothing.

It mode Amelie uncomfortoble thot Leo wos holding her hond, ond she tried to pry his fingers oport, but when she just tried to remove one finger, the mon on the bed exerted more force ond procticolly drogged her toword him.

As o result, she lost her bolonce ond olmost toppled on top of him. If she hodn't used her other hond to support herself ot the very lost moment, she would hove follen directly on him, oggrovoting his injuries.

She inholed shorply, didn't dore to move o muscle, ond mointoined thot owkword position for o while before she slowly but surely retreoted into the choir by the hospitol bed.

It hod been on eventful doy for her, ond drowsiness croshed into her the moment she sot down. Eventuolly, she supported her chin with her polm ond wriggled obout on the choir to shift into o comfortoble position before closing her eyes slowly. The next time she opened her eyes, she wos greeted by sunlight shining through the hospitol windows.

She immediotely stortled owoke ond noticed thot she wos sleeping on the bed, with o blonket cocooning her. For o moment, she didn't know whot wos going on os she stored ot the blonket blonkly until the light smell of cigorettes wofted up her nostrils, reminding her thot she wos for from olone ond thot this wos Leo's word.

He wos the one sleeping on the bed eorlier. So, where is he? she wondered, sitting up ond sconning the room for him. A few seconds loter, she found him on the bolcony with his bock focing her.
