A Matter of Wife and Love
Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Making Up to Him

The man's hair was tied behind his back, and his bangs made him look elegant and gentle like a scholarly gentleman.

When Amelie saw it was him, she called out in surprise. "Mr. Walsh?"

Toby approached her with a gentle smile on his face.

"What brings you here?" she asked.

His hands in the pockets of his cropped pants gave off a relaxed vibe.

Lowering his head to tidy his bangs, he replied, "I want to ask for your opinion about something."

"My opinion?" Amelie raised an eyebrow, feeling confused.

Nodding, Toby answered, "I discovered that the person who caused your blood contamination was indeed Elyse."

Back then, Bria was born with blood issues. The hospital had a small number of rare blood types in stock, but they were knocked to the ground during the trip to the operating theater, causing all of them to be contaminated. That resulted in the hospital having no blood supply to save Bria's life.

"Elyse was smart and didn't leave any evidence that could put her in court. But, if Leo replaces out about this, he will never forgive her, so do you think I should tell him?"

Amelie's eyelashes trembled.

Even though she had previously found out the truth through Samuel, she still couldn't let this matter go after three years. She formed her hands into fists and gave an unexpected answer, "No." "You've suffered such a huge grievance, yet you want to keep it from Leo?"

Smiling, Amelie replied, "Bria is my daughter, not his. Whether we've suffered any grievances does not concern him.”

Her eyes were so calm when she spoke, and it was as though she was talking about a stranger.

Noticing her resolution, Toby inexplicably felt a sense of relief and happiness. "Since that's your answer, I'll respect your decision."

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and left Amelie standing in her spot.

She closed her eyes and tried to suppress the discomfort in her heart.

This would be the last act of kindness she performed on Leo. It was her compensation for the four years of their disastrous marriage.

She went over to her car and got in, but she hadn't driven far when two cars appeared and surrounded her at once.

Everything happened so quickly that Amelie had to stomp on the brakes to avoid a collision.

As she frowned, she had a bad feeling about this.

A few men immediately descended the car, and one opened her door before grabbing her arm. "You're coming with us!"

"Where are you taking me?" Right after she yelled, someone covered her mouth with his hand, and the four men worked together to pull her out of her car and into theirs. The cars then sped away.

Along the way, those men didn't speak a word but taped her mouth shut and confined her.

Confusion filled Amelie's eyes, and her unknown fate made her heart race wildly.

She desperately tried to distinguish where she was and where they were taking her.

The car passed several streets, and they didn't look to be heading to the suburbs.

Such a realization confused her even more.

The car drove for more than twenty minutes before arriving at an underground parking lot.

Afterward, Amelie was pulled out of the car and dragged into the elevator to head upstairs, where she was then pushed into a room.

Looking up, she saw the hospital's logo and figured she was in the VIP section.

Since this was the VIP area, there weren't many people on this level. Also, those men brought her in through the special passageway, so she didn't see anyone else around. "Mr. Lowe, here's the person you asked for," the man holding Amelie reported.

Amelie realized someone else was in the room.

It was a man with a gloomy, unruly face that made her feel uncomfortable.

Ashton? Amelie recognized him next.

When Ashton raised his hand and saw Amelie, his eyes darkened even more, and his hatred toward her was displayed on his face!

Without saying anything, he grabbed Amelie before pushing her inside the room.

Amelie stumbled from the push, and since she couldn't speak, she questioned Ashton with her furious eyes.

Ashton withdrew his arrogant and condescending gaze from her figure, and his expression implied that she was just a disgusting pest to him.

When he looked at the person before him, however, his gaze suddenly turned gentle.

"Ashton, what's... going on?" A clear and melodious voice came from inside the room.

Amelie finally made out that someone was sitting on the hospital bed.

That someone was none other than Elyse.

Despite wearing a hospital gown, she looked as attractive as usual and was looking in their direction in shock. Pursing his lips in displeasure, Asht tore off the tape on Amelie's lips and ordered, "Hurry up and apologize to Elyse!" His tone was overbearing.

When the tape was ruthlessly torn away, Amelie felt a burning sensation on her lips as she stared coldly at Elyse.

Elyse was shocked but then seemed to have realized something, and her eyes twinkled meaningfully.

She twitched her lips as though she was about to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth.

"Why should I apologize to her?" Amelie rebuked.

Ashton was feeling impatient and he roared, "Stop acting dumb! I don't care how you mistreated Elyse in the past, but we should settle the scores on what you did recently! Elyse is a kind woman, and she has never made a fuss when you stole her marriage. You, on the other hand, took her kindness for granted and not only bullied her while racing but also ruined her birthday party! Amelie Dillon, do you think that I can't do anything about you because you have the owner or Starlight Media backing you? You'd better apologize to Elyse today, or you'll regret it!"

His tone was cold and harsh, and his words were filled with murderous intent.

When Amelie heard his long-winded rant, she couldn't help but chuckle while staring at Elyse.

She was eager to see if Elyse would be shameless enough to accept her apology.

On the other hand, Elyse avoided Amelie's gaze and pretended not to notice it.

The next second, Elyse's beautiful face fell, and tears filled her eyes, giving the feeling that she would start crying at any moment.

She looked like she had suffered a huge grievance.

Meanwhile, Amelie found Elyse's act comical and stopped looking at Elyse. She turned to look at Ashton and taunted, "I'm eager to see how you're going to make me regret my decision." Her words were a provocation to Ashton's authority!

Ashton's despise toward Amelie burst through the roof. He glared wickedly after hearing what she said.

He then raised his leg and aimed to kick the back of Amelie's knees.

Bam! A loud sound echoed inside the room.

"Ahh-"

It was a groan from a man.

Seeing Ashton about to kick Amelie, Elyse expected to see Amelie forced to kneel from the kick.

With all the built-up resentment in her heart, Elyse had long wanted to punish Amelie and was eager to see Ashton do that on her behalf.

When she heard that groan, she looked up and saw that Amelie had escaped from Ashton's clutches and was now rubbing her sore wrists. Amelie's pretty face looked unfazed and deadly serious. Behind her, Ashton was bent over while covering his crotch in pain!

He got kicked in the crotch by Amelie!

Meanwhile, she was gently massaging her wrist, seemingly unaffected by Ashton's cries, nor did she check up on him. It was like he was invisible.

Back in the day, her dad had hired someone to teach her self-defense skills out of worry for her safety.

The four men just now took her by surprise, which was why they succeeded.

However, it wouldn't be that easy for Ashton to kick her!

On the opposite end of the room, Elyse's expression changed drastically while she stared wide-eyed at Amelie in disbelief. This woman is always doing something unexpected without any warning! Hatred once again flared up as Elyse clenched her fists under the covers.

Seeming to have felt Elyse's gaze, Amelie looked at her. "Miss Clayton, are you sure you want my apology?"

Her expression was extremely calm while she stared meaningfully at Elyse with her head slightly tilted upwards. Gnashing her teeth in anger, Elyse didn't even feel her nails digging into her palms!

She stole a glance at Ashton and silently reprimanded, How useless!

He finally recovered a little and realized Amelie had kicked him. That was a never-before blow to his dignity.

Rage filled his mind as his face contorted in either pain or rage. "Damn it! Amelie Dillon, how dare you kick me!"

Still gently massaging her wrist, Amelie looked down and disregarded him. "I was just returning the favor."

"You!" Ashton was furious.

He threw away his manners and was about to hit Amelie.

"That's enough!" Elyse was much more sensible than he was.

They were at the hospital, and it wouldn't do anyone any good to cause a commotion.

Moreover, she despised Ashton's uselessness.

However, she barely managed to keep her elegant temperament. "Ashton, I would like to have a talk with Amelie in private."
