Read A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 203 for more details.

“Did you just say that your grandpa lives in Quinn Town?” Leo instantly grabbed Bria’s arms as he asked.

Bria’s expression shifted as Leo’s sudden change in behavior startled her.

Leo realized that he was being impulsive, so he quickly let go. “Sorry, Bria, I just didn’t expect that your grandpa and your mommy would be from Quinn Town.”

Even though he had bumped into Amelie when he went to Quinn Town before, he initially thought that she was just following him there.

Later on, he thought that she was going there on vacation.

When they got married in the beginning, he was aggrieved, so he didn’t ask much about Amelie.

He knew nothing about her except for the fact that she had a father.

Because of this new revelation, his heart skipped a beat.

Bria knew he didn’t mean it, so she stopped being afraid as she said tentatively, “Mommy grew up there. There’s a huge river with fish in it. Grandpa took me fishing last time, and we caught a lot of them.”

Little children only chose to talk about things they remembered the most, so they couldn’t give the answers adults were looking for.

Nevertheless, Leo didn’t mind it, and his emotions slowly settled down.

All his investigations proved that Ellen was Big Eyes, the person who donated their cornea to him. What did that have to do with whether Amelie was from Quinn Town or not?

He was overreacting.

Soon came the day of the event at Bria’s school.

Early in the morning, Leo made arrangements for company matters, then hastily got ready to drive so that he could meet up with Bria and Amelie.

He had just walked a few steps when his phone rang. It was a call from Elyse.

Seeing Elyse’s number, Leo felt a sense of disgust rising within his heart, and he decided not to answer.

Elyse only attempted to call him once and never tried again after that.

However, when Leo walked to the entrance of the company, he saw her seated in a wheelchair, dressed thinly and looking pitifully at him.

Her face and lips were especially pale. She looked weak, sickly, and oh-so-pitiful.

When Leo saw her, his unaffected gaze darkened a little as his handsome face tensed up. “Why are you here?”

His tone was nonchalant.

Elyse opened her mouth, but before she could speak, tears fell out of her eyes and streamed down her face.

“Leo, I’m scared.” Her voice was shaky as well. “My phase 2 physical examination report just came out, and the tumor in my brain is getting worse.”

As she spoke, she painstakingly wheeled herself over to him, then pitifully grabbed his leg. “I’m scared that I might just die. Leo, can’t you accompany me?”

When Leo heard Elyse’s sobs, the warmth didn’t return to his cold eyes. Almost without hesitation, he pulled his hand away. “I’ll find you the best doctor.”

“You know that I just want you to be with me.” As if breaking down, Elyse sobbed so hard that her body trembled. She hugged herself pitifully, acting like an abandoned little bird.

Any man would feel pity if they saw her feeble appearance.

The care worker who was pushing the wheelchair couldn’t help but say, “Ever since Miss Clayton received the report last night, she hasn’t slept a wink. She just kept crying, and if this goes on, her health will get worse.”

“It’s your own body. If you don’t take care of it, you’ll be the only one suffering when things get worse,” Leo said calmly with an indifferent look in his eyes.

He lowered his head and made a call to Eugene. “Find the world’s best brain tumor specialist within 24 hours.”

With that, he lowered his hand. “Go back to the hospital and wait.”

Then, he left.

Behind him, the care worker shook her head as she watched him leave. “What a cold-hearted man. Under these circumstances, it’s only proper to offer at least a few words of comfort.”

Elyse was already pursing her lips tightly.

Her body, which was weak and soft moments before, had now tensed and straightened up.

Her fingers gripped the handle of the wheelchair fiercely as hatred spilled from her eyes.

“Miss Clayton, if you threaten him with your life, perhaps he would turn back.” The care worker had received too much from Elyse, so she couldn’t help but provide some ideas.

How could she miss such a good opportunity?

Soon, a thought occurred to her.

Even though Bria only had a fracture in her leg, she wasn’t allowed to walk before she completely recovered.

Hence, she went to school in her wheelchair.

The school was holding a community service event, and the children were going to the nursing home to visit the old folks there. They would help tidy the place and put on some performances.

Because of her injured leg, Bria couldn’t join the group event. She couldn’t help with either task, so she looked a little sullen like a withered flower.

However, the teachers felt that she was pretty and quite good with words, so she was tasked with presenting flowers to the old folks.

With Amelie’s help, Bria happily brought back a large bouquet, her small face lighting up like the sun.

“Wait for me here, Bria. I’m going to the bathroom.” Amelie patted Bria’s little head as she spoke.

Bria nodded in understanding. “Be careful, Mommy.”

As she watched Amelie leave, the smile on her lips never once faded.

“Bria.” A girl wearing a princess crown and a pretty princess dress ran over to her, her eyes staring right at the bouquet Bria was holding. “You have a bad leg and can’t walk, so why don’t you let me present the flowers instead?”

“There’s no need for that,” Bria declined without hesitation.

Her thought process was simple; since the teacher had given her the task, she had to accomplish it.

The little girl was upset now. “The teacher gave you all the flowers, but I want to present them as well!”

It was only then that Bria understood what the girl meant. She nodded generously, “Since you want to present the flowers, I’ll give you half so that we can present the flowers together.”

She thought that the girl would be happy with this suggestion, but the girl stomped her feet and cried reluctantly, “I don’t want half of them! In my house, as long as I want it, Daddy and Mommy will give me the whole thing!”

With that, the little girl glared intently at Bria, willing the latter to give her all the flowers.

“Come on, give it to me!” Seeing that Bria wasn’t moving, she moved to grab the flowers.

Bria was in a wheelchair, so it wasn’t convenient for her to move. The flowers were about to be snatched when…
