Chapter 62

Half an hour later, Elyse emerged from the room. She stared at the ground, her hair tumbling down her shoulders. She twirled her hair as she called out, “Leo.”

Leo approached her. “So? How was it?” he quickly asked.

“You should ask the doctor.” Elyse turned around and looked at the doctor.

“Oh, everything’s normal. Don’t worry about it,” answered the doctor.

Leo felt a weight lifted off his shoulder only to be replaced by a question. “Everything’s normal?”

“Yes, now let’s go.” Elyse tugged on Leo’s hand and tried to drag him away. She did not want to stay any longer.

Leo let her drag him away. His arm was pointing to the ground, and he tried to hold something, but all he grasped was air. So, she wasn’t the donor? Who was it, then? Elyse…. Amelie… Leo muttered the names under his breath.

Deep in his thoughts, Leo instinctively grunted. After she was gone, he mused over the question of the identity of his donor. Then he made a call to Quinn Town’s hospital.

“I’m looking for Dr. Philips from ophthalmology,” he quickly said.

“Just do it!” he snapped.

Shocked by his tone, the staff member quickly went to look for Lily.
