A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 154

Leo’s question was really presumptuous, making Zachary uncomfortable as his question forced Zachary to reveal confidential information. He was momentarily stunned before he responded defensively, “I’m sorry, but I can’t reveal anything.”

However, Leo seemed to have expected that Zachary would keep it a secret and was not in a hurry to answer. He merely cast his gaze onto Zachary. Even though he was young, he had a deep stare, making Zachary feel discomfited enough that he experienced difficulty breathing.

The thought of him panicking at a young man’s gaze shocked him, and this time, he took a good look at Leo. He was a fantastic surgeon who had done many surgeries and withstood an insurmountable amount of stress over the years. But his ability to resist pressure and remain calm in the face of life and death became useless when facing this young man. How bizarre!

It definitely didn’t help matters that Leo wasn’t deliberately showing off his majestic aura. There wasn’t even a frown on his face, yet he was already taking control of the situation. For a split second, Zachary thought of surrendering and revealing everything. But before he could roll over, he managed to take a deep breath and lowered his head to avoid Leo’s gaze.

“I know that you’re a capable man. You can force me to spill the tea however and whenever you want. However, I made a promise that I will not disclose the donor’s identity to anyone, and I will hold on to that promise.”

Leo looked at Zachary, but this time, with a hint of admiration. Leo thought Zachary was simply a doctor, who would succumb to pressure, but it seemed that he was very wrong. Though, this would not stop him from getting the information he wanted.

“I was the recipient of the cornea you took from my donor,” he said patiently. “I merely hope to thank her.”

“It was you?” Zachary was surprised at the turn of events. He had made some, in hindsight, very accurate assumptions when he witnessed Amelie’s behavior back then. Regardless, as his motive was to save his patients, he could not be bothered with the whereabouts of the cornea. Later on, as Amelie recovered and he left the private hospital to go abroad, he totally forgot about the incident.

He was stunned and at a loss for words. It was after a few seconds that he regained his senses. “To be honest, Mr. Alston, I don’t know who she is. The only thing I know is that her last name is Dillon.”

• “Dillon?” Leo could barely restrain his emotions. He thought of Amelie, who appeared not long ago. Was it really… her?

He was not sure what to make out of this complicated situation. If she indeed was the donor, who had donated the cornea to him, why had she not mentioned a single thing for four years? She even stayed with the Alstons for four years, and no one noticed her eye problems. How could it be such a coincidence that she appeared in front of the Hospital if she weren’t the donor?
