Chapter 398 She’ll Have to Pay!
“Who else could it be? Mrs. Alston didn’t get much rest last night, and she has been complaining about her headache ever since she woke up this morning. She eventually got the doctor to come over as she couldn’t handle the pain any longer.” Leila let out a sigh. “Mrs. Alston has been really worried recently.”
Amelie understood what was going on even though Leila wasn’t explicit with her words.
“Okay,” Amelie uttered before she hurried into the house. As expected, she found Melissa lying on the couch with a weak look on her face.
Melissa used to love painting her nails, but her nails were naked and bare right then.
“Are you feeling better?” Amelie asked gently as she walked over.
Melissa had her eyes closed at first, but she opened them wide after hearing Amelie’s voice. The bitter and weak look on Melissa’s face was immediately replaced by a more energetic one as Melissa pushed herself up to sit on the couch. “You’re here! Come over and take a seat. Go on and get her some soup, Miss Potts. Hurry up,” Melissa ordered.
Leila had just sent the doctor out, and she looked rather flustered upon hearing Melissa’s impatient tone. Amelie held Leila’s hand to stop her. “It’s fine. I’ll just be here for a while.”

in Melissa’s mind when she saw how avoidant Melissa was of her gaze. “Why don’t we wait for a while more?” Amelie suggested. The doctors were still uncertain about Leo’s condition—they first had to find out the reason that Leo was in a coma. Amelie, therefore, still felt rather hopeful about Leo’s condition, and she thought that he might wake up. “Now’s not the best time to bring Bria back. After

got to her feet. Deep down, she knew that Melissa wasn’t being entirely transparent with her even then. Mrs. Alston probably just doesn’t trust me enough. She wanted to use the Walshes to keep an eye on me and to control me.
