My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 169

“Mr. Dillon, Elie.” Julia and Samuel rushed over.

Unable to catch her breath, Julia quickly grabbed the two. “What happened to Bria? How did she suddenly disappear?”

Before they could even respond, she turned around and noticed Leo. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she sounded hostile as she snarled, “What are you doing here, Leo? Is Bria’s disappearance connected to you in any way? Elie has already divorced you. What more do you want? Give Bria back to her!”

With that, Amelie was on the verge of physically attacking Leo, but Samuel quickly stepped in, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her back.

At this point, Julia was fuming so hard that she kicked her feet in frustration. “Why can’t I teach him a lesson? What’s your relationship with him? This sc’mbag keeps hurting Elie, so I must fight him to death. You must be in cahoots with him since you’re stopping me!”

Julia was so angry that she spoke recklessly. Samuel also knew that she was emotional and could only try to persuade her by saying. “The most important thing right now is finding Bria. We can talk about everything else later, okay?”

After hearing those words, Julia finally calmed down and looked at Amelie. Her eyes were filled with deep worry as tears welled up. “What exactly happened to Bria?”

Amelie explained the situation again.

While furrowing his brows, Samuel asked, “You’re saying that she was sent to the hospital because of a mild case of food poisoning?”

Amelie nodded her head silently. His lips were pressed into a thin line as a wave of self-blame

filled her heart.

“It’s my fault for not taking good care of her,” Steven said regretfully as well. “If I had been more careful, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“This is not the time for self-blame,” Samuel chimed in. “Why don’t we think carefully about what happened before she felt unwell? Don’t overlook any small details, no matter how insignificant they may seem.”
