My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 203

“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. Elyse huffed, the corners of her lips getting even more twisted.“With my life, you say?” Leo hated her so much now, he probably wished she would just die.If she died, he would be set free. He would no longer have any obligations to fulfill and repay what Ellen did for him.She must not die.She would fight Leo to the bitter end!Once back in the ward, Elyse diverted the care worker away, then made a call to Laura. “Leo seemed to be in a hurry just now. Where is he going?”“Elyse.” When Laura heard Elyse’s voice, she spoke with some hesitation. “Mr. Alston doesn’t want me to reveal his whereabouts. I’m sorry.”“Even you are looking down on me now!” Elyse was so good at acting. In just a split second, her voice turned sad and pitiful. “Laura, we’re the best of friends! How can you treat me like this?”Laura was speechless.“I don’t have any other intentions; it’s just too painful to endure. I just want to know when Leo would have time to visit me. Are you not willing to help me even with a small request like this?”Laura sighed in exasperation.“I’m not quite sure where they’ve gone. I heard them mentioning a kindergarten when they went out. Elyse, it’s not that I don’t want to help you; I’m truly powerless.”“Fine, then.” Elyse hung up emotionlessly.Laura was such a snob.As soon as she realized that Elyse had lost, she stopped taking the latter seriously.Still, a general direction was better than none.There was only one kindergarten Leo would go to, which was the one Bria was at.At the thought of Leo meeting Bria and spending time with Amelie, Elyse was so furious that she gnashed her teeth.She hastily got someone to investigate Bria’s school, and she soon heard about the event.A cold chuckle escaped her lips.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
