My Sugar And Your Spice

"Amelie, you shameless woman!" Following the shout, Jodie cursed non-stop. She raised the phone, wishing she could smash it and tear Amelie's face in the photo apart. "This woman is nothing but trouble!"

Likewise, the furious Melissa crossed her hands in front of her while constantly wiping her face. "How did she end up with Leo again?"

The photo showed Amelie talking to Leo in front of the hospital's operating room. Images couldn't speak, so they didn't know what the two were talking about. All they knew was that Amelie had met up with Leo late at night.

"Amelie must have heard about Elyse's suicide and knew that Leo would go to the hospital, so she waited there on purpose," Jodie replied irritably. After Elyse, there's Amelie again. There always seems to be someone competing with Foxy. How will Blake feel at ease? Foxy might lure him again.

She was so obsessed with Blake that just thinking about all these twists and turns made her head spin. "That b*tch! I'll kill her!" As she said that, she turned around and ran out.

"We're finally home." After arriving at Pearl Gardens in Halport, Amelie held Bria in her arms and stood at the entrance with Steven, looking at the residents coming in and out. Then, she let out a sigh of relief.

Although they had only stayed in the hospital for one night, the incident that happened to their family was a life-and-death situation. Even recalling it now made her hair stand on its end, giving her the chills all over. They were so close to not making it back home.

"Let's go home. I'll make you something delicious to eat, and you can wash away the bad luck," Steven said cheerfully, taking Bria into his arms.

"Yeah! I haven't had Grandpa's food in a long time. My mouth is already watering," said Bria coquettishly while hugging his neck.

With a hearty laugh, he asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy some groceries now and make it for you."

"I want to go grocery shopping with you, Grandpa. I want to pick my vegetables."

"Okay, okay." The grandfather and granddaughter walked toward the supermarket across the street, completely forgetting about Amelie's existence.
