When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 96 Stop Her from Pestering You

“How can you still drink when Elyse is in the hospital? Don’t you know she’s in critical condition?”

The person who grabbed Leo’s wine glass was Ashton.

His face was filled with rage as he roared at Leo.

It was then that Leo looked up at Ashton and found his eyes were red. “She has suffered such a huge trauma today, and not only did you abandon her, but you also went chasing after Amelie. That was a humiliation to Elyse! She locked herself in her room for hours and was already unconscious when I found her!”

Ashton choked on a sob while saying that last sentence.

Hearing that Elyse had fainted, Leo finally stood up. “Come on, let’s go.”

At the hospital, Elyse wore a hospital gown and was sitting on the bed, looking very frail.

She was staring blankly straight ahead.

It was until she heard the door open and saw Leo walking in that her eyes brightened up.

“I’m sorry, Leony.” She spoke weakly. “I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”

“It’s not even your fault! It was Amelie who started it!” Ashton spoke up for Elyse without caring who was right and who was wrong.

While sobbing into her palms, Elyse continued, “No, it is my fault. I didn’t expect she would come over. When I sent the invitation, I was only looking to tell her that we’re finally together and that she shouldn’t pester you anymore. Leony, I know what I did was wrong, but I love you, and I don’t want her to come between us.”

“Look how Elyse is haunted by guilt. Can you stand seeing her so sad?” Ashton’s eyes were filled with rage as he gave Leo a death stare.

He believed every word she said.

“You can leave,” Leo calmly ordered.

Ashton wanted to stay but was pulled away by Laura.

Elyse leaned over and shakingly pulled on Leo’s shirt. “Leony, I didn’t know my good intentions would embarrass you in public. I’m sorry.”

Tears streamed down as she kept apologizing, making her look so pitiful that no one could bear to say harsh words to her.
