When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 235

Leo Alston from Ellen’s diary, where Ellen described herself as Big Eyes.Anyway, Elyse did not plan to tell Michael the truth because he was a blabbermouth that might leak the secret. Her sister was the key to her comeback.“Quit overthinking. From today onward, you need to keep an eye on Ellen and take good care of her. She’s Leo’s treasure right now. If anything happens to her, we’re going down too!” Elyse said.Now that Michael had witnessed Leo’s ruthlessness, he nodded furiously and replied, “Don’t worry! I’ll treat her as my savior.Those who brought him luck would be considered his saviors.“My savior! Do you have anything you want to eat or drink?” Michael asked while heading to the kitchen to get some food for Ellen.Although Ellen was mad, she remained timid and stayed put instead of going with him.Elyse quietly stared at her sister with a strong dislike. Ellen was never an outstanding kid when they were young. She was uncommunicative and looked like a loser. How the tables have turned! Ellen was now a treasure in Leo’s eyes.Even though Elyse would benefit from this lie, she felt uneasy about Ellen’s sudden leap in status.“How did you lose your cornea?” Elyse questioned Ellen coldly, held her chin, and examined her eyes roughly. “You didn’t actually donate them to Leo Alston, did you?”As Ellen was timid, Elyse did not believe that she would make a brave decision like that.

Have you forgotten the lesson he taught us so quickly?” Elyse felt uncomfortable after she was reprimanded by her father, but she couldn’t say a thing as a comeback. Michael placed some good food in front of Ellen and opened a bottle of Dr. Pepper for her. “Go on. Have a drink.”Ellen bent her back while eating the bread and drinking Dr. Pepper. Soon, her mouth was filled with food. When she was chewing, she mumbled, “Ellie… Me Liz. She is Ellie. Ellie’s eyes… Ellie brave girl.”Michael hummed along with Ellen, thinking that his daughter was speaking nonsense. However, Elyse started frowning. If she recalled correctly, Michael had once stayed at Steven Dillon’s home as an apprentice.Michael went to live with Steven Dillon for a while with a fake name because he was there to steal the recipe for the adhesives. He named himself Gary McBride, while Ellen became Liz. Since the identification system was not digitized, no one cared to verify their backgrounds. The two lived with the Dillons for a long time.Ellie… Liz…Elyse went over Ellen’s words just now and stood up in a hurry. Her movement was so great that she knocked against the table.Michael gave her a puzzled look. “What’s the matter?”Elyse did
