Chapter 152

Amelie sat wearily on a chair in the office with her eyes closed.

Even so, her mind wasn’t blank as her rapid-fire thoughts screamed beneath her lids. Instead, her mind

was busy thinking about all the things that had happened recently.

Suddenly, her phone rang, causing her to jerk out of her thoughts.

She snapped her eyes open and saw it was an unknown number.

Amelie frowned slightly and simply took it as a scam call. So, she didn’t answer it right away.

However, the caller rang Amelie up again. It was obvious that the caller had set their mind to looking for

her.

She was left with no choice, so she tapped on the answer button and took the call.

“Hello, may I speak to Miss Dillon?” A polite voice belonging to a middle-aged man sounded on the

other end.

“This is she. May I know whom I have the pleasure of speaking with?” Amelie couldn’t help asking as

she listened to the highly unfamiliar voice.

“I’m Mr. Zachary-Zachary Satterlund,” replied the person on the other end of the phone.

The name Zachary Satterlund left Amelie in a trance for a long while. So many incidents that took place

in the past flashed through her mind like it was projecting a movie.

“Mr. Zachary,” she quickly addressed in a respectful tone. Her body also straightened as she greeted,

“Hello.”

Amelie had a special bond with Zachary. In fact, he even saved her life before.

He let out a gentle chuckle before he said, “It’s fortunate that you still remember me. Actually, I’m

calling you today because I have something that I need your help with.”

“What is it? Feel free to tell me.” Amelie didn’t hesitate to agree with Zachary’s request.

Zachary pondered briefly. “The situation is like this. I recently returned to Capland to give a talk and I

need some special surgical cases to stand in during my speech. You are the only case I have

encountered for corneal exfoliation surgery in‘living donors and also the first patient who suffered from

a severe infection that I had saved. Hence, I hope to name you as an example of analysis for my

students who are passionate about the medical field. Is it alright for you to work with me for an eye and

psychological examination? Of course, you can decline if that makes you uncomfortable.”

“When is it?” Amelie didn’t turn him down.

Initially, I wanted to ask for Mr. Zachary’s help to excise my cornea, but he disagreed. What was more,

he was the one who incessantly dissuaded me among those who opposed me from proceeding with

the surgery. Still, although he opposed me back then, he was also the one who never forsaken me. He

even brought me back when I suffered from an infection at a later stage. Since I did sign a medical

liability waiver, Mr. Zachary could totally disregard me under such circumstances. Considering his

kindness toward me in the past, there’s no way I won’t heln him with even such a small favor In truth I

brilliant medical skills are quite popular abroad. Today, he is an important director at a leading medical

institution. He still works as a medical professor at the university and has contributed to countless

achievements.

Zachary was delighted when he heard her silent agreement when she asked for the meet-up time

instead of turning him down. Therefore, he quickly replied, “Meet me at Jittan Hospital at 9.00AM two

days later. We can change the time if you’re not available.”

“That won’t be necessary.” Amelie smiled. “I will be there on time.”

“You have my sincere thanks.” Unfortunately, due to his practical nature, he wasn’t really good at

pleasantries. Therefore, he just expressed his gratitude with an earnest demeanor.

Amelie pursed her lips. “It’s nothing. You don’t have to thank me. Speaking of which, I should be the

one thanking you for saving my life all those years ago.”

Then, the two chatted for a while before they hung up.

Zachary’s phone call once again brought Amelie back to memory lane.

I suffered from a severe infection, forcing me to stay in the hospital bed in a comatose state for three

days. Although I had woken up, my body was still in frail health. So, there’s a high chance that my life

would still be in danger regardless of my conscious state. Since the hospital was afraid of taking

responsibility for my adverse reaction, they rushed me out of the hospital. It was Mr. Zachary who took

me to a clinic and looked after me day and night for three months. Even though Mr. Zachary looked

after me partly due to medical research purposes, I probably wouldn’t make it past three months if it

weren’t for him. I only gradually recovered and barely got out of bed after three months. Leo’s image

crossed my mind as soon as I could get out of bed. And since Leo once told me the location and name

of his company, I ran all the way there, wishing so badly that I could see him immediately after he

regained his eyesight. To this day, I can still clearly recall how fast my heart was beating when I stood

downstairs at the building of Genesis. Even though my body was shaky, quivering, and extremely weak

due to health reasons, I was overjoyed when I thought of how I finally survived through life and death

moments and was able to see him again. Yet, look at what happened afterward. I saw him coming out

of the building while holding hands with a girl. He held the girl’s hand and passed me by. At that time, I

could even hear the gentle and sweet words he said to the girl. Yet, never once did he look at me. Even

though everything was predestined, I still naively chose to stay in the city where he was, attending the

same high school as him and seeing how he treated Elyse lovingly every minute and every second.Leo

was undoubtedly an exceptional student and a prominent figure in the school. On the other hand, I tried

my best to hide my ability. I purposely performed poorly on every exam. I often wore unfashionable

outfits, making myself look unattractive on purpose. Despite knowing he couldn’t possibly recognize me

as he never saw how I looked, I still didn’t dare to meet him head-on. Later, I successfully got into

university,Still, following closely on Leo’s updates seemed to have become my habit. At that time, as

long as I was free, I would be unable to control myself and run straight to the city where he was last

seen. Therefore, to get him out of my mind. I studied hard, did live streaming at a full split, and risked

my life to start a company, establishing Starlight Media afterward.I thought I had completely forgotten

about him. Yet, the wall that I had built up to get him out of my mind abruptly collapsed after we slept

together for no reason, and I encountered him getting cheated on by Elyse. A final and fatal mistake

was made just because I hadn’t had the heart to reject him.Now that I think about it, I was ridiculously

stupid at that time. I can’t believe I would risk my life and donate my cornea just because he mentioned

something about mutual help. When I saw him getting criticized by others, I would risk my reputation

and rather be misunderstood by everyone to defend him. And what did I get for protecting him? I got

nothing but a tragic and miserable four years of marriage.Sadly, that tragic outcome of my mistake still

lasted until today.

Amelie sighed softly as her thoughts took a sad downturn. She shook her head, forcing herself to

dismiss all this nonsense from her mind.

Two days later, as per her agreement with Zachary, Amelie departed early for their meeting at Jittan

Hospital.

At the same time, Toby and Leo also showed up at the front entrance of Jittan Hospital.

Toby checked the time on his watch as he said, “It was Zachary’s assistant who leaked the news. To

organize this talk, Zachary purposely went to seek the only living donor for the corneal donation,

requesting her to work with him for a physical examination. I specifically looked into Zachary’s

background. I found that he had worked at that private hospital nine years ago and was the greatest

ophthalmologist there.”

The private hospital Toby mentioned was the previously identified place where the one who donated

the cornea to Leo had her cornea excised.

“I had gone to that hospital and made the relevant queries. According to their record, there was only

one surgical case involving living donors performed in that hospital. Hence, the person that Mr. Zachary

went to seek could only be that girl,” Toby briefly explained the situation in detail. Finally, he concluded,

“So we can be sure that we will be able to meet the donor today.”

Leo remained silent. He tightly pursed his lips, and his defined facial features were grave.

His grave expression hid a tinge of bitter coldness.

The donor is about to make her appearance. Sure enough, it must be a living person. So, it cannot be

the dead Elaine. Do’s this mean Ashton, Elyse, and Elaine teamed up to deceive me?

Toby naturally knew he was unhappy when he saw Leo behaving this way. Therefore, he didn’t try to

start a conversation and merely pressed Leo’s shoulder, giving him some comfort.

After that, he looked at his watch again. “According to the assistant, both Zachary and the donor had

agreed to meet at 9:00AM. It’s soon.”

Only then did Leo raise his head and look outside.

A black limousine drove up in the distance.

Like a behemoth gliding across the night sky, the retro-looking body of the limousine glowed with subtle

luxury.

“Mr. Zachary and his assistant are here!” Toby exclaimed.

Leo also caught a glimpse of Zachary and his assistant coming out of the car. The two stood by the car.

Their limousine was just under the high stairway, separating them from Leo, about 30 to 40 steps away.

Nonetheless, the two didn’t come up straight away. Instead, they looked around as though they were

searching for someone.

Zachary took out his phone and started calling.

After a while, he hung up.

Even so, Leo could hear him say, “She’s going to be here soon.”

With that, he swiftly narrowed his vision, and his eyes scanned every corner like radar.

A familiar-looking car came into sight within five seconds, 1-Isn’t that Amelie’s car?
