Chapter 122

She held her fury down and coldly hissed, “Just find her, and don’t ask questions.”

Oh, she’s mad. Ashton quickly explained, “I don’t mean to pry. I’m just worried if Leo finds out that this isn’t the one who—”

“She is the donor as long as you say she is!” Elyse growled like a tigress.

And Ashton was shocked.

A moment later, Elyse realized she had just lost her composure. Well, this is awkward. I know I see him as less than a bug, but at least he helped me. I shouldn’t have yelled at him. That was a bit unreasonable. And I have to calm him down, so he’ll keep supporting me. Softly, she apologized, “Sorry. Tension has been running high, so I lost control of my temper. I didn’t mean it.” She once again put on a sad look and gave him a puppy pout,

And Ashton fell for her act again. “I can’t believe Leo wouldn’t pay more attention to you. It’s like he doesn’t even care about your feelings. Unbelievable. He chose you. He should be treasuring you like you’re the most precious thing in life.” Elyse was the most perfect woman in the world, at least for Ashton. He thought she deserved nothing but the best.

Elyse sneered in silence. Yeah, right. Like you care about love. You’re a cheating jerk. I’ve seen you change girlfriends at least four times a month. As if you know how to treasure a woman. But she kept that to herself.

She still needed him, after all. So instead of mocking him, she held his hand. “I can’t count on my family for anything. Leo is all I have left. I have to go through a lot just to get back with him, and I don’t want anything to get between us. I don’t mind him searching for the donor, but I’m worried she might have

ideas about him. If she wanted me to leave him, it’d be a disaster for me. And Leo might find her request hard to fulfill. You have to keep it a secret, for both him and me. Insist that Elaine was the donor.”

She went back not long after she left the night before, worried that Toby might put in a bad word with Leo. But by chance, she found out Leo was still searching for the donor. He didn’t think much about Toby’s elaboration, but she, on the other hand, felt a chill tun down her spine. And the only thought that went through her mind was, I can’t let Leo keep searching for that woman no matter what. She needed someone to impersonate the donor. Someone dead. And so, she asked Ashton to help her.

That sounds serious. Ashton quickly said, “I won’t say a word. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you. For everything you’ve done for Leo and me.” Mostly me. The only one who gained something out of this was her, and yet she acted like it was good for her and Leo.

Ashton sighed. “Leo’s so lucky he has you.”

And then someone behind them coughed.

Elyse turned around only to be met with Leo’s dark gaze. She quickly let go of Ashton’s hand and approached Leo. “Oh, back so soon? I thought you would be up there for a while.” She only had eyes for Leo, her concern

Leo shook his head. “I want to see Elaine’s mother.”

“We’ll go right away.” Elyse nodded and pointed at a shack not too far from them. “That’s their house.”

Ashton didn’t follow them. He stayed back to get some sleep. Only Elyse and Leo went to the shack.

Halfway through, Leo asked, “Why’d you suddenly help with the search?”

She froze up and looked at Leo. He seemed calm as if he was just asking that question out of curiosity. But she knew better. Someone like Leo would never ask any question simply out of curiosity, Alarm bells rang in her head, but Elyse remained calm. She pursed her lips and covered her mouth, then she looked at the ground. “I

hated myself for lying to you last time, and I wanted to do something to make it up to you. I’ve been asking

Ashton and others to search for Elaine no matter what. Fortunately, Ashton knows a lot about your case, and

he eventually found Elaine.” She went ahead and held his hand before she swung it. “I owe you and Elaine an

apology. If I hadn’t been so selfish, you would’ve known about her a long time ago. She’s no longer with us, but I wish to fund her sister’s education until she graduates college. It’s what I can do for her.”

Leo seemed to believe her, and he held her hand. “Taking care of her family is my job, not yours.”

“We’ll be a family soon. You don’t have to be formal,” she said cheekily.

But Leo froze. For some reason, when he thought of the woman whom he would raise a family with, he could

only see Amelie in his mind. He quickly shook his head and forgot about her. “Let’s go.”

Elaine’s mother happily welcomed them. Leo asked for Elaine’s medical records, and the lady quickly laid out

the files before him, including the one that recorded the donation of her cornea.

“This is the consultation result she came back with when she decided to donate her cornea. And this is her

train ticket to Quinn Town. And this is the form she filled out. The medical staff refused her application for a living donation. And this is her diary.”

Leo skimmed through everything.

A smile curled Elyse’s lips, and she nodded at Elaine’s mother.

Before they left, Leo gave Elaine’s mother a check worth seven hundred and fifty grand, much to the lady’s

delight. And then she saw the couple off.

Good. He believes the story now. Elyse heaved a sigh of relief. Now I don’t have to worry about that woman

anymore. She’s not going to be a threat to my relationship now.

Leo took her back to her home. She got out of the car beautifully and winked at him. “You’ve been driving for hours. Wanna crash at my place for the night?”

“No. I have something else to settle.” And Leo turned around.

And she smiled. But so what? Elaine’s dead, and now he’s forever caught in the curse of his old flame- Big Eyes. He’ll be mine eventually.

Excellent Homes. The place where Toby lived. He came downstairs languidly, wearing his pajamas. There were no servants around. He was used to living by himself, and he could do whatever he

wanted. And he was about to get himself a glass of water. But the moment he touched his glass, he saw someone on his couch, and he

gasped.
