A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 167

“I haven’t done anything to Bria. Did you guys misunderstand something?” Leo knew that Amelie and
Steven wouldn’t tell him anything unless he first cleared his name.

“You dare to say that you haven’t done anything to Bria?!” Steven’s voice sounded again before Amelie
could respond. It was really terrifying when a person who never got angry became furious. When he
exploded, every word sounded like thunder. “Bria suddenly got food poisoning. and right after that, your
mother came to the office and questioned us, demanding custody of the child. We scared her away,
and she left with dissatisfaction, so she finds people to take Bria away!”

The more he talked about it, the more poignant he felt. How can these people bully my daughter like
that in front of my eyes? How did she survive those four years without me?

Seeing how furious he was, Amelie was heartbroken and blamed herself for it. Steven was already at a
very old age. As his daughter, she should be letting him enjoy the rest of his life, but now, she still made
him worry about her.

After she took a deep breath, she lowered her head in front of Leo. “It doesn’t matter whether you guys
want to hide Bria or plan to use this incident to gain her custody, but please be magnanimous and let
her go. She is still a child. She’ll be scared…” Toward the end of her sentence, her voice trembled very
badly.

Meanwhile, Leo lowered his head to look at her. Not only is there no more affection in her eyes, but
endless doubt has also replaced it. She won’t believe me anymore. At this thought, he felt an extreme
sourness in his chest as though he had been poured a bucket of lemon juice. Why does her attitude
cause such a big reaction in me? Yet, almost immediately, he remembered something more important.



“I’m reaffirming this-Bria is my daughter. I would never do anything to harm her. I didn’t poison her or
take her away. What we should be doing now is finding out where she is and saving her as soon as
possible.” After saying that, he quickly made a call to ask someone to investigate this.

Only when Amelie heard everything he had said did she drop her suspicion on him momentarily. Then,
she called Julia and Samuel to inform them about what had happened there.

After the call, she held Steven to check the surveillance. Since they thought that Leo was the one who
took Bria away, they had yet to go to the surveillance room.

Meanwhile, Leo followed both of them to the surveillance room as well.

He had the urge to walk over to give her some support and hug her when he saw her holding her father
and staring at the surveillance monitor from a distance. Although she tried hard to suppress her
emotion, she still couldn’t hide her trembling body.

In the surveillance, there was only footage of a doctor pushing Bria into the inspection room, but the
situation in the inspection room couldn’t be seen at all. Yet, that was exactly where Bria had
disappeared.

The doctor was also in shock over such a serious incident, so he took the initiative to call the

police.

By the time the three of them had finished watching the surveillance footage, the police had already
arrived.

Since they didn’t see how Bria left the hospital, both Amelie and Steven nearly collapsed. It was
especially so for Steven. He was old, so he couldn’t afford to handle a shock like this. Even his body
was wobbling.



While suppressing the huge anxiety in her, Amelie held him with all her strength.

When Leo saw Amelie and Steven depending on each other as they came out of the room, he couldn’t
endure it anymore. He went forward and held her. For once, she accepted his support and didn’t reject
him.

The moment Steven saw the police, he ran over to hold the chief’s hand. With tears flowing down his
cheeks, he begged, “Please, officer. You must help us find our child. Please.”

At the same time, the president of the hospital came down with a pale face as well since it was a very
serious matter for a patient to suddenly disappear from the hospital. Furthermore, when he saw Leo,
his expression turned even more terrified. “I’m sorry, Mr. Alston. We didn’t know something like this
would happen either.”

Leo’s face was pitch-black at this point. “What’s the use of your apology when my daughter suddenly
disappeared from your hospital?”

Terrified, the president of the hospital didn’t know how to reply, so he quickly lowered his head. Large
droplets of sweat started to appear on his forehead, but since Leo was emitting such an oppressive
aura, he didn’t dare wipe it off. He just let the sweat roll down his face, leaving complicated traces on it.

Meanwhile, the police were divided into two teams. One team was responsible for questioning the
doctor, while the other stayed here to understand the situation from Amelie.

So, Amélie briefly told the police about what happened.

“Did you make any enemies recently, Miss Dillon?” the sharp-eyed police asked.

When she heard the question, she froze for a moment and looked at Leo

Leo had just ended a call, and when he heard the question, he awkwardly faked a cough. “My



“You’re certain? On what grounds?!” Steven bellowed as he walked over to Leo slowly after hearing his
words.

Immediately, Amelie tried to restrain him. “I don’t think it’s them, Dad.” Melissa has got a big ego, so of
course, she won’t stoop to kidnapping. As for Jodie, she has failed so many times that I don’t think she
dares to do this anymore. Who else can it be other than them?

She tried so hard to think but being worried about Bria only made her mind expand, leaving her mind
completely blank. She just couldn’t figure anything out. In an attempt to calm herself down, she took
deep breaths again and again, but this method, which usually worked for her, became useless when
she was dealing with Bria’s disappearance.

Bria is still so young, and she’s sick. She can’t even escape danger. What are the people who took her
away doing to her now? Will they hurt her?

Suddenly, images of children being hurt that she had seen on the news popped into her mind. She felt
suffocated as those bloody images surfaced in her mind as if there was a tight cloth covering her nose
and mouth. She was so afraid that her mind went blank, and she became short of breath. At the same
time, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Afraid that she would cause further distress to Steven, she
secretly pressed on her chest and didn’t dare show the pain she was feeling on her face.

However, Leo noticed the change in her expression, and he looked at her hand, which was pressing on
her chest. “I’ll find her. You should go rest with your father.”

“It’s okay.” She tried her best to put herself together. This pain is nothing compared to the pain of losing
Bria. After a deep breath, she said, “I’m fine.”

When the police saw that the situation was so complicated, he didn’t ask anything more and said,
“Think about it carefully. It’s not a big problem if it’s just a case of both parties fighting for the child. At



least the child is not in danger. It will be slightly trickier if this is a kidnapping, but we’re most worried if
this is your enemies seeking revenge.”

Amelie knew very well that she didn’t make any enemies other than the Alstons.

Meanwhile, Leo thought about it carefully as well and couldn’t think of anyone suspicious, so he shook
his head.

Only Steven touched his head and sat on a chair without saying a word.

Seeing that, Amelie felt her heart sink. She approached him and asked, “Did you think of something,
Dad?”

As he looked at her, he said, “There’s something, but I don’t think it has any connection with Bria being
sick and missing. So, I don’t know whether I should say it.”

Just when he parted his lips and was about to say something, footsteps could be heard from their
opposite.
