Chapter 199 Twists and Turns
Amelia's interview went smoothly, with Leonard showing up halfway through to support her.
He spoke highly of Amelia's abilities and seemed to know her well, so the other interviewers naturally knew how to evaluate her.
In the end, Leonard snorted at me arrogantly, while Amelia glanced my way with an apologetic look.
When Emma found out that Amelia was coming for an interview, she rushed over. "Amelia! It's really you! Where have you been since graduation? I couldn't find you at all!"
Meeting up with college roommates always felt especially warm. I felt a bit emotional. It seemed like it had been a long time since I had felt this happy.
Amelia said she passed her interview and wanted to treat us to dinner, which we happily accepted.
However, when I saw the restaurant she had picked, I hesitated. "Amelia, this place is a bit pricey, and doesn't seem worth it..."
"Is it? I think it's fine. I've been to restaurants like this abroad, so I'm used to it." Amelia seemed unconcerned, and Emma and I exchanged concerned glances but said nothing as we followed her.
It was clear that Amelia had been doing well these past few years. Her demeanor exuded sophistication, no longer the college girl who needed to check the menu prices multiple times. When she mentioned seeing Leonard after returning to the country, she looked at me apologetically.
"Eva, I swear, I really had no idea he would wake up. It felt like he was in an imprinting phase, like a chick just hatched."
Emma laughed and said, "Are you saying he thinks of you as his mother?"
Emma raised her glass and downed her drink in one go. "But Leonard really is something. He risked his life for Eva, yet ended up not recognizing her?"
I shook my it's quite common.

head and said, "The doctor mentioned there are cases like this.
"Who knows when he'll remember? Let's just wait and see." exclusive content.
It was much better that he was awake than not, and I felt grateful for that. I don't blame Amelia either. Who could have predicted something like this would happen?
I could only say that Leonard and I had a fate filled with twists and turns.
Emma was in high spirits today and drank a bit too much, constantly heading to the restroom.
Taking advantage of her absence, I raised my glass and said, "Amelia, I still want to thank you for what you did back then. If you hadn't helped me give that necklace to Leonard...'
"Eva, that's all in the past. There's no need to thank me."
Amelia clinked her glass with mine and added, "Let's not bring this up again."
I nodded, still feeling grateful. When Leonard's grandmother had her accident, I was anxious to go abroad and didn't have any cash on hand. I could only give Leonard the pink diamond necklace that my grandmother had left me. At that time, Emma was busy preparing to study abroad, and thankfully, Amelia was in the dorm, so she was able to help me.
Although Leonard's grandmother ultimately passed away, I felt a little better knowing I had been able to help him..
Given lan's attitude toward her that day, he probably knew about that incident too. No matter who they thought had given the necklace to Leonard, I felt quite fortunate about it. When Emma returned, she looked a bit off, and behind her was Leonard, holding an umbrella.
"Amy, it's already past ten. Let me take you home; it's about to rain."
Thunder rumbled outside. It was definitely going to rain.
Leonard looked displeased as he glanced at the drinks on the table. He said, "Amy, did you forget that you'll have an allergic reaction if you mix red wine and beer? It could be fatal! "Eva, you're her friend. I hope you'll be more careful in the future. I don't want anything to happen to my girlfriend."
Leonard stood up, pulling Amelia to her feet, and left the restaurant. Meanwhile, I stared blankly at their retreating figures.
He remembered that I was allergic to mixing those two drinks, but he didn't remember that the person with the allergy was me.
