My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 261-265

Chapter 261
Amelie was examining the marks on the ground when she sensed a shadow charging at her from behind. She instinctively darted to the side, falling to the ground. Before she knew what had happened, a shriek rang out from beside her.“Aah!”When she turned around, all she could see was someone falling off the cliff. So, she stared at the ridge for a while, dazed, before a realization hit her. Then, she jerked her head up, looking around for Jodie. Where’s Jodie? Could she have fallen off the cliff?Boom! Suddenly, her face contorted in terror as a loud boom resounded in her thoughts. She instinctively peered over the cliff’s edge in search of Jodie.She looked down the cliff and saw a collection of trampled, withering plants. They all exhibited signs of impact marks, but she couldn’t see through to assess Jodie’s condition. Nonetheless, Amelie didn’t give any thought to pausing before leaping to her feet and sliding down the slope until she reached the bottom of the ravine. After making a few wrong turns, she eventually located the pond Jodie had fallen into.As Jodie fell, the forest’s vines caught her and cushioned her fall, so she didn’t go straight into the pond. Still, with the vines around her waist, her head was submerged. She could not raise her head, so she had no choice but to continually struggle, which made both her and the vines sway and jiggle. Moreover, she would drown if left in that position.Meanwhile, Amelie was horrified when she saw that.Jodie, on the other hand, was suffering horribly. It’s unfair that I have to go through this when I only want to push that woman off the edge. The vines had entangled her from head to toe, and she had no way of freeing herself. Her entire body was sending out waves of fear and pain while her head was submerged, and all she could do was scream for help. Before she could say anything, her mouth was filled with ice-cold mountain water.She coughed and choked to get the water out of her mouth, but she couldn’t, so it came out her nose instead. Soon, she felt her lungs expanding to their breaking point as the pressure on them increased, and she struggled to catch her breath. As a sheltered kid raised in luxury, she had never encountered such a situation. At that point, she was afraid and could only flail helplessly in the water.Standing in the narrow space nearby, Amelie could tell the danger Jodie was in within a few seconds. Jodie was hanging over a deep pond with blue waters that glistened in the cold light below, but Amelie could not

see to the bottom of the pond. With a single glance, she felt chills run down her spine.Still, she took a deep breath and plunged into the water. As soon as she entered the water, the chilling temperature engulfed every cell in her body. The temperature of the water was considerably lower than she had anticipated.Within seconds of entering the water, Amelie felt the chill permeating every part of her body. Her entire body felt as if it were being pricked by a thousand tiny needles, and every square inch of her skin ached. Since every stroke required extra effort, she struggled to get through it. Nevertheless, she managed to swim over to Jodie and got her head above water.Then, Jodie began coughing violently when her head was lifted, causing her to spit out mouthfuls of water.Amelie was about to instruct her on what to do next when Jodie suddenly burst into tears. As she struggled, she sobbed, “It hurts! I want out! I want to get out of here now! I don’t want to spend another second here.”She then wrapped her arms around Amelie’s shoulders, trying her best to use Amelie to raise herself higher and away from the water. Soon, Amelie’s weight had dramatically increased. Amelie was already struggling due to the severe cold of the water, but Jodie’s actions didn’t help. Eventually, Amelie’s entire body sank, and the water rose above her chin and mouth. If this continues, we will both drown. Then, Amelie screamed and shouted to snap Jodie back to her senses.Nonetheless, Jodie had lost all rationality and could not comprehend anything she heard.As Amelie sank lower and lower, Jodie’s anxiety grew, and her grip on Amelie’s throat tightened until she was effectively strangling and choking her.Amelie’s lungs felt increasingly suffocated with each passing minute, her head became heavier, and her strength dwindled. Even though she was weak from suffocation, her survival instincts kicked in, and she slammed a fist into the back of Jodie’s neck. With Jodie out cold, her hand dropped from Amelie’s, and she lay there motionless.After a few deep breaths, Amelie realized she could not swim out of the pond while dragging an unconscious Jodie behind her. Then, she reached over and grabbed a nearby rope, made a loop with it, and placed Jodie’s head in the sling. Later, Amelie tied the rope around Jodie’s waist, securing it to the tangled mass of vines so that Jodie’s head would not sink back into the water. Following that, she swam back to the shore and stumbled along the path for help.Before she could get very far down the path, she came upon Fabian supporting a hobbling Fiona.As soon as he learned that Jodie had been hurt, he promptly set Fiona down and grabbed a few twigs to cushion a spot on the

floor before assisting her over to it. “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”Standing beside them, Amelie saw that his hand was bleeding. While Fabian did not come from a wealthy background, he did have silky skin as an actor. There were scratches over his hands from working so quickly to bend those twigs.Meanwhile, Fiona noticed it as well, and pain flashed through her eyes, but she turned away. “Hurry. Don’t let anything happen to Miss Alston.”“Okay.” Before he followed Amelie off the cliff, he shot Fiona one last look.They heard a loud wail from below shortly after reaching the cliff’s edge. Amelie’s heart raced when she realized Jodie was awake, and she sped up her pace out of concern that Jodie would struggle too hard and drown herself again.When she reached the pond’s edge, she realized Jodie was no longer suspended above it. With a sinking feeling, she hurriedly entered the water.Jodie was a delicate woman born and raised in luxury. After being hung there for so long, she might be hurt after falling into the water due to exhaustion.There was nothing to be seen but the eerie green water, and Amelie’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of the ripples dancing across the surface. There was no time to think as she immediately dived into the water.A hand shot out and stopped her. “Miss Alston isn’t here. She’s over there!”From behind her, Fabian pointed to the shore across the pond.She looked up to find Jodie sobbing hard while sitting on a boulder on the shore. Sitting next to her, although at a distance, was Leo.Jodie had her arms wrapped tightly around her brother while he gently patted her back. The two of them were completely soaked. Evidently, he had jumped into the water to save her.Meanwhile, Blake was standing behind the two of them with pursed lips. Worry tinged his handsome face. His hair stuck to his skin as the water rolled down his cheeks. His clothes were similarly soaked.Then, Amelie and Fabian walked over to the trio.“Are you okay, Miss Alston?” Fabian politely asked.When Jodie heard his voice, she looked up.The moment she laid eyes on Amelie, she pointed an accusing finger in her direction. “Leo, it’s him. What you see before you are the wicked woman who shoved me off the cliff and nearly drowned me.”

Chapter 262
Amelie was rendered speechless. What is going on? I try to save Jodie but end up being accused of attempting to murder her instead.“You must be mistaken, Miss Alston. Miss Foxy wanted to save you. The moment she bumped into us, she immediately asked me to help you,” Fabian politely said, even though he was thoroughly shocked by Jodie’s attitude.However, Jodie scoffed and said, “She’s only acting! I came here with her. If I drown, people will suspect her. That’s why she pretended to look for help.” She then pointed at the rope on the ground. “You see, Leo? My neck was still tied up with that. She knocked me out and tried to hang me. She’s evil!”Then, as if to prove she was telling the truth, she tilted her head to reveal the bruise marks on her neck. Her skin was very fair, and Amelie had struck her with all her strength to knock her out. Hence, her entire neck was covered in a bruise that was very shocking to look at.“You now see Foxy’s true face, Blakey?” Jodie even turned to look at Blake. “She’s an evil woman!”The way she was acting made Amelie burst out, chuckling. At first, I thought she must have misunderstood me, but now I realize it was deliberate. She plans to defame me in the hopes of turning Blake against me.“If that’s what you think, I have nothing to say.” Amelie could not even be bothered to explain what had happened. Then, she coldly shot Jodie a look before swiftly walking away. Moreover, she would never debate with a moron unless she was a moron herself.When Jodie saw her walk away, she assumed Amelie was scared off by the accusations. “See,” she proudly shouted. “Look at her. She’s feeling guilty!”“Why don’t you explain? You’re clearly not that kind of person,” Fabian asked on the way back, confused.She smiled and asked, “Do you think you can wake someone pretending to be asleep? Rather than doing something useless, why not look for the key?”He chuckled and commented, “No wonder you can be an influencer with 100 million fans.” I respect her for her lack of doubt and ability to stay focused on the task, unfazed by distractions.“You’re too kind.” Amelie did not think highly of her, and Elyse was responsible for a large portion of her fan base.“Oh, that’s right. There seems to be hostility between you and Miss Clayton, Miss Foxy.” Fabian could not resist gossiping.At first, he believed, along with the others, that Foxy had feelings for Elyse.What happened since then made it clear that Foxy was only here to cause trouble for Elyse.However, Amelie

merely smirked and did not reply to him.Realizing he was intruding on her privacy, Fabian uneasily said, “I’m sorry.”As the two walked, she asked him where he and Fiona had been. Naturally, he told her everything he knew. She soon realized that the pair had never walked near the ravine, nor did they ever walk to the bottom of the cliff. If they did not go there, then who did?Once Fabian and Fiona walked away, Amelie returned to the spot before the ravine.The footprint on the ground was clearly left behind by a hiking boot. Nevertheless, the members of their group arrived wearing their regular footwear because they had no idea where they were going.So, there was only one possibility that someone had arrived with that type of shoe.With that thought, Amelie’s eyes brightened.Then, Amelie waited a few more minutes to make sure Fabian and Fiona were out of earshot, then she made her way back down the cliff and into the pond. She examined the surrounding area and determined no additional footprints, indicating that the shoes’ owner had stopped walking there. Hence, the key could be hidden near the pond. At that thought, she removed her shoes and lifted every stone she saw near the water. She then noticed someone walking lightly behind her.Startled, Amelie turned around to find a handsome face framed by a fringe looking back at her. “Blakey?” she gasped. “You’re still here.”“You haven’t left, so why would I?” Blake replied with a smile.Unbeknownst to her, he no longer had a blank poker face when talking. His eyes were now filled with a doting adoration for her.“You guessed the key might be here too?” She did not analyze his answer and merely thought he had arrived at the same conclusion she did.In response, Blake’s face stiffened.On the other hand, he didn’t care about the key because Amelie was the only thing on his mind.Not saying a word, he made his way over and kneeled in front of her, utterly oblivious to the stream of water. The next thing she knew, he had wrapped a slender hand around her fair ankle. “No matter how urgent the key is, you can’t ignore your leg.”Amelie looked down at her leg to realize there were gashes on her leg. While the wounds were not deep, there were so many of them that it looked horrifying. Since she was in such a rush when she saw Jodie fall off the cliff, that’s probably when she hurt herself. Even though her leg was injured, she was still preoccupied with finding the key. However, she did not expect Blake to spot such a hidden injury. What an attentive guy he is!When he grabbed her ankle, she staggered to the boulder behind her to sit down. Then, he placed her foot on his knee when a bunch of herbs suddenly appeared in his other hand. She

did not know what kind of herb they were. Later, she observed as he meticulously scraped away the herbs’ thin outer membrane before applying them to her wounds as if they were bandages.While doing so, he gently blew on the herbs. “My grandmother would always use this herb to treat my wounds when I was hurt. I can personally attest to the fact that they work,” he explained gently and warmly.Blake rarely talked about his personal life, so all Amelie knew about him was that he was an orphan. Nonetheless, she did not know that he used to live with his grandmother.His eyes were so soft and peaceful when he mentioned his grandmother. There was a faint smile on his lips.Evidently, those days were highly memorable to him.On the other hand, she grew up with her father. Thus, it was inevitable that his words reminded her of her days with her father. She could not help but lose herself in her memories.Suddenly, Amelie heard a cold voice clearing their throat.Snapping out of her thoughts, she turned at the same time Blake did to find Leo walking over to them with a stern look.The water was still dripping from his dark hair and his clothes. There was a murderous gaze on his stern face. Is it because he believes Jodie’s statement? Is he here to question me without first changing? With that thought, she kept her eyes trained on him.Leo was looking at them as well. However, his gaze was focused on the barefoot being held by Blake instead of her face.She sensed his gaze slowly sharpening like an invisible blade; it was nowhere to be seen but extremely dangerous. Then, she uneasily pulled her foot out of Blake’s grip before standing up.“If you are here about what happened to your sister, I can only say that I am not an idiot who thinks nothing of 100 million fans.” I have nothing further to say. Amelie had expressed her thoughts, and it was not up to her whether or not Leo believed her.When she said that, he swiftly walked over to her.Suddenly, her pupils shrank. What is he going to do? Is he going to hit me?Before she could give another moment’s thought to the situation, he was already standing before her.

“Mr. Alston.” Bloke stood up ond moved to stond in front of Amelie. His goze wos colm os he stored ot Leo.Bloke wos o young, lonky mon. His foir foce mode him look rother meek ond demure. Stonding next to Leo, it wos cleor he looked much weoker. His presence wos not neorly os powerful or dominont os Leo’s.Even so, his foce wos blonk ond colm, os if he hod stepped out of o pointing. There wos o flosh of resolute determinotion in his eyes. He would do his best to protect the people he wished to protect. Bloke’s octions were like o thorn in Leo’s side. Not only did they moke Leo’s eyes burn, but they olso mode him feel like his heort hod been stobbed.Worried thot Bloke would be hurt, Amelie drogged him bock to stond behind her while she told Leo, “Jodie fell on her own. You should osk her if you wont to know why she fell. Logicolly speoking, I wos wolking in front. Even if someone were to foll off the side of the cliff, it should hove been me. However, I sensed someone trying to push me, so I dodged.”She hod not plonned to exploin the situotion, but it would not be good if Bloke wos hurt.“Additionolly, I wos not strong enough to rescue her olone. I hod to knock her out ond rest her heod on some rope to ovoid letting her drown.”Leo could hove remoined colm if Amelie did not tell him the second holf of her explonotion. When she did so, his foce went cold os o terrifying ouro rodioted from him. Then, his hond clenched into fists.He could hove deduced certoin things even if she hod remoined silent. She is so distont ond defiont thot she doesn’t even bother to defend herself when Jodie mokes o folse occusotion. Now, she is exploining everything in stroightforword stotements. Does she believe I om oblivious thot she is octing out of concern for Bloke’s sofety?Meonwhile, Bloke would never hove ollowed Amelie to protect him, so he stepped forword to ottempt to shield her.It wos cleor to Leo thot their octions were blotont public disploys of offection.Soon, his expression grew even colder, ond he obruptly wolked post them without uttering o word. Then, he kneeled down before the boulder Amelie wos sitting on.Amelie ond Bloke silently stored ot him in shock. They exchonged glonces, trying to decipher his intentions, before drowing neorer to see whot Leo wos doing. Then, they wotched os his slender fingers dug through the grovel ot the boulder’s bose before reoching underneoth the rock.Hoving grown up in o forming town, Amelie knew thot rocks with fresh grovel piled up ot their bose
