Chapter 309
In the next few days, Melanie was only ever in the hospital, the house in the North district, and the villa.
Xander and the others had been busy. Oliver told Melanie the negotiation attempt with Dreamcatchers was unsuccessful, especially since Dreamcatchers was also looking for cooperation partners.
Melanie wanted to help, but Xander disagreed because he knew she had been busy with Albert’s surgery preparations.
Reny comforted her, saying, “Melanie, don’t worry. It’s just a small matter. The boss can deal with it.”
Melanie knew she could not help much, so she stopped insisting on helping.
When Dr. Wells asked her to go to the hospital, Melanie had just instructed the repairman to fix the water pipe in the house.
It was an old residential area, and the infrastructure there was shabby. Moreover, not many people lived there, and the streetlights in Melanie’s place happened to be malfunctioning. The path was dim.
Melanie went to the relevant department to get the contact number of the person in charge of the area before heading to the hospital.
She went to discuss the details of her grandfather’s surgery. After they agreed on the surgery details, Dr. Wells contacted Howard, and they arranged the meeting on Friday.
When Melanie arrived, Howard was already waiting in the office, and other doctors were also around. Among them were also two of Howard’s students, who flew to Jepton from other
cities.
She adjusted her expression and strode in. “I’m sorry for being late. I was caught in the jam.”
Howard glanced at Melanie coldly. Although he was annoyed, he did not show it.
He said coldly, “The patient’s medical report is out. He’s old, and the blood clot in his brain is blurry…”
Melanie listened quietly. She understood that Howard could not guarantee he could cure
Albert.
He was taking the precautions he could.
With a straight face, she asked, “I know. I just hope you can do your best to cure him.”
“Do I need you to remind me of this?” Howard snapped. “I’ll do whatever I can, but I hope you won’t expect too much. Each surgery has a chance of success, but no one can guarantee the full result of the surgery.”
Actually, it was also a reminder for Melanie to be prepared for the worst.
After all, neurological surgeries were risky, and her grandfather’s condition was complicated.

Besides, he was already old.
Melanie pursed her lips and looked at Howard sincerely. “Thanks a lot, Dr. Hel.”

Howard was startled and said nothing. He beckoned Dr. Wells to have a word with him and told him some of the safety precautions.
When Melanie returned to Albert’s ward, his hospital bed had been raised, and he was sitting up with a pillow behind him. He was listening to an ebook.
Melanie listened in and realized it was a history book.
Melanie was reminded of what Howard had told her. She hid her emotions, covered Albert with a blanket, and talked to him just like usual.
After leaving the hospital, she headed straight to the villa.
She was back early and saw Xander and others in the living room. However, they seemed serious and were discussing something.
Melanie put down her things and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yvonne was an idle wealthy lady and liked to follow Reny and the others around her.
She heard Melanie’s voice and said, “Hey, don’t we have a suitable candidate here?”
