Chapter 361
Melanie’s face instantly darkened, and she said in a low voice, “George, what are you doing here?!”
George, who was being held back by the caregiver and doctor, turned his head immediately upon hearing Melanie’s voice.
He had a few wounds on his face, and his murky eyes shone with a glint of cunningness.
Relieved to see Melanie, the caregiver explained, “Miss Smith, I’ve been trying to call you, but you didn’t answer. This person came and said he wanted to go into the ward to see the old man.
“What’s wrong with me checking on him? He’s my father–in–law!” George’s expression was fierce as he raised his voice. Melanie’s eyes turned ice–cold. “George, why did you come to Jepton?”
Her heart was cold. George definitely did not come here just to see her grandfather. “Does Dylan know you’re here?”
“Don’t mention that witch to me!” George spat out harshly. It was already nighttime, and George’s voice echoed loudly through the corridor. 1
There were many patients on this floor, and some of them had already opened their doors. They poked their heads out to see what was going on.
Melanie’s brows furrowed. “Let’s discuss this downstairs.” After saying this, Melanie turned and left. She knew that George had come to find her.
Just when she turned around, she also quickly sent a message to Xander. She did not trust George at all. If conflict were to arise, she would definitely be at a disadvantage alone.
There were only a few people in the hospital at night. Melanie stopped outside the inpatient department lobby. Occasionally, someone would pass by.
George followed her down, dropping the pretense now that there were no outsiders around. He smirked and asked, “So, when will you give me the money?”
Melanie squinted her eyes. “Why should I give you money?”
“Because that witch of a mother of yours is living in my house now, and she has that parasite with her too!” George glared at Melanie.
He licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue, his tone menacing. “I just asked the doctor. The undying old man’s medicine costs ten grand a day. Why waste that money on him? It’s all going up in smoke in the end!”
He revealed his yellowed and blackened teeth as he continued, “You might as well show filial piety to your father by giving this money to me! Your mother is my wife. It stands to reason that you should call me Dad!”
His words were truly nauseating, but Melanie remained composed as she replied, “Was the lesson I gave you last time not enough?”
Theodore and Eugene had reported George and got him arrested the last time in Hearth City.

2/2
George’s eyes turned malicious when that incident was brought up. If it were not for what happened last time, he would not have fallen into such a state now.
If he did not have a criminal record, that group would not have dragged him into trouble. In the end, they all ran, leaving the charges to fall on him. Unfortunately, the second–generation scion he harassed was well–connected. If he did not repay the money, he would be ruined.
Dylan, that foolish woman, and her two useless daughters were just as worthless. Not a penny could be recovered from them.
If he had not gotten a loan out there, he would probably be a wreck by now. The more George thought about it, the more irritated he felt. Memories of those debt collection calls and the daily banging on his door came flooding back.
