Chapter 380
When Melanie came out, Reny was on a call. Seeing her, she said, “Melanie, the boss is at Blue Inc. He
wants us to go there now.”
Before she could finish, Melanie interrupted her, “Something happened to my grandfather. I need to go to the hospital. You drive there, I’ll take a cab.”
Before Reny could even react, Melanie already left, her retreating figure filled with urgency.
LeapCo was located in the technology park. Usually, getting a taxi here would be easy. However, this was not the case at the moment. Perhaps it was because it was not yet the end of the workday. Melanie had waited for quite a while with no taxi in sight.
Just as she was about to use her phone to call for one, a black Maybach stopped in front of her.
The window rolled down, revealing Eugene’s side profile and clear jawline. Resting one hand on the steering wheel, he impatiently said, “Get in.”
Melanie was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on. She opened the car door and got in. Her shoulder was still not entirely recovered, so fastening the seatbelt took her some time.
She heard the light clicking of the man’s tongue from beside her, and in the next moment, his cool fragrance pervaded her senses. Eugene leaned over, took the seatbelt from Melanie’s hand, and
buckled it for her.
By the time Melanie realized what had happened, he had already sat back in his seat as if what just happened was a figment of imagination.
Melanie smiled slightly as she whispered, “Thank you.”
“I just don’t want to waste time.” Eugene’s tone remained unchanged. He had taken off his coat, leaving him in just a shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows.
Melanie inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scar on his forearm and pressed her lips together
slightly.
After a moment, she said again, “You didn’t need to accompany me. I could’ve taken a taxi.”
“Accompany you?” Eugene repeated, his voice pitched high as if he had heard a joke. It then went back to its usual low tone. “Do you think I’m someone who can be threatened by George? That scum,
who does he think he is?”
Melanie had nothing to say when it came to him speaking about George. The man was indeed a
despicable one.
However, what Melanie did not expect to find out upon arriving at the hospital was that not only was George unethical and disgusting, but he was also malicious and sinister. He was worse than an animal.
As she made her way toward her grandfather’s ward, the corridor was a flurry of activity. Many

patients and their families were craning their necks to get a look at what was happening.
Melanie’s expression turned cold. When she reached the door of the ward, she heard George’s voice.” What’s the meaning of this? I am his son–in–law. Why can’t I handle the discharge procedures?
“What a lousy hospital. We’ll just not get treatment here ever again. You’re all just greedy!”
Listening to his rant, Melanie coldly retorted, “What right do you have to handle my grandfather’s discharge? Who do you even think you are?!”
“You wench!” George’s expression turned fierce when he saw Melanie. “I advise you to mind your
own business!”
Melanie looked at the doctor beside her. “Why didn’t you call the police?”
The doctor furrowed his brows. As a family member was trying to discharge the patient, all they could
do as doctors was to offer advice.
Melanie then turned to Dylan. “Are you just going to stand there and let him make a scene? What did my grandfather do to you? Haven’t you harmed him enough already? Are you actually trying to drive
him to his death now?
“Dylan, you’re his daughter, not his enemy! Can’t you spare him? Can’t you spare me?”
The more Melanie spoke, the more intense her tone became. She looked at Dylan standing behind George with a mixture of sorrow and anger.
“Dylan, I owe you nothing. Even though you gave birth to me, the money I’ve given you over these years should be enough to buy off this useless blood relationship.”
However, Dylan just stood behind George, sobbing softly. Panic and confusion intermingled on her
face.
In the end, she could not control herself and fell to her knees. Her head was in her hands as she cried out in pain.
