Chapter 404
Her heart, which had been beating lifelessly, seemed to have been revived. The thrilling experience brought her back to her old self.
Her heart hammered so wildly that even her chest felt the pain.
When the ride stopped, Melanie’s pale face was already flushed.
Yvonne held her knees and asked, “How do you feel now?”
Melanie wiped the tears forced out by the wind as she said, “I want to ride it again.”
Yvonne grinned and said, “Let’s go!”
After the last ride, Yvonne shook her head and said, “I can’t go for another round. I’m going to barf.”
Melanie’s gloominess had faded away, and her eyes were bright. Holding Yvonne’s hand, she said, “Thank you!”
She knew Yvonne wanted to cheer her up by taking her here.
It worked as the trilling experience shattered the sorrow clumped in her.
When the strong wind blew on her face, all the sadness in her as well as the words she wanted to say flowed out along with her tears.
Yvonne hung herself on Melanie, sounding like she was tipsy. “Mel, you’re the second person I’ve sacrificed so much for.”
“Who’s the first?”
“My ex–boyfriend.” Yvonne panted as she continued, “I was young and naïve back then. I went bungee jumping with him. After three times, I felt he was unworthy to make me risk my life for him.”
Melanie laughed upon hearing that. She asked Yvonne, “Why did you come to my place today?”
“Xander was the one who called me as soon as I was back. He’s busy and couldn’t visit you today, so he asked me to do it instead.”
Melanie rubbed her forehead and said, “My bad. I’ve been emotionally down recently and couldn’t work.”
Yvonne did not mind. “It’s not a big deal. Your health is more important.”
Although Yvonne said so, Melanie got to work on time the following day.
When she entered, she happened to see Xander walking out.
Xander froze upon seeing Melanie. His calm eyes reflected Melanie’s figure.
She looked at him as she said, “Please deduct the past few days from my annual leave.”
Reny was the happiest among all to have Melanie back at work.
She held two contract documents. “Melanie, LeapCo has agreed to sign the contract,
and we

have to get the relevant department to sign it too.”
Melanie flipped across the pages of the contract. “Is Viola still in charge of this in LeapCo?”
“No. Lee is back, and he’s in charge now.”
Melanie nodded. “If the time has been arranged, we should get it signed quickly to prevent changes from happening.”
Reny said, “We’ve arranged the time, and it’s today, but…”
She looked at Melanie and hesitated to speak.
Melanie had put on her makeup and was dressed formally. Other than being skinnier, she looked just like before.
Calmly, she said, “You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine.”
She just needed some time to get used to it.
Getting used to losing her grandfather would require a long, long time.
However, there seemed to be people who could adapt quickly.
For example, she saw Evelyn adapting well as Eugene’s fiancée in LeapCo.
