Chapter 412
She could not look after Peachie herself and did not want to.
Melanie had made herself clear, and Dr. Leone had nothing much to ask. Theodore hesitated for a while before saying, “About Peachie’s medical fees, the charity fund could come up with part of it.”
He seemed hesitant when he suggested this. Melanie owed Eugene a huge amount of debt. She did not need to insist on paying the fees.
She nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Melanie’s mood was down when she walked out of the hospital. She remembered what Peachie told her. Her expression was gloomy even when she got into Theodore’s car.
The hotel where Viola and Eugene stayed was also in the center of the city. Thus, the restaurant chosen was also nearby.
Just as they arrived, the sky got cloudy, and it seemed like the rain was about to pour. Melanie followed Theodore in and saw Viola leaning against Eugene as she spoke.
Eugene was still cold as ever, yet he nodded in response to what Viola said.
“That’s enough. I’ve been busy all day. Are you asking me to have dinner with you because you want me to watch you lovebirds cuddle?”
Theodore pretended to be displeased. Eugene looked at him and asked lazily, “Is everything settled?”
Theodore did not answer in detail. “I’ll make a call and tell them about it. Melanie’s sister’s condition fulfills the requirements needed. It’s not a difficult matter to settle.”
Eugene said after he finished, “I wasn’t asking about this.”
He asked coldly and with displeasure, “Have you found the things I asked you to find?” Theodore seemed to realize what he was talking about. “It was done a long time ago. We can take them there tomorrow.”
They talked, and Melanie just stood aside with her lips pursed.
She had been in a daze because of Peachie’s words and had not realized why Eugene wanted to have dinner with them.
“Melanie, why aren’t you sitting?” Viola smiled as she looked at her. “Eugene wants to have a simple meal with Theodore, and you happen to know Theodore. You can just skip the formalities.”
That implied Eugene had not invited her. She had followed without asking.
Melanie pursed her lips and said, “Excuse me. I have something on later and have to leave.” “Is it because of your sister?” Viola lifted her eyebrow and looked at Melanie pitifully. “I heard Theodore mention it. What a poor little girl. You should accompany her more often.
“After all, her parents are scumbags. I even advised Mrs. Chapman to be more open–minded. I

didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
Melanie froze. She turned around and looked at Viola.
It was not strange for Viola to know about this, but what she said just now was weird.
She had advised Dylan?
Melanie did not know when Viola and Dylan got so close, but it reminded her of the missing details.
Before this, Dylan told her Viola said she could get some compensation if Melanie left LeapCo.
Thus, Dylan made a ruckus at LeapCo.
When they were at Prime City, Melanie also noticed Dylan glancing at Viola subconsciously.
Moreover, when Albert was admitted to the ward, she had bumped into Viola at the hospital.
Melanie’s mind was clear as she stared at the smiling Viola.
