Chapter 137
Melanie clutched her phone tightly without saying anything. Dylan thought she was not willing to go
over.
She said anxiously, “I really just want to make something nice for you. I know you’re having a hard time at work, and I shouldn’t have said all those things to you yesterday. Please don’t be mad at me, Mel. I’m really sorry.”
Dylan choked back a sob at the end of the sentence.
Melanie closed her eyes and replied numbly, “I’m at the hospital.”
Dylan was taken aback. “Why are you at the hospital? Do you want me to bring some food over to you?”
Her concern sounded sincere. Melanie paused before replying, “I’m fine.”
“Wait for me, Mel. I’ll come to the hospital right now with Peachie,” Dylan said while packing some things to bring over to the hospital. Melanie heard her moving around through the phone.
After that, Viola’s soft voice sounded from behind Melanie. “Can you accompany me to the waiting room, Eugene?”
Melanie’s lashes fluttered as she looked down and heard Dylan hurriedly packing up some things through the phone again. She was silent for a while before saying slowly, “Give me your address. I’ll go to your place.”
Dylan replied, “Oh! Then I’ll wait for you to come over.”
Melanie could tell that Dylan was delighted, but this did not cheer Melanie up at all.
After all, she had no idea where Dylan stayed until she asked for the address.
Melanie hung up. She turned to see Viola holding on to Eugene’s arm and looking at Melanie thoughtfully.
She pretended not to notice Viola’s stare and said impassively, “I’ll be leaving now. I need to attend to
something.”
“Melanie,” Viola called out to her. “Eugene said we should have lunch together.”
She looked at her phone. Dylan had just sent her the address.
Melanie looked up and rejected the offer softly. “Thanks, but you guys should go ahead.”
After that, Melanie looked at Eugene. She was silent for a moment before saying again, “Thank you.”
She was thanking Eugene for accompanying her to the hospital even though she had no idea why he
did it.
Melanie realized this morning while she was on the drip that Eugene had come to see her at midnight

because he had noticed that she was not feeling well.
Her eyes were looking downward as she clutched her fingers gently.

“Don’t overthink this,” Eugene said in a cold and impassive tone. His dark eyes looked at Melanie. ” If anything happened to you, LeapCo can’t afford to take care of those parasites in your home.”
It took only one sentence from him to hurt Melanie.
She looked up at Eugene to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.
Viola blinked and pretended to be angry as she hit Eugene on the arm. “What are you talking about?”
Eugene snorted. “It’s true.”
Melanie stumbled slightly. Eugene’s words humiliated her.
Viola continued putting on a kind face to console her, “We can’t choose our family, Melanie. At least you turned out to be a capable person.”
Melanie saw the pitiful look Viola gave her.
She quivered slightly and could no longer say anything. She felt like she had just been dealt with a hard slap.
Melanie felt naked as the one thing she did not want anyone to know was exposed publicly in front of
everyone.
When Melanie left, Eugene and Viola were already at the hospital’s lobby waiting for Viola’s turn to see the doctor.
