Chapter 248
That was still not enough to vent his rage, however. He raised his walking stick to hit Dylan, but he was so agitated that his body began to tilt.
Melanie quickly ran to support him. He was stunned to see her and stayed silent for a long time.
Melanie did not want to look at Dylan kneeling on the ground anymore. She just held her grandfather and comforted him softly. “Grandpa, I’ll send you back first. If you don’t want to go back to the sanatorium, I’ll bring you to my house, okay?”
She did not mention Dylan or the suffering she had endured. She was just worried about her grandfather’s health.
However, when the old man looked at her, his eyes turned red.
Tears streamed down his face. He held Melanie’s hand and caressed her cheek with his other hand, his heart aching for her. “Mel, my poor Mel, why do you have to suffer like this?”
His words sounded like he was about to cry. The noble old man held Melanie’s hand and wept for her.
Melanie’s eyes pricked with tears as well. Up until now, her grandfather was the only one who cried for her.
No one else said a word about feeling sorry for her.
They all seemed to think that she was made of iron. They thought she had no heart, so she would never feel hurt.
Melanie’s lips were pressed tightly together, as she tried desperately to keep her emotions in check. Her grandfather’s heart ached even more when he saw her like this.
He raised his hand to hit Dylan again. “You idiot, look at what you’ve done! Why are you so heartless? How can you hurt your own daughter like this?! Apologize to Mel! Go to the newspapers and post the truth online. Tell them everything Mel has done for you all these years!”
Dylan was already kneeling on the ground. Although Albert did not use much strength, it still hurt when he hit her body with his walking stick.
Dylan rubbed her injured arm as she got up. She looked upset. “Dad, I’m your daughter too! You blame me for everything, but I just want you to help George! None of this would have happened if you just agreed to help. Why are you blaming me now?
“You’re the one who refused to see me. What else could I do? I had to look for Mel instead!”
Albert was blue in the face as he cursed at Dylan. “You stupid, heartless fool! How did I ever have a daughter like you?! I spent all my life educating people, and I never once did anything to cross my own conscience. And now you want me to beg my student for your good–for- nothing man?
“Why don’t you just drag my coffin to his door?!”
Albert suddenly became agitated, and his face turned abnormally red!

Melanie reacted just in time to catch her grandfather before he collapsed. She looked at Dylan and barked, “Could you just shut up already?!”
Dylan did not notice that something was wrong with her father. She lunged at him again. ” Dad, I’m begging you!”
Albert’s body was already beginning to convulse. Panic flashed across Melanie’s face. She could not care less about Dylan. She helped her grandfather up, but he froze at the door, not moving an inch.
Melanie suppressed the panic in her heart and fumbled for her phone. As soon as she took it out, Yana called her.
Her hand trembled as she answered the call.
Yana started to speak. “Melanie, Mr. Scott is-”
All Yana could hear was Melanie’s anxious and flustered voice saying, “Grandpa, don’t scare me! I’ll send you to the hospital immediately. Hang in there…”
Before Yana could react, Melanie had hung up.
Yana was stunned for a moment. When she looked at the cold–faced man in front of her, she could not help but shiver.
