Chapter 250
“If I give you the money, can you get the hell out of my life?
“I never want to see you again.”
Melanie’s voice was as steady as usual, but only she knew that all the longing for her mother that she had once stored in the deepest corners of her heart had finally been extinguished.
She stared at Dylan in silence, seeing the struggle in her eyes.
Dylan pretended to wipe her tears, saying, “I know I shouldn’t have gone to your company like that, Mel. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
Melanie closed her eyes and said slowly, “Fine. Just go away.”
Dylan hesitated for a moment and did not leave.
Melanie looked at her. Suddenly, Dylan asked guiltily and hesitantly, “Then… When are you going to transfer the money yuan to me?”
How ridiculous.
Melanie looked at Dylan as if she did not know her. She had thought that even if Dylan did not care about her, she would still care about Grandpa.
Now, she realized that both she and her grandfather were probably to Dylan. They had no place in her heart.
Recalling her grandfather’s resentful expression when he looked at Dylan, Melanie paused for a moment. Suddenly, she raised her hand to cover her eyes as she burst out laughing.
She tried to hide the tears leaking out from her palms.
Stupid.
She and her grandfather were both so stupid.
How did things end up like this?
“Melanie,” Yana said hesitantly.
Melanie paused. After a moment of silence, she lowered her hand and looked up at her.
Yana took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her. Her voice was timid as she said, ” Melanie, don’t be sad. Your grandfather is a wonderful person. I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
Dylan had already left, and Yana did not breathe a word about her.
Melanie did not take the tissue. Calming herself, she looked at Yana and managed to say, “Is there something you need from me?”
Yana could not bear to say it. She lowered her eyes and deliberated for a moment before saying, “The talk online is getting a bit too much to handle. The company’s executives want to settle the matter today, but you left halfway through the meeting…”
Although Yana did not finish her sentence, Melanie knew what she meant.
Eugene had probably sent Yana here to fetch her.

Melanie said expressionlessly, “Go back and tell Eugene that I’ll go to the office tomorrow. I’ll give him an answer then.”
The fatigue on Melanie’s face was really worrying. Yana frowned and asked, “Why don’t I take you somewhere to rest first? You can’t go on like this.”
Melanie said nothing, but Yana also knew that she was in no mood to rest.
Yana added, “Actually, maybe you shouldn’t go to the office tomorrow. Mr. Scott isn’t a heartless person, and besides—”
Besides, Mr. Scott was the one who told her to come to the hospital today.
After she had ended the call with Melanie, before she could even understand what was going on, she had heard Mr. Scott say, “Paramount Hospital.”
It was as if he knew exactly where Melanie would be.
Before Yana could mention that to her, Dr. Lawrence ran toward them.
“Miss Smith, your grandfather is awake! The doctor is asking for you.”
When she heard that her grandfather had woken up, Melanie’s expression changed and she ran down the corridor.
In the ward, Albert was lying weakly on the hospital bed. He was covered in tubes. When he saw Melanie enter, his droopy eyelids widened, but he did not have the strength to lift his head.
In the end, all he could do was wriggle his fingers vigorously and stare at Melanie without blinking.
