Chapter 851
Simon did not like guessing the thoughts of others. He felt it was not the right moment for him to be there.
After entering the elevator, he texted a model he had recently made plans with, saying that his family had recently started arranging blind dates for him. He figured he would not be able to have fun for much longer.
Then, he ran into Yvonne downstairs. She was carrying a child.
Simon’s footsteps halted. Yvonne had previously mentioned that the child was her illegitimate son. He walked toward Yvonne. “Yvonne, when did you start working as a part–time wet nurse?” Yvonne, annoyed at seeing him, said, “None of your business.”
Simon did not want to argue with Yvonne either. He shrugged and prepared to leave, but before doing so, he took his first good glance at Meredith’s face.
He froze, and his brows knitted together.
Seeing him staring at Meredith, Yvonne became wary. “Why are you staring at us like that?”
Simon shifted his gaze away, hiding the shock in his eyes. “Oh, just looking at Melanie’s child. After all, we’re friends. I should at least give the child a gift.”
“We don’t want your dirty gift,” Yvonne grumbled before leaving with Meredith.
Eugene’s wound had torn again, and he had to stay in the hospital for a few more days. It also got infected due to contact with water, and he had a fever.
Melanie called Lee, and she left only after he arrived.
Yvonne found out about this and asked while carrying Meredith, “What will you do? Are you going to leave?”
Melanie had previously said that when Eugene was discharged from the hospital, she would leave Jepton, but Eugene was back in the hospital.
She did not reply, but Yvonne could guess her answer. Melanie had a strong sense of responsibility and would never forget that Eugene got injured for protecting her.
She probably could not bring herself to leave until Eugene fully recovered.
Eugene’s injury once again alarmed Henry. Previously, Eugene did not want to worry his grandfather, so he forbade anyone from telling him. This time, it was impossible to hide it because of Stella’s
tantrum.
Melanie did not know the details, but she heard Henry intervene directly. He transferred all the shares to Eugene and demoted William.
Chapter 851
Melanie had just ended a call with Xander the day Henry called, Xander was returning to Jepton the
day after tomorrow.
Henry said he wanted to meet Melanie, Melanie agreed and went to the hospital to meet him.
However, Yvonne had been busy with work and needed help caring for Meredith. She could only reluctantly bring Meredith to Henry.
Sure enough, Henry’s eyes widened when he saw Meredith. “I–Is she who I think she is?”
Instead of answering, Melanie asked, “You said you wanted to see me. May I know why?”
Henry had originally wanted to talk to Melanie about Eugene’s injury and Timothy, but now, seeing Meredith, he could not remember anything.
He looked at Meredith with excitement and disbelief.
Melanie was prepared when she brought Meredith to meet Henry, so she remained calm.
After Henry’s huge surprise, he fumbled in his bag but could not find anything. He handed a bank
card that Landon had passed over to Meredith. “Good girl, this is my gift for you.”
Melanie wanted to stop him, but Meredith happily played with the bank card.
Henry asked Melanie, “What’s her name?”
“Her name is Meredith, and her nickname is Merry.”
Henry froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. Seeing this, Melanie lowered her eyes, took the bank card from Meredith, and returned it. “Meredith is my daughter.”
She had nothing to do with the Scott family.
