Chapter <b>122 </b>


    Afraid that Mnie would not believe her, Dn even offered to write up an IOU.


    Mnie sat there motionless, feeling a sudden sense of unfamiliarity with Dn, who was right before her. The mother in her memories was gentle, beautiful, and strong, but the woman in front of her was worn–out and had an air of desperation and calction hung over her.


    She looked at Mnie as if she was herst chance at survival. She said in a trembling voice, “Peachie is your sister too, right?”


    Mnie felt as if a nerve in her brain had been severed. She felt suffocated.


    Suddenly, footsteps approached them, followed by a man’s warm voice. “Eugene, I’m sorry to trouble you toe all this way.”


    Mnie was stunned. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Eugene’s cool and serene voice reply,


    “This ce was on the way for me anyway.”


    Upon turning around, she indeed saw Eugene walking toward her with another man. Eugene seemed to have noticed her and stopped. His eyebrows furrowed slightly before his gazended on Dn,


    who was behind her.


    Mnie suddenly felt exposed, her hands slowly clenching. She heard Dn continue behind her, Mel, your sry is <i>so </i>high. 5,000 dors should be an amount you can spare, right? You can’t watch Peachie go without medicine, can you?”


    Mnie’s words were stuck in her throat when she heard a light scoff from Eugene. Her fists tightened, causing her nails to dig into her palms. She then heard herself say, “I’ll give you the money.


    Dn instantly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Mnie added, “But if you give the money to that man again, I’ll report it to the police.”


    Mnie had initially chosen this quiet spot in the garden to talk with Dn. However, the small space now seemed to amplify her words, making them particrly clear.


    She could feel Eugene’s gaze still on her. Taking a deep breath, Mnie grabbed her bag and stood up. Dn followed suit, asking, “When will you transfer the money?”


    Mnie felt dizzy and breathless. She took a step back, barely stabilizing herself. Then, as if in defiance, she immediately transferred the money to Dn using her phone.


    “Eugene?” came the voice of the man behind her again as he called in a low voice. “How about we have lunch together?”


    Eugene responded with a soft hum and walked ahead.


    Peachie happened to be ying by the flower bed. When she saw Eugene, she instinctively stepped back. However, she did not notice the flower bed behind her that was almost as tall as her, and ended


    up hitting her head against it.


    The loud sound startled everyone present. Dn was the first to react. She pushed Mnie aside, rushing toward Peachie. Mnie stumbled but then regained her bnce.


    Peachie’s bted cry echoed through the space, and Dn immediately embraced her, soothing her with gentle words.


    Mnie watched them, somewhat lost in thought. It turned out that Dn had not lost her tenderness. She had simply given it all to Peachie.


    The suffocating feeling overwhelmed Mnie, making it hard for her to breathe. She observed them silently for a while before turning around to leave.


    Before she could take a step, she heard a teasing voicee from behind her. “Eugene, are you being a big baddie today? Why are you scaring everyone?”
