Mnie clutched her phone tightly without saying anything. Dn 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.”


    Dn choked back a sob at the end of the sentence.


    Mnie closed her eyes and replied numbly, “I’m at the hospital.”


    Dn was taken aback. “Why are you at the hospital? Do you want me to bring some food over to you?”


    Her concern sounded sincere. Mnie paused before replying, “I’m fine.”


    “Wait for me, Mel. I’lle to the hospital right now with Peachie,” Dn said while packing some things to bring over to the hospital. Mnie heard her moving around through the phone.


    After that, Vi’s soft voice sounded from behind Mnie. “Can you apany me to the waiting room<b>, </b>Eugene?”


    Mnie’sshes fluttered as she looked down and heard Dn 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 ce.”


    Dn replied, “Oh! Then I’ll wait for you toe over.”


    Mnie could tell that Dn was delighted, but this did not cheer Mnie up at all.


    After all, she had no idea where Dn stayed until she asked for the address.


    Mnie hung up. She turned to see Vi holding on to Eugene’s arm and looking at Mnie thoughtfully.


    She pretended not to notice Vi’s stare and said impassively, “I’ll be leaving now. I need to attend to


    something.”


    “Mnie,” Vi called out to her. “Eugene said we should have lunch together.”


    She looked at her phone. Dn had just sent her the address.


    Mnie looked up and rejected the offer softly. “Thanks, but you guys should go ahead.”


    After that, Mnie looked at Eugene. She was silent for a moment before saying again, “Thank you.”


    She was thanking Eugene for apanying her to the hospital even though she had no idea why he


    did it.


    Mnie realized this morning while she was on the drip that Eugene hade 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 Mnie. ” 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 Mnie.


    She looked up at Eugene to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.


    Vi blinked and pretended to be angry as she hit Eugene on the arm. “What are you talking about?”


    Eugene snorted. “It’s true.”


    Mnie stumbled slightly. Eugene’s words humiliated her.


    Vi continued putting on a kind face to console her, “We can’t choose our family, Mnie. At least you turned out to be a capable person.”


    Mnie saw the pitiful look Vi gave her.


    She quivered slightly and could no longer say anything. She felt like she had just been dealt with a hard p.


    Mnie felt naked as the one thing she did not want anyone to know was exposed publicly in front of


    everyone.


    When Mnie left, Eugene and Vi were already at the hospital’s lobby waiting for Vi’s turn to see the doctor.
