Mnie looked at Eugene, waiting for his response.


    Eugene’s eyes darkened and then, he looked expressionlessly at Mnie. “You can do whatever you want.”


    His tone was calm and he did not look too interested.


    However, Mnie understood what he was trying to say, If she did let Vi go after the performance assessment, Eugene would never forgive her.


    Mnie closed her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes and nodded. “Alright, I got it.”


    After she said that, she turned to leave the office.


    Vi was still outside. When she did not notice any changes in Mnie’s face, she knew she would be able to get tenure. Therefore, she was not as cautious as before.


    When Mnie walked past her, she stopped slightly and reminded softly, “Remember to submit your tenure application. I won’t entertain anyte submissions.‘


    }<b>) </b>


    Vi’s face was tense. Julie had told her that her tenure application would be processed by the secretary’s office.


    So, she immediately nodded. “Alright, I’ll submit it tomorrow.”


    Mnie did not say anything more and left. She still had to go visit her grandfather in the hospital.


    LeapCo was very efficient at work. When Mnie went back to the secretary’s office, most people were still working overtime.


    Yana knew she had to go to the hospital in the evening, so she said, “Don’t worry. We understand your situation, so you should go.”


    Mnie grunted a reply. When she was about to leave, she remembered something so she told Yana, ” Don’t work toote. You can order coffeeter and I’ll reimburse it.”


    “Why are you so nice to us?” Yana seemed to beining but she had a smile on her face.


    It was already a littlete when she left thepany, so Mnie went directly to the hospital without dy.


    When she arrived at the hospital, her grandfather was eating. He was in much better spirits now. When he saw Mnie, he asked, “Why didn’t youe here earlier? Have you eaten?”


    “I’ll eat at hometer. How do you feel today?” Mnie said as she put down her bag. After that, she went to get the chart on the cab to see how her grandfather was doing today.


    The nurse was a woman in her forties. As she was cleaning up, she said to Mnie, “Don’t worry. When the doctor came for rounds today, he said that your grandfather was recovering well. He said


    that if you want to, he can discharge your grandfather in two days<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Her grandfather did look much better than before. Then, her grandfather sighed and said, “I want to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Staying in the hospital is so boring”


    Mnie did not find anything wrong with him after she read the records of the past two days.


    So, she said, “Alright, I’ll ask the doctor. If there’s no problem, I’ll take you home.”


    <b>“</b>By the way,<i>” </i>Grandpa paused, looked at Mnie, and said hesitantly, “Your mother called me this afternoon and said that George had left.”


    When she suddenly heard Dn and George’s names, Mnie subconsciously frowned.


    “She said she won’t ask you for Peachie’s medical expenses anymore. She said that there is some charity organization that thinks Peachie’s condition meets their standards and can give her free financial aid.”


    “That’s good.” Mnie was silent for a moment before nodding


    When she went to Hearth City, she had some expectations in her heart, but now she was already numb.


    Then, she changed the subject calmly, “Are you taking your medicine on time?”


    Her grandfather realized that she did not want to talk about Dn anymore, so he stopped.


    Mnie stayed in the hospital for a while, then went to the doctor to confirm whether her grandfather could be discharged before leaving.


    Before she left, she told her grandfather, “You should rest more, and if Dn wants anything, tell her toe to me.”
