Chapter <b>240 </b>
If Mnie did not enter the elevator, it would look like she was doing it on purpose.
She pressed her lips and got in.
Mnie leaned against the elevator, and when the doors opened, she walked out without hesitation.
She did not expect to see Dn looking around the moment she walked out of thepany’s door.
Dn was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and her aged face <b>was </b>covered with anxiousness.
Mnie suddenly remembered that Dn had also waited outside LeapCo this way the first time she came to Jepton to see her.
She could not even remember what she felt back then when she saw Dn.
However<b>, </b>it was definitely not what she was currently feeling, which was helplessness and exhaustion.
She did not even have the energy to be mad anymore.
Mnie was so tired. All she wanted was to find a ce to lie down and rest.
However, Dn had already spotted her and came running toward thepany’s entrance.
While she was running, Mnie suddenly realized how skinny she was. Dn’s skin was dark, and her hair was brittle. There was no light in her eyes.
Her memory of Dn as a warm and gentle mother did not match the current Dn at all.
Dn did not notice the daze in Mnie’s eyes. She smiled with slight embarrassment as she came up to Mnie. “Have you gotten off work, Mel? I’m here to pick you up.”
Mnie calmed herself down before saying in a growl, <b>“</b><b>If </b>you want me to take Grandpa, you can forget about it.”

Dn’s expression froze. “I’m his daughter. It’s not wrong for me to visit him.” Mnie looked coldly at her. <b>“</b>I haven’t seen you visit him at all for the past few years. But suddenly, it’s not wrong of you to visit him now that something has happened to George Chapman.”
Dn was blocking her at the door<b>, </b>and more people were walking out as it was after work. Many of them began to quietly watch themotion between them.
Mnie did not want to argue in front of so many people<b>. </b>She paused before saying, “George Chapman is not a good man/You don’t need to sacrifice your dignity like that over a man like him.”
However, her words seemed <b>to </b>provoke something in Dn.
Dn suddenly threw herself at Mnie<b>. </b>Her <b>eyes </b>were red <b>as </b>she <b>cried</b><b>, </b>“I know very well what kind of person he <b>is</b>. <b>He’s </b>not <b>a </b>good man<b>, </b>but at least he won’t <b>sleep </b>around with other women!

“I know you hate me for not taking you with me back then, Mel, but Howard Smith wasn’t a good man. He slept with prostitutes, and those women came knocking on our door to collect debts from us!
“Do you know why he didn’t want you? Because that son of a bitch had a bastard child outside. with another woman!
“He didn’t want you because he thought you were a burden!”
Dn sobbed hysterically, but Mnie stood firm where she was. She did not move and let Dn hug her and cry.
Mnie remembered the day Howard and Mnie got divorced. It was a terrible sight as they had been fighting physically.
However, Mnie had not expected this.
The day he left, Howard had brought her to the theme park for the entire day. Did he have other children then?
He pinched her cheek that day and said to her, “Mel, I’m going somewhere else for work today. I’ll bring fried chicken for you when Ie back.
“You’ll always be my baby, Mel. Even when I’m not with your mother anymore, you’ll always be my little princess.”
Mnie blinked as she suddenly realized something.
She was always the one who was abandoned.
Always.
No one ever wanted her.
