“If I give you the money, can you get the hell out of my life?


    “I never want to see you again.”


    Mnie’s voice was as steady as usual, but only she knew that all the longing for her mother that she had once stored in the deepest corners of her heart had finally been extinguished.


    She stared at Dn in silence, seeing the struggle in her eyes.


    Dn pretended to wipe her tears, saying, “I know I shouldn’t have gone to yourpany like that, Mel. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”


    Mnie closed her eyes and said slowly, “Fine. Just go away.”


    Dn hesitated for a moment and did not leave.


    Mnie looked at her. Suddenly, Dn asked guiltily and hesitantly, “Then… When are you going to transfer the money yuan to me?”


    How ridiculous.


    Mnie looked at Dn as if she did not know her. She had thought that even if Dn did not care about her, she would still care about Grandpa.


    Now, she realized that both she and her grandfather were probably to Dn. They had no ce in her heart.


    Recalling her grandfather’s resentful expression when he looked at Dn, Mnie paused for a moment. Suddenly, she raised her hand to cover her eyes as she burst outughing.


    She tried to hide the tears leaking out from her palms.


    Stupid.


    She and her grandfather were both so stupid.


    How did things end up like this?


    “Mnie,” Yana said hesitantly.


    Mnie paused. After a moment of silence<b>, </b>she lowered her hand and looked up at her.


    Yana took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her. Her voice was timid as she said, ” Mnie, don’t <b>be </b>sad. Your grandfather is a wonderful person. I’m sure he’ll be fine.”


    Dn had already left, and Yana did not breathe a word about her.


    Mnie did not take the tissue. Calming herself, she looked at Yana and managed to say, “Is there something you need from me?”


    Yana could not bear to say it. She lowered her eyes and deliberated for a moment before saying, “The talk online is getting a bit too much to handle. Thepany’s executives want to settle the matter today, but you left halfway through the meeting…”


    Although Yana did not finish her sentence, Mnie knew what she meant.


    Eugene had probably sent Yana here to fetch her.


    Mnie said expressionlessly, “Go back and tell Eugene that I’ll go to the office tomorrow. I’ll give him an answer then.”


    The fatigue on Mnie’s face was really worrying. Yana frowned and asked, “Why don’t I take you somewhere to rest first? You can’t go on like this.”


    Mnie said nothing, but Yana also knew that she was in no mood to rest.


    Yana added, “Actually, maybe you shouldn’t go to the office tomorrow. Mr. Scott isn’t a heartless person, and besides—”


    Besides, Mr. Scott was the one who told her toe to the hospital today.


    After she had ended the call with Mnie, before she could even understand what was going on, she had heard Mr. Scott say, “Paramount Hospital.”


    It was as if he knew exactly where Mnie would be.


    Before Yana could mention that to her, Dr. Lawrence ran toward them.


    “Miss Smith, your grandfather is awake! The doctor is asking for you.”


    When she heard that her grandfather had woken up, Mnie’s expression changed and she ran down the corridor.


    In the ward, Albert was lying weakly on the hospital bed. He was covered in tubes. When he saw Mnie enter, his droopy eyelids widened, but he did not have the strength to lift his head.


    In the end, all he could do was wriggle his fingers vigorously and stare at Mnie without blinking.
