Chapter <b>256 </b>
Albert had always said he was already old and had to leave this world with dignity.
However, Mnie had just realized she could not ept it readily.
She wanted to be selfish for once.
She wanted to keep her grandfather by her side…
She was not sure there would be anyone in this world who would love her if her grandfather left her. She would not know if she could face this world alone.
Mnie stood outside the hospital for some time before finally getting a packet of cigarettes from the convenience store. She took out a cigarette and lit it with her trembling hands.
She had never smoked before and had no experience in smoking. She failed to aim the lighter at the cigarette.
She squatted outside the convenience store and stubbornly lit the cigarette. It had finally lit up yet was extinguished by a teardrop.
In the end, it finally lit up again, but only half of the cigarette was left.
The following day, Mnie received a call from Ste. Since Eugene started dating Vi, Ste seldom contacted her.
Mnie answered the call and only heard Ste saying, “I want to meet you.‘
)<b>) </b>
It troubled Mnie. “I’m not in a good condition now. Please say whatever you want to say through the phone.”
Ste sneered. “LeapCo has been implicated by you. You should be in a bad condition. Let’s be frank. I don’t want to meet you, but I must settle the house Eugene bought for you.
“Otherwise, others will think the Scott family is charitable and providing shelter for the homeless.”
Ste was still as mean as ever. Mnie felt a headacheing on. She had a sleepless night the day before, and in her dream, her grandfather was being pushed into the operating room while attached to a drip.
She said, “I’ll talk to Eugene about the house.”
“Talk to him? You? What are you going to say? Since you’ve already left LeapCo, you have
nothing to do with Eugene anymore.
“Take whatever we have given you before this as the benefit given to you as an employee of LeapCo. What are you now?”
With a sneer, Ste continued, “I heard you wantedpensation? Mnie, you’re
shameless, indeed. LeapCo’s reputation has been tainted because of you.
“We were kind enough to not ask that you take responsibility for the loss you caused thepany. How dare you ask forpensation instead?”
Ste’s voice was sharp, and Mnie felt it was deafening. She ced the phone on the <b>coffee </b>table.
Before hanging up the call, Ste warned for thest time, <b>“</b>You’d better move out soon. Otherwise, don’t me me for arranging someone to move your things out.”
Mnie didn’t know why Ste was so arrogant. It was as if Mnie had once bullied her.
It was soon silent again after Ste hung up the call. Only after calming herself for some time did Mnie head out.
She did not have the time to care about the videos online. Yana would asionally take screenshots of the LeapCo employees saying nice things about her and send them to her. Her grandfather’s medical report was out today, and it was almost the same as what the doctor had warned her. The best solution was to operate his brain and carry out a bypass surgery after cleaning the blood clot. However, the risk of this surgery was high.
“What will happen if we don’t carry out the surgery on him?” Mnie asked with a shuddering voice.
“The patient might remain in this condition, and there are many uncertainties.”
Mnie’s face turned pale. The doctor wanted tofort her. “Every surgery has its risk, but we’ll try to reduce it. Moreover, two dayster, the famous neurology specialist will being to Jepton.
“If you have any connections, you can get him to do the surgery.”
As for what the doctor said after that, Mnie did not remember a single word of it.
She stayed in the hospital until it was dark before heading home. However, just as she reached home, she saw barricade tape on her door.
Mnie’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly tried her password, but it indicated she had keyed in the wrongbination of numbers.
