Chapter <b>385 </b>
Mnie paused in her footsteps and turned to look at Eugene.
She had been traveling to and from the hospital and the vi. She did not go anywhere else. LeapCo’s work had been taken over by Reny and Oliver.
Eugene’s shirt was buttoned to <b>the </b>very <b>top</b><b>, </b>and <b>his </b>sleeves were rolled up. Mnie could see the wound on his arm had now turned a pinkish color.
She looked away after ncing at the wound <b>and </b><b>asked </b>in <b>a </b>calm tone<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Is </b>there anything you need?”
This was the vi district of Jepton<b>, </b>and there were many rich people here. Just two days ago, she had seen Simon when she went out shopping with Reny, but Simon did not <b>see </b>them. That was why Mnie was not surprised <b>to </b><b>see </b>Eugene here.
Eugene did not show much emotion. He looked at Mnie with a slightly deep look in his <b>eyes </b>for a while before suddenly snorting. <b>“</b>Looks like you’ve been living well<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Xander and Reny had been forcing Mnie to <b>get </b>some rest. Yvonne had been delivering food to her as well, which was why Mnie was looking healthier than before.
However, Eugene did not say this with good intentions.
Mnie pressed her lips. “I’ll make <b>sure </b><b>to </b>pay for the medical <b>fees </b>for your wound.”
Eugene raised an eyebrow. There was a slightly sarcastic look in his eyes. “Medical <b>fees</b>?”
It was a cloudy day, and <b>there </b><b>were </b><b>still </b>dark clouds <b>in </b>the sky. The weather was quite humid.
Mnie felt her palm sweat under Eugene’s stare. <b>“</b>Yes. I also apologize for the distress caused to you by Dn Lancaster and George Chapman.”
“What do I get out of your apology?” Eugene nced at her coldly and said in an unfathomable tone<b>, </b>Sometimes, your stupidity astounds me<b>, </b>Mnie Smith.”
After that, Eugene paused and said coldly once more<b>, </b>“You have <b>no </b>idea how stupid you are<b>.</b><b>” </b>
He sounded like he was holding back his anger when he <b>spoke</b><b>, </b>and Mnie had no idea what she did to make him angry.
On second thought, however<b>, </b>Eugene had always <b>been </b>treating <b>her </b>this <b>way</b>.
She lowered her eyes and stood outside for quite a while before entering <b>the </b>vi.
There was a <b>small </b>garden between Vi No. <b>8 </b>and Vi No. 6. When Eugene arrived, Ca came to open the door for him.
(<b>( </b>
Ca smiled the <b>moment </b>she saw him. “What took you so long? It’s been years since we <bst </b>saw each other. I thought you’d forgotten about me.<b>” </b>
Compared to <b>Ste</b><b>, </b>Eugene’s rtionship with Ca was closer. He gave her the present in his hands.
<b>“</b>This is for you.”

Ca pointed into the house with her chin. “Your mother is in there too. Don’t act too sarcastic when you <b>see </b>her.”
“You should’ve ignored her.”
<b>Ca </b>shook her head, and a look <b>of </b>exasperation shed in her eyes. <b>“</b>You’re mother and son. Why would you do this <b>to </b>your rtionship? Besides, your mother has her reasons. She’s very concerned
about <b>you</b>.
“She was just asking me if there are any girls your age I can introduce <b>to </b><b>you</b>.”
Ca paused and leaned into Eugene. She lowered her voice and asked, <b>“</b>Where’s your girlfriend? The one who was really pretty. Are you still together?<b>” </b>
Eugene did not answer. <b>“</b>Why did you ask me here<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“Can’t we invite you over just to <b>see </b><b>you</b>?” A shrill <b>voice </b>was hearding from inside. Ste sneered. <b>“</b>What a busy man you are, Mr. Scott.”
The emotions in Eugene’s eyes disappeared. He looked up at <b>Ste </b>and <b>said </b>nothing.
Thunder began to rumble in <b>the </b>sky around evening time, and the sky became frighteningly dark.
Inside the dpidated motel, Dn was feeding Peachie some oatmeal<b>. </b>George’s raging <b>voice </b>could be clearly hearding from the bathroom.
“Can’t you give me <b>a </b>few more days? I was brought into the police station for interrogation. Where am I supposed to get <b>you </b>the money?!
“How would I know where that stupid woman has gone<b>?!</b>”
His <b>voice </b>sounded even more violent, and he even <b>dealt </b>a hard kick to <b>the </b>bathroom door. Dn and Peachie did not <b>react </b>to him. They seemed to have been <b>used </b><b>to </b><b>this</b><b>. </b>
Three minutes <bter</b><b>, </b>George mmed the bathroom door open and came <b>out </b>cursing. When he saw Dn feeding Peachie<b>, </b>he smacked the bowl <b>to </b>the floor.
