Chapter <b>479 </b>


    <b>The </b>old man’s sigh was left unanswered <b>by </b>Mnie. She took him to a nearby restaurant, had lunch <b>with </b><b>him</b><b>, </b>and then returned to the hospital.


    Henry did not eat much for lunch, and he did not seem to be in a good mood either. He wanted to bring up Eugene several <b>times</b><b>, </b>but Mnie calmly diverted the conversation each time. The old man hesitated to speak and ended up not bringing up the topic again.


    As Henry’s test results were still back at the hospital, Mnie drove them back after they were done eating.


    They passed the emergency room, where doctors and nurses were bustling around, creating a bit of noise. Mnie was looking straight ahead while Henry nced in.


    Henry’s results showed that he had no major issues. It was merely <b>a </b>case of him being unustomed to the local environment,bined with poor rest due to jetg. The doctor advised him to go back<b>, </b>take strolls, and rest well.


    Mnie epted the prescription from the doctor. “I’ll go get the medicine. Landon, please take Mr. Henry outside and wait for me.”


    Henry barely had any energy and merely nodded before following Landon out.


    Mnie had just handed the prescription over to the pharmacy when she heard a soft voice behind her. “Eugene, it hurts to get blood drawn.”


    “It’s just once,” assured a cold and calm voice. It was Eugene.


    “But I’m still so scared. You know, I…” Vi’s voice trailed off.


    Mnie paused and lowered her gaze. She did not turn around and instead pretended not to have heard them.


    Little did she know, she was easily recognizable from the back. Perhaps, it was more urate to say that Vi had been deliberately watching her. She could not stand the fact that Mnie always seemed to be doing better than her or that she seemed to always look down on her.


    Perhaps it was a woman’s intuition, but ever since the encounter at LeapCo, Vi knew at first nce that she and Mnie just did not fit with one another. She had been subconsciously resisting her.


    This was especially true when others praised the rtionship between Mnie and Eugene. It made her even more ufortable. Why did some people shine so brightly, as if all the good things in the world should belong to them?


    Now, the radiance that once surrounded Mnie had vanished. Moreover, Mnie was no longer ahead of her. After all, Vi was Eugene’s girlfriend now.


    Vi’s heart stirred. She rubbed Eugene’s arm affectionately before making her way up to Mnie<b>, </b>saying<b>, </b>“Mnie, what <b>a </b>coincidence.”


    Mnie turned around, her gaze falling nkly on Vi’s arm, which had a piece of cotton stuck to it. Vi’s other hand was firmly grabbing Eugene. Eugene’s dark eyes were cold, and his face showed his usual indifference<b>. </b>


    Mnie’s gaze swept past his <b>face </b><b>as </b>she said, “Eight dispensary windows and you happen to


    be here as well. It’s quite the coincidence.”


    Vi frowned, herplexion turning pale. She looked at Mnie and said, “I just wanted to say hello to you.”


    Did she genuinely want to greet Mnie or unt her rtionship with Eugene? A hint of mockery shed in Mnie’s eyes. She tilted her chin up and looked at Vi coldly. “Are we so close that you felt inclined toe and greet me?”


    “I…” Vi struggled to find her words. She then extended her hand, pointing <i>to </i>the spot where she had gotten her blood drawn. “Mnie, I just came out of the emergency room. The doctor said I should avoid getting agitated.


    “I just wanted to say hello when I saw you. There’s no need for you to treat me so coldly.”
