<b>Chapter </b>745


    Mnie lowered her gaze, her expression unchanged. She did not pay much attention to his words.


    There were a lot of people here. They were all crowded at the door of Vi’s ward, watching themotion. She did not want to stay here any longer, so she tried to walk away.


    However, someone grabbed her wrist gently. She looked up and met Eugene’s dark eyes. There was a faint emotion in his gaze as he said, “It’s raining outside.


    Mnic stopped in her tracks, confused. She looked at Eugene, wanting to ask him what he meant. The sudden and inexplicable change in his attitude confounded her.


    However, before she could say anything, Vi’s mother pushed her way to Eugene’s side, pleading,” Mr. Scott, Vi was good to you when you were together, wasn’t she? Even when she messed upter, she only did it because she was upset with you. You have no idea how depressed she was at home


    while you were arguing…”


    The woman was so focused on pleading for Vi that she did not care about the people she had shoved aside. Mnie stumbled half a step back. If Yvonne had not caught her in time, she would


    have collided with the person beside her.


    Yvonne immediately blew up. “Ma’am, are you blind? You can’t just shove people aside like that! What if anyone gets hurt?! How will youpensate for that?!”


    Vi’s mother paled. She mumbled an apology to Mnie and quickly went back to pestering Eugene


    again.


    Mnie could not be bothered to ask him anything more. She simply left with Yvonne.


    After her figurepletely disappeared around the corner, Eugene silently pulled his gaze back and looked coldly at the middle–aged woman in front of him.


    Vi’s mother’s stuttering voice abruptly cut off. She looked into Eugene’s eyes and opened her


    mouth, but no words came out.


    Mnie and Yvonne did not leave the hospital immediately. It was drizzling outside, and Yvonne was afraid that Mnie would catch a cold, so she called for a cab online.


    In the meantime, she grumbled under her breath. “Now I know where Vi gets her pretentious


    bitchiness from.”


    Vi’s mother put up quite the pity act. Yvonne asked Mnie thoughtfully, “Do you think Eugene will give in?”


    Mnie did <b>not </b>know either way. All she knew was that the cabbie had not arrived even after ten


    minutes.


    Yvonne called the driver impatiently, but he said that he was stuck because of a car crash along the way, so he would not be able to make it after all.

    Yvonne’s car had just been sent for maintenance yesterday. Coincidentally, Xander was meeting a client that day, and Stephen had other matters to deal with. They were all out of options.


    Mnie said, “It’s okay I’ll call another cab.”


    Just then, a familiar face approached them.


    Lee looked at the luggage in Yvonne’s hands and asked Mnie, “Are you leaving the hospital today?


    Yvonne was already in a bad mood. She knew that Lee was Eugene’s secretary, so she could not help but snap, “Well, dub! Do we look like we’re going for a trip?”


    Lee coughed and looked at Mnie awkwardly. “There was a crash on the freeway. You might not be able to get a cab right now.


    Mnie paused. Lee added, “I can send you back. It’s raining again, after all.”


    He paused. “And… your condition right now is rather delicate.”


    Mnie turned him down without a second’s hesitation. Yvonne said coldly, “You’ll send us back? In Eugene’s car? And he’ll magically show up too?”


    Lee wiped the sweat off his brow. “No, Mr. Scott is still recording his statement with the police, so he won’t be leaving for a while. I can send you back first beforeing back to pick him up.


    “I believe he wouldn’t mind either,” Lee added for good measure.
