    <b>Chapter </b><b>802 </b>


    Moreover, the one who gave in first would undoubtedly have to pay a higher price.


    Eugene could have waited a bit longer. Lee felt it was a pity.


    Mnie could not get out of bed to walk around but could use a wheelchair for a stroll.


    Xander draped a thick nket over her with a worried expression on his forehead. “If you feel cold, we <b>can </b>go back.<b>” </b>


    Mnie shook her head. She had been in the ward for half a month and felt quite bored.


    Tugging at the nket on her legs<b>, </b>she asked Xander, “Did the situation in Oskon City cause you trouble? I guess we’ll <b>have </b>to ask Oliver to make another trip there,”


    Originally<b>, </b>Mnie had scheduled a <b>trip </b>back to Oskon City to handle Redwaves‘ affairs. However, Oliver had to go to her ce <b>due </b>to the <b>car </b>ident.


    Seeing that her nket seemed to slip and considering her bandaged hands, Xander crouched in front of her and adjusted the nket for Mnie.


    Their eyes met, and the distance <b>between </b>them shrunk. Xander’s minty fragrance spread through the air, overpowering the disinfectant smell.


    Mnie’s skin looked somewhat pale under <b>the </b><b>sunlight</b><b>. </b><b>She </b>blinked a couple of times and said softly, “Thank you.”


    Xander grunted in response<b>, </b>gazing gently at Mnie. Suddenly<b>, </b>he smiled and asked, “Why are you thanking me<b>?</b>”


    Mnie’s wounds were healing slower than expected<b>, </b>and her overall health had deteriorated.


    Despite Xander taking various precautions when bringing her <b>out </b>for a stroll in the garden, she still caught a cold.


    <b>Now</b><b>, </b>

    she was required to rest in the ward<b>, </b><b>with </b>Yvonne <b>checking </b><b>on </b>her <b>daily</b>.


    “Xander spoils you, but I won’t. <b>You </b>went out there when your body was still weak. Do you know it’s <b>easier </b><b>to </b>catch a <b>cold </b>in spring<b>?</b>” Yvonne scolded Mnie, then sighed softly.


    She propped her chin up and looked <b>at </b>Mnie<b>, </b>saying, “You’re lucky<b>. </b><b>If </b><b>you </b>had gone for a stroll a dayter<b>, </b>you might’ve encountered that scumbag<b>, </b>Eugene.<b>” </b>


    Unable to hold back her words, Yvonne <b>began </bining about various things.


    Eugene was <b>also </b>hospitalized due <b>to </b><b>a </b>gastric hemorrhage<b>, </b>and he was <b>just </b>downstairs.


    Yvonne cautiously looked at Mnie. <b>“</b>I’m <b>telling </b>you this <b>just </b><b>to </b>remind you not to go downstairs again. You know how shameless he <b>is</b>. If he pesters you again<b>, </b><b>it’d </b><b>be </b><b>bad </b><b>for </b>you.<b>” </b>


    Mnie said<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>I </b>won’t go downstairs anymore.”


    When Yvonne entered the ward<b>, </b>she did not close the door tightly enough. Both of them did <b>not </b>notice <b>a </b>figure that stood frozen at the doorway,


    Yvonne had something to do in the evening, and after she left<b>, </b>a nurse entered the ward to check on


    Mnie.


    Mnie wanted to get a book from the cab to pass her time. However<b>, </b>she found it inconvenient due to the bandages on her hands.


    Frowning, she was about to ring the bell for assistance when someone walked in through the door.


    Eugene handed her the book from <b>the </b>cab without saying a word. There was <b>still </b><b>an </b>intravenous needle attached to the back <b>of </b><b>his </b>hand.


    Mnie looked <b>at </b>the book but did not take it.


    Eugene stared at her, a hint <b>of </b>hesitation shing in his dark eyes. His throat <b>was </b>too dry to speak, but he asked, <b>“</b><b>Is </b>there anything else you need?”


    After a long silence, Mnie said, <b>“</b><b>Get </b>out.”
