Chapter <b>805 </b>
“Eugene felt as if those words had crushed his heart. In his deep, dark eyes, emotions surged. His Adam’s apple bobbed.
He was initially on his <b>way </b><b>to </b>apany meeting when he received news that Ste was at the hospital. He rushed over almost immediately<b>, </b>visibly exhausted from several days of continuous work.
Mnie did not look at him. Her gaze shifted toward the window. Although her face showed no expression, her resistance was evident.
Ste’s arrival brought an unpleasant atmosphere. <b>Yvonne</b><b>, </b>unlike Mnie, gritted her teeth and red at Eugene, driving him out.
Xander and Stephen cooperated with the police interrogation.
Mnie stayed in the hospital for two more days before getting discharged. On the day <b>of </b>her discharge<b>, </b>the weather was beautiful. Yvonne brought her <b>a </b>red <b>coat</b><b>, </b>saying<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Wear </b>this to ward off bad luck.”
Mnie had not basked in the sun for a long time. As she walked <b>out </b>of the hospital building, she felt the air was incredibly fresh.
During her admission, her skin had remained sickly pale, but the red coat added a touch of color to her thin and pale <b>face</b><b>. </b>
Xander went to the parking lot to get the <b>car</b><b>, </b>asking her to wait there.
Mnie shook her head. <b>“</b>I’ll wait for you outside<b>. </b><b>I’ve </b>been lying in the hospital for a long time. Walking a little is fine<b>.</b>”
Yvonne apanied her outside. There was a locust tree at the hospital entrance. Its branches were
dry.
A Maybach was parked not far from the tree.
Eugene stood in front of the car, looking in their direction. His <b>deep</b><b>–</b>set eyes looked profound. He walked over.
Just as he took two steps<b>, </b><b>Xander’s </b>car happened to pull out, blocking his line <b>of </b>sight.
Mnie looked up and heard Xander’s <b>voice</b><b>. </b>“<b>Get </b>in the car.
Mnie withdrew her gaze. During her hospital <b>stay</b>, Xander visited her almost every <b>day</b>. However<b>, </b>he also had to manage his studio<b>, </b>making him <b>exceptionally </b>busy.
Yvonne helped put Mnie’s <b>luggage </b>in the <b>car</b>, saying, “Alright, you’re finally discharged. <b>Let’s </b>go back. May everything go smoothly from now on.”
The car drove away<b>, </b>and Yvonne suddenly sighed as she looked out the window. <b>“</b>Why is he here?”
Eugene’s slender figure was clearly visible in the rearview mirror<b>, </b>but his expression couldn’t be <b>discerned</b><b>. </b>
Mnie did not hear what Yvonne said. She lowered her head and looked at her phone.
The investigation into Cedric’s matter was troublesome for the police. People with power and influence were fearless.
However, Mnie did not relent. It <b>was </b><b>just </b>that Stephen <b>and </b>Yvonne could not help much anymore. They were <b>all </b>part <b>of </b>the same circle with some <b>connection </b><b>to </b>the Scott family. They could not offend the Scott family.
Yvonne felt guilty<b>, </b>but Mnie said, “It’s alright. The evidence <b>is </b><b>still </b>being collected, isn’t <b>it</b>?<b>” </b>
Although Mnie did not have a powerful family background like Yvonne and <b>others</b><b>, </b>she had been in the circle <b>for </b>a few years and had <b>some </b>connections.
Otherwise, Ste would not have asked for a private settlement.
A few days after being discharged, Mnie heard Xander talking about the proposal with Oliver through the phone. She proposed to go and handle it herself.
The ne ticket was scheduled for three dayster. Mnie nned to take a day off to return to the old house in the North district. She decided to rent out the house. She was going <b>to </b>Oskon City and would not be back <b>for </b><b>some </b>time<b>. </b>
The rental advertisement was posted yesterday afternoon, and the agency notified her that someone woulde to view the house this morning.
The potential tenants were a young couple working as teachers at a nearby tutoring center. After a brief chat<b>, </b>they signed the contracts, and it was already dark by then.
Mnie tidied up the house for a while <b>before </b>preparing to leave. When she stepped out into the dim light of the streemps, a car parked in front blocked her way.
