Eugene’s footsteps halted as he looked up to give Theodore a casual nce. Theodore was taken aback. “Why are you looking
at me like that?”
“Go back to your ward,” Eugene advised nkly. He looked away after saying that and slowly focused on Mnie. Eyes
flickering slightly, he asked, “Did you arrive today?”
Mnie tightened the grip on her bag at the question. “I arrivedst night.”
Eugene scoffed. “In quite a hurry, aren’t you?”
Mnie lowered her gaze. Steadying her voice, she asked him, “Why are you in Hearth City?”
She looked like she got herself together on the outside, but on the inside, she was a mess. Mnie did
not expect to meet Eugene in Hearth City and certainly had not anticipated him overhearing her conversation with Dn.
She felt like she had beenpletely exposed and was very resistant about it.
Mnie had only ever introduced Eugene to her grandfather, and she rarely mentioned her parents.
When Ste disapproved of Mnie back then, the mostmon excuse she used was that Mnie had a mess of a family
background.
Considering she grew up in an environment like that, she would not have turned out that much better.
“Hmm? Eugene, do you know her?” Mnie’s emotions were a mess. Though Theodore had already sensed that something was
amiss, he took a couple of steps forward and observed Mnie with a curious gaze.
Eugene nodded. “She''s an employee of mine.”
Still gripping the strap of her shoulder bag, Mnie persisted, “Don’t you have urgent matters back in Jepton? Why are you in
Hearth City?”
Herplexion was not great to begin with. She did not wear any makeup today either, and her lips
lacked their usual color.
“Eugene came to see my dad.” Rather than Eugene, it was Theodore who replied to her. He looked at Mnie and smiled
sincerely.
“You''re an employee at LeapCo, eh? You must be frightened to see your boss so suddenly, huh?”
Mnie remained silent but felt her heartbeat quicken as the words she wanted to say got lodged in
her throat.
Suddenly, Dn rushed over with Peachie in her arms. “Mel! Peachie has a big bump on her head. Could she have a
concussion? Let''s go and get her looked over!”
Mnie was already dizzy to begin with, and when she heard Dn’s loud voice ringing in her ears, everything seemed to blur
before her eyes.

Dn noticed her being unresponsive and called her name several times in a row. Mnie felt her head spinning and swayed to
the side.
Biting her lip, she barely stabilized herself before managing to say to Dn in a hoarse voice, “I just transferred the money to
you. Take her to the hospital yourself.”
Dn hesitated before saying, “That was for Peachie’s injection.”
Mnie looked at her, feeling that suffocating sensation returning.
Herplexion was poor to begin with, and she was now swaying on her feet.
Eugene''s gaze remained on Mnie, his brows slightly furrowed. His gaze was so cold that even Theodore next to him felt
uneasy. He assumed that Eugene’s displeasure came from bumping into one of his employees here.
“Go get registered,” said Eugene suddenly. Theodore was about to say to him that this had nothing to do with him when Eugene
added, “Do you need me to carry you there as well, Mnie?”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
Pale-faced, Mnie was about to refuse him when he spoke up sarcastically again, “Everyone in thepany knows you
followed me to Prime City on a business trip. Are you trying to tell everyone with the state you’re in that | mistreated you?”
Feeling utterly exhausted, Mnie shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Eugene lowered his gaze onto her, his tone leaving no room for doubt. “Don’t make me say it a second
time.”
The hospital lobby was crowded. Mnie followed Eugene to register and then waited in the waiting
room.
“Mel...” Dn approached Mnie with Peachie, her gaze hesitating and full of unspoken words. Mnie understood what
Dn wanted to say.
