Chapter 395

When Xander burst into the room, Mnie was standing there, her face deathly pale. She was frozen in ce as though she
was still answering the call, but her phone had fallen to the floor.
The phone screen was still lit, and a voice wasing from the speakers.
“Are you Albert Lancaster''s family? Pleasee to Paramount Hospital as soon as possible to take over the deceased’s
remains-”
Xander jerked his head up to look at Mnie, but her face was numb and nk. She felt Xander’s gaze and stared nkly at the
phone on the floor. Then she slowly crouched down, picked up the phone, and asked in a trembling voice, “Did you call the
wrong number? When | went to the hospital yesterday, Grandpa was still fine.”
“Are Ms. Mnie Smith? This is the contact number you left at our hospital-”
Mnie had yet to react. She crouched on the ground with her phone in her hand, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Hello? Are you Ms. Mnie-?”
The voice on the phone called her name again, and Mnie slowly came back to her senses. Xander reached out to help her up,
but she swayed on her feet and stood up. Then she walked out of the room as though in a dream.
Mnie’s mind went nk. The voice on the phone kept ying on repeat in her head.
Albert Lancaster? The deceased? His... remains?
...Were they talking about Grandpa?
He was fine yesterday. What were they talking about? What remains?
Mnie went downstairs in a trance. She could not even hear the noises around her until someone grabbed her wrist.
Xander shouted, his voice deep, “Mnie!”
Mnie blinked and muttered, “What''s the matter? | have to go to the hospital now. My
grandfather is waiting for me. Can we talk when |e back? I’m sorry, but | can’t right now...

She was already incoherent.
Xander’s brow furrowed. He grabbed Mnie''s wrist. “You’re not wearing any shoes!”
Not only was she barefoot, but Mnie was also still wearing her lounge clothes. She followed Xander’s gaze to her feet and
nodded woodenly.
Xander’s expression was serious. “I''ll take you to the hospital.”
When Mnie arrived at the hospital, she did not know how she got in. She almost tripped several times along the way. It was all
thanks to Xander that she did not fall on her face.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Her grandfather’s ward was upstairs. He was still there when she went up, but to Mnie’s surprise, George and Dn were
there too.

Mnie seemed to suddenly understand something. She looked at George, who was crouching on the ground, and kicked him
viciously. “Was it you? What did you do, you scumbag?!” George was feeling a little guilty at first, but now he stood up and
shouted, “Hey, my father-in w is dead. What''s wrong with meing to the funeral?!”
“You''re not needed here. Get out, get out!” Mnie closed her eyes. She did not dare to look at the old man lying on the hospital
bed now. She could only vent the fear in her heart by channeling it into anger.
“He can’t leave, Miss Smith. He’s the one who unplugged the patient''s venttor. He can’t leave!” The caregiver''s voice cried out
suddenly, and Mnie froze.
George reacted like a cat whose tail was stomped on. He roared, “You didn’t see me do it! | only came in to visit my father—in—
law!”
George’s loud protests made him look even more guilty. The terrifying thought was magnified in Mnie’s mind. She did not
know where she got the strength from, but she grabbed George by the cor and dragged him out of the ward.
Dn was there too. Mnie’s eyes were filled with a strong killing intent. She stared at Dn, her voice dark and terrifying. “Get
lost! You too!”
“Hmph!” George suddenly gave Mnie a fierce re. He had just been forcefully dragged out by Mnie and felt embarrassed,
so he decided not to stop acting nice.
In any case, Dn was still her biological mother. He did not believe that Mnie would really abandon her like that!
