Stephen did not know what else to say when he saw her like this. All he could do was head out to buy her dinner.


    The others did not stay for long before Xander sent them away.


    When her surroundings had quietened down, Mnie sniffed and muttered to herself, “I’m not crying in front of outsiders.”


    Her grandfather had taught her not to cry in front of outsiders since she was young. He wanted her to be strong no matter what


    happened.


    Xander and Stephen returned with a bowl of porridge. Mnie barely managed two bites before she lost her appetite.


    Xander had wanted to stay with her earlier, but Mnie had refused. She shook her head. “I want to be alone with Grandpa. We


    haven''t talked in a long time.”


    At night, the hospital corridor was already quiet, and she was the only one here.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Mnie bent her legs into the chair. She wrapped her arms around them and rested her head on her knees.


    Her mind was nk. She could not think.


    The night was cold, and the sky was empty.


    The Scott family’s vi was in the suburbs, so it looked even more quiet and peaceful at night.


    There was a formal smile on Cedric’s face, but it faded for a moment when he saw Eugene stepping into the house.


    He greeted in a low voice, “This is Ms. Turner. | believe you met her in Prime City before.”


    Peyton had an exquisitely sculpted smile on her face. She nodded demurely. “Yes, we met. He and Evie are quite close.”


    Cedric looked at Eugene. “Really? Why haven''t | heard you mention it before? Ms. Turner only has one daughter. You have to be


    nice to little Evie, you hear me?”


    Eugene’s brow furrowed as his gaze fell on Evelyn Shue.


    Evelyn was dressed in a suit. Her red lips curled up as she greeted Eugene with a smile. “Long time no see.”


    Eugene looked away and turned back to Cedric. “Why on earth did you call me back here?”


    “Do | need a reason to summon you?” His son’s attitude immediately made Cedric’s tone be much harsher, and his sharp


    eyes were filled with a sense of warning.


    He said in a deep voice, “You don’t have much to do these few days, so spend more time with Evie. She’s new to Jepton.”


    Eugene said directly, “I’m very busy at LeapCo. | don’t have time.”


    Cedric red at him as if about to speak, but Peyton cut in instead. “The kids can take care of themselves now. Besides, Evie


    isn''t a child anymore. She doesn’t need a babysitter.”

    She said it casually, but she put the ss in her hand on the marble table with a soft clink. Cedric’s face darkened. Just as he


    was about to speak, Eugene went straight upstairs.


    Ste had not been home muchtely, She was probably hanging out with Ca.


    He went straight back to his room. He rarely stayed here, so there was not much in his room.


    In the meantime, Mnie’s eyes paused, and her gaze suddenly stopped somewhere on the desk.


    Mnie spent the night alone in the hospital. When Xander and the others came over the next morning, she was as white as a


    sheet.


    Reny reached out and touched her hand. She gasped when she realized how cold Mnie’s hand was.


    However, Mnie did not realize that her lips were pale and her eyes was bloodshot.


    Xander frowned and ced his hand on Mnie’s forehead. It was hot to the touch.


    Mnie did not really want to be touched. She dodged backward, but her head was heavy and she felt unwell. She could not


    help but stagger back two steps. Fortunately, someone held her before she fell.


    Xander and the others came with news about Dn and George.


    Faced with the footage from the surveince cameras and the nurse’s usations, George admitted in exasperation that he was


    the one who had unplugged her grandfather’s venttor. Meanwhile, Dn had been watching him from the sidelines and did not


    try to stop him-
