Mnie blinked for a moment before looking away.


    Eugene let himself into the room. He studied Mnie’s face for a while before ringing the bell to


    summon the doctor for an examination.


    Mnie had only passed out from exhaustion, so the doctor dered she was otherwise healthy.


    Before he left, however, he could not help but remind her to rest more.


    “Expecting mothers must get plenty of rest. If you copse like this again, the baby might be affected.

    Mnie watched the doctor leave before shifting her gaze to Eugene. “What are you doing here?”


    Eugene paused slightly. The gentle winter sunlight made his gaze look softer than usual. He looked


    down at Mnie and asked her quietly, “Do you feel ufortable anywhere else?”


    “The doctor just said I’m fine,” Mnie replied, her tone direct and sinct. She ignored the way he


    stiffened and continued, “If you have nothing else to say to me, you should leave now. Xander and the


    others will be here soon.”


    Her heart did not waver when she saw Eugene so soon after waking him. She had no intention of


    asking him why he hade to her ward.


    Thewsuit was over, and with it, many things should finallye to an end.


    However, Eugene did not leave. Instead, he looked at Mnie, his tone harder than before. “Can’t you


    tell that I’m worried about you?”


    Mnie raised her gaze, her tone t. “Yes, I can tell. Thank you.


    ”


    Her attitude infuriated Eugene so much that heughed out loud, sneering, “Fine, I’m only here


    because Zara told me to inform you that you have to make another trip to thew firm. Happy now?”


    There were other loose ends to take care of after the case waspleted. Since Mnie had been


    asleep for the past two days, she could not settle things at thew firm.


    She nodded. “I’ll be there.”


    Her tone was still cold, but she was not doing it on purpose. She had just woken up, after all, so she


    was still a little lethargic. Moreover, she did not feel like dealing with Eugene right now.


    Honestly speaking, both Vi and Eugene had caused her no end of grief.


    “Mel, I’m back!” Yvonne opened the door with a takeout bag and stopped in her tracks when she saw


    Eugene. Her lips curled in disdain, “You work fast.‘


    When she sensed Mnie’s gaze on her, she snapped back to her senses and cleared her throat


    awkwardly. “Mr. Scott, could you leave first? Mel just woke up and needs to rest.”

    Eugene gave Mnie a long, hard look, his eyes full of unreadable emotions. When Mnie met his


    gaze, though, he looked away,


    As soon as he left, Yvonne brought Mnie her food with a sigh. “You wouldn’t believe this, but… After


    you passed out the other day, we bumped into him when we brought you to the hospital,”


    Yvonne scowled in the direction of the door, “Vi’s in the first ward down the corridor, and Dn and


    George are in the room opposite hers. Fascinating arrangements, don’t you think? I wouldn’t put it past


    the three of them to strangle one another in their sleep.”


    Mnie had no idea that Vi and the others were here too. Meanwhile, Yvonne told her all the


    gossip she had heard over the past two days,

    Dn and George were at each other’s throats every time they met. As for Vi…


    She had been sent to the hospital after she fainted in the court that day. She was still recuperating in


    the hospital until now.


    Yvonne whispered in a tiny voice, “I heard from the nurse that she seems to have some kind of


    congenital illness, and it’s incurable to boot. Once it acts up, she’ll have to take pills for the rest of her


    life.”


    Mnie listened but did notment. Vi’s illness had nothing to do with her.


    Yvonne continued, “But when we saw him the other day, Eugene was standing at the door to Vi’s


    ward. He’s seriously-”
