Mnie felt Timothy’s gaze on her and her body stiffened. Ever since she found out about Timothy’s


    condition, she had tried to avoid him as much as possible.


    Now she wished even more that Timothy had never found out about her. After all, she still had Merry


    with her.


    Fortunately, Timothy did not seem to recognize her.


    He was still casually talking to hispanion. Mnie heaved a sigh of relief. As the ride stopped, she


    picked up Merry and turned to leave.


    As soon as she got up, however, someone pressed down on her shoulder. Timothy’s sinister voice


    sounded in her ear. “I knew that brat was annoying. So she learned it from her mother.”


    He put a lot of pressure on Mnie’s shoulder. She was already half–crouching when she bent to pick


    Merry up, and now she could not straighten up under Timothy’s weight.


    She hid Merry in her arms and tried her best to remain calm as she said, “Are you looking for me, Mr.


    Harmon?”


    “Mr. Harmon?” Timothy smiled nastily. His hand turned to tug at her hair.


    Mnie’s hair was short, so when Timothy yanked at the roots, he also forced her to look up.

    He looked down at her with undisguised malice in his eyes. Mnie’s pupils contracted, and he


    seemed to revel in her fear.


    He sneered and pushed her to the ground, half crouching down in front of her. “What are you afraid of?


    You were a lot more arrogant the other day!”


    There were a few other rich young heirs with Timothy. Mnie did not recognize any of them, probably


    because they were not from Eugene’s circle.


    Timothy was about to say something more, but he ended up being interrupted by his phone. He


    nced at the screen, the anger in his eyes intensifying. Despite that, he answered the call and walked


    briskly away.


    As soon as Timothy left, Mnie returned to the hotel with Merry in her arms.


    It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid. The ruthlessness in Timothy’s eyes just now was


    terrifying.


    She immediately called Yvonne. She had to leave Jepton with Merry ASAP.


    Yvonne was shocked to hear that she had met Timothy. “What an unpleasant coincidence. Why is


    Timothy still in Jepton?”


    “I don’t know.”

    “But you can’t leave now. Don’t you have to take Merry for another checkup? The appointment is right


    around the corner. At most, you can just stay cooped up in the hotel. It’s impossible for Timothy to


    follow you there, right?”


    Mnie fell silent. The problem was that Merry had inherited Eugene’s unique allergy to most drugs.


    Mnie was worried about any unexpectedplications, so she set an appointment for a follow–up


    checkup in the next two days


    Then again, Wonne was right. If she stayed in the hotel, there was no way Timothy could follow her


    there.


    After that incident, Mnie was no longer in the mood to take Merry out for a walk. She could not risk


    another encounter with that fearsome beast,


    She just never expected Eugene to call.


    When she saw his name on her screen, Mnie’s eyebrows twitched slightly. She had the urge to


    reject the call immediately.


    However, the caller kept persisting. Even Merry looked over curiously. Mnie hesitated for a moment


    before finally answering.


    She did not say anything at first, and it was also quiet on the other end. The only sound was Eugene’s


    shallow breathing.


    “Are you still in Jepton?” After a while, Eugene said in a low voice, “Grandpa is in the hospital. He


    wants to see you.”


    Since Merry had to go for a checkup too, Mnie took her to the hospital with her. However, after


    thinking for a long time, she chose not to bring Merry to meet Henry. Instead, she called Yvonne over


    and asked her to help take care of Merry for a while.

    Henry was not getting any younger. This time, he was in the hospital for his high cholesterol and blood


    pressure. He had to stay in the hospital for a few days. When he saw Mnie, he tried to sit up in bed,


    but she stopped him.


    “Good, good. I’m d you’re doing alright.” Henry looked a little wistful Although he did not say so


    directly, Mnie could tell that his concern for her was genuine. “By the way, didn’t you say that you


    have a daughter? Where is she? Why didn’t you bring her here?”
