Chapter 479

The old man’s sigh was left unanswered by Melanie. She took him to a nearby restaurant, had lunch

with him, and then returned to the hospital.

Henry did not eat much for lunch, and he did not seem to be in a good mood either. He wanted to bring

up Eugene several times, but Melanie calmly diverted the conversation each time. The old man

hesitated to speak and ended up not bringing up the topic again.

As Henry’s test results were still back at the hospital, Melanie drove them back after they were done

eating.

They passed the emergency room, where doctors and nurses were bustling around, creating a bit of

noise. Melanie was looking straight ahead while Henry glanced in.

Henry’s results showed that he had no major issues. It was merely a case of him being unaccustomed

to the local environment, combined with poor rest due to jet lag. The doctor advised him to go back,

take strolls, and rest well.

Melanie accepted the prescription from the doctor. “I’ll go get the medicine. Landon, please take Mr.

Henry outside and wait for me.”

Henry barely had any energy and merely nodded before following Landon out.

Melanie had just handed the prescription over to the pharmacy when she heard a soft voice behind her.

“Eugene, it hurts to get blood drawn.”

“It’s just once,” assured a cold and calm voice. It was Eugene.

“But I’m still so scared. You know, I…” Viola’s voice trailed off.

Melanie paused and lowered her gaze. She did not turn around and instead pretended not to have

heard them.

Little did she know, she was easily recognizable from the back. Perhaps, it was more accurate to say

that Viola had been deliberately watching her. She could not stand the fact that Melanie always

seemed to be doing better than her or that she seemed to always look down on her.

Perhaps it was a woman’s intuition, but ever since the encounter at LeapCo, Viola knew at first glance

that she and Melanie just did not fit with one another. She had been subconsciously resisting her.

This was especially true when others praised the relationship between Melanie and Eugene. It made

her even more uncomfortable. Why did some people shine so brightly, as if all the good things in the

world should belong to them?

Now, the radiance that once surrounded Melanie had vanished. Moreover, Melanie was no longer

ahead of her. After all, Viola was Eugene’s girlfriend now.

Viola’s heart stirred. She rubbed Eugene’s arm affectionately before making her way up to Melanie,

saying, “Melanie, what a coincidence.”

Melanie turned around, her gaze falling blankly on Viola’s arm, which had a piece of cotton stuck to it.

Viola’s other hand was firmly grabbing Eugene. Eugene’s dark eyes were cold, and his face showed his

usual indifference.

Melanie’s gaze swept past his face as she said, “Eight dispensary windows and you happen to

be here as well. It’s quite the coincidence.”

Viola frowned, her complexion turning pale. She looked at Melanie and said, “I just wanted to say hello

to you.”

Did she genuinely want to greet Melanie or flaunt her relationship with Eugene? A hint of mockery

flashed in Melanie’s eyes. She tilted her chin up and looked at Viola coldly. “Are we so close that you

felt inclined to come and greet me?”

“I…” Viola struggled to find her words. She then extended her hand, pointing to the spot where she had

gotten her blood drawn. “Melanie, I just came out of the emergency room. The doctor said I should

avoid getting agitated.

“I just wanted to say hello when I saw you. There’s no need for you to treat me so coldly.”
