It was as though her turbid mind had settled down. She sat quietly in her wheelchair and looked at Melanie.
Melanie was quiet, too, just looking at Dylan without a word.
After a while, Dylan sighed softly and said in a hoarse voice, “Mel... You hate me, don’t you?” Melanie looked at her and did not say anything.
Dylan did not seem to expect an answer, either. She paused and said, “It’s only right that you'd hate me. When | was in the hospital, 1 kept dreaming about you pesteringfor candy when you were younger. You were so cute back then.” There was a look of nostalgia on her face. “Back then, you were losing your baby teeth. | didn’t allow you to eat any candy, so you used your allowance to buy sbehind my back.

In the end, Dylan went back to reminiscing about Melanie's childhood. She said so many things, sof them so long ago that even Melanie could not remember them.
Finally, just as she was about to leave, Dylan stopped her one last time. This ther tone was much firmer than before.
She only said one sentence, “Just pretend I'm dead from now on. It must be quite embarrassing for you to have a mother like me.” Chapter 750 Melanie stopped in her tracks. She glanced back at Dylan before turning around and walking out.
