Chapter 376
“Miss Smith, you’d better come to the hospital right away.”
Melanie’s face immediately darkened. Without saying much to Eugene, she turned around and made to
leave. The moment she had her hand on the door, however, she heard Eugene’s mocking voice come
from behind. “Is this how you apologize?”
Her actions paused for a moment. She then turned back and replied, “I’d explain this to you, but I have
urgent matters to attend to right now.‘

Eugene’s tone was indifferent as he replied, “You seem to have a lot of urgent matters.”
Melanie pressed her lips together and left LeapCo. When she arrived at the hospital, she discovered
how dire the situation actually was.
A caregiver was standing outside her grandfather’s ward, and inside, several doctors surrounded him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDylan and George were sitting on the bench outside the ward. Dylan kept rubbing her hands nervously,
while George had a sinister look on his face.
Although George was seriously injured, it was not fatal. He spent only three or four days in the ICU and
was now fine. Melanie went up to the caregiver and asked sternly, “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know either. I went out to get water, and when I came back, I saw these two people talking to
the patient in the ward. When I managed to chase them out, I noticed that the patient’s oxygen mask
had been pulled aside.
“Now, the doctors are examining him. They say he’s in quite a state at the moment.”
Melanie’s expression sank.
George, who had been keeping an eye on her, shot her a brief fierce look. Melanie’s face was covered
in frost. “Dylan, if you have any humanity left, take him far away!”
George spat on the ground. He had already been informed by several doctors about his loss of
function. He wished he could strangle Melanie right there and then.
Narrowing his eyes at her, he said, “It’s only fair that debts are repaid, and I’ll do it by killing someone
who deserves death! This old man’s daughter owes me money, damn it. And you owe me your life!
Even if God himself came, it’s you people who owe me!”
Finishing with a malicious grin, he deliberately added, “Besides, I came to see how my father–in–law is
doing. Since my father–in–law is dying, as a son–in–law, I should show some filial piety, shouldn’t I?
Otherwise, I won’t even know where to scatter his ashes when he dies!”
George’s voice was loud, and because of the constant in and out of doctors from the ward, the door
was not completely closed. Naturally, his voice reached the inside.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted among the doctors in the ward. Melanie glared at George’s repulsive
face and forcefully suppressed the anger inside. She asked, “What are you two actually planning?”

George was a menacing man to begin with. Now, his eyes were filled with darkness, intimidating
anyone who dared to provoke him. In such a situation, Melanie remained surprisingly calm. She always
stood at a safe distance of several meters away from him.
However, George just stared at her with a sinister smile. Despite trying to remain composed, Melanie
was trembling slightly.
Still pretending to be composed, Melanie took out her phone to call the police. However, George
rushed toward her and forcefully grabbed her phone.
Melanie’s quick thinking was hindered by her injuries, so she failed to retreat. She could only watch
as George approached her The smell of smoke, alcohol, and sweat emanated from him. “You think I’m
finished, huh? Just wait, I’ll kill you sooner or later!” His words were chilling.
“As for that old man, don’t worry, he still has some value. I’ll take good care of him during his last days.
After all, he’s worth 800,000!”
