She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1124

Daphne's frantic voice snapped him out of his daze.

Meeting her worried gaze, Everett lowered his head, overwhelmed by a sudden surge of guilt.

"No, I'm fine... They ran the tests. It's just some scrapes. Nothing internal."

Hearing that, Daphne let out a massive sigh of relief, clutching her chest.

"Well then, Daphne, you stay here with him. I have a few things to take care of, so I'm going to head out."

With that, Melanie turned to leave.

Daphne opened her mouth, wanting to ask her to stay.

But considering how late it was, keeping Melanie at this rundown hospital didn't feel right.

Melanie definitely had a mountain of work waiting for her tomorrow.

Everett wanted to stop her too.

But given his position, it wasn't his place to speak.

It wasn't that Melanie didn't want to support her friend, but she knew she was just acting as a massive third wheel, intruding on their time together.

That was why she was so quick to exit.

The moment Melanie stepped out into the dreary hospital corridor, she spotted Preston Whitmore.

As always, Preston was dressed immaculately in a dark, tailored suit that commanded attention.

Melanie paused for a second before walking up to him. She clasped her hands behind her back and tilted her head.

"Are you here to pick me up?"

"Yes."

Preston nodded.

"But I never told you I was here."

She hadn't told anyone she was rushing to the hospital with Daphne.

The phone call had been sudden and urgent.

She had already been home from work, and the second she got the call, she grabbed her keys, picked up Daphne, and drove straight here.

"So... you followed me?"

Seeing the slight frown on her face, Preston immediately offered an explanation.

"I just went outside to throw away some documents..."
