She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 278

Dominic was also looking at her, his eyes as cold and still as stagnant water.

Just then, the paramedics finally arrived.

They loaded Lila onto the ambulance, and Dominic got in with them.

“Melanie, do you want to come to the hospital with me?”

By the time Dominic asked the question, Evelyn was already in the ambulance.

“Dominic, she’s the one who hurt Lila! Why are you asking her to come?”

Dominic ignored Evelyn, his eyes fixed solely on Melanie.

They held a mix of hope and guilt.

Melanie glanced at Evelyn, then said to Dominic, “I’d better not. Lila’s mother doesn’t want me there.”

Dominic opened his mouth to say something but didn’t insist. He sat in the ambulance with Evelyn, accompanying Lila to the hospital.

“Lila will be fine…”

At that moment, Bryant stepped forward to stand beside Melanie.

Melanie just smiled without saying a word.

Whether Lila was fine or not, Evelyn’s behavior today had far exceeded her expectations.

No matter what, Lila was Evelyn’s own daughter, yet Evelyn had used Lila’s life as a weapon to attack her.

Though Melanie didn’t like Lila, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for the girl.

“Now we can finally eat in peace.”

Bryant’s words were quite restrained.

What he really wanted to say was that the troublemakers were finally gone.

However, as they resumed their meal, another troublemaker had joined them.

Preston sat next to Melanie, with Bryant across from them. The atmosphere between the two men was as tense as two armies facing off.

“Thank you, Preston. You really helped me out back there.”

As Melanie thanked him, Preston handed her a lychee-flavored soda.

The silent understanding between them was hard for Bryant to swallow.

Although Elina was young, she was very good at reading people.

She could tell that her father liked Melanie a lot.

But it seemed this new handsome man was the one who had truly captured Melanie’s favor.

“Melanie, next Sunday is my birthday. Daddy said he’ll throw a party for me. Can you come celebrate with me? I like you, Melanie. I hope you can come.”

Elina looked at Melanie, blinking her big, watery eyes, her anticipation unmistakable.

Faced with such a sincere, starry-eyed look from a child, Melanie couldn’t bring herself to say no.

“Of course! Elina will be five years old. I wonder what you’ll wish for.”
