Chapter 124
Dylan was waiting for Melanie to give her the money for Peachie’s medical treatment. Melanie felt her temples throb with pain. She rubbed her forehead and was about to get up when Theodore said, “Sit and rest for a while. I’ll take your mother and sister to register.”
Melanie stiffened and tried to refuse him, but before she could even finish, Dylan was already tearfully apologizing to Theodore.
She could only sit back down. The muscles in her face were numb, and she could only look on blankly, feeling only exhaustion.
It was not until she heard a soft sneer beside her that she finally realized that Eugene was still next to her.
Melanie fell silent for a moment and said, “I’ll reimburse your friend for the medical expenses.‘

“What can that little money do?” Eugene did not seem to care, but his indifferent tone made Melanie feel even more uncomfortable. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and stopped talking.
However, Eugene seemed oblivious to her current mood and asked, “Short of money?”
Melanie pinched her palm. “No.”
“Is that so?” Eugene’s tone was casual as he simply changed the topic. Melanie pressed her lips together and kept silent.
Just then, her number was called. She got up and went directly to the examination room. The result of the examination was that Melanie had a slight fever. Improper rest, coupled with anxiety, had caused
her heart rate to accelerate.
When she went back after getting the medicine, only Theodore and Eugene were left.
Seeing her approach, Theodore said, “Your mother has left with your sister. The doctor said it’s nothing serious, just a minor bump on the head. All they need to do is apply some ointment.”
Melanie nodded. “How much did it cost? I’ll reimburse you.”
Head lowered, she added Theodore’s contact, picked up her medicine, and said calmly, “I’ll take my leave now.”
