Chapter 131
1/2
Melanie’s lips moved, but she had no idea what to say.
Eugene looked down at her and he grunted. “Don’t overestimate yourself.”
“Eugene?” He had just said this when Viola’s voice was heard coming from behind. She had turned a corner to come over. Her gaze fell onto Melanie as she asked softly, “Melanie, why didn’t you come into the private room? We were all waiting for you.”
The questioning look in her eyes was too obvious, and Melanie pressed her lips. She tried her best to hide her emotions. “I just arrived.”
“I thought you weren’t coming.” When Viola said this, she looked at Eugene again. The questioning look remained in her eyes as she gazed at him.
Melanie knew that Viola was overthinking this again, but she was not in the mood to explain anything. All Melanie said was that she wanted to get her bag from the private room.
Before she left for the private room, Theo came over. He was holding Melanie’s bag in his hand.
He noticed Melanie looking taken aback, and he passed her bag to her. “I’m sorry. I thought you’d forgotten your bag when you left in a hurry, so I thought I’d return it to you.”
Melanie took the bag from him impassively. “Thank you.”
Theo turned to look at Eugene. “Eugene, I think Viola has an allergic reaction. You’d better take her for a check–up at the hospital.”
Viola immediately rolled up her sleeves after Theo mentioned it. There were a few red spots on her arm. Frowning, she complained to Eugene, “I was fine this morning, but for some reason, I started to itch just now.”
“There was nothing special with what we had.” Theo then asked, “Are you allergic to anything?”
“I’m allergic to peanuts,” Viola answered.
Melanie’s eyes twitched. She remembered a dish that was served had peanut butter as an ingredient.
She did not have much of an appetite, but since the dish had been placed in front of her, she had eaten
some.
Theo hit himself on the head as he had just remembered this. He asked Eugene, “Why didn’t you tell me that Viola can’t have peanuts?”
Eugene paused but answered nonchalantly after that, “I didn’t notice you ordering it.”
There was no point in arguing about it any longer. Fortunately, the hospital was not far away from where they were.
Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered gently. Then, she heard him sneering, “Do whatever you want.”
However, for some reason, Viola frowned and looked at her. “Melanie, I think you should visit the hospital too. You don’t look too good.”
