Chapter 143
There was something off about Viola’s tone when she said that,
After Melanie wiped the blood off her hands, she looked up at them. She glanced at the cotton bud taped onto Viola’s hand and said evenly, “If you had an allergic reaction, you should get some rest.”
Viola gave her a hollow laugh. “I was just showing you some concern, Melanie.”
“Mm–hmm, thanks.” Melanie nodded. “I’m doing just fine.”
There was nothing else Viola could say to that. She could sense that Melanie was rejecting her, so she gritted her teeth and said, “But why are you here in the hospital alone? Shouldn’t your mom be taking care of you?”
Viola pointed to the needle mark on her hand. “I have Eugene with me, but I still feel a bit uncomfortable here. It must be inconvenient for you to come here alone.”
Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered. “I have a friend with me.”
Viola was a little surprised. “You have friends in Hearth City?”
“Yeah.” Melanie nodded and said no more.
How absurd. She had resorted to lying about her nonexistent friends so that Viola would not pity her.
Melanie took a deep breath and turned to leave.
However, Viola stopped her with a bright smile on her face. “In that case, why don’t you and your friend join us for a meal someday?”
She did not believe that Melanie had any friends here. She knew that it was just an excuse.
Viola looked down on her for lying like that.
She deliberately tugged at the corner of Eugene’s shirt and looked up at him. “Eugene, what do you
think?”
Eugene’s sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well–toned arms.
He was carrying a plastic bag that probably held Viola’s pills.
Looking at Melanie with his dark eyes, he said casually, “Sure. that’s a good idea.”
Viola giggled. “Then can you set a time, Melanie?”
