Chapter 148
Melanie looked at him. “Thanks.”
The food was served soon enough, but the local flavors were a bit too heavy for Melanie’s tastes. She drank some water and then took her bag to go to the washroom,
Before she could leave, though, her phone rang. It was her grandfather calling.
Her breathing quickened. The last time her grandfather called, it was because of her mother.
She took her bag and left the room, answering the call as she headed toward the washroom.
Her grandfather sounded anxious over the phone. “Mel, go check on Peachie. Apparently she fainted at home this afternoon, and now she’s at the hospital.”
Melanie frowned. “Why did she faint all of a sudden? She was perfectly fine when I saw her yesterday.”
“Your mother just called me to borrow more money. I don’t have the details, and your mother can’t make the decisions. She was too afraid to call you, too. Go and check on them!”
The old man was worried. Dylan was his only daughter, after all. Even though she had not been home for years, he was still concerned about her.
“I’ll go check right away. Don’t worry.” Melanie’s expression was much more serious now. After his accident, her grandfather’s health had been in rapid decline. The doctors said he could not afford to get overly emotional.
That was also why Melanie insisted on checking him into Jepton’s sanatorium.
She hurried back to the room, but she did not go inside. Instead, she stood at the door and said, “I’m sorry, I have something urgent to attend to. I have to leave now.”
Eugene raised his brows. “You’re not even going to come up with a new excuse this time?”
Melanie frowned, then turned to Xander instead. “I’ll buy you dinner next time.”
