Chapter 29
Melanie paused slightly and frowned.
She subconsciously looked at Eugene, who was not far away. Then she pursed her lips and said, “I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to eat with you.”
Viola bit her lip and said nothing. She sniffed and stood up slowly, walking to Eugene’s side as if she had been bullied.
Eugene glanced at Melanie coldly and lowered his head to check on Viola’s hand.
His voice was low and gentle as he asked Viola, “Are
you hurt?”
Viola shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Let’s go, Eugene. We promised my dad that we’d bring him some chicken soup today.”
After she finished speaking, she held Eugene’s hand and left. She deliberately averted her eyes when passing by Melanie.
Eugene let Viola lead the way. He purposely slowed his pace to suit hers.
Melanie’s grandfather was not seriously injured. An electric bike bumped into him when he was on the way back from school. He had injured his ankle and just needed a few days of rest.
Melanie was worried, so she insisted on admitting him to the hospital. After she retrieved her grandfather’s medical report and went to pay the bill, she happened to meet Eugene at the elevator.
Eugene was there alone, holding a thermos.
Seeing Melanie, he lowered his eyes and asked, “Why are you here?”
Melanie paused slightly. She pressed the elevator button and replied, “My family is in the hospital.”

She always spoke with little emotion.
Eugene sneered and looked at Melanie with irritation.
“Melanie, you’re not that boring lately.”
Melanie did not understand what he meant by that and frowned. Eugene raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, “You have family here, huh?”
Eugene knew about Melanie’s family background. Her parents were divorced. Neither lived in Jepton. Only her grandfather lived in the nursing home behind Paramount Hospital.
