Chapter 371
One of the police officers wore a serious expression as he looked at Dylan and said, “George is in the hospital, and his emotions suddenly went erratic. The hospital has requested for his family to be
there.”
Dylan froze when she heard George’s name. She immediately shot up to her feet. “What happened to him?” she asked anxiously.
Melanie’s attention was originally on Peachie when Dylan, in a state of panic, grabbed Peachie’s arm and forcibly pulled her over. She did not even notice when the girl’s arm hit the edge of the table.
Melanie’s heart sank. As she looked at Dylan’s frail figure, she found it absurd. This was no longer Dylan. She was clearly just George’s dog. All George needed to do was give an order and she would obediently follow behind him.
Still pulling Peachie, Dylan rushed out. The police officers were left looking at Melanie in a dilemma. One of them then said, “You probably have to go to the hospital as well. George specifically named you and wants to talk to you in person.”
Yvonne replied, “No need. Why should we listen to an attempted murderer’s request? What right does he have? Let’s not go. Melanie, let’s go appeal straight away. We have all the evidence with us. I don’t believe it won’t work.”
The police officers‘ expressions became even more bitter than before. Melanie, who knew Dylan better than anyone, understood that if she did not go to the hospital, Dylan would likely find a way to
make a public spectacle of it.
“You go back first. I’ll go over to the hospital,” she said to Yvonne.
Yvonne frowned but still said she would accompany her.
Melanie initially thought Eugene would leave immediately. She did not expect him to come to the hospital as well. They could already hear George’s furious yelling, accompanied by various vulgar insults, before they even reached the ward.
Naturally, Melanie’s name was included, with occasional insults directed at Dylan as well. The police officers went ahead and opened the door. They gave a quiet warning, “Be mindful of causing a disturbance. Don’t disrupt other patients.”
The police officers stepped away and allowed Melanie a clear view of the scene inside. Dylan was sitting on the floor, completely soaked. There was shattered glass beside her. Peachie was standing in the corner, red–eyed as she bit her lip tightly.
