Chapter 408
It was just something that flashed across her mind, and she soon snapped out of it. No matter if it was Viola or Evelyn, they had nothing to do with her.
She was just standing by and watching the show.
After leaving LeapCo, Melanie received a call as soon as she got into a taxi.
Melanie had been receiving calls from unknown numbers, so she declined it subconsciously.
However, her phone rang again. This time, it was from Theodore.
Theodore was only someone she knew but was not familiar with. When she answered, she heard Theodore’s hesitant voice. “Melanie?”
Melanie greeted him. Then, Theodore asked, “You didn’t answer the call from the hospital. Can you come over to Hearth City in the next few days?
“Peachie was sent back the day before. You’re aware of her parents‘ situation, and they won’t be back in a short while. However, the hospital wants a guardian of Peachie to be around. Moreover, she might suffer another leukemia attack again. They only have your phone number, so they have no choice but to reach out to you.”
Melanie realized something seemed off and quickly asked Theodore, “How did you know about Peachie?”
Theodore was taken aback by that question and pondered before saying, “My family owns a charity group, and Peachie is one of the people we’re helping. Moreover, didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on her? By the way, will you be free to come over lately? Peachie needs a guardian.”
Theodore was brushing her off and only reminded her to go to Hearth City again.
Melanie recalled Dylan telling her she did not need any money anymore when Melanie called.
It seemed that Theodore’s charity group was helping Peachie.
However, Theodore was not a friend or relative. His motive was easy to guess.
Melanie rubbed her forehead, feeling her heart sink.
As soon as the contract was signed, Burning Star Studio was busy again preparing for the project.
Even a layman like Melanie was forced to join in. Xander was worried her shoulder might have not healed and only arranged simple stuff for her to do.
However, the job was still complicated.
Yvonne would visit once in a while, saying she was there to check on them.
Reny and she were now friends. She quipped, “Why aren’t you going on blind dates anymore?”
Everyone knew Yvonne was often forced to go on blind dates. She shook her head and put on a sad expression. “If you stop asking me this, we can still be friends.”
Xander interrupted the laughter. “Stephen told me Carlisle is coming back from abroad and

his family has arranged a blind date for him.”
Then, Melanie saw the smile on Yvonne’s face disappear. “What does his blind date have to do with me? Is he going to ask me for advice?”
She hid her emotions well and laughed again though it was just her disguise.
