Chapter 549
It took a while for the nausea to dissipate. Melanie looked up, her face pale.
Xander handed her a tissue and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Melanie shook her head and did not say anything. She did not know why, but she suddenly felt uneasy. She put her hand on her chest, trying to still her flustered heart.
After that, she was no longer in the mood for a race.
Seeing her distracted expression, Xander put down the helmet he was holding and said in a low voice, “We can come back another day. You should head back and rest first.”
Melanie raised her hand to touch her forehead and nodded. “Maybe I did catch a cold when the
seasons changed.”
On the way back, Melanie did not feel nauseous anymore. She rested for a while and convinced herself
that she had caught a cold. That was why she felt unwell.
As soon as she got back, she said goodbye to Xander and went back to her room to rest.
Downstairs, Yvonne was sitting in the living room. After Melanie walked past her as if she had not noticed her, she asked Xander, “What’s wrong with her?”
“She isn’t feeling too well,” Xander asked Yvonne. “What brings you here?”
Yvonne pouted. “What do you make it sound like I don’t belong here? You didn’t even tell me that Liana was injured. Xander, am I stranger to you?”
Xander gave her a sideways look.
Yvonne paused for a moment and sighed. “Fine, your father came to visit my father. I heard him say that he really wants you to go home…
“My father and I both think that you should put those things aside for now and at least stake your claim on the family assets back first. Do you really want Xavier to inherit everything? That kid doesn’t
deserve it!”
Honestly, Yvonne would not want to get involved in the Solomons’ mess either if she was in Xander’s shoes. Still, the family fortune was too much for Xander to just give up like that.
