Chapter 630
Despite his complaints, Eric still agreed to take Melanle to see the man once things here were finished. They went to the laboratory as planned, and Eric suggested grabbing Xander’s material along since they were already there.
As they approached, Melanie instinctively glanced upstairs and saw an elderly lady sitting on the balcony, soaking up the sun.
She paused and asked Eric, “Is that lady our neighbor?”
Eric glanced over and replied, “Oh, that’s Mrs. Lyney. She lives around the corner. Usually, she’s at home alone. Mr. Fuller’s daughter often asks her to help with receiving packages or something.”
The woman had grayish–white hair and appeared to be at least 80 years old. She had a kind face and greeted Eric with a cheerful smile.
Fortunately, the data was downloaded successfully this time. Eric wiped his sweat and said, “I was worried the power might suddenly go out. Let’s go find Mr. Fuller.”
The old lady was still sitting on the balcony when they left. She had a basket of crushed walnuts in her hands and was slowly shelling them.
Melanie paused for a moment. The old woman happened to look up then, her eyes narrowing as she
smiled at Melanie.
On the way downstairs, Eric mentioned that she had fallen last year while coming downstairs and had not fully recovered due to her old age. Now, she had to rely on a cane.
After a busy day, it was almost six o’clock.
Just as Melanie got into the car, her phone rang. It was a call from a food delivery service. “Hello, Miss Smith, Mr. Scott ordered dinner for you. Can we deliver it now?”
She had been so busy all day that she had almost forgotten about it. The old man had mentioned yesterday that he would arrange dinner for her and Eugene.
When she returned to the hotel, there was indeed someone waiting outside her room. The dinner ordered by the old man was sumptuous. The portions were large, and there was even some expensive fare.
It looked like a variety of all the most nourishing foods in the world piled together.
Seeing the tableware set for two, Melanie hesitated for a moment before calling Eugene. It was apparent that the dinner Henry ordered was not intended for her alone.
Eugene picked up the call quickly. He was likely still in his car as there was the faint noise of car horns in the background. Melanie said, “Henry ordered dinner. Can I pack some for you and bring it up?”
Eugene paused for a moment before replying indifferently, “You want me to eat leftovers?”

“It’s not leftovers,” Melanie explained. However, she felt it might indeed be inappropriate,
