Chapter 789
Melanie was in a mess when she returned to the villa. She was unable to forget the smell of disinfectant at the hospital.
It was disgusting.
She wanted to throw up.
Melanie could not forget the fear she felt there.
She found it difficult to breathe as all these emotions overwhelmed her.
Eugene’s name seemed enlarged on the registration form the nurse at the counter showed her. In the end, everything in front of her turned black.
Next, Melanie heard babies crying and women sobbing.
Melanie woke up from the suffocation. It was still bright outside. She sat leaning against the bed with her mind blank. By the time she snapped out of it, it was already four in the evening.
It was noontime when Xander brought her back. Her mind was in a mess, and she headed upstairs without saying a word. She eventually dozed off in bed.
Melanie massaged her temples and got up to head downstairs.
She was surprised to find Reny and everyone else downstairs. Even Yvonne and Stephen were there.
Everyone looked up when they heard her coming downstairs. Yvonne looked at her, and there was pain in her eyes. “How did this happen? You look even skinnier after the new year.”
Yvonne was not doing so well herself. She had gotten thinner too, and there were dark circles under her eyes.
However, she was so worried about Melanie that she forgot about her own situation.
Stephen spoke up warmly and asked in concern, “Mel, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Xander said that you’ve been in a gloomy mood since this morning.”
Everyone knew about the Down syndrome screening test Melanie had. Melanie and Xander both looked terribly somber when they returned, and no one dared ask any questions.
Melanie froze when she heard Stephen’s words. She had no idea what to say.
However, she quivered slightly at the memory of the hospital.
Yvonne scoffed softly and pulled Melanie down to sit. “I told you that hospital isn’t any good. My aunt went for surgery there. Her appendix had burst, but they insisted it was gastroenteritis.”
“Listen to me, I’ll take you to another hospital tomorrow. I’ll get my cousin to give you a check–up
personally. She’s a gynecologist, and I promise you there won’t be a problem!”
Yvonne said this spiritedly as if this was nothing to be worried about.

Meanwhile, at GT Bar, Simon walled in casually and took a seat at a booth. He flung his car keys onto the table and asked with interest, “Why do you want me to investigate all this? I’m not familiar with hospitals
“If you want to look into them, you should be seeing Stephen York about it. He has more connections in the medical industry than I do.”
Eugene sat in his seat, looking extremely grim.
