She did not answer Viola. She grabbed some tissue to wipe away the small drop of blood.

Viola noticed it and asked, “Were you on an IV drip here?”

“Yes.” Melanie’s voice was still dry. She nodded. “I had a fever.”

Melanie thought Eugene had gotten Viola to come here. She washed her hands and said calmly, ” Eugene is waiting outside for you. I’ll be going back to the hotel.”

However, Viola’s face turned pale. She asked Melanie brusquely, “Is Eugene here too?”

Melanie realized something was wrong. Frowning, she contemplated this before replying, “You should ask him about it yourself.”

Viola was obviously upset, but she refused to let Melanie see through her. She forced a smile at Melanie. “I’ll talk to him about it. I might’ve been drowsy and didn’t really hear him tell me about it.”

Melanie knew Viola was making this up. She nodded, and Viola left after that.

Viola was feeling upset. Eugene had told her that he was not interested in Melanie, yet he kept seeing her privately.

After a while, she was reminded of the rumor she heard when she first joined the company. Everyone was saying that Melanie was the future wife of the boss.

What were Eugene’s true feelings for Melanie?

Viola clutched tightly on the strap of her handbag. She could not allow this. She could not allow anything to happen between Melanie and Eugene,

Melanie remained in a daze inside the bathroom before walking out.

There were two exits to the emergency room. One was connected to the hospital’s lobby, which led right outside. The other required her to circle the open area.

Melanie walked out from the open area, which was nearer to her.

She spotted Eugene the moment she got to the exit.

Melanie paused in her steps but did not see Viola.

Eugene looked up and saw her. He frowned slightly. “What took you so long?”

Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered as she asked him softly, “Where’s Viola? Didn’t she come to see you?”

Eugene’s eyes narrowed. He was about to reply when he heard a pitiful–sounding voice. “Eugene?”

He turned to look and saw Viola standing nearby, looking pale. She was giving him a pitiful look.

Viola had been searching for Eugene in the lobby. She only found out about this exit after inquiring with the security guards.

She walked over to Eugene with a pitiful expression but immediately looked cautious when she spotted Melanie beside him.

Melanie did not want to stay here any longer and wanted to leave first, but Viola suddenly said, ” Melanie, we’re working in the same company, after all. You should’ve come to me for help if you needed any.

“Eugene is a man, after all. He doesn’t know how to take care of people.”

Melanie knew immediately that Viola was marking her territory and warning Melanie not to cross the line.

She looked coolly at Viola and said nothing.

Viola looked a little awkward. She was about to say something else when Melanie’s phone rang.

The call was from Dylan.

Melanie did not want to pick up, but the phone kept ringing.

Viola was initially feeling a little awkward, but when she noticed Melanie’s reaction, she got curious.

She asked, “Why aren’t you picking up the call, Melanie?“.

Melanie darted a look at her and put some distance between them before picking it up.

Dylan did not sound too different than before. She seemed to have forgotten how she had accused and blamed Melanie the day before.

She said, “Mel, I’ve made some food. Come over and have some. I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken that way to you yesterday.”
