She took the stew to the kitchen and poured it into a bowl before serving it on the table.
Then, she reminded Eugene. “You can have your dinner now.”
Eugene, who had been scrolling his phone on the sofa, lifted his head upon hearing Melanie’s words.
He headed toward the dining area.
Melanie looked at him and pondered before saying, “You were the one who helped me with my
grandfather’s surgery, weren’t you?”
Eugene stopped scooping his stew and looked at Melanie as he mocked, “Don’t you have other things
to say?”
Melanie moved her fingers and heard herself saying, “No matter what, I have to thank you.‘

“It’s a random call from some stranger.”

Eugene looked at the access card and sneered. However, his sneer soon faded.
Then, his cold voice sounded. “Are you giving me the things you’ve used before?”
He said coldly, “Throw it away if you don’t want it.”
Melanie did not stay there long. However, it was almost midnight when she left.
She did not throw the access card and kept it in her handbag instead.
