Chapter 750
She no longer had that air of madness and misery. Instead, she seemed more...
peaceful.
It was as though her turbid mind had settled down. She sat quietly in her
wheelchair and looked at Melanie.
Melanie was quiet, too, just looking at Dylan without a word.
After a while, Dylan sighed softly and said in a hoarse voice, “Mel... You hate me,
don’t you?”
Melanie looked at her and did not say anything.
Dylan did not seem to expect an answer, either. She paused and said, “It's only
right that you'd hate me. When I was in the hospital, 1 kept dreaming about you
pestering me for candy when you were younger. You were so cute back then.”
There was a look of nostalgia on her face. “Back then, you were losing your baby
teeth. I didn't allow you to eat any candy, so you used your allowance to buy
some behind my back. You ended up eating an entire packet in one afternoon.”
Tears glistened in Dylan's eyes as she spoke. She reached up to wipe them
away and looked at Melanie again.
Melanie remembered everything she said. In fact, she remembered every
memory from her childhood very clearly.
Despite that, she did not feel moved at all when Dylan brought it up.
She asked Dylan plainly, “What are you getting at?"
Dylan could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, but she did not wail loudly
like before. Instead, she let the tears fall silently.
In her blurry vision, the woman before her slowly overlapped with the little girl
who had snuggled up to her all those years ago.
Dylan's heart ached. She choked and said, “Mel, I owe you too much. I have to
make it up have the chance.

If
“I just hope that you...” Dylan stopped mid—sentence. Her mouth opened and
closed several times, but she did not know what to say.
In the end, Dylan went back to reminiscing about Melanie's childhood. She said
so many things, some of them so long ago that even Melanie could not
remember them.
Finally, just as she was about to leave, Dylan stopped her one last time. This time
her tone was much firmer than before.
She only said one sentence, “Just pretend I'm dead from now on. It must be quite
embarrassing for you to have a mother like me.”

Melanie stopped in her tracks. She glanced back at Dylan before turning around
and walking out.
She did not even hesitate.
By
the time she left, it was almost eleven o'clock. The fog had dissipated as the sun
rose higher, and the temperature had become warmer.
Xander was waiting for her. After she came out, he led her to the car and drove
away without asking anything. “Liana’s booked us a reservation at a restaurant.
Melanie asked, “Didn't she say she was going to Oskon City earlier?”

“It's warmer over there,” Melanie said.
Xander nodded. “We first met there, too. It's a nice place.”
Melanie laughed softly. She looked out the window at the retreating landscape.

They coincidentally bumped into a few familiar faces inside, too.
Melanie saw Simon, Joshua, and a few other people she knew but could not
name.
