Chapter 799
Melanie's voice was light, but it hit Eugene like a ton of bricks.
His pupils constricted, and his expression went blank for a moment. After a
moment, his face was filled with indescribable emotions. He stood frozen to the
ground, looking into Melanie's lifeless eyes. It was as if a blade of ice had lodged
itself into his heart.
It was cold. It was painful.
He slowly began to feel suffocated. His heart felt as if it was being squeezed by a
pair of large hands. Every time he breathed, those hands would squeeze harder
and harder until it hurt so much he could barely stand.
His vision began to blur. All he could see was Melanie's pale face and dead eyes.
Melanie's voice echoed in his head again. His baby was dead.
His baby.
Eugene’s cold and indifferent mask shattered. When he looked at Melanie, there
was only helplessness and panic in his eyes as he realized what he was about to
lose.
“Eugene.” Yvonne's voice broke the silence. Her tone was sarcastic. “Don’t look
like that now. Don’t you have any shame? To get rid of Melanie's baby, your
family even went as far as tampering with the medical report and tricking her into
an abortion.
“So stop pretending you care. You disgust me. You're the worst thing that's ever
happened to Melanie!
Yvonne did not hold back her voice, standing protectively in front of Melanie's
bed like a mother hen.

Eugene looked past her and at Melanie. Her lips were bloodless, and her long
eyelashes drooped, hiding her eyes.
She just sat there, within arms’ reach, but an uncrossable chasm had opened up
between her and
Eugene.
She stayed silent as a grave. Only the corners of her eyes were still wet, her
tears piercing Eugene like
knives.
It was an hour later when Lee finally got Eugene's call.
Eugene was standing under the huge old tree in the hospital yard. For some
reason, Lee felt that his boss seemed different from before.
The bare branches above his head swayed. Even the tiny tender budding leaves
could not lighten his
loneliness.
Melanie stayed in the hospital for three days. Yvonne came by every day.

Liana and the others from the studio dropped by too, but Melanie was not in the
mood to talk.
She daydreamed more often than before. They often caught her staring out of
the window alone.
No one knew what she was thinking. They only watched as she became thinner
day by day, and no one dared to mention the baby in front of her.

Those words sparked another conversation outside the ward. Melanie just
continued to lie in her bed and stare out of the window, as though she had not
heard anything.
The nurse who had just spoken asked her gently, “Do you feel uncomfortable
anywhere?” Melanie retracted her gaze and shook her head gently.
