Chapter 694 - Mellisa's Task

Robert was so angry that he almost beat Sylvia to a pulp.

According to news from the oncology department, the couple will be discharged from the hospital this afternoon.

As for the follow-up treatment, it all depends on Robert and his own arrangements.

After all, as long as they didn't waste the hundred million they received, it would be enough for them not to worry about food and clothing for the next year.

After a long silence, Lilia pulled her gaze from the window, looked at the man and asked, "Did Alfred give them the money?"

This was her suspicion all the time.

Ever since Sylvia held the press conference, people from Jean's side had been watching all of her movements.

Sure enough, the press conference was a hoax and even Sylvia received a large amount of money.

Such greed and easy money perfectly describe Sylvia's actions.

The man took her to sit on the sofa, then he explained in a soft voice, "The money was transferred from a foreign bank, and they protect privacy in this matter. Very strict, but in time, we will find out."

Hearing this, Lilia sneered. "They're smart enough to transfer money from foreign banks. Didn't it say that Albert was Alfred's stepfather? He usually goes abroad a lot, should we try to check Albert's account too?"

The man's eyes showed appreciation, he then stroked her cheek. "Very well, but don't let these things disturb your health. Then, instead of thinking about it too much, we better ask Rini first."

After the reminder, Lilia suddenly patted her forehead, and said dumbfoundedly, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten! Rini must be confused now! I'll send her a message right away."

After some arrangements, the girl sleeping beside Leila was Rini. She stayed in the surgical ward to monitor Leila closely. But Caleb kicked them out of the hospital last night. 

Lilia's original intention was to let Rini closely monitor Leila and Mike's actions.

Even though Mike seems protective and affectionate towards Leila, Lilia still doesn't believe that Mike did it out of his own willingness.

And this arrangement has indeed made a remarkable discovery.

Leila and Bernard are old acquaintances.

The conversation between the two of them at the hospital that day… Even though Rini didn't listen to it, it's clear that Leila and Bernard have a close relationship!

As for how deep their relationship is, it might take some time for them to find out.

... 

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mellisa leaned over from the car after she stopped it on the outskirts of Surabaya.

She stood on the wide street, taking the opportunity to look at the surrounding buildings.

Since the land was under construction, the scenery looked like ruins and the buildings were not congested.

She looked around, and after a few glances, she saw a cafe.

This was the location Mellisa had chosen. Initially, she wanted to choose one in the middle of town, but Mike refused.

Even though he agreed to meet Mellisa alone, he still revealed that he didn't want to go too long or too far.

However, Leila is receiving treatment at a clinic near the demolished residential area.

And the man couldn't leave her alone.

Mellisa fastened her coat and walked across the street to the cafe.

She looked in through the glass doors, seeing Mike sitting by the window and staring at her.

...

Their eyes met, and suddenly she felt very unreal.

The intelligent guy she once knew had turned so strange. And worse yet, she did not know when it started

Mellisa licked her lips, then opened the door and stepped inside.

"Sorry I'm late." 

While seated, she expressed an apology politely. 

Unlike in the past, her politeness created a clear distance from one another.

Mike looked at her and shook his head after a moment, then he said in a low voice, "You're not late."

He was relaxed, but the strangeness was still evident between them.

Mellisa's fingers that were still in her pockets immediately clenched into fists.

Even though she doesn't know what Lilia will do, her job today is to separate Mike from Leila.

Mellisa wrinkled the corner of her dry mouth, joking with a smile. "Even if you are in a hurry, don't you have time for a cup of coffee?"

Mike's eyes shook, but he looked at her calmly.

He could give it a lifetime, but this woman had never needed it all this time.

"I've ordered your favorite coffee latte."

Mellisa was shocked when she heard these words.

She looked into Mike's face, and for a moment she wanted to lift up his collar, asking why he had to choose Leila.

However, she still suppressed all of her emotions and thanked him lightly.

...

Mellisa and Mike are sitting in a cafe, chatting with each other.

Meanwhile, at a clinic on the outskirts of the city, Leila is still in bed and receiving an IV.

She only ate a little during the day then took a nap, but she didn't see Mike when she woke up.

The environment in this place is unfavorable, looking eerie and old.

Except for a few elderly people who occasionally came to ask for a prescription, at other times, she could only see an elderly female doctor watching a TV series.

This clinic is near the demolition site, and since many people have moved due to the demolition, so basically no residents can be seen on weekdays.

Leila looked at the bottle and found that the medicine for the IV was running out. She turned her head and couldn't help but shout at the doctor outside the room. "Doctor, please help me change this."

The TV sound was a little loud and the doctor could not hear her.

Leila is a little worried. Seeing that the drip was running out soon, she couldn't help but get up and wanted to go outside for a new one.

However, before she got up, the small wooden door opened.

A crowd of people came from outside, accompanied by countless flashes of camera lights.

Leila is dumbfounded!

She just sat on the bed, too late to put on her shoes, and was mobbed by many reporters in an instant.

"Leila, your father attended Lilia's interview meeting yesterday, do you have something to say about it?"

"Leila, are you involved in Lilia's trapping case? Is it out of grudge that Lilia has stolen your real parents? Or was it all because of money?"

"Leila, you keep clutching your stomach, are you pregnant again?"

Countless complicated questions were asked without stopping.

Leila wanted to block her face, but it was too late.

The microphones were piled on top of her. And so the small room is overcrowded.

Leila has been struggling with her illness all this time, she hasn't seen her cell phone at all. So she doesn't understand what Robert has done.

She screams, ignores the IV needle in her hand, and starts throwing everything near her bed indiscriminately.

"Go away, all of you! I will not answer any of your questions!"
