Chapter 478
What she did not notice was after she left, Mason took out his phone, made a call, and calmly said,
“Viola, it’s me-
At the end of the call, Viola’s face turned extremely dark. Yana, who was beside her, was also startled.
“What’s wrong with you?‘
Viola lowered her head. “Sorry, I feel a bit dizzy. Could you help me call Eugene?”
Jepton Hospital was a highly efficient facility, and an hour was all it took for Henry’s test results to be
released. Melanie had initially planned to take him out for a meal and rest before returning, but she
unexpectedly ran into Viola. Behind her was Eugene.
Henry clearly had not expected this, and his expression immediately darkened when he saw the two of
them. Viola was somewhat afraid of him. Her face went pale as she instinctively grabbed Eugene’s

Eugene’s gaze lowered. “You have a headache. Go get yourself checked out first.”
“But I’m scared,” Viola replied as she held onto Eugene’s arm with a genuinely fearful
expression on her face. “You know, my aunt just found out she has a vascular tumor. What if it’s
hereditary? If I‘
Eugene interrupted her, “It won’t happen. Don’t scare yourself.”
They happened to be in Melanie and Henry’s way and were behaving as if they were the only ones
present.
Melanie was keeping her cool, but Henry spoke up sternly, “Eugene, are you deliberately trying to
provoke me?”
Viola’s arms were still wrapped around Eugene’s arm, and when Eugene heard the old man, he replied
in an even tone, “Landon told me this morning that you were coming for a check–up. Since she’s
accompanying you, you can rest assured.”
When he mentioned ‘she‘, he glanced at Melanie.
Her gaze was calm. The old man tapped his cane on the ground and said, “Eugene, listen to what
you’re saying. Mel is such a good girl, and it’s your own fault she doesn’t wish to see you!
Henry’s words made the expression on Viola’s face freeze for a moment. She was surprised that
Eugene’s grandfather could be so biased toward Melanie to the extent of even scolding his own
grandson.
Viola looked up at Melanie, who was looking at Eugene calmly. Even though nothing had been said
between the two, Viola felt there was an unspoken barrier between them.
She pinched herself in the palm, took a few steps back, and collided with the door behind her. Her face
turned pale from the pain. Hearing the sound, both Eugene’s and Melanie’s gazes turned toward her.
Viola fell to the ground while murmuring incoherently, “Eugene, I don’t feel so good.” She looked so

Eugene went over and picked her up before heading toward the emergency room. When he
walked past Henry, he paused for a moment. His dark pupils met Henry’s gaze. “I’ll explain later.”
Henry looked at the pale–faced woman in Eugene’s arms and said nothing, his expression still
displeased.
Eugene carried Viola away, and Melanie remained standing in the same spot, her expression
unchanging. When she noticed Henry’s unhappy expression, she pondered for a moment and
whispered, “The doctor said you should try to remain calm.”
Henry hesitated before looking at Melanie. “I just feel sorry for you.”
Her gaze lowered. “You don’t have to.”
Henry shook his head and sighed, an indecipherable emotion flashing across his such a good child…
Eugene will regret this sooner or later.”
