Chapter 301
“The patient experienced convulsions this morning. Please come over to the hospital.”
Dr. Wells’s words snapped Melanie out of her slightly drowsy state.
She quickly asked further about Albert’s condition. After ensuring her grandfather had been rescued,
she quickly washed up and headed to the hospital.
It rained all night yesterday, and the weather outside was slightly cold.
Melanie was rushed to the hospital. Dr. Wells was on duty that day and was still in Albert’s ward.
Melanie looked at the old man who had dozed off in his bed with pursed lips. She looked worried.
After Dr. Wells examined Albert, he beckoned Melanie and the caretaker to follow him. “The patient
suddenly experienced convulsions because he was agitated, and he had choked on something. This is
dangerous, and you must ensure this is the last time it happens.”
The caretaker was afraid Melanie would blame her and quickly explained, “Dr. Wells told me we could
feed the patient some normal food. That’s why I changed his diet and was careful when feeding him.
He was fine last night.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Why did this happen?” Melanie sounded displeased. She was worried sick upon hearing that
something had happened to her grandfather. She had yet to calm herself down.
She had paid for the caretaker to care for Albert, not to let her worsen Albert’s condition.
The caretaker was flustered upon hearing Melanie’s serious tone. If something happened to the patient
under a caretaker’s care, they had to pay compensation and might even be sued.
Few caretakers were willing to take this job as Albert’s condition was bad. After all, if something
happened and the family members were not reasonable enough, they would not be able to defend
themselves.
However, the pay Melanie offered was sky–high and irresistible.
“Albert woke up this morning at 5:00 am, and he said he was hungry. I thought of giving him his
nutrition drink, but he refused and wanted cereal.
“Then, the caretaker next door came to borrow some things. When I was handing her the things, he
started experiencing convulsions.”
Melanie sensed something and looked at the caretaker calmly. “What were you two chatting about just
now?”
“She asked me where Albert’s children were and why they hadn’t visited. I told her his child was busy.”
Melanie knew what caused her grandfather’s convulsions. The caretaker’s unintentional conversation
reminded Albert of Dylan and agitated him.
Before Dr. Wells left, he frowned and said, “Dr. Zepto received a sudden notice at the place where his
academic conference is being held about a volcano phenomenon. He has to delay his trip for about a
week.”

Melanie looked at him.
“If you know any other doctor, you can try contacting them just in case.”
Dr. Wells left after saying that.
Melanie’s heart sank. She could contact no other expert in neurology in Jepton other than Howard.
However, she had to look for Eugene to help her contact Howard.

Before she left, she reminded the caretaker what to be aware of.
She wanted to fire the caretaker, but Albert was already used to the caretaker looking after him.
Moreover, Albert was sensitive, and changing the caretaker might remind him of Dylan.
Melanie arranged everything needed before leaving.
She called Yana, telling her she would be at the office to pick up some of her things.
When she arrived at LeapCo, it was not after working hours yet. Melanie waited at the car park
for Yana.
However, after waiting for a long time, Yana called. “Melanie, we have an important meeting out of the
blue, and I can’t leave. All your things are on your desk. Is it possible for you to come to the office and
get them yourself?”
The secretary’s office was busy, and Yana had to work overtime. Melanie knew it well.
LeapCo’s employees could enter the building using a face recognition system, and the technical
department might not have deleted her information just yet. Melanie entered the building without any
obstruction.
Not many people were in the secretary’s office, and a box was placed on her table. “Melanie?” Viola’s
surprised voice sounded from behind her. Melanie turned around.
