Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 191: Outside the MDH Research Institute, Melany and Colton arrived together.

Colton, weve spent seven days just tracking this place down.

Do you honestly think were going to get the medicine this time? Melany asked, her voice laced with apprehension.

Her face mirrored the concern she hoped would mask her darker thoughts.

The Stevens Groups plagiarism scandal was still a festering wound, and now, Lindy, the pesky woman, had them running errands in Vrining.

Colton replied, We dont have much choice.

Lets give it a shot.

He was far from sure.

He had once hoped to obtain the medication through the underground hacker network, but the so-called holographic game theyd counted on hadnt materialized.

Meanwhile, his mothers worsening migraines were tearing their household apart.

The plate-smashing, the bowl-throwing she had driven away nearly every member of the staff.

Desperation had led them here, clinging to the faint hope that this research institute could offer them salvation.

As they stepped into the lobby, a familiar face caught their attention.

Melanys eyes narrowed, and then, with an overly bright smile, she sauntered over.

Allison, well, isnt this a small world! Fancy meeting you here.

Her gaze then fell on the young girl by Allisons side.
