Chapter 419

Melanie’s first encounter with Eugene had been quite awkward. Her grandfather’s accident had forced her to spend all her time in the hospital. As a young woman who had just started college, she did not know much about anything.

She was running around in a panic, hoping to bring some justice for her grandfather.
