Mel Felt Guilty 

After the nurse left the room, she immediately took her cellphone in her bag. Her face is instantly gloomy.

"Charging faster!" A few minutes later, the cell phone battery is 100% again.

With a sharp look, she stares at her cellphone. "Can you use more energy efficiently? And can you not run out when I need you?" She spills her anger on her cellphone.

Her phone vibrated non-stop after she turned it on.

28 missed calls

49 new emails

881 new messages

She focused on reading some important emails and messages. Moments later, a call came in.

She paused for a moment, wondering whether to pick up the phone call or just let it be.

Her eyes stare at the phone screen; The screen displayed her Grandma's name.

She is in a panic state. Yesterday, before meeting her friends, she promised to spend the night at Grandma's house.

"God, if you exist, please help me to erase my beloved Grandma's memory. This time, she will punish me...!" She prays in her heart.

Her cell phone stopped vibrating. She felt relieved.

But, not long after, her phone vibrated again. And Grandma's name still appears on the screen of her cellphone.

Her heart tightens again.

After several deep breaths, she finally answered the call "G-g-grandma."

"Girl! Where have you been? Since last night Grandma was waiting for you, but you didn't come? Are you okay?" Grandma's voice sounded worried.

"S-s-sorry grandma. I'm fine, Grandma, don't worry."

"Thank goodness you're okay. But, why didn't you come home? Did you forget your way home? Why didn't you tell grandma earlier if you didn't come? Why didn't you answer Grandma's phone? Your cellphone is just an accessory or something?" She sounded furious.

Mel was shocked because this is the first time Grandma had scolded her like this.

In her heart, she still asked God to help her to erase grandma's upsets from last night till today.

"God, I know you're there. Although you have forsaken me so many times, just this time, please help me. If you help me, I will promise to be a good person, help people in need, love animals, and not destroy nature. I promise!"

While she was busy talking to God, Grandma's voice sounded again, "Girl, I call you dozens of times. I was unable to sleep since last night." she took a deep breath. "Oh, Dear, do you want to send your grandmother to heaven right away?"

"N-NO, Grandma!!" She replied regretfully.

"Girl! You have to give me a good reason, or I'm going to be upset all day." Her voice trembled; she still sounds mad.

Mel lowered her head while holding her phone tightly. She felt guilty for making Grandma angry; the only person she didn't want to upset was only her. "G-grandma.. calm down. I am sorry. Don't be angry anymore. Listen to my explanation first, okay?" Mel tried to calm her down.

"Hmm..say it."

Mel is feeling a little relief to hear Grandma's voice a bit softer "Yesterday when I wanted to go home; I suddenly passed out on the road. Fortunately, some nice people have helped me; they have taken me to the hospital."

"W-WHAT? What is the name of the hospital where you admitted? I will go now!" Grandma's voice panicked.

"Grandma, I'm fine now. I'm already in a taxi heading home." She lied.

At that time, she had just left the room without taking her folded coat on the sofa; she only held her bag and cellphone. She sprinted towards the main lobby. She did not care about her body, which was instantly embraced by the cold air as soon as she exits the main door.

She was standing on the side of the road waiting for a taxi with an uneasy feeling in no time.

At the same time,

From across the street, Andrew and Raymond sat in a 24-hour café, enjoying their breakfast.

Andrew saw his little girl running out of the hospital. Her black-ink hair is waving softly in the morning breeze. Her face looked pale, naturally beautiful without using makeup. Her body was tall for a woman and slender.

She was standing on the side of the road as if she was waiting for a taxi.

Even though he had seen her in a fainted state, but this time he was amazed to see her running gracefully. She looks like an angel who doesn't know the way back to heaven. She stood there with a worried expression, occasionally checking her cell phone. Not long after, the taxi stopped in front of her, and she disappeared with the taxi.

After she disappeared from his sight, he glanced at Raymond in front of him; he asked casually, "Have you know her identity?"

"Yes, young master. She's the woman you ordered to investigate."

"That I know!"

"At that time, I couldn't find any info about her." Raymond gave the tablet to Andrew, and he added, "Luckily, we found it Yesterday. Her name is Mel Tan, she's almost 22 years old, she lives in Empire Apartment 29th floor, but she doesn't own the Apartment." Raymond paused for a moment; he observed Andrew's expression.

Andrew glanced sharply at Raymond as if he was asking for a more detailed explanation.

Raymond cleared his throat. "The house she lives in, own by company name, MT Group."

Andrew sat up straight when he listens to what Raymond said about MT Group, his forehead furrowed. 'MT Group? The one we sign a contract with?' he thought.

Raymond was satisfied to see his reaction, "Yes, MT Group, I mean the same as you think. The company that just got the Cloud Island project."

Andrew chuckled.

Raymond added dramatically, "And, what's more interesting... Ms. Mel Tan is the one who came to MT Group for a presentation and signing the contract."

"WHAT? Did she come to the office? So, the person I'm going to meet back then, the little girl I'm looking for?"Andrew couldn't believe what he had just heard. Is this a joke? How come, after looking for her for so long, it turns out all this time she had a connection with him.

Raymond nodded with a smile. The young master's attitude towards this Girl was very different from his attitude towards other women. Usually, he doesn't care about the women around him. He treats women rather coldly.

The entire time he follows his young master, he never saw him with a close female companionship or acquaintances, let alone a girlfriend. This Girl, however, was very entirely different. He seems very interested, nearly obsessive, one might observe. He also shows so much sympathy to her. Last night he even accompanied the Girl in the hospital, something young master has never done before.

'Is it possible that Young Master is having romantic feelings towards Ms. Mel Tan?' Instantly Raymond's eyes widened in disbelief.
