Melissa said with hesitation, "No, I just don't get my father's permission. I'll explain it to him. Don't
worry, Grandpa."
"That's good. I thought something big happened made them almost mistake you as their daughter."
Since there was nothing important, you should find an opportunity to explain. All parents loved their
children very much. "All right, I'm hiding in the balcony and making a phone call. In order not to let your
father hear me, I'm hanging up."
"Yes." Melissa said goodbye to him and hung up. The more Melissa thought about it, the more
perplexed she wandered if she should go to Grandpa's house to explain. Or wait for a while. But what
about his father's health? The specialist was coming soon. What should she do? With millions of
medical fees to pay, where could she get them?
Facing numerous difficulties, she didn't know what to do. Finally, after thinking for a while, Melissa
decided to go to Grandpa's home and apologize to her father. Anyway, his illness couldn't be delayed.
As soon as Melissa was about to get off, she saw Colin slowly pulled towards her, so she stood still and
watched him get off the car coldly.
Colin asked, "Where are you going?"
Melissa replied coldly, "It's none of your business."
"I know everything about your family including the matter that your father is seriously ill." "I have to
clarify one thing. It's not I who leaked news to your parents."
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you?" Melissa looked at him coldly.
Colin didn't reply, but frowned as if he was also annoyed by it. "I'll look into it. Anyhow, it's not me."
"I don't care anymore." Melissa turned her head away and said coldly, "Because the truth doesn't
matter anymore to me. Even if I know the result, could my parents forgive me?" Can I go back to the
past? "I'm sorry that I don't have time to chat with you. I'm leaving now. You don't have to follow me
anymore!"
"Melissa!" Colin asked, "Without me, where can you collect the huge medical expenses?"
Hearing this, Melissa got angry. It seemed that she could do nothing without him. So she turned around
and said coldly, "Without you, I would have figured out another way. Besides, my father got mad
because of you. I won't ask you for any money even if I die!" Then she walked away without looking
back.
As a result, Colin kicked the rock on the road angrily and cursed, "What the hell does she want?"
Then Melissa took a cab to her grandpa's home. Her grandparents were retired professors from a
university in the city. But they lived in a family residence in the suburb. They played chess or went
shopping with old people or lived a leisurely life.
It was afternoon when Melissa arrived. Many people came and went and some of them knew her. They
greeted her. But Melissa felt embarrassed as if it was too embarrassing to see those people. She
quickly walked to her grandpa's home.
There was a yard outside the courtyard. Melissa called in a loud voice as she knocked on the door,
"Grandpa, Grandpa."
But for a long time, no one opened the door, but there seemed to be someone smashing the cup in the
courtyard. Startled, Melissa stood still and pricked up her ears, but heard nothing. Then she saw her
grandfather open the door with a worried face. Her grandpa said unwillingly, "Melissa, you can leave
now. Your father doesn't want to see you now. It seems that you have really annoyed him this time. You
make him to be so angry. You can come back after your father calms down for a while!"
Melissa grabbed her grandpa's hand and asked, "Did my father say anything to you?"
Her grandpa said, "Anyway, he doesn't want to see you now. He heard you knocked at the door just
now and he had a heart attack again. Your mother helps him to his room and he has a rest now. If you
are worried about him, you'd better not see him now!"
Melissa said, "No, I have already made an appointment in the hospital. There are experts coming from
abroad. I have to take my father to see a doctor. He can't be stalled."
"But what are you going to do with him now?"
"Is my mother in?"
"Even your mother can't see you now. If she sees you, your father will be angrier. Melissa, what did you
do to irritate them thoroughly this time?"
Melissa bowed his head, feeling guilty and painful. She didn't know how to say.
"Well, I'm just saying that there's nothing we can't talk about in a family like this. Your father's temper is
too stubborn. How can he treat his own daughter like this?" Her grandpa sighed and looked the
weather, only to find a strong wind and dark clouds gathering in the distance. It seemed that it was
going to rain. He looked around, but there was no place for her to hide from the rain. He said, "Melissa,
let's go back first. It's going to rain. It's not good for you to stand here!"
But Melissa's grandmother stood behind the door and said, "Why did you let your granddaughter go
back? Here is suburb. It's going to rain. Why don't you let her in? We are a family and we can solve the
problem together."
Hearing his wife's words, her grandfather agreed with her. So he called Melissa in.
But the moment Melissa stepped into the yard, she heard her father's scolding, "Let her go!" Dad,
mom, don't let her in either of you! "If she comes in, I'll kill myself!"
