Chapter 508
When Neil and Ada arrived at the rooftop, Melanie was standing on the edge. She was about to jump off.
After what happened, she just wanted to die!
The doctor and nurses were trying to dissuade her. “Mrs. Remus, your son will be here in a second. Please calm down!” “Mom!”
When Melanie heard Neil's voice, she trembled as she turned around. As Neil and Ada quickly walked toward her, she gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t come over, or I'll jump!”
Neil stopped walking. He looked at her and said, “Please calm down. Think about Evie. If she learns that you committed suicide without seeing her for one last time, she'll be devastated.”
At the mention of Evie, Melanie started to hesitate.
Right then, Ada suddenly said, “Mrs. Remus, | have a few things to tell you.”
Melanie subconsciously clenched her fists and looked at Ada.
When those two men defiled her, it was Ada who rushed in to save her. Although Ada was late, she did not allow Melanie to be hurt further.
Seeing that Melanie had fallen silent, Ada slowly approached her.
Ada finally sighed in relief when she managed to hold her hand. She whispered into Melanie’s ear, “I’ve told Neil and everyone else that | managed to stop those two from doing anything to you. I'll deal with them, so please don’t worry about this.”
Melanie was shocked, but she subconsciously felt relieved.
She had wanted to commit suicide because she thought that everyone knew all the details of her encounter.
“Why should | trust you?”
“Mrs. Remus, | was willing to help Neil, so why would | harm you? It doesn’t matter whether you trust me or not. I’ve always held you in high regard.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
While Melanie hesitated, Neil motioned to his subordinates to slowly close in. “Don’t you want to see Liam punished for his actions?”
Melanie’s eyes shone with hatred, and she held Ada’s hand more tightly.
Of course she did.
She could not wait to kill Liam with her bare hands!
“Let's go back. The most important thing now is for you to get well. I'll make sure those doctors and nurses keep quiet about this. You can rest assured!”
Melanie finally calmed down, and she returned to the ward with Ada.
Ada did not allow Neil to go inside. She stood at the door, and said, “Neil, I'll stay with
your
mother. You should go back to work. I'll take good care of her.”
Neil remained silent for a few seconds and softly said, “Thank you.”
Ada forced a smile. “You don’t have to thank me. I’ve always treated her as family.”
Neil did not know what Ada said to Melanie, but she was no longer as distressed.
He waited outside the ward because he was worried. When Ada stepped out of the ward, he immediately approached her. “How’s my mom now?”
“She doesn’t seem suicidal anymore.”
When Neil heard this, he finally relaxed. He looked at Ada and said, “Thank you.”
Ada looked away and seemed a bit sad.
“Neil, is there such a distance between us now?”

After a while, Neil said, “I’m incredibly thankful for your help, but | have feelings for Silvia. It’s better for us to keep our distance.”
Ada bit her bottom lip, and her eyes were teary. She wore a self-deprecating smile and lowered her gaze. “That's true. I’m not good enough for you anymore.”
Neil frowned, but he did not say anything else. They remained silent for some time before Ada said, “Since there’s nothing else for me to do, I'll head back.”
“lll ask someone to send you home.”
