Melissa didnt say anything in response. She just looked at him in silence.
But after a while, she said to him with a faint smile, It seems youve learned a lot about how to threaten other people, huh? Thomas was stunned to hear this. But already, Melissa had turned around and was going straight towards the elevator.

She agreed to see Weldon only because Thomas had annoyed her so much that she would do anything to make him leave her alone. But that did not mean that she would ever forget what Weldon did to her mother.
Before long, they reached Weldons ward.
It was very quiet inside. Weldon was lying on the bed with his eyes shut. Because of his illness, his face looked haggard and gaunt.
Seated on the chair nearby was a middle-aged man who looked like alawyer.
His head was lowered and he seemed to be writing something on his notebook.
When Weldon heard the sound of someone entering, he opened his eyes and looked up. At the sight of Melissa, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, Finally, youve come to see me.
