The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melanie lay on the couch, her slender figure resembling that of a cat. Her long black hair scattered behind her, and she seemed to be sleeping uneasily, judging from her furrowed brows.

Eugene looked at her with dark eyes intently. After setting the air conditioning in the room to low, he lowered his gaze and went back inside.

Melanie slept deeply, only to be awakened by the ringing of her phone nearby. She reached out to answer it. “Mel, how are y

you feeling? Has your health improved?” Henry’s concerned voice sounded over the phone. Melanie paused for a moment before softly replying, “I feel much better.”

Her voice was hoarse and nasally. “Did | wake you up?” Henry asked. Melanie replied, “No, I’m just a bit tired.”

“Alright, rest well, then. I've ordered something for you and that stubborn boy to eat. Remember to remind him to eat. Lee told me his wounds got infected.” He sighed, sounding worried.

“Despite being a troublemaker, he’s still my grandson.” After saying a few more things, Henry expressed concern about disturbing Melanie's rest before ending the call.

Melanie sat on the couch for a moment, feeling a slight numbness in her hands and legs due to her sleeping posture. She looked at the blanket covering her, then glanced in the direction of the inner

room.

When Melanie went in with a thermometer and medicine, she thought Eugene might be asleep. To her surprise, he was still working. Setting the blanket aside, she whispered, “Let’s check your

temperature.

Hearing her voice, Eugene’s actions came to a pause. He turned to look at her. “Had enough sleep?” he asked, his voice no longer as hoarse as it had been before.

“Yes, thank you,” Melanie responded faintly. She was referring to the blanket which Eugene had draped over her. The medicine was indeed effective as Eugene’s temperature had dropped from 39 to 37.5 degrees, which relieved Melanie.

Eugene cooperated when she applied the medicine to him. However, there were signs of white pus around the severe injuries that he had dealt with himself yesterday.

Melanie patiently treated him. It was almost 11 at night when she packed up her things to go downstairs. Remembering something, she paused and asked, “Did you find anything about Matthew from Howard’s side?” Chapter 623

Eugene’s brows twitched slightly, his eyes calm and distant. “No.” “There’s no need to check. Matthew erased all traces. He’s very cautious.”

Eugene was not surprised. He seemed to have anticipated this already. After saying that, Melanie. went downstairs and returned to her room to rest.

She had put a lid on her emotions the entire day. Now, she was exhausted. However, the door to her room failed to open after she swiped her card. Despite several attempts, it remained locked.

Her heart suddenly constricted. She looked at both sides of the corridor, but it was empty. Melanie’s grip on the room card tightened slowly. She lowered her head and called the front desk to come and open the door.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The front desk staff arrived quickly. After meddling with the door slightly, they said it was a problem with the magnetic strip on the room card. Melanie nodded but thought about whether she should change rooms.
