The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Many people were passing by in the corridor of the hospital. Melanie tried to calm down and felt better after a while. She did not want to say anything more to Buggene and headed to the toilet.

Fortunately, there were not many people there. She stopped before the sink and looked at herself in

the mirror.

Tears were shimmering in her eyes, and her makeup was smudged, making her look a little pathetic,Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Wordlessly, she took out her makeup bag and touched up her makeup. Then, she supported her body with both her arms as she rested with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, she received a call from her grandfather. Melanie’s mind went blank momentarily before she recalled that she had not told her grandfather about the situation.

Lowering her eyes, she took a deep breath before answering the call.

Her grandfather’s aged voice sounded. The worries in his voice were obvious. “Mel, how's everything?” Melanie felt as though the words were stuck in her throat.

Albert seemed to have noticed her emotion and paused before asking, “Mel, did something happen?”

Melanie snapped out of her daze, and her hand clenched into a fist. She tried to speak as calmly as she could, “Don’t worry, it’s fine. Peachie is just experiencing anemia.”

“Anemia? Why?”

Melanie said, “Maybe because of the drugs.”

She quickly added after explaining, “Rest well. | have to go to the doctor to get to know more. Everything will be fine.” Albert was relieved and reminded her, “Peachie’s health is important, and so is yours.”

After answering the call, Melanie stayed in the toilet for a while before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Eugene was still waiting outside.

His forehead was creased as he looked at his phone with his head lowered.

Upon hearing the footsteps, he kept his phone and looked at Melanie with a sneer. “You'd rather be in grief and still act kind. You sure are generous!”

Freezing, Melanie said, “I'll deal with my matter myself.”

“How are you going to deal with it? How much money do you have, and how long will you be able to fund her?” Eugene’s gaze on her was filled with mockery as he seized her and scoffed.

Melanie used all her might to maintain her composure and not show him her weak side. She said, “It has nothing to do with you.

As she spoke, she headed to the ward.

Nander returned after making a call, and she bumped into him. He had gone to pick up a call after he got out of the doctor’s Office.

Noticing Melanie’s pale face, he frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”

Melanie shook her head, “I’m fine,”

Then, she headed to the ward and saw the nurse giving Peachie a drip while Dylan was accompanying Peachie. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Dylan looked over and saw Melanie. She called out cautiously, “Mel.”

Melanie looked at her calmly. “Come out. | have something to talk to you about.”

Atint of panic flashed across Dylan’s dazed face as she said, “You can speak here. Peachie is on her drip.” Melanie looked at the pale Peachie who was lying on the bed listlessly with her eyes closed. She looked

like a rag doll.

She retracted her gaze and looked at Dylan. “It’s about Peachie’s medical fees. Come out if you want the money.” Then, she walked out of the ward.

However, when she was at the door, she stopped and looked at Xander as she nodded politely. “Please

look after Peachie.”

Xander nodded in response.

After that, Melanie headed to the fire exit.

Dylan followed behind her, feeling uneasy as she asked, “Where are we going, Mel?”
