The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Eugene returned with the medication. Shani left to give them some privacy.

Melanie said, “I can put the medication on myself.”

Eugene did not push it. He placed the medication close to Melanie before turning to Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

leave. However, he stopped at the door and looked back to Melanie to say, “I’ve changed my room to be next to you. Just get me if you need anything.

Melanie’s injury was not that serious, but she had been wounded in the same place several times before, and it looked quite serious physically.

It did not hurt that much the next day, and the swelling had also subsided.

The weather was not that great, and the rain would continue for the coming week. After discussing this, the group decided to cancel the rest of the trip and return home.

Melanie packed her things and waited for Shani to bring Meredith inside. The door was pushed open, but it was Eugene who appeared.

He did not come in but took the luggage placed at the door. He said simply, “I’ll take the luggage down and come back to help you downstairs.”

Melanie rejected him. “That’s not necessary. I’m fine now.”

Shani came in with Meredith at this point. Eugene gave this some thought and pushed the luggage to the side. He went up to Melanie and scooped her up in his arms. He did not give her the chance to

reject him and strode outside directly.

Melanie was shocked by this and burst out saying, “Are you crazy?!”

Eugene hugged her tighter in his arms. His voice sounded husky. “Stop moving.”

He stuffed her into the car and returned to the room to get her luggage. He acted so smoothly and quickly that Melanie did not have the opportunity to say a thing.

The return trip was very quick. They were about to leave after Melanie got home when Shani glanced at her ankle worriedly. “Can you still take care of Merry in this condition? Won’t

your domestic help only return in a few days? How about if I get someone here to help you out?”

Melanie replied, “It’s fine.”

Another voice spoke up at this point, “I’ll take care of them.”

Eugene looked at Melanie without blinking an eye.

Melanie frowned, but Shani was already nodding. “That’s just as well. You’re Merry’s father, after all. It’s your responsibility.”

Shani and the rest left quickly without waiting for Melanie to reject this suggestion. Eugene was the only one left behind.

Melanie did not have a very close relationship with her colleagues, and they only

communicated with each other because of work. It was only normal that they were not willing to sacrifice their personal time for her.

Melanie was the only one left behind with Eugene in the empty house along with the sleeping Meredith.

Eugene seemed to take this into his stride. He took off his coat and placed it at the side while rolling up his sleeves. He asked Melanie calmly, “Do you need to take a rest?”

Melanie did not hide the coldness in her eyes. “I didn’t agree for you to stay behind.”

“You’re hurt.” Eugene looked straight into her eyes. He turned his gaze to Meredith. ” Are you sure you can take good care of her diet and change her clothes when you have problems moving around?”

Melanie was silent. It was true that she could do none of those things well now.

When Meredith wanted to eat late at night yesterday, she struggled for a long time to prepare her food. It was Eugene who prepared it in the end because he heard the commotion from next door.

Eugene wanted to say something, but he frowned. He put his right fist to his mouth as he began coughing.

Melanie noticed that his cheeks were unnaturally red.
