The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 

Eugene did not answer. 

Melanie ended the first call and waited for a moment before attempting again. The call was answered quickly this time. 

However, the person who answered was not Eugene. “Hello, who is this? Eugene is busy at the moment and can’t come to the phone. Is there a message I can help pass along?” 

It was Lee, and the background was vaguely noisy. 

Melanie paused. “Is Eugene busy?” 

When Lee heard that it was Melanie who called, he immediately went somewhere quiet nearby and whispered, “Do you need something from Mr. Scott? We’re at a wine–tasting party now, and Mr. Scott is socializing with people from the Oskon City market.” 

“A wine–tasting party?” Melanie exclaimed. “Why would a wine–tasting party be held during the day? Shouldn’t it be held at night?” 

“I heard it’s because those from the Oskon Stock Exchange have to rush back in the afternoon, and that’s why they brought the event forward.” After answering her question, Lee asked, “If you have something urgent to talk to Mr. Scott about, I can pass over the phone now.” 

Melanie thought for a moment and replied, “It’s fine.” 

After ending the call, Melanie sat in the car. She had wanted to ask Eugene why he paid for her grandfather’s fees but suddenly felt that there was no point in it. 

She went back to Dr. Lawrence and told him what exactly was happening, hoping he would return the money to Eugene. 

Dr. Lawrence could tell she had made up her mind and did not try asking her to reconsider. He just said, “I can transfer the money back. It’s just that considering the account holder, it’ll be a little troublesome to transfer the sum back. I’ll go to the bank tomorrow and get it done.” 

“Sorry for the trouble.” 

Melanie spent some more time at the hospital before finally leaving. When she left, it was already late afternoon, and this was the earliest she had left the hospital recently. 

Eugene did not call her back. She wondered if Lee notified him of her call. 

Instead of receiving a call from Eugene, she received a call from Stephen. 

“Mel, I’m back in Jepton. I’m on the way to the hospital now. 

Melanie did not think he would come to the hospital, and her brows furrowed. “Why don’t you go home first?” 

“It’s fine. I’ll just see how the old man is doing. I won’t be able to rest assured otherwise.” 

Stephen had always been a good person, so Melanie did not say anything. She had already walked to the parking lot but then turned back to the hospital to wait for Stephen to come over. 

Stephen arrived with a suitcase in his hand. It seemed that he had come directly from the airport.

Exhaustion was written all over his delicate and gentle face. The concern in his eyes was also 

obvious. 

His gentle voice was a little hoarse as he asked Melanie, “Why have you lost so much weight?” 

Almost 

everyone was saying the same thing when they saw Melanie these days. She just replied, “I’m fine.”
