The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365 

Melanie waited in the emergency room for 20 minutes before Xander arrived

How are you? Where are you injured?he asked with a serious expression. His brows were slightly knitted together. Melanie had come to the hospital to accompany her grandfather. Now that she was here, sitting in the emergency room, however, it was obvious that she had been injured

Melanie had just taken some painkillers, but her shoulder still ached faintly. Her face was pale, and under the hospital lights, her lips were still bloodless

I have a slight fracture in my shoulder,she replied

Xander’s pupils constricted. He hit you?” 

Melanie did not answer. She picked up the medication and examination report beside her. She slowly got up. I’m in no condition to drive. I’m sorry I have to trouble you to take me home,she replied, her mood sour

Xander’s gaze lingered on her for a moment before he reached a hand out and said, Give them to me. I’ll carry them for you.” 

There was no need to pretend to be strong now, so Melanie handed her things to Xander and followed him to the parking lot. Xander opened the car door. Melanie got in while biting her lip

Xander closed the door gently and hesitated for a moment before looking at Melanie. I’ll fasten the seatbelt for you.” 

Melanie could not move her injured hand much, so she nodded

Xander leaned in, and she detected a faint scent of mint on him. It was different from the cold intensity that Eugene exuded. Xander’s scent was cleaner and gentler

He maintained a proper distance from the start and immediately stepped away after fastening the seatbelt

Melanie’s head felt muddled from the pain. She thanked Xander and fell silent

It was the dead of night, and there were almost no other cars on the road. Xander slowly stopped the car at the traffic light at the intersection. He whispered softly, I bumped into Eugene when I arrived.” 

His tone was subdued, lacking any discernible emotion. Melanie’s eyelashes flickered. He just happened to be at the hospital.” 

Did he run into George

Yes.” 

Melanie looked up, noticing that the lights inside the car were on, likely because Stephen had previously reminded Xander that Melanie had night blindness

Whenever Melanie rode Xander’s car at night nowadays, the lights inside the car were always on. Xander’s profile lacked its usual aloofness under the warm yellow light

After a moment, he finally said, I was late.” 

Emotions flickered in Melanie’s eyes, but she ultimately remained silent

She did not know what Xander meant with that, nor did she want to inquire further. What happened with George was still looming before her, and she had no inclination to think about anything else at the moment

Fortunately, Xander was not one to talk much. He escorted Melanie home and only left after seeing the lights come on in her house

Melanie’s shoulder left her feeling restless the entire night. The slightest movement sent pain through her, let alone when she was lying down

After sitting on the sofa for the entire night, she finally managed to grope her way to freshen up. Since moving was inconvenient for her now, even a simple tidyup took about 20 minutes

She had already requested leave from the studio from Xander the day before, so she did not have to go to work that day. However, a visit to the hospital was still on her agenda

Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang. Is this Melanie Smith? We’re from the Jepton Police Station. There’s something we need to inform you about regarding the fight between you and George Chapman last night.
