The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395 

1/2 

When Xander burst into the room, Melanie was standing there, her face deathly pale. She was frozen in place as though she was still answering the call, but her phone had fallen to the floor. 

The phone screen was still lit, and a voice was coming from the speakers. 

“Are you Albert Lancaster’s family? Please come to Paramount Hospital as soon as possible to take over the deceased’s remains-” 

Xander jerked his head up to look at Melanie, but her face was numb and blank. She felt Xander’s gaze and stared blankly at the phone on the floor. Then she slowly crouched down, picked up the phone, and asked in a trembling voice, “Did you call the wrong number? When I went to the hospital yesterday, Grandpa was still fine.” 

“Are Ms. Melanie Smith? This is the contact number you left at our hospital-” 

Melanie had yet to react. She crouched on the ground with her phone in her hand, her eyes filled with confusion. 

“Hello? Are you Ms. Melanie-?” 

The voice on the phone called her name again, and Melanie slowly came back to her senses. Xander reached out to help her up, but she swayed on her feet and stood up. Then she walked out of the room as though in a dream. 

Melanie’s mind went blank. The voice on the phone kept playing on repeat in her head. 

Albert Lancaster? The deceased? His… remains? 

…Were they talking about Grandpa? 

He was fine yesterday. What were they talking about? What remains? 

Melanie went downstairs in a trance. She could not even hear the noises around her until someone grabbed her wrist. 

Xander shouted, his voice deep, “Melanie!” 

Melanie blinked and muttered, “What’s the matter? I have to go to the hospital now. My 

grandfather is waiting for me. Can we talk when I come back? I’m sorry, but I can’t right now…

She was already incoherent. 

Xander’s brow furrowed. He grabbed Melanie’s wrist. “You’re not wearing any shoes!” 

Not only was she barefoot, but Melanie was also still wearing her lounge clothes. She followed Xander’s gaze to her feet and nodded woodenly. 

Xander’s expression was serious. “I’ll take you to the hospital.” 

When Melanie arrived at the hospital, she did not know how she got in. She almost tripped several times along the way. It was all thanks to Xander that she did not fall on her face. 

Her grandfather’s ward was upstairs. He was still there when she went up, but to Melanie’s surprise, George and Dylan were there too.
