The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648 

Xander’s status said he was typing for a long time. Melanie felt a headache coming on as she watched the jumping dots. She threw back the covers and prepared to get out of bed so she could wash up in the bathroom. 

However, before her feet touched the ground, Eugene spoke up. “Do you want to take a shower or wash up?” 

Melanie’s face was expressionless. “What does that have to do with you?” 

Eugene’s expression was equally cold. “The doctor said that you shouldn’t get out of bed today. It’s best if you don’t take a shower either. I can help you wash up slightly.” 

Melanie paused. If she could not get out of bed, who else could she turn to for help? 

There was no one else but Eugene. 

Melanie lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She decisively took her phone and looked up same–day deliveries. Within minutes, she had placed an order for some simple toiletries without saying a word to Eugene. 

Xander’s reply came just in time. It was a simple one–liner, telling Melanie to take care of herself. 

That was all. 

The good thing about private hospitals was that they did not smell like disinfectant. Melanie had- always been sensitive to the smell since she fell pregnant, so she felt quite comfortable tonight. She lay down to sleep after briefly cleaning herself up and did not pay attention to whatever else Eugene 

was doing. 

He could stay if he wanted to. She could not stop him anyway. 

Halfway through the night, it started raining again. The room was very cold when the wind blew in. Melanie struggled to get up and close the window, but before she did, she felt the cold wind die away. Her furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and she drifted back to sleep. 

The lights in the ward went off. The only illumination left came from a screen in the corner of the 

room. 

Eugene sat behind the computer. His eyes were fixed on the screen, looking at the files that he had not gone through earlier in the day. 

When Melanie woke up the next morning, Eugene was no longer in the ward. He was a man of his word. As expected, he had left early in the morning. 

Melanie looked at her phone. It was not even seven yet. 

She sat up and got out of bed to use the bathroom. 

Last night, because Eugene was around, she did not go to the bathroom the entire night. 

When she returned, she was about to order another takeout for breakfast when Lee came into the 

room with some takeaway, “Mr. Scott had a last–minute video conference this morning and returned to his hotel. This is the breakfast he asked me to prepare for you.” 

Melanie looked at the food. “Please tell him there’s no need to go to all this trouble.” 

Lee smiled, put down her breakfast, and left.
