Chapter 66
Melanie was aware that her situation was not good at the moment, and she did not dare to act tough. She nodded to Stephen. “Thank you.”
Stephen lifted Melanie into his arms steadily. Although Melanie was tall, she was slender, and with Stephen being over 1.8 meters tall, she looked small and helpless in his arms.
While cradled in Stephen’s arms, Melanie raised her eyes and happened to meet Eugene’s deep and cold gaze. She hesitated for a moment but then lowered her gaze again, averting from his line of sight.
“Eugene?” Viola tugged at Eugene’s sleeve and reminded him softly, “Didn’t we agree to have dinner with Simon and the others?”
Eugene looked away from Melanie and glanced at her. He hummed in response to her, and they made their way toward his car.
Viola looked over at Stephen and Melanie with pursed–lips, but she quickly relaxed. She hooked her arm with Eugene’s, as if declaring her claim over him.
Melanie followed Stephen to the hospital. Her previously sprained ankle was injured again, and the doctor sternly advised her not to wear high heels.
Melanie felt apologetic. “Sorry, we were supposed to have dinner together.”
“It’s fine. As long as you’re okay.” Stephen pulled her up. “Can you still walk?”
Melanie had changed into a pair of flat shoes, and she was barely able to walk.
Since dinner was no longer viable, Stephen could only take her home.
However, because of her injury, Melanie was unable to drive, which left Stephen helpless. “I’ll drive you to work tomorrow,” he insisted.
Melanie hesitated as she did not want to trouble him. “No need. I can take a taxi.”
“You’ll have to walk a few hundred meters before you can flag down a taxi. Are you sure you can manage?” Stephen disagreed with her. “It’s settled, then. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
