The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 727

Chapter 727 

Yvonne had spoken quite loudly. Before Melanie could even react, the others were already approaching them. 

“1” Yvonne was about to speak again when Melanie silently pushed past everyone and headed downstairs. Her mind had been blank the past few seconds, but now, her senses were coming back to 

her. 

Acting swiftly, Xander immediately followed her downstairs. When they arrived at the hospital, it was evident that the police had also been notified. They were standing guard at the door of the ward, a picture of seriousness. 

James, who had been in contact with Melanie, glanced at her and said solemnly, “She jumped from the second floor, but her fall was cushioned by the trees below. She sustained injuries to her arms and legs, but her vital organs are intact. The doctors are still assessing the situation.” 

“Where did she jump from?” Hospital windows were strictly regulated, with only small openings allowed. Moreover, Dylan was brought in by the police, and the doors were watched all the time. It was impossible for her to leave the ward. 

James‘ expression instantly turned grim. “She removed the window limiter. 

Dylan’s timing was quite strategic. She had chosen a time when everyone was relaxed and had their guard down. When she was discovered, she had already climbed onto the window ledge. 

Melanie watched the video footage James gave her. It showed Dylan sitting on the window ledge, her hair and clothes disheveled as she spoke incoherently. Suddenly, her view was blocked, followed by the sound of a phone screen locking. 

Xander looked down at her, his voice low as he whispered, “Don’t look.” His palm felt slightly warm 

over Melanie’s eyes. It blocked out the part where Dylan jumped. 

Xander’s scent was different from Eugene’s cold cedar one. It was fresher, with a hint of mint. Melanie could not help but feel her eyelashes tremble as Xander’s palm brushed against her. 

Xander felt a slight itch on his palm and instinctively retracted his hand, tucking it by his side. He lowered his gaze to conceal any unusual emotions that had appeared in his eyes before glancing at Melanie again. 

Clearing his throat, he asked James, “Did she say why she suddenly did this?” 

“We asked her why she did it when we rescued her, and she said she’s a sinner. She said no one will forgive her and that she doesn’t deserve to live anymore,” James replied. 

Melanie’s expression instantly darkened. She waited outside the ward for half an hour before the door finally opened. “How’s the patient?” she asked as she approached the doctor. 

“Her external injuries aren’t severe, but she can’t handle emotional stress,” the doctor said while looking at Melanie. “It’s best for family members not to say anything that could upset the patient.”
