The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 743

Chapter 743 

Melanie blinked for a moment before looking away. 

Eugene let himself into the room. He studied Melanie’s face for a while before ringing the bell to summon the doctor for an examination. 

Melanie had only passed out from exhaustion, so the doctor declared she was otherwise healthy. Before he left, however, he could not help but remind her to rest more. 

“Expecting mothers must get plenty of rest. If you collapse like this again, the baby might be affected.

Melanie watched the doctor leave before shifting her gaze to Eugene. “What are you doing here?” 

Eugene paused slightly. The gentle winter sunlight made his gaze look softer than usual. He looked down at Melanie and asked her quietly, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?” 

“The doctor just said I’m fine,” Melanie replied, her tone direct and succinct. She ignored the way he stiffened and continued, “If you have nothing else to say to me, you should leave now. Xander and the others will be here soon.” 

Her heart did not waver when she saw Eugene so soon after waking him. She had no intention of asking him why he had come to her ward. 

The lawsuit was over, and with it, many things should finally come to an end. 

However, Eugene did not leave. Instead, he looked at Melanie, his tone harder than before. “Can’t you tell that I’m worried about you?” 

Melanie raised her gaze, her tone flat. “Yes, I can tell. Thank you. 

” 

Her attitude infuriated Eugene so much that he laughed out loud, sneering, “Fine, I’m only here because Zara told me to inform you that you have to make another trip to the law firm. Happy now?” 

There were other loose ends to take care of after the case was completed. Since Melanie had been asleep for the past two days, she could not settle things at the law firm. 

She nodded. “I’ll be there.” 

Her tone was still cold, but she was not doing it on purpose. She had just woken up, after all, so she was still a little lethargic. Moreover, she did not feel like dealing with Eugene right now. 

Honestly speaking, both Viola and Eugene had caused her no end of grief. 

“Mel, I’m back!” Yvonne opened the door with a takeout bag and stopped in her tracks when she saw Eugene. Her lips curled in disdain, “You work fast.‘ 

When she sensed Melanie’s gaze on her, she snapped back to her senses and cleared her throat awkwardly. “Mr. Scott, could you leave first? Mel just woke up and needs to rest.”

Eugene gave Melanie a long, hard look, his eyes full of unreadable emotions. When Melanie met his gaze, though, he looked away, 

As soon as he left, Yvonne brought Melanie her food with a sigh. “You wouldn’t believe this, but… After you passed out the other day, we bumped into him when we brought you to the hospital,” 

Yvonne scowled in the direction of the door, “Viola’s in the first ward down the corridor, and Dylan and George are in the room opposite hers. Fascinating arrangements, don’t you think? I wouldn’t put it past the three of them to strangle one another in their sleep.”
