Chapter 95
Evelyn had a manicure with diamonds and sequins on her nails.
As she reached for the glass of water, the sequins on her nails somehow flipped just enough to slice open Melanie’s fingertip.
Melanie winced and let go almost instantly. The moment she let go, Evelyn did the same, but not before she tipped the glass over. The hot water spilled onto Melanie’s hand, making her gasp in pain.
She instinctively wanted to scream, but she gritted her teeth through the pain out of sheer habit. Even so, her forehead was drenched in a cold sweat, and there were tears of pain in the corners of her eyes.
Melanie’s lips were white and her brow was deeply furrowed. Her right hand was bright red from her wrist to her knuckles.
Eugene jumped to his feet instantly and strode over to Melanie, lifting her elbow. His voice was low and authoritative. “We’re going to the hospital right now!”
Melanie’s skin was fair, so the hot red welts stood out like a sore thumb.
She could not say anything right now, so she allowed Eugene to lift her elbow and slowly lead her out of the office.
Fortunately, Melanie had just been to the small clinic behind the branch company building.
Even so, the burns on her hand were frighteningly red and swollen by the time they got there. There were even a couple of blisters on her wrist.
Eugene stared at the female doctor who was treating Melanie’s wound, his voice deep and solemn. “Can you treat her? If you’re not sure, tell me now.”
The doctor held the cotton swab, frowning at his attitude. “What, do you think you can do better than me?”
Melanie’s hand was still scalding hot. She could not speak, so she just looked up at Eugene and implored him to stay quiet.
Eugene’s expression turned cold. He looked at Melanie for a moment before saying, “If anything goes wrong, don’t blame it on the company.”
With that, he stormed out of the clinic.
Although Melanie had sustained burns on a large part of her hand, she received treatment quickly enough for there to be no lasting effects.
Nevertheless, the doctor wrapped her hand in a thin layer of gauze.
