Chapter 850
The Unfaithful Mr. Scott
William said gently, âYouâre still recovering, Eugene, so why did you leave your room? The chairman was worried sick about you. Heâs been waiting here since this morningâ
Eugene did not look at him. His voice was flat. âLee should have told you all. I donât want any visitors.
#1 âYou impudent bastard!â Cedric barked, infuriated by his cold indifference. âEugene Scott, are you looking down on me?!â
Eugene looked at him calmly. âYouâre overthinking things.â
Cedricâs chest heaved. Eugene was clearly lying. The boy had gotten even more rebellious after gaining the Hendersonsâ support!
However, he remembered the real purpose of his visit today and forced himself to suppress Have you recovered from your injuries?â
his rage.
Eugene looked at him.
Cedric continued, âTimothy was young and reckless. What he did was wrong, but youâve taught him a lesson.â
The implication was clear. He wanted Eugene to step back and let Timothy out of prison.
William stood next to Cedric. He looked very much like Cedric when he was young. When the two of them stood together, everyone knew that they were father and son.
He also advised Eugene, âThe Harmons are still our business partners, after all. I know itâs common for hotâblooded young people to get into minor brawls. No harm done.â
William was trying his best to persuade him. Those who did not know better would think that he was very close to Eugene.
Eugene smiled mockingly. âIf this is what you call âno harm doneâ, why donât you have a minor brawl with Timothy yourself, Mr. Thames?â
When Melanie followed Simon upstairs, the door of Eugeneâs ward was still ajar. She happened to hear Eugeneâs words.
The atmosphere in the ward was tense. The two sides were probably in a deadlock, and no one looked particularly happy.
It was also the first time she saw William. He looked so much like Cedric that she could tell at a glance that he was Cedricâs son.
Hearing her footsteps, Eugene looked over and frowned. His voice was cold. âWhat are you doing here?â
Melanie was about to speak when Cedric roared, âEugene! Donât forget that your last name is still Scott!â
Eugene said coldly, nodding at William, âYou can change his last name to Scott if you want.â
âYouâ1â Cedric was furious. Without looking, he grabbed something beside him and threw it at Eugene.
âYou wretched son!â
It all happened so quickly. By the time everyone realized what was happening, the cup of boiling hot tea had already hit Eugene.
Eugene groaned, his face turning pale for a moment.
However, Eugene had just turned to look at Melanie. When he heard the commotion behind him, he instinctively turned sideways, so the cup of tea hit him squarely in his wound.
The doctors and nurses immediately rushed over. Eugeneâs wound was very long and had yet to fully heal. After the cup smashed into it, the wound opened up a little, and the blood that flowed out dyed the gauze red.
Moreover, because the wound was now stained with tea, they were worried it would be infected.
Cedric and William did not stay for long, either. Soon, they stormed off with Eason in tow.
Melanie looked into the ward, lost in thought.
On the other hand, Simon lowered his head and laughed mockingly. He casually told Melanie, âYou can keep waiting here. Iâm leaving.â
Without waiting for Melanieâs reply, he left.
He had seen everything very clearly from where he stood. Eugene had instinctively evaded that cup at first, but then he had deliberately turned back and took the brunt of the hit with his wound.
