The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Mela5nie Smith ) Chapter 426
The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
The incident happened so suddenly, and Viola was taken to the hospital. There were red marks on her fair skin, left behind by the thugsâ rough handling when they tore her clothes.
Given the circumstances, Melanie could not leave. She followed her to the emergency room. The door was closed, and Eugene was accompanying Viola inside.
Melanie herself was hurt when the thugs collided with her. She was about to turn away when Theodore, who was beside her, hesitated before asking, âWhere are you going?â
Melanie moved her arm slightly. âTo the orthopedic department.â
Unaware of her arm injury, Theodore asked, âAre you injured too? Why didnât you say anything earlier?â
Melanie bit her lip. How could she have? To whom should she have spoken to? Viola was busy crying, and Eugene was too preoccupied with concern for her. What difference would it have made even if she did say something?
Theodore sighed lightly at her silence. âEugene and I were leaving the hospital when we heard the sirens. His face turned so dark that it was frightening.â
Melanie replied, âSo, he thinks I was the one who instructed them?â
Theodoreâs face flushed with embarrassment. âNot exactly.â
It was already quite evident whether or not he thought so. Melanie could not help but mock. herself silently, âLook at that. Even Theodore can tell Eugeneâs skepticism toward me.â
The door to the examination room was pushed open, interrupting Melanieâs thoughts. Theodore stepped forward. âHow are you? Are you okay?â
Viola still looked a bit pale in Eugeneâs coat. She was clearly still shaken. She shook her head and then glanced at Melanie. Meeting Melanieâs composed gaze, she hesitated before lowering her head timidly.
