The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

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.

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.
