Chapter 100

“Eugene?”

Melanie was about to say something when she heard Viola’s voice.

She looked up and saw Viola standing not far away, holding her suitcase. She was staring at them, her face pale as a sheet.

Eugene also seemed surprised to see Viola. He paused, let Melanie go, and walked up to Viola’s side. “Why are you here?” he asked her softly.

“I…” Viola looked at Melanie and then at Eugene. Her eyes were red as she choked, “I happened to be on leave, so I wanted to come over and visit you! But…”

She grabbed Eugene’s shirt tightly, glancing at Melanie from time to time as if she had been deeply hurt.

Simon interjected, “When I said I was dropping by yesterday, Viola immediately said she wanted to come with me.”

He then teased his friend with a grin, “Aren’t you happy, Eugene? It’s such a nice surprise. Your girlfriend came all the way here to visit you.”

Eugene did not reply. He just took the suitcase from Viola’s hand, his tone was low and gentle as he said, “Come on, I’ll take you upstairs. You should get some rest.”

Viola’s eyes were still red as she stared at Eugene.

Eugene paused for a moment before saying slowly, “I’ll explain upstairs.”

The atmosphere was perfectly warm and lovey–dovey. It was as if they had completely forgotten that Melanie was there.

It was only when Viola passed by her and said hi in a muffled voice that she realized what had happened.

Melanie watched as Eugene kindly carried Viola’s suitcase for her. All of a sudden, her wrist hurt.
