The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 143

There was something off about Viola’s tone when she said that,

After Melanie wiped the blood off her hands, she looked up at them. She glanced at the cotton bud taped onto Viola’s hand and said evenly, “If you had an allergic reaction, you should get some rest.”

Viola gave her a hollow laugh. “I was just showing you some concern, Melanie.”

“Mm–hmm, thanks.” Melanie nodded. “I’m doing just fine.”

Viola pointed to the needle mark on her hand. “I have Eugene with me, but I still feel a bit uncomfortable here. It must be inconvenient for you to come here alone.”

Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered. “I have a friend with me.”

Viola was a little surprised. “You have friends in Hearth City?”

“Yeah.” Melanie nodded and said no more.
