The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 364

Only the sound of slow footsteps echoed through the alleyway as they crossed it to reach the entrance of the emergency room, which was illuminated with light. Eugene’s silhouette disappeared within the next few steps, and Melanie lowered her gaze.

Perhaps he remembered her night blindness and intentionally accompanied her through that part of the journey. Regardless, Melanie was grateful to Eugene–for tonight at least.

When Melanie entered the emergency room, she saw Eugene again. He had a registration form in his hand as he asked, “Do you need me to stay with you?”

Melanie hesitated. “How much did it cost? I’ll reimburse you.”

Eugene scoffed. “What are you thinking? I only brought you here because I’m worried about being implicated by your family again. If I hadn’t stayed back and seen things through, it’d be your words against mine later on. I’ve already seen enough of what your family is capable of.” Lips pursed, Melanie did not respond and just went to see the doctor with the registration form.

She felt a bit dizzy due to the pain in her shoulder. The emergency room was relatively quiet at night, and the examination was quick. After getting an X–ray, it was not long before the results were in.

George’s punch had caused a minor fracture in Melanie’s shoulder. During the treatment process, Melanie moved her clothes aside to reveal the red swelling on her skin, with some parts even turning black and purple.

The doctor frowned upon seeing Melanie’s injuries. “You’re just a woman. How did you get such a severe injury? It looks like it’s unlikely to heal completely in the next ten days or so.”

Melanie tilted her head slightly, saw the shocking state of her shoulder, and felt a heavy weight in her heart. George had indeed used excessive force.

Although the doctor was gentle as she applied the medication, Melanie could not help the furrow in her brows. She bit her lip to suppress any sounds of pain.

After bandaging the wound, the doctor instructed her, “Avoid using this hand as much as possible. Get plenty of rest, eat nutritious food, and have your family apply the medication on time.”

She handed the prescription to Melanie, or so it seemed at first. Later, Melanie realized the doctor was actually passing it to Eugene, who had been standing behind her silently all along.

Melanie hesitated. “You’ve seen the results. Give me the prescription. I’ll get the medicine myself.”

Eugene’s gaze lingered on her bandaged shoulder for a moment before he replied in a detached tone, “You wouldn’t have ended up like this if you’d just watched yourself.”

He took the prescription and left. Melanie had no choice but to follow him.
