The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 419

Melanie’s first encounter with Eugene had been quite awkward. Her grandfather’s accident had forced her to spend all her time in the hospital. As a young woman who had just started college, she did not know much about anything.

She was running around in a panic, hoping to bring some justice for her grandfather.

However, compensation from the driver responsible for the accident was not forthcoming. Despite her grandfather’s job as an educator, his savings were not substantial. He had already set aside funds for Melanie’s college education. There was not much left.

She could not delay the payment of the hospital fees. Besides, with her grandfather recovering from surgery and in a weakened state, he needed proper care.

Even with Melanie working part–time after classes every day, the money needed was still far from enough. During that period, Melanie was like a person made of iron, resting only five hours a day. The prolonged stress had her nerves stretched to the limit.
