The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 534

Melanie’s cooking skills were so-so, but she could still make pasta.

Xander came down the stairs after she was done cooking.

He was wearing a white long-sleeve tee, and his dark hair was wet. His fringe, which hung right above his deep eyes, made him look slightly mild-mannered.

Xander took the plate of pasta from Melanie and headed to the dining table.

Melanie did not have the habit of eating late at night, but she had not eaten dinner because of the difficult client she met. While she was cooking, the food made her feel a little hungry. Xander and Melanie ate in silence. When they were done, Melanie asked softly, “How is your sister doing?”

She asked the question cautiously because Xander was looking tense.

Xander was thoughtful for a while before answering, “Not great. Her knees, calves, and ankles are fractured, and her arms are dislocated. Her collarbone is broken, and she’s bleeding internally.

“She had to go through an emergency surgery today, and there’s another surgery waiting for her in a few days.”

Melanie was shocked to hear this. “How did she end up this way?”

Xander looked a little glum. “I have no idea. She was followed not long after she left the airport, and she crashed with the van next to her.”
