The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 728

Melanie had been looking into Dylan’s eyes the entire time and caught the momentary panic and nervousness in them. She could not quite explain what she was feeling at the moment. Was Dylan trying to seek her forgiveness by jumping off the building?

Melanie chuckled inwardly at the thought, her self–mockery evident in her eyes. “Atone? Who do you want to atone to, and what will you do after atoning?” she asked.

“I want to atone to you, Melanie. I want to atone to you!” Dylan suddenly struggled to sit up, but because of her injuries, her posture was particularly awkward.

Kneeling on the bed, she pleaded with Melanie, “I was wrong before. I shouldn’t have schemed against you. Melanie, please, can you let me die? As long as you’re willing to forgive me, I can die right now!

“I’m willing to die in whatever way you want me to. If you want me dismembered or flayed alive, I’m willing to do it as long as you’re willing to forgive me. Even if it means jumping into a deep–fryer, I’m willing!”

Dylan grew more and more agitated as she spoke. She was even smashing her head against the iron railing at the foot of the bed, making a loud banging sound.

While she continued to hit her head against the railing, she asked Melanie, “Melanie, will this satisfy you?”

Finally, Xander called a nurse in to sedate Dylan, which calmed her down. Melanie watched Dylan lie on the hospital bed for a while before closing her eyes and saying, “Let’s go.”

When Dylan tried to hit her head against the railing just now, Melanie instinctively reached out to stop her. However, Dylan ended up scratching her on her wrist.

Xander looked at her. He was about to say something but remained silent in the end.

Melanie was quiet along the way. The moment they exited the hospital, she said, “I’m going to Navair Law Firm. I need to communicate with Miss Henson in advance about some matters to prevent any

problems.”

Xander thought of Dylan and nodded. “I’ll go with you.”

Melanie’s worries were not unfounded. If she had expected something of Dylan before, she now needed to prepare for the worst. Dylan could not be the reason she lost the lawsuit.
