Melanie calmed down slightly and looked at Eugene. “How did you get the news?”

“William said Cedric went after you two,” Eugene replied hoarsely.

“Yeah.” Melanie looked at Meredith and said dryly, “Thank you.”

If it were not for Eugene’s arrival, Cedric would not have let them off. Who knew what he might have done to Meredith?
