The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 32 Melanie returned to her senses. She nodded slightly and said, “You don’t have to go through such trouble if you don’t have time.” She stared at the plant in the corner and continued, “If you do this, my grandpa will overthink it.”

“Overthink what? Didn’t you ask me to go?” Eugene clicked his tongue and opened the door. He walked into his apartment and reminded Melanie impatiently, “Next time, think about the consequences before you come to me. You're so troublesome.”

Immediately after, Eugene slammed the door shut.

Melanie touched the takeout bag. The food was already cold.

She stood there motionlessly for a moment before she threw the takeout into the trash can and returned home. Albert stayed in the hospital for around three days before the doctor gave the green light for him to be discharged.

Melanie especially went to pick her grandfather up because she knew that he must be bored after staying in the hospital for a few days.

Albert held Melanie’s hand and shook his head. “I told you | was fine, but you insisted that | stay in the hospital.” Melanie was packing his suitcase as she said, “I will only feel more at ease this way.”

Albert smiled and opened the door to the ward, only to see a young lady struggling to push a wheelchair with a middle-aged man in it. The man in the wheelchair had a cast on his right leg that looked very bulky.

Albert frowned and stepped forward to help. Viola raised her head and smiled sweetly at him, ” Thank you.”

Melanie happened to come out after packing her grandfather’s suitcase. She frowned when she saw her grandfather with Viola. Albert spotted Melanie and waved to her. “Mel, come here and help this girl.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Viola was also stunned to see Melanie. “Melanie, why are you here?”

Melanie stepped forward, took the wheelchair from Viola, and turned the corner with ease.

“Grandpa, I'll take you back first.” Melanie did not want to interact much with Viola in front of her grandfather, so she returned the wheelchair to Viola, took the suitcase, and left.

“Melanie.” Viola stopped her and said hesitantly, “Eugene went to get the medical report. He’s on the way back now. You can ask him to help you with your suitcase.”

Viola sounded concerned, but Melanie knew that Viola was showing off that Eugene was hers. Just as Melanie was about to refuse, Eugene had already arrived.

As soon as Viola saw him, she waved and said, “Eugene, come and help Melanie. It’s hard for her to carry such a big suitcase alone.”

“Eugene?” Albert was still standing nearby. He frowned and looked between Viola and Eugene. He had a feeling that something was wrong.

Viola noticed Albert's gaze, so she carefully hugged Eugene’s arm and shook it. “Eugene, this old man turns out to be Melanie’s grandfather. He helped me just now.”

Eugene looked at Melanie’s grandfather, nodded to him, and asked, “Are you getting discharged today?”

Albert did not answer the question. Instead, he glanced at Viola and asked Eugene in a low voice, “Eugene, what is your relationship with this girl?”

Albert was referring to Viola.

Melanie also looked at Eugene, waiting for his answer.

“Viola is my girlfriend.” Eugene’s expression was unchanged.

Melanie looked at him and withdrew her gaze. ‘What was | expecting just now? Did | expect Eugene to say that Viola has nothing to do with him?’

Melanie closed her eyes in silence for a moment. When she opened her eyes, she calmly picked

up

the suitcase and held her grandfather’s arm. “Let me take you home first.”

However, the old man simply shook off her hand. He still maintained his composure, even though he wanted to lose his temper. Albert looked at Eugene and asked, “When did you and Mel break up?”
