The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Mela5nie Smith ) Chapter 372

Chapter 372

He was wearing a black shirt, and there were traces of the fabric on his right forearm being cut.

“Let me see your arm,” Melanie said in a serious tone.

Eugene looked at her from top to bottom, his expression unchanging. “No need.”

“You just-” Melanie glanced at the fallen knife not far away, a belated fear rising in her heart.

Eugene paused for a moment, then casually rolled up his sleeve, revealing the marked area on his arm. His voice was calm. “It was just a normal reaction.”

His dark eyes drooped slightly, and he continued indifferently, “Melanie, put away that pitying look of yours. Instead of being nice to me, you should think about how to deal with this mess of yours. £1

“I came with you just for confirmation,” he continued.

”

Behind then, Yvonne, who was still recovering from the shock of George throwing the knife, asked Eugene, “What did you want to confirm?“”

“I wanted to confirm how she was going to handle her stepfather,” Eugene replied calmly. “I don’t want to get into trouble, after all.”

Yvonne was even more puzzled now. “Do you know him?”

Eugene did not answer her, but Melanie knew what he meant. Eugene did indeed know George. During their time in Hearth City, Eugene had even ordered Theodore to send George in.

The police officers heard the commotion and came over. Melanie said nothing more. She pointed to the knife on the ground and said, “This is the second attempt at assault. I won’t accept any other resolution aside from pressing charges.”

The police officers had nothing more to say and just escorted Melanie away. However, before they could leave, they heard Dylan’s hoarse voice call out, “Mel.”

Melanie stopped but did not turn around.

“Mel, for my sake, can you let him off this time? I’ll apologize to you however you want me to. I’ll do it. If you want to hit me, you can. Can you just give him another chance? Please, Mel?”

Dylan pleaded miserably, but Melanie remained silent. She did not even turn her head before walking

away.

From inside the hospital ward, Dylan watched Melanie’s retreating figure, feeling desolation wash up on her. Eventually, she could only sit numbly by George’s bedside, tears streaming down her face.

Since they were already at Paramount Hospital, Melanie told Yvonne that she was going to visit her grandfather. Yvonne understood that she wanted to be alone, so she left without saying much.

“Eugene.” Melanie looked at the upright man in front of her but did not know what to say.

Eugene glanced at his phone before looking back at her. “Speak,” he said indifferently.

She pressed her lips together. “Thank you.”

“Words are the most useless things.” Eugene sneered. “I’ve said it before–instead of pleasing others, focus on managing yourself.” [1

The scent of cedar on him overwhelmed the smell of the hospital’s disinfectant. Melanie’s throat tightened suddenly. After a moment, she calmly replied, “I’ll handle George myself.” She paused before adding, “I won’t let the same thing happen again.”

Eugene’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “It better be that way.”

Melanie turned and walked slowly toward her grandfather’s ward, not wanting to make any abrupt

movements.

After seeing Melanie leave, Eugene lowered his gaze and looked expressionlessly at his right hand. He slowly moved his wrist and then unbuttoned his cufflinks. After adjusting them, he turned around and walked away briskly.
