The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Simon stopped the topic and returned to the club upon hearing the ringtone.

Eugene answered the call after Simon left.

It was quiet on the other end of the call. After a while, Melanie’s voice sounded. She asked, ” Where are you?”

Eugene scoffed. “What does that have to do with you?”

Melanie was still at the hospital. She had visited her grandfather and talked to him about the surgery. He agreed as well. After that, she went out to make this call.

Melanie did not believe such a coincidence. She would never think they got this chance

because they were lucky. She seemed to come to a realization.

Howard was not a doctor at Paramount Hospital. Even if they needed to record the surgery, they would not invite Howard personally to do the surgery.

After all, Paramount Hospital was also a famous hospital in Jepton, and they had many professional doctors. The only possibility she could think of was Eugene.

Moreover, she had looked for him that noon, and the surgery was arranged in the evening...

Melanie said, “I want to talk to you about my grandfather’s surgery.”

Eugene squinted his eyes. “What's there to talk about that?”

“I've promised to do anything to repay your help.”

Melanie did not want to owe Eugene anything. She looked at the ground when she said that.

Eugene’s voice was always cold and indifferent. He said, “Okay.”

Melanie was quick. She pulled over her car in front of Eugene in just half an hour.

Eugene looked at her. “Drive me back home.”

He had drunk some wine while chatting with Simon and could not drive.

Melanie said nothing and parked her car. After getting out, she took the keys from Eugene to drive his car. He had said once before that Melanie’s car was small and uncomfortable to sit in.

They drove back to Eugene’s place silently. Only when they got out of the car did Melanie return the car keys to him. Eugene took them, and his gaze fell on Melanie as he said lazily, “| haven’t eaten dinner.

Melanie froze. “What would you like for dinner?”

Eugene said nothing and headed toward the elevator.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Melanie pondered and decided to get Eugene some stewed beef from the restaurant nearby.

Whenever Eugene got drunk after business dinners, Melanie would always get stewed beef from a particular restaurant. It became a habit after so long.

She gradually forgot about this habit throughout the years.

The owner of the restaurant recognized her and smiled as he asked, “I haven’t seen you for so long. Do you want me to pack the stew just like last time?”

Melanie nodded as she returned with the stew to the residential area.

She needed an access card to get to the floor.

Melanie wanted to call Eugene, but she thought of the residential card she still had. She forgot to return it to Eugene when she moved out.

However, she was not sure if she could still use it.

Melanie swiped the card on the sensor and saw the button blinking. The elevator door opened after it took her to her floor. Just as she made a turn, she saw the unit she used to live in. Its door was wide open. It

reminded her of the day she moved and the movers telling her a new tenant would be moving in.

“It has only been a few days, and you've forgotten your way here?” Eugene stood behind the door as he looked at Melanie expressionlessly.

Melanie froze and hid her expression as she handed him the stew. “Here. Take your dinner.” Eugene looked at her from above as he was taller.

He mocked, “Do | have to invite you in?”

Melanie pursed her lips and said nothing.

The interior of the house was no different from when she moved out.
