The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Eugene did not even look at Melanie. He took the bag from Viola’s hand and said in a cold voice, “I don’t know. Let’s go upstairs first.”

Eugene left Jesenburg in the middle of the night, ignoring Melanie’s suggestion. He was still angry at her.

Viola nodded tiredly and said, “Melanie, my father just got out of surgery this morning and is still in the ICU, so he can’t take visitors.”

Melanie looked at the couple, lowered her eyes, and explained, “I’m actually going to the nursing home.”

Viola realized that she had made the wrong assumption and smiled awkwardly. “Oh, sorry.” “No worries.” Melanie walked past them and headed straight for the nursing home.

After taking a few steps, she heard Viola complaining to Eugene. “That was so embarrassing! Why didn’t you tell me?” Eugene whispered something to Viola that Melanie could not hear. She just saw them carrying their things into the hospital.

Melanie would usually visit the nursing home every month, but she had not visited for the past two months because she was too busy.

Melanie’s grandfather was a retired teacher. When Melanie went over, her grandfather was reading a newspaper under a big tree.

Seeing her, Albert took off his reading glasses and said with a smile, “You're here!” Melanie handed him the snacks that she bought. “I bought your favorite cookies when | passed by Tory’s earlier.” “Mel, | can’t believe you remember!” Albert was old and friendly.

He looked at Melanie for a while and suddenly asked, “Where’s Eugene? Is he busy again?” Back when Melanie had a good relationship with Eugene, Eugene would occasionally accompany her to the nursing home to visit Albert.

Thus, Albert had always thought that Eugene was Melanie’s boyfriend. Later, when Eugene no longer showed up, Albert would habitually ask about him.

As usual, Melanie said, “He’s too busy with work and doesn’t have spare time.” Melanie had used this excuse many times, and Albert believed it.

“Young people should be busy with work.” Albert sighed. “It’s better than being idle like me.” “You're not idle. The dean told me that you were helping some teachers from nearby primary schools mark homework.” Melanie squatted down in front of him and consoled him.

She stayed in the nursing home for more than two hours. When she returned to the parking lot, she saw that Eugene’s car was still parked there.

Chapter 27 2/2 She wondered if Eugene still remembered that he had once accompanied her to the nursing home behind Paramount Hospital.

The news of Viola’s father’s car accident quickly spread throughout the company. Viola had been a wreck these days, and no one dared to mess with her.

“Melanie.” An intern from the secretary's office called out to her timidly.

Melanie looked up and saw the intern holding a document. She had a hesitant expression.

Melanie paused and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s something wrong with this document. The format and data are all incorrect.” The intern added in an apprehensive tone, “Viola gave this to me.”

Melanie understood what the intern meant. Everyone in the company knew that Viola was Eugene’s girlfriend, so no one dared to trouble her. Melanie took the document and said, “I'll go find her.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The intern left with relief. Melanie took the document to the president’s office. She did not beat around the bush when she put the document on Viola’s desk and said, “The data and format of this document are incorrect. Please take the time to modify it.”

As soon as Melanie said this, Viola’s eyes immediately turned red, and tears started to stream down her face. Viola acted as if Melanie had done something to her.
