The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 363

Chapter 363

Melanie was unsure how much force George had exerted, but the pain in her shoulder was piercing.

She felt a lack of strength in that half of her body. It was hard to imagine the consequences if that

punch had landed on her face.

“What are you looking at? This is none of your business. I didn’t come for you this time!” George’s

words reached Melanie, who was bent over in an effort to ease the pain.

She bit her lip, suppressing the urge to cry out in pain. She lifted her eyes to look at Eugene.

Eugene exuded a cold aura as he stood there with an air of nobility. He lowered his gaze to George,

showing no emotion on his face. However, when George made eye contact with him, he inexplicably

shivered.

Panting, Melanie watched Eugene’s back as she struggled to speak, “Eugene, can you wait for a

moment before leaving?”

Every word she uttered caused another twinge of pain in her shoulder, so her speech was slow and

deliberate.

There was no specific reason for her request. She was just afraid George might get up again. She was

not in good condition now, and things would be safer if Eugene was willing to stay a bit longer.

Eugene remained motionless at her words. A moment passed, and he turned his head slightly. Melanie

noticed the tension in his jawline.

Thinking that Eugene might not want to stay, she raised her phone and said, “I was about to call the

police. I’d appreciate it if you could stay a bit longer.”

Her lips were bloodless, and Eugene’s eyelashes drooped. “You’re in such a sorry state,” he said after

a while.

Melanie smiled self–mockingly. Was he wrong? She had been deceived by her own mother and beaten

by her stepfather. Now, she had to beg Eugene to give her some courage. She was indeed in a sorry

state.

Despite Eugene’s comment, he did not leave.

Melanie felt a bit relieved even though her shoulder was still throbbing. There were several times when

she could not even help herself but gasp at the pain.

The hospital’s security came to them first before the police. After assessing the situation, they

restrained George. He continued moaning in pain, his face contorted with suffering. However, when he

looked at Melanie, his eyes were filled with intense hatred.

The police arrived quickly after. Although no one was present at the site earlier, there were still

surveillance cameras. Since Melanie had acted in self–defense, the police departed after getting a brief

statement from her and leaving their contact information.

Eugene had remained silent throughout the process. Only after the police took George away did

Melanie turn to him and whisper, “Thank you.”

Eugene’s expression remained cold, and he did not respond to Melanie’s gratitude. He sternly reached

out and lightly touched Melanie’s injured shoulder.
