The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 621 1/2 “It might be an infection. | suggested he go to the hospital, but he refused,” Lee said.

Melanie frowned slightly at that. She had been worried about Eugene’s wounds getting infected when he came back last night and showered. She thought everything was fine at first, but it seemed like that

was not the case.

“Mr. Scott started having a slight fever yesterday afternoon. | didn’t notice it at the start, and the fever ended up spiking. | just called the doctor, and they advised me to prepare some antibiotics.

“Could you go up and check on him? I’m worried he might not be comfortable alone in the room.” Melanie shook her head. “Eugene is allergic to certain medications, so I'll go get them.”

This was also the reason Melanie was worried about him yesterday. Eugene had a delicate constitution and was allergic to several types of antibiotics.

Lee stood still, astonished. The man had never told him about his drug allergies.

However, Eugene rarely got sick, so he rarely needed medication. It was only after spending a long time with Melanie that she gradually learned about his habits.

Luckily, there was a pharmacy nearby. Melanie got the medicine according to the doctor’s advice and Eugene’s condition. When she was at the counter, she realized Lee had called her several times, probably when she was too preoccupied to notice.

Melanie returned with the medicine. Lee was waiting for her at the door of the room. When he saw her, he softly said, “I need to handle a document from the company. I'll head back to my room first. Could you please help me out?”

Although Melanie wanted to refuse, seeing the bandage on Lee’s head made her remain silent.

Lee’s injury was slightly more severe than Eugene’s, and part of the reason why Eugene got injured was also due to him protecting her. It was within reason for Melanie to take care of him.

Lee said Eugene had a high fever. When Melanie entered the room, Eugene was leaning against the headboard with a laptop propped in front of him. His cheeks were abnormally flushed. He had not even noticed her coming in, which meant that he was still working.

Melanie placed the medicine next to him and asked softly, “Have you had dinner?” Eugene heard her and lifted his head from the laptop.

“Did Lee send you?” he asked, his voice hoarse and heavy.

“He doesn’t know about your drug allergies,” Melanie replied. She then went to fetch him a cup of warm water. “Once you've had dinner, take your medicine. Have you changed the dressing on your wound?”

Eugene was wearing casual clothes, presumably due to his illness. He looked very gentle. He reached Chapter 621

out to accept the cup of water Melanie brought him. When their fingertips touched, Melanie furrowed her brows.

“Have you taken your temperature?” she asked.

Eugene’s skin was burning. Biting her lip, Melanie looked at his feverish face and even darker eyes. She said, “If your condition doesn’t improve, you should go to the hospital.”

“There’s no need for all that hassle,” Eugene simply replied. Melanie knew him well and knew he did not like going to hospitals. H

However, taking in his exhaustion and unhealthy appearance, she could not help but press on, Eugene, no one will care even if you don’t take care of yourself. You always think your body is made ofProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

iron.

“You insist on working even when you're sick and refuse to go to the hospital. If you think you can tough it out, then tough it out properly.” After saying all this, Melanie picked up the medicine she bought, looked at it, and then impatiently threw it back to its original

spot. “If you’re so tough, then don’t bother taking the medicine.”

Eugene remained silent at her tirade. He looked up, his jet-black pupils staring straight at her as his thin lips pursed tightly. He seemed displeased.

It was only then that Melanie realized she had lost her composure and gone off on him. She had been preoccupied with thoughts of Matthew and Howard, which put her in a bad mood.

She bit her lip and put a lid on her emotions before saying softly, “I’m sorry, | was just in a bad mood earlier. Rest well. I'll be outside. If you need anything, just call me.”
