The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Mela5nie Smith ) Chapter 421

Chapter 421 

Before they could head to the hospital, Eugene’s phone began to ring. He stepped aside to answer the call. Watching him walk away, Viola said to Melanie softly, “Melanie, if you’re in a hurry to go to the hospital, you can go first. I’ll wait for Eugene and we’ll head over later.” 

Seeing through her intentions, Melanie turned around blankly and left. 

Viola watched her leave and then quietly explained to Theodore, who was beside her, “Peachie is Melanie’s younger sister. No matter how angry she seems, deep down, she’s still worried about her. It’s better to let her go first.” 

Theodore nodded thoughtfully. “That makes sense.” 

Viola smiled again. “I’ll wait here for Eugene.” 

Realization dawning upon him, Theodore patted his forehead and said, “I’ll go to the hospital with Melanie first. I don’t want to disturb you lovebirds, in case you end up forcing me to be the third wheel again.” 

He turned and left while muttering to himself. The woman was quite possessive, sending him away even after doing the same with Melanie. 

Melanie arrived at the hospital first, and Theodore followed shortly after. After greeting each other, he went to the office while Melanie proceeded to the ward. 

Peachie was receiving intravenous therapy again. Her palm–sized face was devoid of any color, and her lips were cracked, showing signs of dehydration. She was dressed in a large hospital gown that hung on her like a sack 

Peachie saw Melanie and smiled. “How do you feel today? Does it hurt?” Melanie asked. 

Peachie shook her head. “No.” 

Melanie did not mention Dylan in front of Peachie at all. Being obedient, Peachie did not insist on seeing her mother either. However, the two sisters were not particularly close, so there was not much for them to talk about. 

After sharing the incident with Melanie last night, Peachie went back to her reserved and reticent self today. 

Melanie sat with her for a while before getting up. “I’m going to look for the doctor.” 

Peachie’s long–term hospitalization was inevitable. Even though Melanie was not particularly concerned, some things needed clarification. 

Coming up to the office door, she heard Theodore’s voice as he said, “We’ll cover Peachie Chapman’s medical expenses and do our best to cooperate with the hospital for her treatment. 

Melanie’s brows furrowed. Just as she was about to enter the office, she heard him continue, The entire foundation is concerned about this matter, and you’re aware of the situation with the foundation. The Jepton company is also involved.” 

“That’s natural. Peachie Chapman is the first patient in the hospital to be sponsored. This has also attracted the attention of many other foundation members. We all know this.”

Melanie knocked on the door. Theodore turned around, his expression changing when he saw her. “Why are you here? Weren’t you going to stay with Peachie?” 

Melanie replied, “I heard about the foundation just now. As Peachie’s current guardian, I want to get more information on it. Is that okay?” 

“Sure, that’s okay. I’ll send you a detailed report later,” Theodore said. 

Melanie stayed to ask the doctor some questions before returning to the ward. When she came back, Eugene and Viola had already arrived. Only Viola was in the ward while Eugene was nowhere to be seen. 

Viola sat by Peachie’s bed. Her head was lowered as she was cutting some fruit for her. Peachie sat on the bed, face still pale. When she saw Melanie enter, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. 

Hearing footsteps, Viola turned around and saw Melanie. Putting on a faint smile, she said, ” Melanie, why weren’t you in the ward just now? Peachie is still a little girl. What if something happened?” 

She handed the fruit to Peachie, who hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
