The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 786

Chapter 786 

She confirmed the appointment with the hospital in a few short words and hung up. Melanie looked up at Xander very calmly. “I need to take a day off tomorrow to visit the hospital.” Xander paused, and the pen in his hand stopped scribbling. He replied in a low voice, “Alright.” 

Everyone knew why Melanie was going to the hospital. The entire living room turned silent, and no one said a word. 

Melanie was the first to break the silence. She looked down. Even though she tried her best to hide her emotions, it was not difficult to notice that her lips had turned pale. Her face had also become eveni thinner in the last few days. 

Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she sounded nervous. “I’m sorry to have interrupted everyone. Let’s continue the discussion.”

Xander glanced at her deeply. He flung the pen to the side. “We’ll stop here. Take a rest, everyone.” With that, he got up and slowly looked at Melanie. “How about coming along with me?” 

Xander did not lead Melanie too far away. They stopped at a bakery near the villa. 

The fragrance of wheat and butter filled the air when they walked inside. 

It was a very sweet smell, but it warmed the heart. 

Melanie asked, “Are you planning to buy dessert?” 

Xander glanced at her and said nothing. He led her directly toward the kitchen. 

The fragrance here was even thicker. Melanie felt like she was walking into a great big cake when she got inside. 

“I wasn’t planning on bringing you here yet. You have a check–up tomorrow and can’t have anything sweet today. But I thought it’d be nice to just bring you here to have a look,” Xander’s voice rang in 

Melanie’s ears. 

Before Melanie realized it, a chef’s hat was placed over her head. She was brought into a very small 

room. 

The fragrance of cakes here was different from the outside. There was something familiar about it to Melanie. It was the mixed smell of lemon and peppermint. 

Melanie looked up in a daze. Xander took out a lemon drop and placed it in front of her. He asked in a low voice, “Would you like to learn how to make lemon drops?” 

Before Melanie could answer, the door suddenly opened, and a cheerful laugh was heard. “It’s only been a few months since you learned how to make lemon drops and you already think you’re good enough to teach?”

Melanie looked up and saw a woman with a round face in a chef’s uniform leaning against the door. 

The woman’s words sank in, and Melanie looked at Xander in astonishment. “The candy you’ve been 

giving me 

Xander lowered his eyes. There was not much change to his expression. All he said was, “I just think that Merry might enjoy it. So, do you want to learn how to make it from me?” 

There was a steadfast and comforting look in his eyes that made Melanie pause. The heavy feeling in her heart gradually lifted. 

Everyone was looking forward to meeting her Merry. 

They were all happily awaiting Merry’s arrival. 

Everyone believed that everything would be okay. 

Melanie felt touched. Looking up at Xander, she said earnestly, “Thank you.” 

The next morning, Melanie went to retake the test. Xander wanted to accompany her, but Melanie insisted on going on her own. 

She had prepped herself up mentally the night before and had done a lot of homework online about amniocentesis. 

Melanie went straight to see the doctor. The doctor gave her a form and got her to prepare herself in an examination room. 

She followed the nurse, and they made several turns before arriving at the surgical floor. 

A woman was lying in bed as she got pushed out of the room. She looked very pale.
