THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 3 Episode 75

While waiting for Xander to arrive, Melanie saw Dr. Wells swiftly head downstairs with two interns. She

speculated that it was probably Dr. Hel who had come.

Yesterday, Dr. Well’s social media featured not only a photo with Dr. Hel but also several reposts of the

hospital’s public account reports. Authoritative experts were popular everywhere, especially in

neurology and brain–related surgeries.

Dr. Wells had been looking forward to meeting Dr. Hel for a long time.

Dr. Wells was almost at the elevator when he suddenly seemed to recall something. He turned back a

few steps, lowered his voice, and said to Melanie, “The seminar is starting in 15 minutes. Dr. Hel

should be resting downstairs now. If you want to try your luck, you can go.”

Melanie was momentarily stunned. She looked at Dr. Wells, but he was already hurrying off.

Melanie took a moment to understand what Dr. Wells was suggesting. She stood up, instinctively

glanced at her grandfather in the ward, and realized that she could not delay his situation any longer.

She also knew her grandfather would not want to remain in bed like this forever. He was a proud

person.

Melanie lowered her gaze, made a decision in her heart, and then walked toward the conference room

Dr. Wells mentioned.

In the conference room on the second floor, Howard was originally discussing a case with another

doctor when his phone suddenly rang. Despite being interrupted, he maintained his serious expression

and initially considered rejecting the call.

However, after seeing the caller ID, he patiently answered the call.

Melanie could not be sure what was said on the other end of the line as Dr. Hel’s expression became

increasingly stern. In the end, he even rebuked, “Sarah, you know I detest people telling me these

things!”

Sarah sighed somewhat helplessly. “Howard, we know each other. It’s just a small favor, and she’s

desperate to save a life. Why be so rigid?”

“I won’t help, no wonder who your friends are. This is my principle! If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging

up,” Howard said coldly and promptly ended the call.

Coincidentally, a doctor at the entrance suddenly called out, “Dr. Hel.”

Howard looked up, his expression increasingly serious. “What’s the matter?”

An intern came over and said, “There’s a family of a patient outside looking for you. They want you to

check on a patient’s condition.”

Howard was known for his strictness in the medical field but also had a reputation for being

compassionate. Many regarded him as a medical role model.

“Sure, let the family member in,” he said.

Just as he finished speaking, a steady female voice came from the entrance. “Dr. Hel.”

Howard looked up and saw Melanie standing there.

His eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a not–so–friendly tone, “Why is it you again?”

Melanie’s gaze dropped slightly, and she said slowly between breaths, “Dr. Hel, I want to apologize for

my attitude this morning. I sincerely request that you check on my grandfather’s condition personally.

“I’ve seen several surgeries conducted for patients with conditions worse than my

grandfather’s. I implore you to look at him.”

Her attitude was extremely humble now, and Howard’s brows gradually unfurrowed. Dr. Wells had

indeed briefed him on Melanie’s grandfather’s condition.

However, Howard had also heard from Stella that Melanie was a cunning woman who had been trying

to get close to Eugene to leverage the family’s influence and elevate herself.

Seeing him remain silent, a complicated emotion flashed in Melanie’s eyes. However, she lowered her

gaze and concealed these emotions.

“Mr. Scott, the director is inside now.” A voice suddenly came from outside, and Melanie hesitated.

Someone outside must have said something as one of the doctors in the meeting room suddenly

slapped his forehead. “Oh, I forgot. I have an appointment with someone from LeapCo to discuss

cooperation on a previous public welfare inspection project today.”

LeapCo was currently involved in a public bidding process, so they were working on building a positive

public image.

The director, Leone, was about to leave when Eugene, who had been standing by the door, entered.

His gaze swept over Melanie, and then he turned to Howard and called out in a low voice, “Uncle.”

Howard nodded, the displeasure on his face diminishing slightly. “The charity event you mentioned

yesterday, you intend to collaborate with Paramount Hospital?”

Eugene nodded. “The process is already underway.”

Realizing what was happening, Leone asked, “So, Mr. Scott is Dr. Hel’s nephew?”

Howard’s expression was stern. “Charity check–ups are not trivial matters. It’s a substantial scale.

You’ve worked hard.”

Leone smiled and waved his hand.

Despite not expecting Eugene to suddenly appear at the hospital, Melanie could care less about him

now. When she saw that the conversation was about to be diverted, she spoke up again,” Dr. Hel, can I

take up some of your time?”

Howard looked at her. Due to his perpetually stern expression, he seemed quite serious. Checking the

time, he said, “I’m sorry, the seminar starts in five minutes. I don’t think I have the time.

“And besides, instead of spending time here with me, why not spend more time with your grandfather?

He’s getting older. There’s no need to use up medical resources unnecessarily!” Sarah’s phone call just

now had soured Howard’s mood, and he could not help but vent some of his frustration on Melanie.

Thinking of Sarah’s words, Howard became angry again and immediately made his way to the nearby

lounge.

Due to Howard’s recent outburst, the conference room was now very quiet.

Melanie stood awkwardly in place with Eugene by her side. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Leone gently

touched his forehead and asked Eugene, “Shall we go to the office to talk?”

“Sure,” Eugene replied indifferently.

The man then turned to Melanie and said with some hesitation, “Miss, could you please go back for

now? We’re about to have a meeting here.”

Doctors were gradually entering the conference room.

Melanie bit her lip and prepared to leave. She could not help but feel a bit bewildered. As she walked

past Eugene, she suddenly heard him say in a flat tone, “I warned you not to think too highly of

yourself.”

Melanie’s steps faltered, and she glanced sideways at Eugene, who had an indifferent expression.

After leaving the conference room, Melanie felt like all the strength had left her body. She turned to a

corner of a wall, took a moment to collect herself, and then called Xander on her phone.
