THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 5 Episode 11

Peachie seemed to have been holding back for a long time. She could not stop herself from weeping. As she was on a drip and her hands had been moving, some blood flowed back into the tube.

Melanie’s focus was still on what Peachie had just said. Her mind was a mess, but she stared into Peachie’s eyes as she said, “Repeat what you just said.”

Peachie was choked as she looked at Melanie with her red eyes. Her face was small, and she looked skinnier as if she had not eaten. It made Melanie wonder if Dylan even fed Peachie properly.

Her cheekbones were protruded, making her eyes look bigger. Melanie sighed as she touched Peachie’s head. “Don’t be afraid. Tell me whatever you know.”

Peachie was only a kid, and she would naturally be afraid. Although she had not had much contact with Melanie, she had been taught by Dylan that Melanie was a good sister.

That was why she cried as soon as she saw Melanie. “Daddy didn’t want to take Great-grandpa out for a walk.

“| saw him arguing with Great-Grandpa, and he hit Great-grandpa like he always hit me. Then, Great-grandpa’s oxygen mask fell.”

Peachie’s words startled Melanie. She looked at Peachie in shock.

The hospital had surveillance cameras, but they were only in public areas. Wards were not equipped with cameras to protect patients’ privacy.

The proof that got George arrested was that George had admitted it out of guilt. Dylan had also admitted it, along with other crimes that George had committed.

However, there were no surveillance cameras in the ward.

Peachie’s words would prove George guilty of killing Albert by accident.

Melanie’s heart sank as a flame of anger burned in her.

She closed her eyes, preventing herself from showing her emotions.

Melanie lowered her head and saw Peachie’s hand. She called the nurse to take care of the drip and left the ward.

Theodore was waiting for her outside. “Eugene called and told us to have dinner with him. The matter is quite troublesome on his side.”

Eugene’s information had fallen into the hands of the thugs in Hearth City. Maybe because George had told them something, they kept pestering Eugene.

Most importantly, LeapCo’s branch in Hearth City was also implicated. Those people were the thugs in the area and were difficult to deal with. They were shameless and bold.

Even after reporting the matter to the police, Eugene still had to deal with this personally.

Melanie knew it was the trouble caused by George, and she had to be responsible for it.

She followed Theodore to the doctor’s office, and the doctor remembered her. Melanie had asked for his help because she had to keep Dylan from misusing her money.

Dr. Leone handed her the document. “Peachie’s condition is bad, and the best solution is to admit her to the hospital for further treatment. However, her parents are not around, and | must ask her guardian about their plan for her.”

The police in Jepton sent Peachie back. Since it was her request, the doctors knew about her situation too. Melanie said, “Go on with the previous treatment. “But…” Dr. Leone seemed to have something else to say.

Melanie pondered before saying, “I’ll get her a caretaker. Just follow the usual procedure for her treatment. I’ll pay the medical fees. However, I’ll be in Jepton and might not come back often. So, please help me look after her.’

That was the best Melanie could do for Peachie.

Peachie was her sister, after all. She could not ignore Peachie’s health.
