The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 173 “Quick, come help! Viola got hit!” The chaotic voices outside filled the air, and people inside the house started rushing out, Melanie felt the temperature around Eugene drop instantly before he stepped out without any hesitation.

She remained where she was as she watched as everyone went out. Thinking that there were so many people out there already, she figured one less person would not make much of a difference.

Besides, the sudden downpour had darkened the sky, making visibility poor. It would not be a good idea for her to go out.

The room quickly emptied, leaving only a few scattered individuals whom Melanie did not recognize. At that moment, she received a message from Xander. After sending her reply, she noticed everyone had returned.

The room was once again lively.

Melanie saw Viola. Her face was pale, and her hair, wet from the rain, clung to her face. She looked like a delicate white flower. She leaned on Eugene as several people worried over her, walking her inside cautiously.

Thinking Viola might have injured her foot, Melanie moved aside to make way for the crowd to pass.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Viola was led to the sofa. Her expression was still fearful, but she managed to force a smile and softly thanked those around her, “Thank you all for worrying about me. I’m fine.” Joshua was the first to speak up, “Are you really okay? Maybe you should go to the hospital for a check

-up.

Joshua was sincerely worried. After all, he had invited everyone, and if anything happened, he would not be able to bear the responsibility. Simon also spoke up, saying, “With this kind of weather, there’s a risk of infection due to bacteria. It’s best if Eugene takes Viola to the hospital.”

Even though his tone was not much different from usual, there was genuine concern in it now. Melanie could not help but look up.

“Do you need to go to the hospital?” Eugene’s voice was low and soothing as he looked down at the wound on Viola’s palm, like he was comforting her.

Viola bit her lip and shook her head. All the color had been drained from her face, and she looked somewhat disheveled from the rain. Despite that, she maintained a stubborn yet understanding

expression.

“It's just a small cut. I'll be fine. You guys have fun. Don’t worry about me. I'll apply some medicine myself,” she said. Chapter 173

Joshua had already fished out a first aid kit from somewhere the moment she said that. “Apply the medicine quickly.”

With her clothes soaked by the rain, Viola was in an uncomfortable state. She bit her lip, feeling somewhat awkward. She asked, “Can | borrow your bathroom?”

One of the women present quickly realized the situation and urged Joshua to have the housekeeper find some of his sister’s clothes for Viola to change into. However, it was not convenient for Viola to change her clothes with an injured hand. She could only look to Eugene for help. Someone nearby jokingly said, “Oh, Eugene, go help Viola change. We'll wait for you

guys to come down.”

This immediately stoked laughter from the crowd, causing Viola to blush. She glanced at Eugene and hesitated. “Never mind, | can manage it myself.”

Eugene remained unfazed. “Your hand is injured.” Blushing even more, Viola suddenly noticed Melanie in the crowd and asked, “Melanie, can you help me?”

Melanie was about to refuse when another woman in the.group spoke up, “Then maybe you should get your wound treated after you change? Or it might make changing awkward later.”

Viola turned to Melanie, smiling. “I'd appreciate it, Melanie.”

Unable to say much against that, Melanie walked toward the guest room but did not see Viola following her after some time. She turned back, only to see Viola standing there, unmoving. Awkwardly, Viola looked at Melanie and asked, “Melanie, could you help support me a little?”
