The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

He showed Melanie the plate of fruits. “Don’t worry. | cut the fruits into tiny pieces, and they're all fresh and clean.”

Melanie looked at it. They did seem perfectly fine.

As she went downstairs, she passed Dr. Wells’s office. Eugene was no longer inside.

The rain was much lighter now. When she arrived at the villa, Reny and the others were still playing games in the living room. Xander was nowhere to be seen. Oliver said that he was working on the design drafts in the study.

Melanie was busy all day and did not stay downstairs for long before returning upstairs to rest.

She had been sleeping poorly for the past few days. She was worried about disturbing Reny, so she had tidied up a small room and moved there instead.

When she returned to her room, she took out her phone and looked at the large sum of money in her account.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

After a while, she searched the profiles of several of Jepton’s most prolific neurosurgeons online. Although they were not as famous, their resumes were promising.

Melanie took screenshots of the doctors’ profiles and sent them to Dr. Wells, who responded quickly.

Of the four doctors Melanie had proposed, two were out of town attending academic conferences, and one was now focused on academic work, only going to the hospital on Wednesdays.

The last one was also the director of Paramount Hospital. He had gone overseas to a learning trip some time ago and might only be back in a few days.

“If the patient’s condition is stable, we can wait for Dr. Zepto to come back. That's if there are no emergencies,” Dr. Wells said. Her grandfather’s condition had been very stable for the past few days, and Melanie’s heart finally calmed down a little.

She paused for a moment and subconsciously reached under her pillow, looking for the good luck charm that her grandfather had given her in the past.

When Melanie was young, she was prone to falling sick. Every year, her grandfather would get her a new good luck charm and hide it under her pillow. He said that this way, she would feel better soon.

After all those years, she had also developed a habit of keeping a charm under her pillow. However, she could not find anything now.

Melanie’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered that her grandfather replaced her good luck charm every year, because he said it would only work for a year at a time.

When her grandfather gave her the good luck charm this year, she had been busy with work at

the office. After she received it, she had been so swamped that she forgot to bring it home.

Melanie’s eyes darkened.

However, she had no choice but to call Yana and briefly explain the whole chain of events. She asked Yana to help her find the good luck charm when she went to the office tomorrow,

However, Yana said helplessly, “I'll help you look for it now. I’m still at the office.”

“Why are you still at the office this late at night?”

Yana took the opportunity to complain. “Melanie, you don’t know this, but Viola has returned to the secretariat again. She was in the CEO's office for the past few days, right? But in the end, she came back today.

“As soon as she came back, she made a mistake in a very important document. Now, we’re all busy cleaning up her mess.’

Melanie was not very interested in what Viola was doing. She only asked Yana to help find her charm before ending the call. Melanie woke up a few more times in a daze that night until she was completely woken up by the phone ringing in the morning.

She fumbled for her phone and saw that the caller was Dr. Wells. Melanie sat up immediately.
