Chapter 26

The next second, Eugene withdrew his hand. When the shadow over Melanie’s eyes disappeared, she

frowned slightly.

Eugene said playfully, “Did you think I wanted to have sex with you?”

Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

She asked Eugene, “Then what do you want to do?”

There was only a small night light turned on, so the room was dim. Eugene’s expression was

unreadable, but his voice was cold as he said, “Sleep.”

“This is my room.” Melanie said calmly, “You can book a separate room.”

“It’s too troublesome.”

Melanie paused slightly, turned over, and closed her eyes.

She was a light sleeper. Any noise would wake her up.

In the middle of the night, Eugene’s phone suddenly rang, piercing the silence in the room.

Melanie woke up with a frown. She opened her eyes and saw Eugene answering the phone. They were

on the same bed, so she could hear Viola’s cry over the phone. “Eugene, where are you? Can you

come to the Paramount Hospital? My father was in a car accident. He’s being treated there now. I’m so

scared.”

Melanie looked at Eugene, who frowned and said in a deep voice, “I’ll be right there.”

As soon as he hung up his phone, Eugene rubbed his temples and stood up. While getting dressed, he

told Melanie. “Book me a flight back to Jepton.”

Melanie pursed her lips and did not move. After a moment, she said, “The contract needs to be signed

tomorrow.”

This contract was very important to LeapCo. She raised her eyes and said, “You can transfer money to

her first, then go back after finalizing the contract.”

Eugene paused while putting on his clothes and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “Melanie, I don’t

want to repeat myself.”

He was obviously angry at her. Melanie grabbed the quilt and suddenly asked, “Eugene, you’re not just

playing with her, right?”

Melanie had never seen Eugene care so much about anyone. She had never dared to disturb Eugene

in the middle of the night.

Eugene had a bad temper, especially when his sleep was disturbed.

Eugene’s eyes were dark, and his tone was determined. “When have I said that I was just playing with

her?”

That was true.

It was just Melanie’s presumption that Viola was similar to the other women whom Eugene dated.

Melanie thought that Eugene would get bored of Viola within a month.

After Eugene left, Melanie could not sleep. She made a cup of tea

thinking about what Eugene had just said.

“Melanie, you bore me. Stop making assumptions about me and Viola.”

Melanie was only 18 years old when she started dating Eugene. Back then, she was no different from

Viola. She also loved to laugh and act coquettishly around Eugene.

However, Eugene had never pampered Melanie so much. He would not complete the

unfinished work for her, nor would he fire employees who bullied her just to stand up for her.

He would only tell her that he did not like to keep useless people around him.

Melanie held the railing, puzzled. She wondered if she was useless to Eugene now. 1

The client was upset when he did not see Eugene the next day. He scolded Melanie for more than an

hour before he signed the contract.

It was already 5:00 p.m. when Melanie returned to Jepton.

Melanie parked her car at the airport, got off the plane, and went straight to Paramount Hospital.

There was a nursing home attached to the Paramount Hospital, where Melanie’s grandfather lived.

Melanie’s grandfather raised her because her parents were divorced and had their own families. She

rarely had time to meet her grandfather.

Melanie’s grandfather was not in good health. He had been living in a nursing home ever since he got

into a car accident.

The nursing home and Paramount Hospital shared the same parking lot. Melanie had just parked her

car and opened the car door when she saw Viola and Eugene getting out of the car in front of her.

Melanie paused. She was so focused on parking her car that she did not notice Eugene’s car nearby.

Viola looked quite haggard with obvious dark circles on her face. She was stunned to see Melanie.

After a while, she reluctantly smiled and looked up at Eugene. “Did Melanie come here to see my dad

too?”
