The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Xander left for an entire week. He would contact Melanie in the beginning to tell her about his mother’s condition.

However, he gradually got busy after a while, and his contact with Melanie lessened tremendously. Oliver eventually took over the responsibility of the studio.

Yvonne heard from Liana that Xander’s mother had jumped off a building in mental distress when the doctors were not looking. She hit her head, and it sounded like her condition was quite serious. Melanie was worried, but she did not ask Xander about it because she did not want to disturb him.

However, now that she was looking at the decorations in the room, she felt embarrassed–especially with the huge heart drawn on the wall.

She must have been crazy to do such a thing only young women would do. Melanie quickly got a cleaning company to clean up the room.

Melanie finally decided to make a trip back to Jepton in March.

Xander still had not returned, but he began contacting Melanie again. However, he sounded exhausted every time he talked to Melanie on the phone.

Melanie brought Merry with her back to Jepton. Merry was almost one and was already able to call

Melanie Mom.

She had also recorded a clip of it and saved it in her cloud storage.

Yvonne wanted to hug Merry when she came to get them at the airport. “Let me give you a kiss, Little Merry. I’ve been bullied so badly by society.”

Merry turned her head away in disdain.

It was the weekend, and Melanie got Yvonne’s help to take care of Merry while she visited her grandparents.

She did not expect something to happen during this time.

Yvonne called her urgently on the phone. “Come to the hospital, quick! Merry is hurt!”

She sounded angry and anxious. Yvonne had planned to take Merry straight home, but the owner of a bar wanted her to stop by to get something. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was something she had left at the bar. She planned to leave after collecting it, so she brought Merry

inside as well.

She did not expect there would be people having a drinking contest inside.

Two drunkards got into a fight, and Merry’s head was hit amidst the chaos. She also suffered a cut on the arm.

Yvonne felt extremely bad and apologized to Melanie the moment she saw her. “This is my fault. I shouldn’t have taken her to a place like that. I didn’t think there would be anyone in the bar.”

Melanie ignored her and went straight to check on the sleeping Merry.

Merry was well taken care of at home, so she had fair and tender skin. Any minor wound was easily seen on her. Her head was bandaged, and her eyes were swollen from crying. There were still tears on her eyelashes. She looked extremely pitiful.

Melanie asked Yvonne, “Where are those fighting drunkards?”

“They’re negotiating with the police in the office,” Yvonne replied. “The police want to see Merry’s family. I’ll take care of her while you go over.”

The strong stench of alcohol overcame Melanie the moment she pushed open the office door. That was when she saw the arrogant red–haired man.

She looked at his face and recognized him to be Timothy.

He was the scion who threw firecrackers at her up on the mountain.

Her voice was grim. “I’m Meredith Smith’s mother. You can talk to me.”

Timothy looked up at her with disdain. “You again?”
