The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

William said gently, “You’re still recovering, Eugene, so why did you leave your room? The chairman was worried sick about you. He’s been waiting here since this morning”

Eugene did not look at him. His voice was flat. “Lee should have told you all. I don’t want any visitors.

“You impudent bastard!” Cedric barked, infuriated by his cold indifference. “Eugene Scott, are you looking down on me?!”

Eugene looked at him calmly. “You’re overthinking things.”

Cedric’s chest heaved. Eugene was clearly lying. The boy had gotten even more rebellious after gaining the Hendersons‘ support!

However, he remembered the real purpose of his visit today and forced himself to suppress Have you recovered from your injuries?”

rage.

Eugene looked at him.

Cedric continued, “Timothy was young and reckless. What he did was wrong, but you’ve taught him a

lesson.”

The implication was clear. He wanted Eugene to step back and let Timothy out of prison.

William stood next to Cedric. He looked very much like Cedric when he was young. When the two of Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

them stood together, everyone knew that they were father and son.

He also advised Eugene, “The Harmons are still our business partners, after all. I know it’s common for hot–blooded young people to get into minor brawls. No harm done.”

William was trying his best to persuade him. Those who did not know better would think that he was

very close to Eugene.

Eugene smiled mockingly. “If this is what you call ‘no harm done‘, why don’t you have a minor brawl with Timothy yourself, Mr. Thames?”

When Melanie followed Simon upstairs, the door of Eugene’s ward was still ajar. She happened to hear Eugene’s words.

The atmosphere in the ward was tense. The two sides were probably in a deadlock, and no one looked particularly happy.

It was also the first time she saw William. He looked so much like Cedric that she could tell at a glance that he was Cedric’s son.

Hearing her footsteps, Eugene looked over and frowned. His voice was cold. “What are you doing here?”

Melanie was about to speak when Cedric roared, “Eugene! Don’t forget that your last name is still

Scott!”

Eugene said coldly, nodding at William, “You can change his last name to Scott if you want.”

“You–1” Cedric was furious. Without looking, he grabbed something beside him and threw it at Eugene. “You wretched son!”

It all happened so quickly. By the time everyone realized what was happening, the cup of boiling hot tea had already hit Eugene.

Eugene groaned, his face turning pale for a moment.

However, Eugene had just turned to look at Melanie. When he heard the commotion behind him, he instinctively turned sideways, so the cup of tea hit him squarely in his wound.

The doctors and nurses immediately rushed over. Eugene’s wound was very long and had yet to fully heal. After the cup smashed into it, the wound opened up a little, and the blood that flowed out dyed the gauze red.

Moreover, because the wound was now stained with tea, they were worried it would be infected.

Cedric and William did not stay for long, either. Soon, they stormed off with Eason in tow.

Melanie looked into the ward, lost in thought.

On the other hand, Simon lowered his head and laughed mockingly. He casually told Melanie, “You can keep waiting here. I’m leaving.”

Without waiting for Melanie’s reply, he left.

He had seen everything very clearly from where he stood. Eugene had instinctively evaded that cup at first, but then he had deliberately turned back and took the brunt of the hit with his wound.
