Chapter 645
Melanie instinctively reached out to shove his arm away. Eugene looked at her coldly and
then stood up, holding her arm firmly to prevent her from falling again.
Melanie was so close to him that she could feel the slight rise and fall of his chest when he
spoke. His low voice was cold as he addressed Howard. “Thank you for showing me the full
extent of your so- called love for your daughter.”
Howard’s eyes widened in anger, but the moment he met Eugene’s glare, he trembled. He
timidly turned to Melanie and immediately regained his bravado again.
He snapped, “What are you talking about, you ungrateful girl? Who do you think I’m doing
this for? I’m doing this for you…”
The only response he got was the sound of the door of the private room being slammed
shut.
Melanie could not take it anymore. She pulled Eugene out of the private room. Howard’s
self- righteousness was unbearable. She felt even worse than when Dylan had come
looking for her.
Melanie left the private room and walked quickly to the lobby before stopping.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe clutched her chest, feeling as if someone had stuffed a ton of cotton into it. She could
barely catch her breath.
It was only when she slowly recovered that she remembered that she was still holding
onto Eugene’s
arm.
Eugene did not speak either. He lowered his eyes and waited for her to recover.
Eventually, Melanie slowly let go of him. She let out a frustrated breath and said in a very
low voice, I’m sorry about tonight…”

She organized her words, but she did not know what to say. In the end, she could only
swallow her words and frown in a daze.
After a while, she said, “You should head back to the hotel first. If Howard comes to look
for you again, just tell him the truth.”
She was wrong for getting Eugene involved in her messy relationship with her father.
The corners of Eugene’s eyes twitched as he looked at her. “You want me to tell him the
truth? Do you think he will stop even if he knows?”
Melanie subconsciously looked up and locked eyes with Eugene. The air froze for a
moment, and she could clearly see the darkness in his gaze.
Melanie did not know how to respond to that. In her heart, she knew that he was right.
After what Howard had done so far, it was not hard to imagine him behaving exactly as
Eugene had said.

Melanie did not want to think the worst of him, but Howard certainly did not look like the
man he
used to be anymore.
She moved her lips and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a pain in her
abdomen. Her face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Eugene saw the subtle changes in her face. Almost as soon as Melanie could not resist the
pain anymore and put her hand on her stomach, his eyes darkened. He reached out to
hold her shoulder protectively and said in a tone that did not allow for rejection, “Lee is
outside. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelanie did not refuse. She could feel that something was wrong with her body, and she
was not going to risk her baby.
Fortunately, it was past the evening rush hour, so it did not take long for them to get to
the hospital. Lee had gotten someone to contact a doctor from a private hospital in
advance, and they subjected Melanie to various tests and checkups as soon as she
arrived.
After everything was over, the nurses brought Melanie back to the ward to rest. Finally,
the doctor came over with the test results.
Melanie had been tense these past few days and had not rested well. In addition, she was
tired and worked up, so her baby had been affected. She needed some bed rest to
recuperate.
Before leaving, the doctor looked at Eugene and reminded him, “The patient is very weak
now. It’s best not to let her get agitated again. She should rest well for the next few days.
Don’t let her get out of bed if possible and don’t tire her out.”
He had assumed that Eugene was Melanie’s husband, so he explained everything in detail.
