Chapter 827
Melanie was surprised at first, having just seen the fireworks outside. She quickly
composed herself and smiled, saying, “Yes, Happy New Year.”
Xander withdrew his hand and showed Melanie the dirt on his fingers. “You might
have accidentally brushed against it just now.”
“It's okay,” Melanie said, not minding it. She also noticed she did not mind
Xander’s intimate touch. Perhaps Yvonne's constant nagging about finding a
man was starting to have an effect. Melanie. suddenly felt her heart speed up.
Xander's immediate and unwavering protection of her in such a situation
undoubtedly stirred something in Melanie's heart. It was true what they said
about the effectiveness of a bit of adrenaline during the first date.
She picked up the ointment the doctor delivered, wanting to apply it to Xander's
wounds. However, Xander noticed Eugene standing at the door.
“Mr. Scott?” Xander’s brows were slightly furrowed.
Eugene entered the ward expressionlessly. He gave off an imposing.aura with his
hand in his pocket. Although Xander’s injuries were not Eugene's doing, he was
guilty by association because the perpetrators were associated with him.
Melanie continued to apply the ointment to Xander’s wounds, her movements
delicate and gentle. Xander glanced at her and then looked up at Eugene. “Mr.
Scott, is there something you need at this late hour?”
Eugene nodded. His gaze swept over Melanie before he said, “Timothy will cover
your medical
expenses. You'll also receive additional compensation for nutritional expenses.
He'll also take care of all your expenses here. Is that acceptable to you?”
His words were aimed at resolving the issue. However, Melanie felt
uncomfortable listening to them. She stopped applying the ointment and looked
up, asking coldly, “And what about an apology?
“They injured Xander till he’s in this state, and they haven't even offered a simple
apology?”
All these scions seemed to have the same attitude—they all thought money could
solve all problems. Melanie was displeased, and her gaze on Eugene turned
even colder.
Eugene glanced at her with dark eyes and said calmly, “He has already left.”
Melanie was in disbelief. “He caused such a big trouble and sent you to
apologize while he took his leave?”
“He comes from a real estate background, and I've conveyed his attitude as well.
If you insist on an apology, I'll inform him again,” Eugene replied evenly, but it
was also a reminder to Melanie.
Melanie's expression was blank. She did not want to talk anymore.

Xander spoke up, “What about Melanie? They scared her pretty badly at the
beginning.”
Eugene looked at Melanie. She kept her head down while applying ointment to
Xander, her movements gentle and slow. It was as if she were cradling a
precious treasure.
