Melanie calmed down slightly and looked at Eugene. “How did you get the
news?”
“William said Cedric went after you two,” Eugene replied hoarsely.
“Yeah.” Melanie looked at Meredith and said dryly, “Thank you.”
If it were not for Eugene's arrival, Cedric would not have let them off. Who knew
what he might have done to Meredith?
Eugene felt a bitterness in his heart when he heard what Melanie said. “It's my
fault.” It was because of him that Melanie and Meredith were in danger. If it were
not for him, Cedric and William would not have focused their attention on them.
He raised his gaze to the top floor of the hotel, a cold gleam passing through his
eyes as his lips tightened for a moment. The hostility that had just receded
surged again.
Meredith's abrupt sobs interrupted his thoughts. He looked over and noted that
her face had turned pink as she gripped Melanie's clothes uneasily. Melanie tried
to comfort her, but Meredith looked like she was becoming increasingly
uncomfortable.
Eugene’s heart constricted, and he subconsciously reached out to touch
Meredith's head. He did not dare to be too rough. His palm barely touched the
top of the little girl's head as he was afraid of frightening her.
Inevitably, a few strands of hair on Meredith's head came in contact with his
palm. They were so soft, so soft that Eugene found it somewhat unreal.
Meredith unexpectedly sensed his touch and lifted her head. Her eyes were clear
and innocent as she stared at Eugene expectantly.
Eugene felt like he could not breathe at that moment. It was the first time he had
made eye contact with Meredith since he found out she was his biological
daughter. It was the first time he sensed the wonder that came with another life in
the world sharing his
blood.
He had never really looked at Meredith properly before but had heard from the
elders and Simon that she looked a lot like him. He thought Meredith resembled
Melanie more, though. Her eyes especially looked exactly like Melanie's—lively
and beautiful.
Eugene’s hand trembled as it rested on Meredith's head. He failed to notice that
Meredith, who had been crying earlier, had stopped crying and was staring at
him.

It was not until Melanie's phone suddenly rang that Eugene's thoughts were
interrupted. Yvonne was the one calling. “Are you okay? I'm on my way to the
hotel. I was thinking I'd call the police immediately if I couldn't reach you.
“Cedric didn’t do anything to you guys, did he? I called Stephen, but he’s in
Oskon.”
Yvonne sounded like she was on the verge of tears. Melanie briefly explained
what had happened to calm her down.
After finally hanging up the phone, Melanie heard Eugene say, “Let's go to the
hospital first. I'll take you back to the hotel after that.”
Meredith had gone through a scare, so Melanie did not refuse. Meredith went
through an examination at the hospital. Eugene then brought Melanie into
another ward and said, You got a wound on your hand.”

However, it was not a serious injury and was just a minor bump. “I don’t need
medication. It'll be fine in a couple of days.”
“You injured your wrist before in a car accident. You also injured this arm several
times. You should be more careful,” Eugene said, not allowing her to argue as he
pulled her into
the ward.
