Chapter 587
Melanie’s hand clenched tight on the towel and she slowly looked up at Eugene.
He was looking at her too but he was leaning against the headrest of the bed while Melanie was standing. She looked down at him from where she stood.
Melanie paused for a moment and she placed the towel on the table beside the bed. “I’m going downstairs.”
“Do you still remember?” His deep voice spoke slowly as it tingled drunkenly in the air. Eugene frowned and he looked a little pale.
He did not look at Melanie. He paused before saying, “You said before that you wanted to name our child Emery.”
Eugene sounded like he was really drunk. He did not look at Melanie and his Adam’s apple moved up and down as he spoke.
This struck a chord with Melanie and she glanced at Eugene with a complicated look in her eyes. She forced back the bitterness in her heart.
She was reminded of when she once dreamed of having a child.
Little Emery.
It was a little combination of the ‘E’ and ‘M’ in both their names.
She clenched her fists and exhaled slowly. Melanie looked at Eugene with determination and obstinance. She said very clearly, “You’re drunk, Eugene.” (1
“I could be. I can’t stop thinking of the past,” his voice was calm as he raised his hand to cover his
eyes.
Melanie paused. “What’s there to think about?”
When she walked out of the room, she saw the front desk staff delivering some hot soup for his hangover. Melanie was feeling a little irritable.
She returned to her room to enjoy the breeze on the balcony.
Eugene had too much to drink that night. She was not really bothered by it but when he mentioned little Emery, it pulled on some emotional strings.
After all, the baby was something Melanie had once dreamed of.
She lowered her head and reached out to caress her tummy. Melanie found it miraculous that there was a new life inside of her.
Melanie was about to leave the balcony when her phone rang. It was Lee calling.
“I just came back to the hotel and Mr. Scott isn’t feeling too well from drinking too much. Do you

know what sort of medication he takes at times like this, Melanie?”
2/2
Lee had only been working alongside Eugene for a short time and Eugene does not usually drink so much, which was why he did not really have an idea of what to do.
Melanie said, “You can ask him directly.”
“He’s not doing very well right now.”
Melanie took a deep breath and said quickly in a low voice, “When I walked him back to the room, I called the front desk about it. They will deliver the medication later. There’s an instruction manual included that you can read before giving it to him.”
“Also, hot soup has already been delivered to help with his hangover. He can’t take the smell of peach after he gets drunk, and he…”
Melanie listed out a list of what to look out for after Eugene got drunk. However, she said it in a very flat tone. At the end, she added, “Please don’t ask me about this again in the future.”
Before Lee could reply, Melanie hung up.
Lee held the phone in his hand as the busy tone buzzed in his ear. He was about to do as Melanie instructed and get some water for Eugene.
The moment he turned, he saw Eugene standing not far behind him.
Lee coughed in embarrassment, “Mr. Scott.”
Eugene looked a little pale. He stared at Lee’s phone and asked in a quiet tone, “What did she say?”
Melanie did not sleep well that night. She kept dreaming of a little girl calling her ‘Mommy’, and she
said her name was little Emery.
When she woke up from that dream in a daze, it was already morning.
She looked at the time. It was seven-thirty.
Melanie dragged her exhausted body to wash up. While she was brushing her teeth, Yvonne called her. “I’ve already made arrangements for what you talked to me about.”
This bewildered Melanie. “What did we talk about?”
“It’s not important. You’ll find out later. Someone will be there in the afternoon.”
Yvonne was secretive about this and this puzzled Melanie even further.
The summit would continue for a few more days and Melanie had to see Fuller and the others today as
well.
