Chapter 613
Melanie pursed her lips and looked away. She put the ointment somewhere she could reach and stopped beside Eugene.
The wound on his shoulder was from the back to the upper front of his collarbone. Moreover, the scratches were scattered. When Melanie applied the ointment, she had to first dry the water droplets around the wounds with the cotton bud.
She naturally went closer to Eugene when she was focused. With Eugene sitting on the couch, Melanie could not look for suitable positions.
Melanie sat on a chair by the bed. She looked at the wounds as she cleaned them. Eugene lay with his face facing up. He supported his body with his back and abdominal muscles, and it showed his muscle strength around his waist. Moreover, his abdominal muscles were obvious as he was flexing them. The loose towel covered his private parts vaguely, making him look sexier.
Melanie happened to see this when she lifted her head.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked away and said calmly, “Ask Lee to bring you some anti–infection medicine when he returns. It’ll be bad if the wounds are infected.”
“Okay.”
Maybe because Eugene was lying down, he sounded a little lazy, and his voice was deeper.
He glanced at Melanie casually. Melanie happened to be lowering her head and applying the ointment on him. Her long hair was tied in a ponytail, revealing her beautiful neck.
Eugene felt a strange feeling rising, and he looked away slowly.
When he felt nothing on his shoulder, he saw that Melanie had lifted her head to say, “It’s done. Don’t put on your clothes yet.”
Eugene looked at her.
Melanie realized what she had said and added, “Wearing the clothes will wipe off the ointment. You won’t be leaving this room anyway.”
Eugene showed no expression. He had been in this state since they left the hospital.
Chapter 613
Melanie said, “I’ll excuse myself, then. I’ll call Lee later and ask him when he’ll be back. You can look for him if you need help.”
She arranged everything for him, yet Eugene said indifferently, “I’m not a bad boss to make Lee look after me even when he’s injured himself.”
Melanic froze. “Why don’t I tell the receptionist about this, then?”
Eugene stared at her. His chest heaved as the muscles around moved along. His figure was perfectly built.
Melanie knew Eugene had the perfect body. She had even slept with him. However, she still tried to look away when she saw his exposed body.
She was too focused when she was applying the ointment. Now that there was nothing for her to do, she felt awkward looking at him.
Eugene drooped his eyes and hid his emotions. He said, “Has Matthew’s father always been in Oskon City?”
Melanie looked at Eugene, meeting his eyes. Her brows were furrowed together. Why do you ask this?”
((
“I’m just curious.” Eugene sounded calm. He moved his wounded arm, and his muscles bulged.
“Matthew got to know the Qaisa family as Nicole’s boyfriend. Then, Gerardo favored Matthew and got Matthew an internship in his company…”
Eugene paused. “I investigated him, but there’s nothing specific about his family background. I thought he was from a poor family, but it seems like that’s not the case.”
He was frank, thinking it was alright for Melanie to know this.
Melanie was startled. “There’s nothing about Howard in what you’ve investigated about Matthew?”
“Not only him, there’s nothing about Matthew’s mother either.”
