Chapter 710
Melanie was in the rain and looked into Eugene’s eyes. However, she looked away quickly. The rain drenched her clothes and hair.
The girl was still concerned about Hugh’s wound. Lee helped Hugh and said, ” Melanie, open the door.”
Melanie’s lowered eyelashes fluttered as she whispered to Eugene, “Thank you.” She then opened the car door, and Lee helped Hugh into the car.
There was nothing to be embarrassed about. Lee would not have come over to help if he had not gotten Eugene’s permission.
Moreover, Hugh sprained his ankle. Eugene’s car was right here, so it was the best choice to go with him.
After helping Hugh, she wanted to get into the car from the other side, but Lee was a step quicker than her. Thus, she could only sit in the front passenger seat.
Just as she was about to open the door, the girl called out timidly.
Melanie turned around, and the girl said, “Miss, can you please lend me your phone? I’ll call my dad here. He’ll compensate you for the medical fees.”
Everyone was occupied with helping Hugh, and Melanie herself forgot about the girl.
She saw that the girl’s raincoat was smudged with mud, and her school uniform was stained.
Her face was dirty, and her hair was also messy.
Melanie froze for a moment. She wanted to speak, but she saw Eugene getting out of the car and approaching her.
He glanced at Melanie, who took a step back subconsciously.
Eugene opened the car door and said, “Get in. I’ll take over from here.”
Melanie looked at Eugene’s cold face. His brows were furrowed, showing his displeasure.
He stretched out his arm and coldly reminded her, “It’s raining, and it’ll be troublesome if you catch a cold.”
The rain was not heavy, but it was drizzling. One could get drenched in just a few seconds.
Melanie’s hair and winter coat were already wet. She felt the warm air in the car
as soon as she got in. She pursed her lips as she looked out the window.
Eugene was standing under the rain in his high–end suit. The rain drenched it, bit by bit.
He was looking at the girl and talking to her. A veranda was not far away. Eugene took the gll there once Melanie got into the car.
It was a small veranda, enough only for one person to stand. Thus, he stood outside and blocked the rain so that the raindrops would not fall on the girl.
After a few minutes, he turned around and walked over. He looked less intimidating under the rain.
He knocked on the window and beckoned Lee to leave the car. “Her parents will be here in a while. Stay with her and take her to the hospital for a check–up when her parents arrive.”
Then, Eugene got into the car. Rain sprinkled on the seat when he entered.
He pondered before asking, “Do you mind if I turn on the heater?”
Melanie did not answer and handed him a packet of tissue. Looking ahead, she said calmly, “Wipe yourself with this.”
Hugh’s sprained ankle was not severe, and he would be fine after recuperating. However, the wound on his leg was long and deep. It needed to be stitched. When his wound was being handled, Eugene and Melanie were waiting outside.
The hospital was warm, and Melanie was wearing thick clothes. Only her coat was drenched.
Melanie felt better after resting for a while.
