Chapter 711
Eugene stood beside her. He had already removed his drenched coat and draped it
on his arm.
The vest and the pants made him look casual yet charismatic.
Melanie said after a while, “Thank you for what you did today.”
Eugene glanced at her. His hair was wet and covered his forehead, making him look younger.
Glancing at Melanie, he asked in a hoarse voice, “Why are you thanking me?”
“Thank you for driving Hugh to the hospital.”
Eugene looked away and said expressionlessly, “I don’t know him well.”
What he meant was he helped out because of Melanie.
His voice was clear in the crowded corridor.
Melanie looked at the signboard and said nothing more.
No matter what, Eugene had helped out, and she had to thank him for it.
After Hugh got his wound attended, Lee came with the girl and a middle–aged couple.
The girl pointed at Hugh and said timidly, “Uncle, it’s this man.”
The middle–aged man approached and took a look at Hugh. He quickly spotted Hugh’s wounded leg. He immediately started apologizing profusely.
“I’m so sorry, young man. My niece didn’t do it on purpose. The brakes of her bicycle weren’t working for some reason, and it just so happened to be a rainy day.”
He took out his wallet and stuffed a stack of money into Hugh’s hand. “I’ll pay for your medical fees, and you can buy some supplements with the rest of the money. Candy, apologize to this young man.”
Candy nodded and approached Hugh. She apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, sir. It’s my bad.”
Then, she looked at Melanie and Eugene. “Sir, Miss, I’m sorry for startling you and making you get wet in the rain.”
Candy was adorable, and her voice was cute too. Moreover, she apologized sincerely.
Melanie paused for a moment before patting Candy’s shoulder and asking, “Are you injured?”
Candy stretched her arm, showing her wounded palm. The scratches looked obvious on her flawless skin.
Frowning, Melanie checked Candy’s palms. Right as she was about to speak, the middle–aged woman said, “Candy is a brave girl. She was worried about hurting you all and came over hastily to apologize.”
Georgia Grant shook her head and looked at Candy lovingly. “This is the first time Candy rode a bicycle to school. We refused to let her take the bicycle, but she colluded with the driver and went to school by bicycle.
‘Fortunately, she met you guys. If she had fallen while on the road, we wouldn’t have found out.”
Melanie looked at Candy’s palm and thought about it before taking out a bandage. She pasted it on Candy’s wound.
She said, “You have to protect your hands.”
Candy blinked and blushed as she said, “Thank you.”
When Jackson left with Candy, she kept turning around and looking at Melanie with her bright eyes. She seemed delighted.
Melanie did not think too much about it. After Candy left, she looked at Hugh and asked, “Are you alright?”
Hugh’s leg was wrapped in bandages, and his face was still pale. “To be honest with you, I don’t feel good.”
Then, after a pause, he added, “I might feel a little better if I can get another ride. in a Bentley.”
