Chapter 784
Melanie was probably not in the mood to see anyone.
Xander lowered his eyes to give this some thought before standing up to go upstairs.
Melanie did not sleep when she got upstairs. She just needed some peace and a space where no one could disrupt her.
When the report came out, she felt an explosion going off in her mind. It was difficult to accept the
situation.
Now that she had calmed down, Melanie felt only bitterness in her heart as she caressed her stomach.
The doctor’s sympathy and sighing tone echoed in her ears. The words ‘induce labor‘ stabbed her hard in the heart.
Little Merry.
Her Merry.
Why did things turn out this way?
Melanie stayed in her room in a muddled condition. The entire room was dark. It was only when she heard knocking on the door that she eventually snapped out of it.
She got up to open the door. As the room was quite dim, she almost crashed into the door.
It took her quite a while to feel her way toward the door. Melanie closed her eyes as the bright light from outside instantly shone inside.
When she opened her eyes, Xander was standing outside the door. She could not ignore the concerned look in his eyes. “You should come downstairs to have some food before you go to sleep. It would be better for you.
He did not say anything more than that. All he did was look at Melanie calmly and gently.
Melanie saw the concern.in his eyes and nodded silently before following Him downstairs..
There was no one in the living room, but dinner was already on the table.
The food was light and suited Melanie’s taste buds.
Melanie sat at the table. She was still looking a little dazed when she asked Xander, “Where’s everyone?”
That was when she realized how hoarse she sounded.
“They have appointments outside.” Xander put a warm bowl of chowder in front of her and said softly, “I talked to some friends this afternoon. They told me that it’s normal to be diagnosed with malformed babies.

“There are many factors that affect the medical results. For example, your diet and stress level would
be factors.
“Also, one medical check–up doesn’t guarantee anything. You need to take proper care of yourself wet back to good health. The res might be very different when you conduct the test again.”
Nander placed his phone in front of Melanie after that. “This is our chat history and the past cases my friends encountered. You can have a look.”
Melanie stared at Xander and decided to take his advice. She looked at his phone.
Meanwhile, at the Scotts‘ residence, Eugene came back right in time to see Cedric’s upset face. Cedric slammed a file on the table, “Why didn’t you tell me about buying over Rockwater?”
Eugene looked at the file and said tauntingly, “I’m just doing whatever is within my capability. Besides, this was handled by a branch of the company. I don’t think I need to report it to you.
Cedric stared at him sharply and coldly. Eugene was unperturbed. “I’ll be leaving if there’s nothing else.”
Another file was flung in front of Eugene as Cedric sneered.
There was clear disdain and arrogance on his face. “I’ve said before that I’ll help you handle Melanie Smith if you don’t know what to do about her…‘
Eugene paused. He lowered his eyes to look down at the file. His eyes widened when he saw the name on it, and his head snapped up to look at Cedric.
Cedric grunted coldly. “Even if this child is yours, I won’t allow a malformed baby to take the Scott
name.”
