Chapter 785
There was silence in the study, and an even sharper look appeared in Eugene’s dark eyes.
His gaze gradually lowered to the medical report. The name ‘Melanie Smith‘ was clearly printed on it. When he walked out of the study, Stella was sitting in the living room with a cup in her hand. She was wearing expensive silk pajamas, looking exactly like the rich wife she was.
She smiled slightly when she saw Eugene walking out. It felt like a taunting smile.
Stella called out to Eugene and put down the cup very slowly. She asked nonchalantly, “Where are you going?”
Eugene stopped and looked back at Stella.
It was rare for Stella to be asking him such a question. Their relationship as mother and son was left with only their relation by blood.
When Eugene turned back to look at her, Stella’s eyebrow raised slightly. The look in her eyes indicated that she was in a pretty good mood.
She asked Eugene, “Have you read the report? You must be shocked..
“Although, it’s fortunate that we insisted that she didn’t marry into the family. That’s a malformed baby inside of her. Who knows what other hidden diseases she may have…”
Stella had only spoken halfway when she met Eugene’s unfathomable eyes.
His eyes were deep and dark like the vast, limitless sea. They looked like they could drown anyone silently instantly.
Eugene looked at Stella, the air around him turning cold and distant. A raging storm was brewing inside his eyes as he said frostily, “Whose misery are you feeling delight over?”
Stella stared at him as her smile gradually froze on her face.
Melanie did not have much appetite that night. However, she felt much better after chatting with a few of Xander’s doctor friends.
Reny approached her when she saw Melanie looking more relaxed. “The weather tonight is pretty nice. Do you want to have a walk outside with me? You should enjoy some fresh air.
Melanie knew that Reny was trying to make her feel better. She nodded and went out with Reny.
It was cold outside, and Melanie pulled her coat around her tight. Reny said, “I was just telling Yvonne that she should visit a chapel when she returns. Now, it looks like I should visit a chapel first. and pray for Merry to be born safe and healthy.”
Melanie turned to look at Reny. It took a few seconds for Reny’s words to sink in. She asked, “What’s

wrong with Yvonne?”
Reny hesitated but quickly said angrily, “Yvonne and Carlisle’s engagement is officially off. She didn’t tell me much other than that, but something seemed wrong with the sound of her voice this morning.”
Reny suddenly changed the topic as she smiled at Melanie and said, “But everything will get better. I showed our photo to my mom when I was home, and she said you and Yvonne are blessed people.
“My mom is a really good judge of character. That’s why you shouldn’t worry. Nothing will happen to you.”
Melanie looked into Reny’s sincere and smiling eyes. She pursed her lips and nodded as she said, ” You’re right. Nothing will happen.”
There was still hope as she would be taking the test again.
What if there really was a chance that the previous report was wrong?
Melanie looked up at the dark blue sky. There was light in her eyes as she made a silent but sincere
prayer.
When a person was left with nowhere else to turn, they would find solace in the most abstruse things.
Melanie was the same as well.
When the hospital called for her to redo the screening test, Melanie was busy in discussion with Xander and the others about the progress of a new project.
She looked down at her phone and picked up the call calmly.
