Chapter 727_The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )

Chapter 727 

 Yvonne had spoken quite loudly. Before Mnie could even react, the others were already approaching them.

 “1” Yvonne was about to speak again when Mnie silently pushed past everyone and headed downstairs. Her mind had been nk the past few seconds, but now, her senses wereing back to

 her.

 Acting swiftly, Xander immediately followed her downstairs. When they arrived at the hospital, it was evident that the police had also been notified. They were standing guard at the door of the ward, a picture of seriousness.

 James, who had been in contact with Mnie, nced at her and said solemnly, “She jumped from the second floor, but her fall was cushioned by the trees below. She sustained injuries to her arms and legs, but her vital organs are intact. The doctors are still assessing the situation.” 

 “Where did she jump from?” Hospital windows were strictly regted, with only small openings allowed. Moreover, Dn was brought in by the police, and the doors were watched all the time. It was impossible for her to leave the ward.

 James‘ expression instantly turned grim. “She removed the window limiter. 

 Dn’s timing was quite strategic. She had chosen a time when everyone was rxed and had their guard down. When she was discovered, she had already climbed onto the window ledge.

 Mnie watched the video footage James gave her. It showed Dn sitting on the window ledge, her hair and clothes disheveled as she spoke incoherently. Suddenly, her view was blocked, followed by the sound of a phone screen locking.

 Xander looked down at her, his voice low as he whispered, “Don’t look.” His palm felt slightly warm

 over Mnie’s eyes. It blocked out the part where Dn jumped.

 Xander’s scent was different from Eugene’s cold cedar one. It was fresher, with a hint of mint. Mnie could not help but feel her eyshes tremble as Xander’s palm brushed against her.

 Xander felt a slight itch on his palm and instinctively retracted his hand, tucking it by his side. He lowered his gaze to conceal any unusual emotions that had appeared in his eyes before ncing at Mnie again.

 Clearing his throat, he asked James, “Did she say why she suddenly did this?”

 “We asked her why she did it when we rescued her, and she said she’s a sinner. She said no one will forgive her and that she doesn’t deserve to live anymore,” James replied.

 Mnie’s expression instantly darkened. She waited outside the ward for half an hour before the door finally opened. “How’s the patient?” she asked as she approached the doctor.

 “Her external injuries aren’t severe, but she can’t handle emotional stress,” the doctor said while looking at Mnie. “It’s best for family members not to say anything that could upset the patient.”

 After the doctor left, Mnie stood at the door of the ward for a while before entering. Despite

 preparing herself mentally beforehand, seeing Dn lying on the hospital bed covered in injuries still choked her.

 When Dn saw hering in, an ugly smile appeared on her scratched–up face. She looked at Mnie with tear–filled, murky eyes. She extended her bandaged hand toward her. “Mel, you’vee to see me. Do you forgive me?”

 Her voice was pleading and filled with desperation. She was looking at Mnie with such a poignant gaze that anyone would feel heartbroken.

 Mnie just looked at her silently as she observed the wounds on Dn’s body. She straightened her fingers that were by her sides and asked calmly, “Dn, what exactly are you trying to do?” Dn paused, panic shing in her eyes. “I… Mel, I just want to atone for what I’ve done.”
