In the end, Mnie went to the hospital anyway.
Thanks to the wound on his back, Eugene could not lie down. He sat on the sofa in the ward
and
attended a video conference.
When he saw Mnie, he gestured to her. His posture was perfectly natural, as if he was not in
the
ward but in his office.
Feeling self–conscious about disturbing him, Mnie sat down beside him until the nurse came
in to change his dressing.
Mnie stood up. “I’ll head out first.”
As Eugene arranged his documents, he said, “And why would you do that?”
“You need to change your dressing, don’t you?”
Eugene’s expression was calm. He looked at theputer he had ced beside him and said,
“It’s not like you haven’t seen my body before.”
His nonchnce made Mnie feel even more awkward. She paused for a moment only to hear
the nurse say, “Miss, don’t go out yet. There are quite a few patients undergoing surgeries
today, so we don’t have enough hands on deck. Please help me get the bandages.

Eugene’s wound was not serious, but now that Mnie still frowned when she saw it with her own
eyes.

Eugene had a habit of working out. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. After he took off his
clothes with his back facing Mnie, his excellent figure was obvious to see.
Mnie, however, was only looking at the injured spot.
The wound was below his shoulder de. Although it was not deep, it was very long and covered in
stitches.
Eugene’s skin was fair, so the scar on his body stood out unpleasantly. Timothy had clearly intended
to kill him.
It did not take long for the nurse to change his dressing. After she left, she closed the door of the ward
behind her.
Eugene slowly put on the hospital gown again. His slender fingers moved lightly between the buttons of
the gown, from bottom to top, as if he was acting in slow motion.
Mnie nced at him. “What will you do with Timothy?”
Eugene’s injury had made the entire incident an extremely big deal, so the Scotts were left to decide
Timothy’s fate. After seeing the madness that man was capable of, Mnie wanted nothing more to do
with him. She did not dare to provoke him again.

Besides, his family was extremely powerful. They would get Timothy out of jail eventually. She could
not afford to cross them.
Eugene said, “His big brother came over from Nava to bail him out yesterday. The Harmons
spared no expense to save him.”
Mnie had expected as much. Timothy’s crimes in Nava alone showed the lengths his family
would go to to protect him.
After all, the Harmons had a reputation to uphold. It would be embarrassing if they could not
even protect Timothy.
However, even though she knew this oue was inevitable, she still did not like it. After all,
his actions had put Merry in danger and caused her significant distress.
To put it bluntly, Mnie was simply too insignificant to deter Timothy.
She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly.
Eugene took in Mnie’s expression and paused before saying, “I won’t let him get away with
it. That bastard is used to getting his way, but Jepton is not his backyard.”
Mnie raised her eyes and looked at Eugene with aplicated gaze. She caught the raging
anger and hostility in his eyes.
Eugene meant what he said. He pulled strings everywhere to keep Timothy from escaping. No
matter what the Harmons did, they could not get Timothy out of jail.
Cedric was furious. After all, LeapCo’s HQ had been working with the Harmons for a long time.
Yvonne told Mnie, “I heard that Eugene’s father was biased towards William Thames from the
start. Now, he’s not even pretending anymore. He clearly wants William to be his sessor. I
don’t know what he’s thinking. Eugene is his biological son, after all. How did things end up like
this?” Mnie had heard the name William Thames before. He was Cedric’s illegitimate son.
