Chapter 263

Frank fled to a nearby hospital to treat his injuries. He was a nuisance, crying out loud when they
tended to him. When Melanie arrived, Frank’s arın had been relocated, and the doctor had given him a
cast for his fractured wrist that made him look funny. His face was already covered with injuries from
the fight with Nathaniel, and now his arms were injured too. He was silently fuming.

“Are you okay?” Melanie asked.

She knew he was all right, but since he had requested her to come over immediately, she should at
least try to offer some comfort. She volunteered to pay his medical fees and helped him leave the
hospital. This made him feel slightly better.

“How’d you get yourself into this mess? You looked quite strong when you were fighting with
Nathaniel!” She remarked as she helped him into the car.

When seated comfortably, he used his chin to direct Melanie to buckle his seatbelt for him. Melanie had
no choice but to

When she was done, she asked, “Going back to the hotel?”

“Should I follow you home then?” he replied in annoyance.

Melanie remained silent and drove off. She knew he was in a horrible mood, so she chose not to make
conversation. However, Frank was not someone to stay still. He opened a box of cigarettes with his
mouth, took one out, and lighted it with his uninjured hand. He took a few puffs and calmed down.

“You went to the hospital?” Frank asked.

“Of course. How else would I be able to pick you up?” Melanie replied while driving.



“You know that’s not what I meant,” he paused and took another puff, “He’s not dead, is he?

Melanie smacked her lips and replied, “No. He survived with a few broken rib bones. He just needs
some time to rest and recover.”

“Then, he’s pretty much fine,” he shrugged nonchalantly, “How dare he hit me?” “Didn’t you hit him
back as well? Besides, it seemed like you had the upper hand!” she paused, “I’m still his fiancee.”
Frank narrowed his eyes in disdain as he said, “What about it? I never wanted to steal his fiancee! I’m
not trying to get married or have a kid with you! What’s wrong with just being friends with benefits?”

Melanie was speechless. Frank was crazy, and his actions were always illogical. Melanie sighed, “You
and him… and Ms. Neville are still friends, right? Ms. Neville was the one who asked you for a favor,
yet you did this to her son…”

“He was the one who started it!” Frank whined unapologetically, “Besides, Eloise and I are not friends.
We’re just business partners. I owed her a favor, and I’ve done my part.”

Frank’s cigarette was half finished by the time he stopped talking. Melanie could finally understand the
relationship between them. He was not a friend of Eloise, just someone that

Eloise had sent to Nathaniel to help him out. Frank was the best option because he owed Eloise a
favor and did not have conflicting interests with Nathaniel.
