Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 231

Melissa’s body was tense, incredibly stiff. The thought of Emma standing behind her made a thin layer of sweat break out across her back.

It was an instinctual reaction, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Compared to Melissa's inner turmoil and anxiety, Emma was much calmer. To her, Melissa was just a stranger she had met a few times.

The elevator reached the floor, and Emma stepped out first.

A moment after she left, Melissa followed, only then realizing where she was. She glanced back at the floor number—fifteen. Hematology.

That's right, the Hematology department.

What was Emma doing here?

She remembered seeing her on this same floor last time, in Nathan's office. And back then, she had seemed so distracted and absent-minded. The more Melissa thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

A bold theory began to form in Melissa’s mind, but it was so audacious that she couldn't be sure.

At nine in the morning, the door to Room 1507 was pushed open from the outside.

Lying in bed while Tessa fed him breakfast, Thomas craned his neck and saw his daughter. "Melissa! What are you doing here?"

He was still chewing on a mouthful of egg, his words muffled. "Why are you here so early today?"

Melissa didn't say anything. Tessa, holding a bowl of soup, glanced behind her, then turned back and brought another spoonful to Thomas's lips.

"Hey! Are you trying to burn me alive?"

With a crash, Thomas swatted his hand out, knocking the bowl of soup Tessa had just offered him to the floor.

"Tell Dad what's wrong, Melissa. Don't make me worry about you..."

Hearing that, Melissa could no longer hold back. She burst into tears, ran over, and threw herself into her father's arms. Then, sobbing, she told him everything that had happened at the dinner table the night before and what followed.

After listening to the whole story, Thomas first frowned, then said worriedly, "You don't think Evan is seeing someone on the side, do you?"

"How could he be?"

Melissa immediately refuted her father's speculation about Evan without a second thought.

Noticing there was still an outsider in the room, Thomas said to Tessa, who was still cleaning, "You can go. Close the door on your way out."

Tessa kept her head down, silently tied up the trash bag, and took it out, closing the door behind her.
