Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 71, 72, 73, 74 & 75)    

Chapter 71

The color of the blood Margaret vomited was crucial. If it was bright red, it would indicate that the dosage of her medicine was too strong, not only harming her internal organs but also depleting her internal energy.

That would be disastrous.

Melody wasn’t entirely confident about the illness, so on the way here, she was very apprehensive.

Until…

After seeing the color of the blood, she let out a sigh of relief, her face showing a look of great relief. The blood wasn’t bright red but a reddish-brown, similar to the color of pork liver.

“What are you looking at, Miss Fox?” Ramon asked curiously as he approached Melody. He didn’t understand why Melody was squatting on the ground instead of looking at Margaret on the bed first.

“I’m looking at this,” Melody said as she stood up, pointing to the bloodstain on the ground.

“This is the blood my mother vomited,” Ramon said with a grave expression. At first, everyone was frightened by Margaret’s sudden vomiting of blood. He immediately wanted to take Margaret to the hospital, but she stubbornly refused, even threatening to commit suicide by biting her tongue if he took her to the hospital.

In this situation, he didn’t dare to take Margaret to the hospital carelessly and could only invite the doctors who had consulted on her case before.

Then, just a moment ago, Margaret suddenly stopped vomiting blood, and her spirit seemed much better. He wasn’t sure whether this was the last flicker of life or if Melody’s medical skills had taken effect, so he restrained his emotions and invited Melody in politely.

“When she suddenly vomited blood… but after stopping, her spirit suddenly improved. I hope you can tell me truthfully what’s going on,” Ramon said, his voice becoming lower and lower. If there was a problem with Melody’s treatment, he would immediately turn against her.

Melody was about to answer when Margaret suddenly woke up and sat up with a lot of energy, saying, “Melody, you’re here.”

“Grandma!” Ken stepped forward with delight. He was observant and immediately noticed that Grandma’s condition was indeed much better than before.

“Mom!” Ramon also stepped forward to help Margaret.

However, Margaret frowned and turned her head away. “Don’t come any closer! I don’t have sons and grandsons like you two, who would send an old woman like me to the hospital to have a hole cut in my stomach.”

“Grandma…” “Mom…”

Both had a wry smile on their faces. Although Margaret was old, she was quite prone to throwing tantrums like a child, and they were at a loss on how to handle her.

“You stay back. I want to talk to Melody,” Margaret insisted.

Ken very consciously stepped back, but Ramon hesitated, worried about his mother.

“Miss Fox, please take a good look at my mother.”

“Okay,” Melody nodded slightly, stepped forward, and came to the bedside. She held Margaret’s hand and felt her pulse.

The pulse was much better than before. It just needed continued treatment, but this time She was confident that Margaret’s condition would improve with continued treatment.

After feeling the pulse, Melody looked up and asked Margaret, “Margaret, how do you feel now? Do you feel more comfortable than before?”

Yes! I’m much more comfortable than before! I always felt short of breath and my stomach was bloated and uncomfortable, but I don’t feel that way now. I feel my breathing is very smooth and my chest doesn’t feel as tight,” Margaret replied! Margaret gripped her hand back forcefully, her eyes sparkling with tears of excitement.

Melody smiled. “That’s good. You are getting stronger.” The first treatment has taken effect, and we can start the second treatment.

But I vomited blood just now… Margaret said hesitantly. Is there something wrong with me?

Although she was very happy about her improved condition, the continuous vomiting of blood frightened her as well.

No, it’s not that. Melody patiently explained: you vomited blood because of the prescription I gave you. The medicine was prepared with the nuts being decocted and used to smooth the blood. To put it more simply, you vomited blood the excess blood from your stomach, which was the cause of your bloating. Now that you have vomited that blood, it indicates that the condition is improving. In other words, if you did not vomit this blood, that would be abnormal, so you can rest assured.

After hearing what Melody said, Margaret finally felt completely reassured, holding Melody’s hand and touching it repeatedly, as if she had found a treasure.

At first, she also shared Astrid’s disdain for Melody’s upbringing and appearance, but now she no longer cared about these things at all.

Good girl, I owe you so much this time… To be honest, a few days ago, I even thought about committing suicide. Living like that was more tiring than just dying, to avoid burdening the whole family…

Margaret…Melody couldn’t help but frown with concern.

She remembered that in her previous life, Margaret had committed suicide by jumping off a building. Was it because of this illness? Now that she cured Margaret’s illness, would history repeat itself? Finding out was very important to ensure Margaret’s safety. If she could rewrite Margaret’s fate, then she could certainly rewrite her own fate.

It was said that man could conquer fate, but her own rebirth was already a divine will. She was very curious to know if she could defy God’s will and change her destiny.

While Melody was lost in her thoughts, the doctors happened to hear what Melody had said.

Liam blurted out, Nonsense! What blood? This is clearly internal organ damage, and she needs to go to the operating room immediately! Margaret, Mr. Ramon, don’t be deceived by this little girl!

These past few days, they, as doctors, have not been idle and have held several meetings for Margaret to determine the treatment plan.

Today, they came here to take Margaret to the hospital for surgery.

Ramon was taken aback by Liam’s words and instinctively looked at Margaret.

Margaret’s expression darkened, and she said, didn’t you hear what Melody said? I have already improved, and you still want to drag me into the operating room for a knife? Are you trying to force me to die?

The voice was full of vigor, without a trace of her previous illness.

No, Ramon completely abandoned the idea of sending Margaret for surgery and tried to comfort her. Mom, don’t get excited. We will definitely not send you into the operating room, so don’t worry.

Margaret’s expression improved slightly and she looked at the doctors and said, I don’t want to see them. Make them leave immediately!

Ramon nodded repeatedly, turned to the doctors with an apologetic smile, and said, sorry guys, you’ve made a trip for nothing.

He said motioning with his eyes to the butler.

The butler understood, stepped forward, politely made a gesture of invitation, and said: Please, have some coffee and a little token of appreciation is prepared for you downstairs.

The butler said, half pushing and half inviting, forcibly took the doctors out.

Liam was angry and directly left a harsh remark. “Ramon, you will regret your decision today! Didn’t she say she could cure it in a week? In a few days, I guarantee you will come to us!”

Chapter 72

Liam spoke, not even bothering to take the commission the butter offered, and turned to leave.

However, the next moment, Melody snapped out of her daze and called out to Liam in a cold voice.“Wait a moment!”

Liam stopped in his tracks, looking at her with a look of disgust.

“What more do you have to say? Even if you’ve deceived the whole world, we the real doctors, will not be deceived by you! If you’re trying to persuade me, save your breath!”

He felt disgusted just by talking to Melody.

One’s appearance is a reflection of their heart. This wretched girl was so ugly, and her heart was indeed very malicious!

In any case, Liam found Melody extremely displeasing.

Melody, of course, noticed Liam’s aversion to her, but she just smiled nonchalantly and said, “You misunderstand. I’m not trying to persuade you. Medical skills are evident in their results. There’s no need for eloquence.”

Liam snorted. “Then what do you want to say?”

Melody looked up and met Liam’s gaze directly.

Her gaze was so clear and cold that it made Liam feel a bit intimidated as if he dared not meet her eyes.

“What exactly do you want to say?” Liam was annoyed at his momentary cowardice, and his tone became more aggressive.

“I want to say… you keep calling me a fraud, but what if I’m not a fraud and I actually cure Margaret? How will you account for slandering me?”

Melody had been too patient in her previous life, and in this life, she was determined to stand up for herself, not allowing anyone to wrong her.

However, when Liam heard her words, he laughed.

“Hey! Slander? I’m just stating the facts!”

“I’m talking about a hypothetical situation. What if I’m not?” Melody raised an eyebrow, looking calm and confident.

Liam subconsciously swallowed and then blurted out, “If you’re not a fraud and you really cure Margaret, then I’m willing to bow and apologize to you in front of everyone and resign from my position as a deputy dean. But if, after a week, Margaret’s illness hasn’t improved, then you must go to the police station and turn yourself in, how about that?”

“Alright.” Melody agreed without hesitation,

Her quick agreement made the previously composed Liam feel inexplicably flustered.

‘Could it be this girl really have some skills? But then Liam immediately dismissed the thought.

It was impossible!

It was absolutely impossible!

“Then it’s a deal, Mr. Ramon. Can you be the witness to this?” Melody asked, looking at Ramon.

Ramon frowned instinctively, but his brow quickly smoothed. I’m willing to be the witness for you.

As long as Margaret could recover, he would not only be a witness but would even agree to this absurd arranged marriage of the Fox family.

“Then it’s settled. Liam, have a good journey. When Margaret gets better, I will come to you to fulfill your promise.”

Liam’s expression froze on his face, and then he snorted coldly, waved his hand, and left.

The bet was also heard by the other doctors and some subconsciously advised.

“Liam, isn’t this bet a bit too much? You have worked hard for so many years to get to your current position, what if …

“There are no what-ifs! Lian fiercely interrupted the doctor’s words. “Don’t joke around! A young girl dares to say she has medical skills, and you actually believe it, which really disappoints me! Just wait. She will go to jail soon!”

Today, Margaret refused to go to the hospital, and something would definitely happen tomorrow.

One had to know Margaret vomited blood!

Generally, such acute patients would die immediately if not handled within a day.

Now he couldn’t care whether Margaret would die or not, for him, exposing Melody’s true face was the most important.

At this moment, Liam had completely forgotten that he was a doctor, and the doctor’s duty was to save people, not to fight with others.

In the room, after the doctors left, the air in the room seemed to flow much more smoothly.

Melody took back the doctor’s leaving figure, turned her head, and smiled at Margaret. “Margaret, you lie down, and I will check your pulse carefully again.”

Where did Margaret not agree, and she quickly reached out to cooperate with Melody?

Those doctors all thought that her vomiting blood this time was going to be a big deal, but as the patient herself, she was the most clear about whether she was comfortable or not.
About a minute later, Melody slowly opened her eyes and said in Margaret’s expectant eyes, “You are indeed much better, so starting tonight, I will give you a new prescription, and we will start the second course of treatment.”

“Good” Margaret nodded repeatedly.

She was in a good mood and was willing to talk to Ramon and Ken.

“Don’t just stand there. Sit down. Each of you, standing like a door god, makes me uncomfortable.”

Ramon let out a long sigh of relief and sat down in a chair, asking Melody about the things to pay attention to in the second phase of the treatment.

Melody patiently explained, with loose strands of hair falling gently around her ears as the air moved.

Ken inadvertently glanced over, and to his surprise, found Melody’s serious expression even more dazzling than that of Mabel, the reputed number-one socialite of Silverlake.

Just as Melody finished explaining the precautions to Ramon, she turned her head and met his gaze.

In that moment of eye contact, Melody suddenly cited her lips into a smile, revealing a set of pearly white and neat teeth. Her eyes, shine even brighter than her teeth, causing a strange flutter in his heart, as if ripples appeared on the originally calm lake surface.

Was he going crazy?

Ken suddenly stood up and said, “I’m a bit thirsty. I’m going back to my room for a drink.”

With that, he began to walk outside, his figure seeming somewhat flustered.

Melody tilted her head in confusion.

Did her face look too terrifying, scaring Ken off?

It seemed she should avoid smiling at people casually until her appearance was restored, so as not to frighten others.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the doctors had barely stepped out of the hall when they ran into Astrid, who had just caught up.

Astrid’s face was as dark as ink, Seeing the doctors come out, she restrained her emotions a bit and stepped forward to ask, “Why are you leaving? is Margaret still unwilling to go with you?”

For her, it would be easier if Margaret were dead, sparing her from being a daughter-in-law and enduring Margaret’s attitude.

But Ramon was too filial, and she didn’t dare to act too obviously. Soon the surface, she still appeared very worried about Margaret.

The deputy dean, Liam, forced a smile and said, “Mrs. Astrid, it’s not that we want to leave. It’s that Mr. Ramon would rather believe that female fraudster than believe us and drive us out.”

“What?” Astrid was taken aback. “You mean Ramon believes Melody that wretched… doesn’t believe you? That can’t be!”

Liam shrugged his hands “If you don’t believe it, go up and see for yourself. Since we’re not needed here, we’ll take our leave.”

“Wait…” Before Astrid could say more, the doctors had already gotten into their car and left

Chapter 73

Watching the doctors drive away, Astrid instead calms down. Instead, it was her assistant who was anxious on her behalf.

“Mrs. Astrid, what do we do now? Even Mr. Ramon believes that wretched girl’s words now.”

Astrid sneered and looked towards the second-floor window. “This is a good thing.”

Margaret having vomited blood indicated her days were numbered. In this situation, although Ramon was deceived by Melody, as long as Margaret died, Melody would still be held accountable.

Moreover, she wished Margaret would pass away sooner rather than later!

Now, by using Melody’s hand to get rid of Margaret and making Melody the enemy of the Swanson family. Astrid was the only one who didn’t believe Melody had any medical skills.

Even if Ramon might be angry with her now, in the end, Ramon would know that she was right. Wasn’t this a win-win situation?

A good thing? The assistant looked at Astrid in astonishment, thinking she was confused from anger.

Astrid, however, didn’t bother to explain to her assistant, and with a group of people, she stormed toward Margaret’s room on the second floor.

She wanted to be the one who was sober while everyone else was drunk, but since she was going to act, she might as well act the whole part.

In Margaret’s room, Melody had already finalized the prescription for the second phase treatment and was about to start preparing the medicine when she heard a commotion of footsteps from outside.

She turned her head and just saw Astrid coming with the people who had previously wanted to take her to the police station.

Mom! Darling! Astrid said with an anxious face. How can you drive the doctors away? Do you really believe that a young girl’s medical skills could be better than those doctors?

Astrid confronted Ramon.

Ramon frowned. “Margaret’s blood has improved a lot. Ms. Fox said that Mom’s vomiting blood is expelling the toxins. She feels much better. Please don’t say anything to upset her.”

“Trust her?” Astrid glared at Melody. “Absolutely cannot trust her. Darling, come to your senses.”

Ramon now felt frustrated. “Margaret will be cured by Miss Fox. For now, you apologize to Miss Fox and then go.”

“Apologize to her? Impossible!” Astrid refused with a pale look on her face. “Since none of you believe me, I’ll keep quiet! But I hope you’ll come to your senses sooner rather than later, so as not to delay Margaret’s condition.”

With that, Astrid left, seething with anger. No one saw the sly smile replace her fury once she left the room. She thought, “Believe in Melody, and when Melody fails, I will be the daughter-in-law who saves the day.”

After leaving the room, Astrid asked a servant about Ulric’s whereabouts. The servant, very afraid of Astrid, quickly replied, “Mr. Ulric has gone to treat his leg injury.”

Astrid was taken aback and asked, “Didn’t he go out early in the morning? Why hasn’t he come back yet?”

“Useless thing! I’ll contact him myself!” Astrid scolded and took out her mobile phone.

Before she could dial, she saw Ulric being pushed in by the servant.

“You’re finally back!” Astrid suppressed her anger. “Margaret vomited blood today, and time may be running out. Why did you only come back now?”

Ulric’s face was unusually gloomy. “Talk in my room,” he said coldly.

After they reached his room, Astrid couldn’t hold back anymore. “Why do you look so upset? Was the treatment not smooth?”

Ulric smashed the cup in his hand. “Shut up! Was it you who told me not to treat my leg injury first? Now the doctor says there’s only a ten percent chance of recovery. Are you satisfied now?”

Astrid covered her mouth in horror. “Ten percent…”

“If my leg can’t recover, what will I compete with Ken? All because of your plan! You said that if I didn’t recover, it would make Dad and Grandma more sympathetic towards me and dislike Ken. Now, I’ve really become a cripple! Are you satisfied?”

Astrid’s face was complicated, and tears glistened in her eyes. “What I did back then was also for you… I didn’t know…”

“Easy for you to say!” Ulric closed his eyes in agitation. “God knows what I’ve been through today.”

He practiced rehabilitation movements for hours but couldn’t do well. That feeling was unbearable.

“Grandma vomited blood today, you said…”

Chapter 74

Yes! Mentioning Margaret, Astrid’s mood quickly improved, and even her eyes were tinged with a hint of a smile.

“Margaret is really foolish enough. She has been treated by that wretched girl until she vomited blood, and she still trusts her and allows her to continue the treatment. It seems that God is helping us!”

Ulric, however, had no smile at all, but frowned and asked, “She vomited blood and still let Melody continue the treatment? Although Grandma is sick, her mind is not bad. I think things are not so simple.”

Unlike Astrid, he, who had been suppressed by Ken since childhood, liked to make the worst speculations about everything.

Hearing Ulric say this, Astrid couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“You’re right. I also feel strange. Your father was on my side, and now he is also bewitched by Melody. Do you think that girl really has some skills?

“I don’t know.” Ulric frowned tightly. “But based on my understanding of Ken, he won’t believe a person for no reason. You’d better not be too happy about this. If she really cured Grandma, things would be difficult.”

He had already determined that Melody and Ken were in cahoots. His father was so filial that if Melody cured Margaret, Ken’s status in his father’s heart would also increase. This was something he absolutely did not allow.

Astrid noticed the depression in Ulric’s eyes and quickly said, “Don’t worry, I have already checked the details of that girl. She grew up in the countryside and had never even been to town before the Fox family took her back. It’s not likely that she could have learned from a medical master.

Ulric’s brows loosened as he asked, “Are you sure?”

“Of course! How could Mom lie to you about this? Do you also think that girl really has some great medical skills?”

Ulric didn’t speak, but he obviously didn’t admit from the bottom of his heart that the ugly girl could have any ability.

“In that case, let’s wait for Grandma to pass away.”

Astrid nodded, then asked, “If you’re still worried, do you need me to arrange for someone to get rid of that girl? There are many coincidences in the world, after all. In case she accidentally saves Margaret?”

“No need.” Ulric directly refused.

A mere Melody, he didn’t even look in the eye. The only value of Melody to him was to use Melody to break Ken’s defense and satisfy his own desire to conquer

But he was not sure how important Melody was to Ken now, so he was not planning to take action against Melody for the time being, and it was not so important for the time being

As for Margaret, even if she didn’t die this time, she wouldn’t live much longer. At the age of eighty, she would naturally die of old age without him having to lift a finger.

“What I need to care about now is my leg. I’ll wait and see for other matters to avoid any complications.”

When he agreed to Astrid’s proposal, he didn’t expect that not starting rehabilitation immediately would affect future recovery.

Today’s words from the doctor were an eye–opener. No matter what, He must get his legs recovered as soon as possible.

He had endured life as a cripple for a long time and didn’t want to bear it any longer.

Okay, don’t worry I’ll go find the best rehabilitation doctor for you right away.”

Ulric nodded slightly, the gloom in his eyes lingering, and both of them fell into silence, each contemplating their own schemes.

Meanwhile, in Margaret’s room, after Astrid left, Melody also gave Margaret a few instructions before going downstairs to prepare the medicine.

The new prescription required a suitable ratio of nitroprusside, but she hadn’t determined the ratio yet, so she needed to prepare in advance for the second course of treatment that would start in the evening.

She was leisurely on the way, but as soon as she entered the makeshift pharmacy, her entire demeanor changed instantly. Every inch of her even the strands of her hair, exuded rigor, and her whole body radiated an aura of doing not disturb.

Ken, who accompanied Melody, couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.

He had never been one to care about appearances. To him, looks were just a meaningless shell.

But seeing Melody so focused and serious, he actually felt what beauty truly meant.

“Mr. Ken? Mr. Ken…” His subordinate called him twice before Ken snapped back to reality.
Ken was annoyed with himself for being distracted and turned his head with a stern expression, which startled James.

“Mr. Ken?” James’s back stiffened in fear, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Mr. Ken’s aura truly became more powerful over time, and even he, who has been around Ken for years, felt apprehensive.

Fortunately, Ken’s expression softened slightly, and he asked in a hoarse voice, “What’s the matter?”

James regained his composure and hurriedly said, “The one we just sent out.

“Let’s talk outside,” Ken suddenly interrupted James, which made Melody look over.

She thought that after today’s events, Ken’s aversion and guard against her would weaken a bit, but it seemed the same as the past few days.

But do I really have to give up Ken, such a powerful ally, and fight alone?” she wondered.

She’s not afraid to fight alone. It was just that on her own, the revenge plan would be slowed down a lot.

She really hoped that after Margaret recovered, Ken could give her a slightly better face, so that she could also tell her about the plan with her to deal with Ulric.

Lost in thought, Melody realized that she had accidentally added too much nitroprusside.

“Ah,” she exclaimed, hurriedly picking up the medicine pot, but nitroprusside is difficult to separate, so she had to start over.

Just start over, she had already thrown away all the messy thoughts and seriously adjusted the dosage.

At the same time, in a corner of the manor, James made sure no one could eavesdrop on their conversation before speaking. “The person we sent out has found out that Mr. Ulric went for rehabilitation today.”

Ken raised his eyebrows “He really did it or just pretending?”

In the past two years, Ulric had gone out for rehabilitation every day, but in fact, he didn’t do it at all. He secretly got involved in the various industries of the Swanson family.

Although on the surface, Ulric had not entered the business world for several years, in secret, he had never stopped for a day.

This time out, Ken didn’t know what kind of trouble Ulric was causing.

James lowered his voice and said, “This time Mr. Ulric really went for rehabilitation.”

“Wow?” Ken was slightly surprised, but soon thought it was to be expected.

It seems that since I came back this time, he can’t wait any longer.

Although he could still move freely in secret, he didn’t dare to let his father know on the surface, which also limited Ulric’s actions to a certain extent.

“yes,” James nodded, then smiled. “However, I got a very interesting piece of news from his doctor. I think you will be very happy.”

Chapter 75

Ken clearly had little patience and looked at James coldly.

James was startled and dared not tease the matter, saying directly, “Our people learned from the rehabilitation doctor that because Mr. Ulric has not gone for rehabilitation these years, he has missed the best recovery period. The possibility of him recovering completely now is only ten percent, and ten percent is just a conservative estimate. In fact, the chances may be lower than that. “

After James finished speaking, waited for Ken to show a happy expression.

However, Ken just nodded slightly, as if his mood had not fluctuated at all.

In fact, Ken really didn’t have any emotional ups and downs. For him, as long as Ulric and Astrid did not touch his bottom line, he wouldn’t do anything to them. He didn’t care about their life and death, or whether his leg disease could be cured or not.

And his bottom line was just the legacy left by his mother.

Thinking of this, Ken changed the subject and asked, “How is the arrangement at the Pearly Antiques going?”

“It’s still infiltrating. They are all the chairman’s confidants, and it will take a lot of time for our people to arrange to get in.”

“Well, no rush, be steady.”

He had already made up his mind that as long as he got the Pearly Antiques, he would cut off all ties with the Swanson family, including Ramon, his biological father.

He wouldn’t stay in this family for a second if it weren’t for Grandma.

“Go back and see how Miss Melody’s prescription research is going.”

“Yes” James responded, then couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Ken, you asked me to come out and talk. Is it because you still don’t trust Miss Fox?”

“No.” Ken shook his head in denial, but he didn’t explain either.

James didn’t dare to be nosy y and stopped asking any further questions.

When the two men went back, Melody had just determined the dosage.

“Good timing that you’re here Melody handed several packaged medicines to James and earnestly instructed. “This prescription comes in three doses, one dose to be decocted and taken each day, to be drunk on an empty stomach in the morning Remember, the heat should be controlled at a moderate level. If it’s too strong, it will cause the medicinal properties to be lost.”

James nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

Ken, who was nearby, frowned. “What do you mean by that? Are you not personally coming to decoct the medicine in the next few days? Are you afraid that if you can’t cure it, we will blame you for the responsibility?”

“You… Why do you have to speak so harshly Melody said, curling the comer of her mouth. “I have some family issues in the next few days. and I might not be able to come out, so I’m telling James in advance. As long as I can get out, I will come myself.”

Ken asked suspiciously, “What kind of issues would your family have?”

“It’s nothing for you to worry about. Just know that after taking these three doses of medicine, the illness will surely be cured, Melody said.

Then, slapping her forehead, she added, “Oh, by the way, for the next three days, your grandma will still vomit blood after taking the medicine, but the color of the blood will be lighter. By the last day, it’s estimated that what she vomits will have no blood color at all So, if Margaret vomits blood these days, you don’t need to panic. Just wait for the blood color to be completely vomited out, Melody spoke earnestly, but Here’s expression became even more suspicious.

Noticing his gaze. Melody naked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ken shook his head. “I just feel like you’re settling your affairs.”

You. Can you say something more auspicious? You better shut und” Melody said, exasperated and rolling her eyes.

James, listening to Melody’s words, was so frightened that his heart almost stopped.

Melody was the first person in the world who dared to speak to Ken in such a tone, not even the chairman would speak to Ken in such a manner.

Then, when James looked at Ken’s face, he saw that Ken was not angry but seemed to have a faint smile. A smile?

James was shocked internally. “What’s going on with Mr. Ken? He’s being scolded and he can still what’s happening to the world? It’s so surreal.

“It’s good that you’re not settling your funeral,” Ken said seriously. “Otherwise, if Grandma has an accident, I wouldn’t be able to find anyone to be responsible.”

Melody pursed her lips. If she hadn’t understood Ken a bit more in the past few days, she would probably be furious now.

“I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going back first. My family is probably in chaos now, and I have to hurry back to play the opera.”

“Play the opera?

“You don’t need to understand. I’m leaving bye–bye!” She waved her hand and was about to step outside.

“Wait a moment. Ken suddenly stepped forward, blocking her way.

“I’ll take you back.”

His tone was very firm, leaving no room for refusal.

Melody was more than happy to have a free driver and didn’t refuse, nodding and saying, “Then thank you, Mr. Ken.”

Ken gave her a cool look, turned around, and walked outside, not forgetting to instruct James, “Guard well, and don’t let even a mosquito in.

“Yes!” James straightened up and responded, but his heart was already racing.

‘Crazy, Ken has gone crazy, he wondered.

On the way, Melody was about to close her eyes for a rest when her phone suddenly rang.

She had only received this phone after returning to Silverlake. Maria had bought it for her, and not many people knew her number.

Who could be calling?

Melody opened her eyes and looked at her phone, seeing Wilmot’s name displayed on the incoming call.

She quickly answered, asking as soon as she picked up, Mr. Sherman, has something happened at the store?

However…

No, the store is doing very well. We had a fashion show yesterday, and all our interns participated, making a small fortune. I wanted to ask Boss Shi to treat me to a meal as a reward.

The store used a cash register system, so Melody could check the daily revenue through her phone every day.

And yesterday’s earnings had reached several thousand dollars. Even if Wilmot hadn’t mentioned it, she would have treated him to a meal.

Melody glanced at the time, confirmed it was still early, and agreed with a smile. Sure you choose the place, and I’ll head there now.

Let’s meet at the Pearl Revolving Restaurant. it’s quite expensive there. Are you willing to pay, Melody?

There’s nothing unwilling about it. I’m setting off now.

Okay!

After ending the call, Melody suddenly felt a chilly draft.

Instinctively, she looked to her side and saw Ken staring at her with a gloomy expression.

What’s wrong… For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Nothing. Ken withdrew his gaze and looked ahead, speaking indifferently. To the Pearl Revolving Restaurant?

Mmmm…If you think it’s troublesome, you can just drop me off on the side of the road. I can take a taxi…

Not troublesome at all. Ken stepped on the gas, and Melody almost let out a startled cry.

With a swift drive, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the Peral Revolving Restaurant.

And Ken’s expression did not ease a bit.

Melody couldn’t help but ask, what’s wrong with you?

She didn’t feel like she had upset Mr. Ken today.
