Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 116, 117, 118, 119 & 120)

Chapter 116 – Appreciation

Melody knew that this unfounded crime was not enough to warrant her detention.

However, if Janet used her connections. locking Melody up for ten days to half a month and leaving a stain on her life would be a piece of cake for Janet.

Therefore, it was still too easy for Janet to get down on her knees.

Seeing that Janet was silent, Melody stepped forward. She asked. “How is it? Have you thought about where to kneel?”

“Melody!” Janet bit her lower lip hard. The pain and humiliation made her eyes tear up.

She had always been an existence that everyone looked up to and doted on by her parents. Outside, she was a genius girl. She had never suffered such humiliation.

She looked up at Ken with tears in her eyes. “Ken… She forced me to get down on my knees….

From her tone, those who did not know better would think that Melody was the one who was looking for trouble first.

Melody also looked at Ken. She wanted to know if Ken would help Janet

However, she never thought Ken would stand on her side at all. After all, he and Janet had been “inseparable from his university days, and Janet was his right–hand man in his career

If it were Melody, she might have chosen to speak up for Janet.

However, in the next moment…

Ken opened his lips and said expressionlessly, “Janet. You agreed to get down on your knees to apologize.”

In other words, since she had agreed to get down on her knees to apologize, she had to do it.

Janet’s face turned pale and her heart ached.

If Ken has any feelings for me, he won’t watch me get down on my knees and do nothing. I’ve worked so hard for so many years but in Ken’s heart. I’m just an unimportant collaborator, right? Thinking of it, Janet was angry and sad. She regretted calling Ken over.

With Ken as a witness, if she went back on her word now, it would only make Ken look down on her even more.

She didn’t want things to turn out that way.

Janet met Melody’s half–smiling gaze and the hatred in her heart had grown from a small seed to a towering tree.

“Isn’t it just getting down on my knees and apologizing! I’ll do it However, I swear I’ll get back at Melody for today’s humiliation! With that in mind, Janet bent her knees and was about to get down on her knees to Melody.

But just as her knees were about to touch the ground, a foot suddenly reached out in front of her.

Before she could react, she knelt on the shoe. She could not help but be stunned. She subconsciously looked up and met Melody’s clear and cold eyes.

Melody’s face was ugly, but her eyes were unbelievably beautiful,

However, no matter how good–looking the eyes were, since they were Melody’s, they would be extremely disgusting and hateful in Janet’s eyes. “What do you mean?” Janet was confused.

She was already on her knees, so she wondered why Melody reached out her foot.

Melody shrugged and reached to pull up Janet, kneeling on her foot. She said, “I’ve thought about it. It seems a little too much to make you kneel. How about this? You don’t have to be on your knees anymore. You only have to compensate me for my losses

Janet’s expression turned even darker.

She asked, “What do you have to lose? I didn’t ask anyone to detain you!”

“Time! Time is money. Miss Murphy, you’re a top student. Haven’t you heard of this?” Melody patted Janet’s hand and said, *For mental damage and the time I wasted on you. I’ll give you a discount. 10 million dollars will do.”

“10 million dollars? Are you out of your mind? Janet was shocked

It was not that Janet could not afford the 10 million dollars, but she had gotten down on her knees and apologized just now. She couldn’t accept that she still needed to be compensated,

“Even if I sell Melody, she is not worth 10 million dollars. She is not worthy! Janet thought furiously.

Melody smiled insincerely and said. “Don’t tell me you don’t even have 10 million dollars. Or do you want to get down on your knees and apologize again?”

“’I’ve already done that!” Janet blurted out.

“Is that so? I remember someone putting her knees on my foot just now, but I didn’t see you get down to the ground and apologize to me,” said Melody casually,

“You…” Janet was so angry that her face turned ashen.

She had never been good at arguing, so she naturally could not win against Melody,

“Alright!” Ken frowned and looked at Melody. “Let’s take it that Janet had apologized to you just now. As for the 10 million dollars, I’ll give it to you.”

“Sure,” Melody said indifferently, “Since Miss Murphy can’t afford 10 million dollars, it’s the same that you give it to me.”

“You. Don’t look down on me! It’s just 10 million dollars. I can afford in Melody’s provocation angered Janet successfully She could not stand this humiliation and immediately signed a 10–million–dollar check and threw it to Melody.

Melody did not mind Janet’s attitude. She carefully put away the check and waved her hand. “Since you’ve already compensated me for my losses, this matter will be written off. Goodbye!“

With that, she was about to leave. It was almost time to get the medicine. Although Janet delayed her for over an hour, she didn’t lose out because she made 10. million dollars.

On the other end, Janet bit her lower lip and opened her mouth to explain to Ken. V

But she couldn’t come up with any explanation when she was about to speak.

She was indeed unreasonable… So, of course, there was no way to explain it.

Seeing Janet’s conflicted expression, Ken waved his hand and said. “You don’t have to say anything. I’ve always admired you at work, but today, you disappointed me.” The word “disappointed made Janet become like a frosted eggplant, losing the last trace of life.

Her eyes were red, but Ken did not look at her as he walked away

Janet instinctively wanted to stop Ken, but she saw Ken walking in Melody’s direction.

Her expression instantly became extremely dark.

Melody. I will let Ken see your true colors! Janet looked at Ken walking away and dialed a number with a cold expression.

The other party quickly picked up and a passionate female voice sounded. “Janet?”

Fairlee asked on the other end of the phone, “What did you suddenly call me for?”

“Ms. Lawrence.” Janet changed into a gentle tone and asked. “Are you busy now?”

“No, I’m not busy. I just finished a trial and am having coffee in my office. What can I do for you?” Fairlee asked gently,

“Here’s the thing. Ms. Lawrence. The last time I was in the hospital, you mentioned Melody. I bumped into her today and had a small conflict with her,” said Janet

“What?” Fairlee raised her voice and said. “She even dares to have a conflict with you? What a brainless village girl”

“Ms. Lawrence, I have an idea… that can help us vent our anger. Isn’t your birthday coming up soon? When the time comes, you can invite the Fox family over…” Janet told Fairlee her plan.

At the same time, on the side of the road.

Melody was about to take a taxi when Ken’s voice sounded behind her. “Wait?”

Melody originally wanted to ignore him but stopped after hesitating for a moment…

Today, Melody had refreshed her understanding of Ken. He seemed to be more reasonable than her.

Just based on this, Ken was far better than Ulric. She quite admired Ken.

If possible, she still wanted to ally with Ken. Even if she didn’t ally with him, she didn’t want to become enemies with Ken.

Chapter 117 – I’m Quite Pretty

“What’s up?” Melody smiled and turned to ask Ken.

Ken walked past her without even looking at her.

If he hadn’t said “Come here when they brushed past each other she would have thought that she was hallucinating.

This person… He does have principles, but he needs to correct this attitude that emanates from his bones and thinks he is the boss! With those thoughts in mind, Melody pursed her lips. After stopping for two seconds, she followed Ken.

Ken got into his Maybach. Melody stood by the car window, not knowing what Ken meant.

“Was I hallucinating? While Melody was hesitating, the passenger window rolled down and Ken’s deep voice could be heard. “What are you waiting for? Get in the car!”

“Alright, it seemed like I wasn’t hallucinating Melody hesitated for a moment. Then, she canceled the online car reservation and got into Ken’s car.

Since there was a free ride, it would be a waste not to take it.

Although she had earned 10 million dollars from Janet today, this 10 million dollars was still too little to buy medicinal herbs.

After all, besides the styling shop that Wilmot had given her and the little salary from Ken, she had no other source of income. She needed to save every dollar she could.

Before Ken could speak, Melody said, “I’m going to Herbathrive. Thank you?

Ken glanced at her coldly and asked, “You’re treating me like a driver?”

“No, no.” Melody waved her hand obsequiously. “I thought you were a good person, so I wanted you to give me a ride.”

“A good person?” Ken chuckled. “Then you’ve misjudged me.

“I didn’t misjudge you.” Melody became serious and said, “You handled this matter fairly today and were not biased toward, Janet. I can tell you’re a good person from this matter.”

“Think what you want.” Ken looked like he didn’t care.

The world of adults had never been one where right and wrong were clearly distinguished. There had to be a gray area between right and wrong.

He was not a good person. He was in a gray

ay area and could walk on both sides anytime. As for the “good person” that Melody mentioned, he knew she was praising him, but for some reason, being called “a good. person” made him a little unhappy.

However, he could not be bothered to dwell on this matter. He stepped on the accelerator and drove toward Herbathrive.

Just as the car was about to reach the entrance of Herbathrive, Ken suddenly said, “Is money that important to you?”

“Yes. It’s important. It’s hard to move a single step without money. A wealthy man like you won’t understand, Melody replied.

Ken glanced at her and said, “You saved my grandmother. Even if you don’t have money, Russell won’t let you go hungry now.

“I know” Melody shrugged.

“Then why do you need money so much? Even the gifts I gave you as the thank–you gift. You even want to sell them,” said Ken

Melody smiled apologetically and said, Tm sorry. I really shouldn’t sell gifts, but I have no choice… I’m very short of money

Ken stepped on the brakes and asked Melody seriously, “What do you want so much money for? Or are you a gold digger to begin with?”

I’m not a gold digger. Melody muttered softly

After hesitating for two seconds, she decided to tell the truth.

She pointed to her face and said. “Do you see my face!”

Ken glanced at her and said expressionlessly. I’m not blind”

“I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about what’s on my face She sighed and said, “I need to remove the red spots and acne on my face. It requires a lot of expensive herbs”

Ken was stunned. He had no idea Melody kept talking about money for this reason.

“How much do you need?” he asked.

I didn’t calculate it carefully. Previously, I thought millions of dollars would be enough. However, now that I’ve carefully understood the price. I realize I can’t do it without tens of millions of dollars,” said Melody.

If it were an ordinary poison, she could fix her face quickly. However, this poison was administered by her teacher to protect her.

Her teacher’s medical skills were unparalleled in the world, but his poison–making skills were even better than his medical skills.

She had cured her face after making a name for herself in her previous life, so she did not remember how much she had spent on herbs.

“Tens of millions of dollars… Ken understood.

Not to mention whether Russell had this amount, even if he did, he would probably not be willing to spend money on Melody.

“That’s right.” Melody spread her hands and said, “So now you know why I need money so much, right?”

Ken looked away and stepped on the accelerator again. He turned the steering wheel and said. “I’ll give you one day to calculate how much you need, I can lend it to you for my grandma’s sake.” “No need Melody shook her head. “I can’t get some medicinal herbs even if I have money. Ill think of a way myself.”

Ken’s eyes darkened as he said coldly, “Up to you!”

Others couldn’t wait to ask for his help, but Melody refused without hesitation, making Ken a little unhappy.

Melody sensed Ken’s displeasure and could not help but feel confused. Why? Isn’t he happy that he doesn’t need to lend money to me? This person is so strange!!

At this moment, the car arrived at the entrance of Herbathrive. Melody was about to get our of the car when she suddenly thought of the scene when they first met.

She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “You’ve asked me so many questions. Can I ask you a question?”

Ken said nothing, but Melody knew that he had tacitly agreed.

Melody asked the question in her heart, “When we first met… I took your dagger. That dagger seems to be very important to you, right?”

Ken’s eyes darkened. Seeing this, Melody thought that he would not answer.

When she felt she was asking for a rebuff, she heard Ken say. “That was my mother’s relic. It was sold to the black market by Ulric. I tried my best to snatch it back.”

So that’s how it was Melody understood now.

Tm sorry…” Melody said apologetically. “I didn’t know at that time…

Ken did not say anything, but his expression clearly showed he was not blaming her.

“About Ulric Melody paused and said, “Maybe we can ally and deal with him together.”

“Allying with you?” Ken chuckled and said, “You should think of a way to earn money first.”

Was he looking down on me? Melody snorted and said, “You’ll know my ability. Also, let me tell you a secret. If my face is fixed. I’m quite beautiful.”

She had never seen what she looked like after her face returned to normal. However, she remembered Mabel’s extremely panicked gaze after she fixed her face in her previous life.

That gaze proved that regarding appearance, she was far superior to Mabel, the top socialite.

As Melody spoke, she blinked in embarrassment and said, “Thank you for sending me off. I’m leaving!”

She waved her hand, opened the door, and jumped out of the car. Her figure quickly disappeared from the entrance of Herbathrive.

Ken looked in the direction where Melody had disappeared and could not help but be a little dazed.

Well, her current appearance… isn’t that ugly. Wait a minute! What does Melody being ugly have to do with me? Ken shook his head, thinking that he might have been possessed.

Coincidentally. James called. He quickly returned to his senses and threw his messy thoughts out of his mind. He pressed the Bluetooth button in the car to answer the call.

The moment the call connected, James’s anxious voice sounded in the car.

Chapter 118 – Won’t Let Him Off

“Mr. Ken. I just received news that Wendell went to meet the chairman of Taynorma Capital. Do I need to stop him?” James asked.

“No need Ken’s tone was calm as if he had expected this

James was stunned on the other end of the phone. Two seconds later, his voice came. “Aren’t we going to do anything? Isn’t that letting him off too lightly?”

Ken raised his eyebrows slightly. “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to do anything.”

The first thing he did when he entered the headquarters was to chase Wendell, Astrid’s right–hand man, out of the headquarters.

Without Wendell monitoring him in the headquarters, it would be much easier for Ken to do things. Naturally, he would not let Wendell off so easily.

From Ken’s tone, James knew Ken must have had a plan.

After realizing this, James was no longer anxious. He responded and asked, “Where are you now? Are you still going back to the headquarters”

I’m on my way.” Ken replied.

Okay, I’ll wait for you at headquarters. After saying that, James did not waste his breath and quickly ended the call.

David eagerly greeted Melody with the herbs as soon as she entered Herbathrive. “Miss Fox, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.”

Melody nodded slightly. After taking the herbs, she asked. “Is your boss here now?”

“Yes.” David paused and asked, “Didn’t you say you won’t look for our boss for a while?”

Melody smiled. “I suddenly made a fortune. Where is he? Can you help me call him?”

“Of course! I’ll bring you there now. With that, David hurriedly led the way eagerly

Melody followed closely behind.

She knew Herbathrive well and did not need David to lead the way. However, she still pretended to be curious and looked around it to not arouse David’s suspicion.

David brought her to the backyard.

The backyard was different from the lobby in front. It was a courtyard house.

This was a place with a classic lifestyle. There were beautiful flowers and plants everywhere. The environment was quiet, and there were no modern appliances

As a result, although this place was in an international and modern metropolis like Silverlake, they could see butterflies and bees there

“Please wait a moment. I’ll go get Mr. Herbert,” said David.

Melody nodded and closed her eyes to feel the familiar atmosphere. David knocked on the door of one of the rooms in the courtyard house. A familiar voice came from inside, “What is it?”

“Mr. Herbert, a customer wants to buy medicinal herbs from you,” David reported respectfully.

Melody opened her eyes and saw a charmingly naive middle-aged man standing before David.

The man’s name was Colin Herbert. He used to be a traditional medicine practitioner. He then opened his traditional medicine shop and gradually developed it into the Herbathrive.

Colin’s medical skills were not bad either. In Melody’s previous life. Colin had helped her many times and taught her many things. He could be considered half a teacher to her and was also her good friend.

Later on, because of the death of his wife, Beverly Herbert, Colin became more and more haggard. His health deteriorated day by day. When he was about to collapse, he handed over Herbathrive to Melody to manage.

However, at this moment, the man who was on the verge of death was still full of energy.

Melody opened her mouth, and her eyes could not help but tear up. She almost blurted out the words “Mr. Herbert“.

Beverly was an extremely gentle person who loved life very much. In this life, Melody wanted to change the ending of Colin and Beverly

Melody clenched her fists and quickly came back to her senses.

When she returned to her senses, she realized Colin was also sizing her up.

The moment their eyes met, Melody hid the hot tears in her eyes and pretended to be distant and polite as she greeted, “Sir.”

However. Colin did not miss the moment when tears filled Melody’s eyes.

He could not help but feel strange. Why did this little girl look at me as if she was looking at a family member who had been separated for a long time? I don’t remember having such a distant relative. Did I see it wrongly?

Colin rubbed his eyes and saw Melody’s smile was polite and distant. Her expression from before was no longer there.

“Sure enough, I was mistaken… With that in mind, Colin nodded slightly and walked forward to ask. “Miss, what medicinal herbs do you want to buy?”

Melody spat out a word, “Deathtenaire.”

The world described Deathtenaire as “When a flower blooms, all the flowers die.”
The description came from the fact that Deathtenaire’s pollen was highly toxic and could travel great distances.

Plants that came into contact with the pollen of Deathtenaire would quickly wither and die.

Because of this, Deathtenaire became a forbidden plant, which was only available in some countries and was very expensive.

However, many people had long known about the toxicity of Deathtenaire’s pollen but did not know that the roots of Deathtenaire were valuable medicinal herbs. It could almost cure hundreds of poisons and was a good antidote.

If Melody wanted to detoxify herself, she had to have Deathtenaire

After Melody said ‘Deathtenaire, Colin was stunned.

This was because Deathtenaire was a plant that was strictly prohibited in Halcyon. Very few people knew about it.

He could not help but size Melody up seriously. Seeing she was so young, he could not help but be even more puzzled. He tried to ask. “Miss.

“My name is Melody Fox. You can call me Melody,” Melody introduced herself

Colm nodded and asked. “Miss Foo, where did you learn about Deathtenaire? This is not something you little girls should know.”

The pollen from Deathtenaire was highly toxic. Some people would use it to poison others. Therefore, Colin could not help but frown in fear.

Melody knew Colin very well. He was very upright, so she quickly explained. Sir, I study medicine. So I know about Deathtenaire. The reason why I want to buy this is to treat the poison in my face

“The poison on your face?” Colin narrowed his eyes and observed Melody.

He had thought Melody had a lot of acne because she was young. After taking a closer look, he realized that something was wrong.

Those acne and red spots were very unusual. They grew densely on her face like an ant’s nest. The severity of this was not something ordinary acne could compare to.

Colin could not help but become serious. “Who poisoned you”

For girls of this age, looks were what they cared about the most. Poisoning a young and beautiful girl’s face was too vicious!

“It’s my teacher. Melody hesitated for two seconds and decided not to hide it from Colin. She said honestly. “My family situation is rather special, so it’s inconvenient for me to tell you the details. However, to protect me, my teacher poisoned

me when I was very young. But now, I want to detoxify myself and restore my original appearance.”

“Every family has their difficulties. I understand. You don’t have to explain too much. But who is your teacher?” Colin asked

He had just scrutinized it again.

Traditional medicine practitioners could tell at a glance how the patient’s condition was. His medical skills were not bad. With a closer look, he could tell that this poison was not something ordinary people could make

Until now, he had never seen such a poison that could ruin someone’s appearance to such an extent

“My teacher is called “

Chapter 119 – Envious Happiness

Just as she was about to say her teacher’s name, Melody hesitated.

After all, her teacher did not want the world to know he was still alive.

However, the person in front of her was Colin. With her understanding of him, he would not tell anyone.

After hesitating for two seconds. Melody continued decisively, “My teacher’s name is Quentin Parker”

As soon as Melody finished speaking, Colin’s pupils dilated visibly. He even staggered two steps back, looking extremely shocked.

When David saw this, he could not help but ask in confusion, “Mr. Herbert, who is Quentin? Why do you have such a big reaction?”

David’s voice rang out, and Colin recovered from his shock. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, “If we have a ranking in the traditional medicine world, he’s the number one,”

After Colin said this. David’s eyes widened in surprise.

The two of them looked at Melody and revealed looks of disbelief.

“Miss Fox is the disciple of a medical big shot? No wonder I had never seen the prescriptions written by her elsewhere every time: David thought.

On the other hand, Colin remained hesitant

He asked, “Although I’ve never seen Mr. Parker, I’ve heard from my master that he’s been dead for many years. May I ask when Mr. Parker took you in as his student?”

“When I was four” When she said this, Melody’s expression was calm, making Colin feel that she did not seem to be lying,

“If this is true… Should I still call this young lady my teacher? This is because Quentin had never really taken in a disciple. If this young lady is telling the truth, her medical skills must be better than mine. In this way. Deathtenaire won’t be used to harm others. It is because Mr. Parker’s judgment was accurate. He was also strict when accepting disciples. He couldn’t find someone with evil intentions to be his disciple. With that in mind, Colon could not help but scrutinize Melody seriously.

After a while, Colin said, “Although you mentioned Mr. Parker’s name, many people in the traditional medicine community knew about him. I’m still not sure if what you said is true. Do you have any way to prove it?”

Melody thought about it and said. “My teacher doesn’t want the world to know he’s still alive, so I can’t call him over to prove it for me. However, I can use the medical skills that my teacher taught me to prove it. If a patient with a difficult illness comes to Herbathrive, you can inform me, and I’ll treat him. At that time, you can judge if what I said is true. How about that?”

Upon hearing this, Colin thought for a few seconds and nodded. “Alright. If you can prove it with your medical skills, I can give you Deathtenaire for free. I can also make an exception and hire you to come to Herbathrive for consultation.”

Herbathrive had become the biggest traditional medicine shop and clinic in Silverlake. They had more than twenty doctors here. Money was not that important to Colin.

Melody was not surprised to hear this. She extended her hand to Colin and said, “Then it’s settled. I wish us a happy cooperation in advance

Just as Colin was about to extend his hand, he heard footsteps behind him. Then, an elegant and gentle voice sounded. “Colin, are there guests?” Melody hurriedly looked up and happened to meet Beverly’s gaze.

The current Beverly did not look sick at all. She looked radiant. She was wearing an ink–colored dress, looking gentle and elegant

Colin could not be bothered to shake Melody’s hand anymore. He quickly walked over and held his wife’s hand. “Did I wake you up?”

Beverly shook her head, “Look at the time. I should get up too.”

As she spoke, she looked at Melody again and asked. “And she is

“A customer who came to buy rare medicinal herbs. Colin said briefly.

Since Melody said Quentin did not want everyone to know he was still alive, Colin thought there was no need to say anything else.

Beverly nodded as she said. Then I won’t disturb you guys anymore. I’ll go and make lunch for you. David, what do you

want to eat for lunch?”

“I want to eat…” David stopped mid-sentence. When he met Colin’s stern gaze, he shrunk his neck and said, “I can eat anything. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Mr. Herbert has always doted on his wife. If I named any complicated dishes, I’d be reprimanded by Mr. Herbert later. David thought.

Alright, I’ll make whatever I want.” As Beverly spoke, she nodded slightly at Melody and walked toward the room where the kitchen was.

Not long after, smoke rose from the kitchen chimney. It was Beverly starting a fire

Beverly had an accidental miscarriage in her early years. After that, she did not get pregnant again. However, Colin did not mind. He still doted on Beverly very much and even took better care of her than before the miscarriage.
Melody could not help but sigh in her heart. Such a harmonious and happy family had been destroyed by illness in my previous life. This time, I’m going to do everything I can. Not only will I change my fate, but I also want to change the fate of everyone I care about”

When Colin saw smoke rising from the kitchen, he was anxious to help Beverly, so he sped up and said to Melody. “Miss Fox, if there are patients with difficult illnesses another day. I’ll get David to call you over. David, exchange your contact information with Miss Fox’s. I’ll go get busy first.”

After Colin finished speaking, he was about to walk into the kitchen, looking like he loved his wife dearly.

Melody was a little envious.

Colin was the only good man she had ever seen.

Although Beverly had a short life in her previous life, the days she lived must have been blissful.

Melody couldn’t get such happiness, but she hoped to see more of it

I have to save Beverly! When Melody thought of this, she hurriedly called out to Colin, “Mr. Herbert!”

Colin subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and asked, “Miss Fox, is there anything else? Before you can prove your medical skills, I can’t sell Deathtenaire to you casually”

“I know Melody nodded and took two steps forward. I have something else to tell you.” Colin looked puzzled. He looked at the kitchen and finally nodded. “Miss Fox, please say it.”

Melody also looked at the kitchen and lowered her voice slightly “Mr. Herbert, does your wife do a checkup at the hospital regularly!

When Colin heard this, he smiled and said. “Tm a doctor myself Ill check her pulse regularly. She’s always been in good health except for being in a bad mood often.”

“see” Melody deliberately dragged out her words, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Her expression successfully attracted Colin’s attention.

Colin could not help but ask nervously. “What’s wrong? Miss Fox, why are you suddenly asking this?”

Melody pretended to be uncertain and said. “I accidentally took a look at your wife just now. You know traditional medicine is all about this. I only took a look, so I’m not sure.

Since it was about his wife, Colin was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He urged. “Miss Fox, get to the point.

Chapter 120 – This Woman Is Awesome

Colin was an impatient person. When he saw Melody stammering and not mentioning the main point, since this matter concerned Beverly, he did not care if it was his first time meeting Melody and directly urged Melody to get to it.

It was not that Melody had a bad habit of speaking, but she knew that only by saying this could she attract Colin’s attention and make him take her words seriously.

Colin would think she was spouting nonsense if she said too much at first.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Melody finally got to the point. I suspect that your wife might have gastrointestinal problems. Although you’re a traditional medicine practitioner, it’s sometimes difficult for traditional medicine practitioners to sense the problems with the stomach by checking the pulse. So I suggest that when you’re free, you can take your wife to a modern hospital for a stomach checkup and a gastroscope or something.”

Melody calculated the time. Beverly either had not developed stomach cancer yet or was still in the early stages of stomach cancer. The possibility of her being cured was very high.

“Intestines?” Colin thought about it and said, “It’s true that my wife’s eating habits are unhealthy. She often skips breakfast. Since you’ve said so, I’ll be more careful in the future. Thank you, Miss Fox.”

Melody nodded, unsure if Colin would bring Beverly to the hospital for a gastroscope as soon as possible.

However, this was the first time she was meeting Colin today. Some things could not be said too directly.

Moreover, it was still early, so there was no hurry.

At the thought of this, Melody did not say anything else. After saying goodbye to Colin, she left the backyard with David.

On the way, David kept stealing glances at her.

Melody could not help but stop in her tracks and ask with a smile. “Why? Am I so ugly that it makes you curious? Do you want to take a closer look?”

“No, no, no!” David waved his hand. “I just think you’re amazing and I’m very envious

“Envy me?” Melody laughed self–self-deprecatingly and said, “If you know me, you definitely won’t envy me.”

Her life was not the worst in the world. However, it must be much worse than David’s.

To die at the hands of her half-sister and the person she loved the most, this kind of pain was something that ordinary people would not be able to experience.

However, David revealed an even more envious expression. Then, he sighed and said, “Miss Fox, you’re so young, but you can already have such a master as your teacher. In the future, you might even have the chance to consult in Herbathrive. But I can only be a clerk now…”

Melody’s expression changed. Her expression darkened as she warned, “David, I trusted you, and that’s why I didn’t avoid you when I talked about my teacher. So, I hope I won’t hear you mention my teacher again in the future, and don’t mention the conversation I had with Mr. Herbert to anyone.”

David realized he had said too much and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry! Miss Fox, I just subconsciously..”

“Please control your subconsciousness in the future, Melody said solemnly.

David quickly replied, “Okay!”

Seeing that he was extremely regretful and guilty, Melody no longer had a dark expression and only said, “It’s good that you remember. I still have to go back and make the medicine. I’ll leave first

“Take care!” David bowed respectfully to Melody.

At first, David only felt guilty toward Melody and was grateful that Melody knew about his mistake but helped him hide it.

However, now that he knew that Melody might be the disciple of a master like Quentin, he respected Melody even more because he wanted to learn traditional medicine well.

Seeing this. Melody was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she said, “If I can come to Herbathrive to consult in the future. I suggest to Mr. Herbert that you help me.”

“Really?” David’s eyes instantly lit up.

Melody nodded and instructed, “Learn from your teacher well. Even if you’re only a clerk now, if you want to become a good traditional medicine practitioner, you have to be familiar with the medicinal properties of all the herbs before you can prescribe an effective prescription.”

“Okay!” David straightened his back and almost bowed to Melody again.

Melody did not stay any longer and left with the herbs..

Herbathrive was near an ancient city in Silverlake. There were many tourists, and online taxis were not allowed to enter at will, so it was not easy to get a car.

Melody carried the herbs and prepared to take a taxi after walking farther.

However, when she took a shortcut and passed by a small alley, she saw a few men in black clothes and black masks standing at the intersection in front.

She subconsciously turned her head to look behind her. A few men in black were standing there at the alley’s entrance.

At this moment, she was alone in the alley. There was no doubt these people were coming for her.

Melody narrowed her eyes coldly and asked, “Who are you? Who sent you here?”

The man in black in front sneered and walked forward. “Someone paid for your hands. You’d better cooperate, lest my saber misses.

“Buying my hands? Melody curled her lips coldly and clenched her fists. “Come on then. Let’s see if you can take my hands away.”

When the man heard this, his eyes, which were not covered by the mask, revealed a surprised expression.

Usually, when young girls of this age encountered such a thing, they would have fainted or screamed in fear

This ugly freak in front of me has some guts. The man quite admired Melody.

However, he had to do his job after taking the money. It was useless no matter how much he admired her.

The man in black waved his hand and said fiercely. “Go! Take her hands so we can report back!”

-The employer wanted two hands. He only needed to bring people to cut off Melody’s hands.

As for whether the other party could survive, he didn’t care.

With the man’s order, the two groups of people in the alley immediately rushed toward Melody.

Seeing this, the man couldn’t be bothered to watch the bloody scene. He lowered his head and scrolled through the beautiful women in the short video on his phone.

“Hey, this woman is awesome!” he said to himself.

It was as if he was playing with his phone at home and not here to chop off someone’s hands.

However, in the next moment, they heard wails coming from the alley.

The man did not care at first. After all, it was painful when one’s hands were cut off.

However, he immediately sensed that something was wrong because the wail was not from a woman, but a man.

He stopped playing with his phone and turned to look into the alley.

He was shocked when he saw it.

He saw his men lying in the alley. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not even get up.

Beside them stood an expressionless girl. At this moment, the girl was walking toward him step by step. It was as if she was walking with the wind. A murderous aura surged toward him as if she was an envoy from hell.

This… how is this possible? The man’s eyes widened in horror, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground in fear. The woman on the phone screen was still dancing passionately, but he couldn’t care less about looking at her. He only instinctively felt fear.

“You… you.” The man was so frightened that he stuttered.
