Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 91, 92, 93, 94 & 95)   

Chapter 91

Although Mabel complained about Ulric’s waste, she was filled with joy.

Which girl didn’t like a rich and handsome man giving her piles of expensive gifts?

No one could refuse!

dark. However, after Mabel finished speaking, she realized Yolanda’s expression was abnormally dar

She was shocked. Her first reaction was not that there was a problem with the gift, but whether Yolanda had quarreled with Russell.

As expected. Mabel noticed the palm print on Yolanda’s face.

So, they quarreled, and Dad hit Mom! Mabel was surprised as she thought.

Mabel quickly suppressed the joy in her heart and frowned as she muttered to Russell, Dad, Mom worked hard for this family all day. Why do you always make her unhappy? What’s there to fuss about between husband and wife?”

Yolanda quickly stopped her. “Mabel, stop talking. Go upstairs!”

She did not have time to explain to Mabel that those gifts were not from Ulric, nor did she dare to do it in front of Russell. She only wanted to pull Mabel upstairs first.

However, Mabel broke free from Yolanda’s hand and said, “Mom, I’ve grown up. Don’t think I can’t interfere just because this is between you adults..”

Yolanda felt a headache coming. She grabbed Mabel’s hand and wanted to stop her from continuing, but it was too late.

Mabel said quickly. “Besides, is this the time to argue? The matter caused by that troublemaker Melody hasn’t been resolved yet. How can you still have internal strife?”

“Mabel!” Yolanda was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She looked at Russell in fear.

As expected, she saw Russell’s terrifying expression. He glared at Mabel.

Mabel was also shocked but only felt aggrieved because she did not know the situation. She could not help but say unhappily, “Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? I…”
Before she could finish speaking. Russell suddenly took a few steps forward and raised his hand to give Mabel a heavy slap.

After a crisp sound, Russell roared, “Shut the fuck up!”

Mabel’s eardrums rumbled. If Yolanda had not supported her, she would have been slapped to the ground.

The shock and pain made Mabel cry. She broke down and cried.

When Russell heard Mabel’s cries, he felt even more frustrated.

Just as he was about to slap her a second time, Yolanda suddenly knelt in front of him and said, “Russell! Mabel said these things because she doesn’t know anything. Don’t hit her anymore. If you want to hit someone, hit me!”

Russell gritted his teeth. “Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?”

Yolanda shivered and didn’t dare to say anything else. She begged. “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if I hadn’t made a mistake. If I had known that Melody’s medical skills were so superb that she had cured Margaret, you wouldn’t have locked Melody up, and you wouldn’t have been so embarrassed when the Swanson family came to thank Melody. It’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Mabel”

Mabel was hiding behind Yolanda. She felt her scalp tingle when she heard this. “Wh… what?”

There was so much information in Yolanda’s words that Mabel forgot the pain on her cheek. She confirmed with Yolanda in a daze. “Mom, what did you just say? Did you say that Melody cured Margaret?”

Yolanda didn’t say anything, but her expression was already answering Mabel.

At this moment. Mabel suddenly understood why Russell had such a huge reaction when she said Melody was a troublemaker

She finally understood why her father, who had never hit her mother, slapped her mother.

It was because Yolanda was the one who started the entire family’s panic in the beginning, making everyone believe that Margaret would die of Melody’s treatment and that the Swanson family would find trouble with them.

From the very beginning, Yolanda was wrong. She was completely wrong.
They deserved to be slapped by Russell

However, Mabel and Yolanda did not feel it was their fault. Instead, they blamed Melody for everything.

If Melody had not returned to Silverlake and caused trouble, everything that had happened recently would not have happened

The two of you!” Russell took a deep breath and stopped slapping Mabel, considering Ulric might be interested in her.

He said coldly, “From today onward, the two of you return to your rooms and reflect on yourselves. When Melody comes back, you have to apologize to her! Do you understand?

Since Melody had such powerful medical skills, she was his most outstanding cash cow.

Although I had already offended this cash cow, how can there be overnight grudges between father and daughter? I’ll make up for it in the future. With that in mind, Russell chased Yolanda and Mabel upstairs while he waited at the door for Melody to return after treating her illness so that he could show his fatherly love to her immediately.

At the same time, at Silverlake Hospital.

The few doctors who had previously consulted Margaret were especially energetic today. After finishing their work, they gathered together.

“Director, we’ve been waiting for so many days. Why hasn’t the Swanson family called?”

That’s right, Director. That girl said she could cure Mrs. Margaret in a week. Today is the last day. If they haven’t called today, does that mean that girl cured Mrs. Margaret?”

The deputy director frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about? That girl can’t cure Mrs. Margaret. Not to mention her, even we need a consultation to think of the best plan.”

The doctors nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, a doctor pointed out the window in surprise and said, “Look! It looks like Mr. Swanson!”

The few people in the office, including the director, looked outside.

They saw Ken carrying a person to the emergency department with a stern and cold expression.

However, that person was covered tightly by Ken’s suit jacket, so no one could recognize that person.

“It must be Mrs. Margaret!” The deputy director showed an untimely smug expression and said. ‘Mrs. Margaret must be on the verge of death, so they sent her over in a hurry. Hurry! Prepare the operating theater quickly. We have to be busy for a while.

“Yes, Director! The doctors immediately went to work, while the deputy director quickly rushed to the emergency department.

Silverlake Hospital had always been overcrowded, but because of Ken’s status, the emergency department, which was so crowded that not even a drop of water could pass through, made room for him.

He carefully placed Melody on the bed and turned to ask the doctor who was examining Melody, “How’s the situation? Is it dangerous? Does she need to be hospitalized?”

The emergency doctor was so frightened by Ken’s cold aura that he almost lost his grip on his stethoscope. He deliberately avoided Ken’s gaze before saying. The patient is dehydrated and has a high fever of 102 F. She needs to be hospitalized. immediately for treatment. Are you her husband? If so, please sign here so we can treat her.

Chapter 92

Hearing the word “husband“, Ken could not help but be stunned.

However, he immediately took the document from the doctor and signed his name.

Seeing that Ken did not refute, the doctor was surprised, thinking. This man is handsome and imposing, and the girl lying on the bed. Her face is so scary. They are so unsuitable for each other. I can’t believe they’re husband and wife.

However, he had been in the emergency department for a long time, so such a thing was not rare. Therefore, the doctor quickly did not dwell on this. He wrote a list and asked Ken to pay the fee.

James, who was beside Ken, did not dare to let Ken pay the bill himself. He quickly took the bill and ran off to work.

Ken did not comment on James’s actions. Melody was still unconscious, and Margaret didn’t walk fast. The parking spot was far from here, so it would probably take her some time to reach the emergency department. At this moment, Melody did need someone to accompany her.

As for this person, if it were anyone else, he would not be at ease.

Ken looked at the girl’s furrowed brows on the bed. For some reason, complicated emotions arose in his heart.

He suddenly thought of Melody’s words when she last appeared in the Swanson family’s residence. He knew now Melody had guessed that Russell and the others would misunderstand and even punish her. That was why she had told Ken that she might not come to the Swanson family for the next few days.

“But how is that possible? She doesn’t know how to predict the future. How would she know that she would be locked up by Russell and unable to leave? Ken narrowed his eyes as he wondered. He felt the girl close to him. However, he could not see her true colors.

Melody’s face was covered in red spots. When he first saw her, he was also shocked.

But now, for some reason, not only did he not find her ugly, but he even felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than most of the socialites in Silverlake.

Melody seemed to have had a bad dream, and her brows furrowed into a frown.

They said that people were the most relaxed when they were asleep. Ken wondered what kind of life Melody had been living in the Fox family that made her frown even in her sleep.

Ken could not help but reach his hand to stroke Melody’s forehead, wanting to smooth out her frown.

However, just as his hand was about to touch Melody’s face, a voice suddenly came from behind. “Mr. Swanson!”

Ken’s hand paused and he turned around with a dark expression

The deputy director put on a fawning expression and said, “Why didn’t you tell me directly when you came? With Mrs. Margaret’s condition, we’ve already arranged everything. Now that the surgery and anesthesia are ready, we’re just waiting for Mrs. Margaret to go in for surgery. There’s no need to wait in the emergency department.”

Ken frowned and asked playfully. “What do you mean?

The deputy director only felt Ken was deliberately making things difficult for him. He coughed twice and said, “Mr. Swanson, don’t beat around the bush with me. I might have accidentally contradicted you previously, but Mrs. Margaret’s safety is the most important thing now. The one–week deadline that that female liar mentioned has already expired, but if I’m not wrong, not only has Mrs. Margaret’s health not recovered, but it’s even worse, right?”

If it wasn’t for that, Ken wouldn’t have rushed to the hospital. It must be because he can’t bring himself to beg us to treat Mrs. Margaret, the deputy director thought

However, since Ken was here, he naturally had to give Ken a way out. At the thought of this, the deputy director continued. “That female har is glib–tongued. It’s not strange that she deceived you and Mrs. Margaret. I’ve seen many liars like her. That kind of people only have money in their minds. They don’t care about the patient’s safety at all”

“Only having money in mind and not caring about the patient’s safety… Ken repeated the deputy director’s words with a

The deputy director looked at the smile on Ken’s face and unknowingly had goosebumps.

Ken was smiling, but for some reason, he felt it was more terrifying than when Ken wasn’t smiling.

Before the deputy director could get rid of the goosebumps on his body, Ken suddenly said: “As expected of the deputy director of Silverlake Hospital. You know your character very well.

The deputy director was stunned. He couldn’t help but ask with a stiff face. “What do you mean?”

Ken chuckled softly and said. “You only have money in your mind and don’t care about the patient’s safety. Aren’t you talking about yourself?”

There were a lot of patients in the emergency room, but not many of them knew he was the deputy director

As soon as Ken said this, the patients and their families in the emergency room looked at the deputy director.

The deputy director was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. When he felt everyone’s gaze, he hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile. “Mr. Swanson, don’t joke with me. You know, I was talking about that female liar.”

“Is that so?” Ken raised his eyebrows and said. “As the deputy director, you don’t think about managing the hospital well. All you think about is how to fill your own pockets. You cooperate with pharmaceutical companies and sell some cheap medicine as imported medicine. You work with equipment companies and sell medical equipment to the hospital at a high price. You secretly accept bribes from the patient’s family. Doesn’t all of this confirm what you just said?”

He only had money in his mind and did not care about the patient’s safety.

Ken’s tone was casual, but every word he said was like a heavy bomb, blasting the deputy director’s mind into a blank.

The emergency room was silent. No one knew who started it, but they threw a ball of discarded tissue paper at the deputy director.

They cursed. “Beast!”

“You’re not worthy of being a doctor!”

In an instant, the emergency room was in chaos.

The deputy director had turned into a person hated by everyone.

In no time, the deputy director was covered in wounds.

Ken just watched all of this indifferently.

He did not investigate the background of this deputy director for Melody, but he investigated every doctor who treated his grandmother. In addition, he had a photographic memory, so he clearly remembered the deputy director’s information.

However, he did not know why he said so much, but he wanted to vent his anger and avenge Melody.

As expected, after venting his anger, he felt much better.

Seeing the farce was getting more intense, the hospital director finally arrived with the security guards. He rescued the bruised and swollen deputy director from the crowd and evacuated the crowd in time.

At this moment, Ramon helped Margaret into the emergency room.

Before the deputy director could recover, he turned around and saw Margaret and Margaret’s flat stomach.

His mind instantly went blank, and a numbing sensation quickly surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

“Mrs. Margaret’s big belly is gone! With that in mind, the deputy director’s vision turned black. He fell to the ground and

fainted Fortunately, there were emergency doctors in the emergency room. They performed CPR and took oxygen. Only then did the deputy director’s condition finally improve.

The director spun in circles on the spot, his mind filled with question marks as he asked, “What’s going on?”

The other doctors who heard the news looked at each other and then at Margaret, who seemed ten years younger. They immediately understood everything.

Chapter 93

They were all so scared that they wanted to faint with the deputy director.

One had to know they had tried their best to stop Melody from treating Margaret. They had even called Melody a liar

Now that a week had passed, the “female liar” they talked about had cured Margaret.

How was this a female liar?

She was simply a female miracle-working doctor!

After all, they had never encountered an illness like Margaret’s before. It was a complicated illness

They could only understand the situation by cutting open her abdomen. However, Melody only prescribed a few traditional medicines and cured her.

With such a comparison, it immediately accentuated their incompetence.

The Swanson family was the biggest shareholder of this hospital, If the Swanson family blamed them, they could forget about continuing in this industry…

At the thought of this possibility, they became restless.

However, Margaret could not be bothered to look at these people. She rushed to Melody’s bed.

What did the doctor say?” she asked Ken with a serious expression

Ken repeated what the doctor said and comforted Margaret. “It shouldn’t be a big deal. Don’t worry.”

“How can I not be worried?” Margaret slapped her thigh and said regretfully, “I should have gone to the Fox family earlier so this child wouldn’t have suffered so much! How cruel Russell is! He even locked up his daughter and made her starve. Even if he doesn’t feel sorry for her, I will!”

Margaret’s heart ached for Melody. She and Maria were good friends. Melody was Maria’s granddaughter, so she was also like a granddaughter to Margaret.

In addition, Melody had cured her illness and given her hope to live. At this moment, when she saw Melody’s pale face and unconsciousness, her heart trembled.

Ken pursed his lips and said nothing

“How about this?” Margaret clapped her hands as she said, “The Fox family didn’t treat Melody well, right? How about this? Marry Melody. When she gets discharged from the hospital, you two will get married! No, there’s no need to wait until she recovers. I’ll go to the city hall personally and help register your marriage! When the two of you get married, I think Russell won’t dare to torture her like this anymore.”

Ken was shocked and quickly stopped Margaret “Grandma! Stop fooling around!”

“I’m not fooling around. I’m very serious. Stay here with Melody Call me immediately when she wakes up. As Margaret spoke, she walked out.

After Margaret recovered from her illness, she had great power of action. She did whatever she wanted and immediately carried it out.

Seeing that Margaret was about to leave the emergency room, Ken could only ask Ramon to stop her.

He said, “Dad, please stop Grandma. Don’t let her fool around.”

However, not only did Raman not stop Margaret, but he also stopped Ken. He said calmly, “Ken, our family had an engagement agreement with the Fox family when you were young. You know about this.”

Ken narrowed his eyes.

“Coincidentally, your grandmother is also satisfied with Miss Fox. Let’s do as your grandmother says. After all, Miss Fox has done us a favor. In addition, she’s not doing well in the Fox family, so we might as well let her stay by your grandmother’s side and accompany her.”

After that, Ramon paused and added, “What’s more, Miss Fox’s character is good. Although she’s not very good–looking, you can’t judge a wife by her appearance. Of course, if you’re not ready, you can hide your marriage first. After you two get married and live together for a year or two, you can get a divorce if you’re still dissatisfied with her

Ken listened to Ramon’s words expressionlessly, and his heart turned cold.

Ramon was indeed cunning. On the surface, everything he said seemed for Ken’s good, but it was all for his benefit.

Ken opened his mouth and suddenly sneered. “Since that’s what you mean, let’s do it,”

“Alright.” Ramon nodded and patted his shoulder. “If Miss Fox wakes up, let me know. I have to prepare for the business trip”

After saying that, Ramon turned around and quickly left the ward. Coincidentally, he bumped into James.

James bowed respectfully to Ramon and watched Ramon enter the elevator before quickly closing the door. He walked up to Ken worriedly and said, “Mr. Ken, how could you agree to marry Miss Fox just like that?”

Ken’s black eyes were filled with an inexplicable coldness, but in the end, he only said calmly. “My grandma wants to have a great-grandson, so I followed her wishes.”

“I know Mrs. Margaret means well, but Miss Fox.. comes from the countryside after all. She doesn’t seem to know anything else except for her medical skills. I reasonably suspect Mr. Ramon has other motives for letting her marry you. You can’t agree so easily.” James looked so worried as he said.

Ken did not say anything. He did not know what Ramon was up to

Ken had managed the branch company in Insterimond well in the past two years. He had nurtured almost all the higher-ups in the branch company-

Such a situation was very disadvantageous to Ramon’s power.

Now, Ramon had arranged for Melody, who knew nothing, to be Ken’s wife. This would affect Ken’s future development.

However, Ramon had forgotten that Ken had relied on no one else to get here step by step.

A wife who knew nothing could not shackle Ken.

On the contrary, if he accepted it just like that, it would make Ramon let down his guard and feel Ken was easy to manipulate.

In this way, it would help Ken infiltrate the headquarters and take back Pearly Antiques.

In addition, he did not seem to hate Melody.

She didn’t look like someone who would cause trouble for him. That was enough.

“You don’t have to say anything,” Ken said expressionlessly. Just take it as me being filial to my grandmother.”

He did not care much about marriage. It was just like his father. Keg once thought his parents were the most loving couple in the world. However, he realized he had a younger brother outside after his mother died.

He thought marriage was a ridiculous thing to begin with.

James dared not say anything else when he could not persuade Ken. He knew that his boss must have his thoughts. A common person like him could not understand.

However, when he looked at Melody lying on the bed again, his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

With the director around, the hospital quickly arranged a single VIP ward for Melody

The director soon found out what the deputy director had done. He immediately fired the deputy director and promised never to hire him again.

The deputy director’s path had come to an end.

As for the other doctors, Ken deliberately did not mention them

He executed one as a warning to others. If the deputy director fell from grace, the other doctors would behave themselves in the future.

Medical resources were scarce after the global influenza outbreak two years ago. Even if Ken mentioned those few people, the director might not be willing to fire them all.

Moreover, those people were all famous figures in the medical field.

He did not care about those people and could not be bothered to care. What he cared about was that those people could not guarantee they could cure Margaret, but Melody did.

So… where did she learn her medical skills? Ken wondered.

Chapter 94

“Go. Ken instructed James in a low voice. “Find out who Melody knew when she was in the countryside. Most importantly ⠀find out whom she learned her medical skills from“

He wanted to investigate Melody’s background.

Even if Ken married Melody to suit his grandmother’s wishes, he could not tolerate his nominal wife being a person of unknown background.

“Okay!” James had long wanted to do this. He immediately agreed and went to the countryside to investigate.

At the same time, Janet, who had made an appointment with Jaines to see a house, waited in front of the real estate sales building for two hours, but James was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the real estate salesperson walked to her with a strange expression and asked, “Miss, it’s been two hours. When do you plan to pay?”

Janet noticed the other party’s eyes were filled with disdain and displeasure, questioning whether she could afford a house

Janet’s expression was dark as she replied, “I’m waiting for someone. I’ll go pay soon.”

It was not that she could not afford it. It was just 6 million dollars. To her, it wasn’t an insignificant sum of money.

However, this was a house given to her by Ken Who would pay for it had a different meaning.

However, the salesperson’s expression was even more disdainful She stuck out her nose and said. “Miss, you’re so beautiful. Why do you have to rely on a man at such a young age instead of relying on yourself? It’s not that I want to say this, but the price of this house is not low. Are you sure the man behind you will fork out this money for you? Why don’t we stop wasting each other’s time! Coincidentally, a guest has taken a fancy to the house you chose. You can come again another day.”

“What do you mean?” Even Janet, a socialite, could not help but be angry.

She asked, “Are you saying I have a sugar daddy!”

The salesperson shrugged. “I didn’t say that. Don’t accuse me.”

“You…” Janet had a high self–esteem. Coupled with the fact that she was the young lady of the Murphy family in Insterimand, she didn’t care to quarrel with these lower–class people. This was an act of lowering her status.

Hence, Janet opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She went to the payment office with a cold expression and bought the house.

Janet only felt better when she saw the salesperson’s surprised gaze.

After she walked out of the door, Janet took a deep breath before dialing James’s phone.

James had followed Ken since he was young. To Ken, James was only his subordinate. He was also Ken’s friend who had risked his life for Ken. It was why Janet waited two hours without calling James to urge him.

Not long after, James’s call went through.

“Miss Murphy, what’s the matter?” As soon as James said that, he realized he had forgotten Ken’s other instruction to buy a house with Janet today.

He choked and was about to apologize when he heard Janet laugh understandingly. “Looks like you’re very busy today”

Hearing this. James felt even more guilty. Tm sorry, Miss Murphy. I forgot… It’s all my fault. I’ll come over immediately.”

“No need. I’ve already height the house. I’m calling in case you come all this way for nothing,” said Janet.

James’s face turned red with guilt, and his grip on the phone involuntarily tightened. “Miss Murphy, I….I need to tell you something”

“Yes! Just say it.” Janet sounded indifferent

“Actually Mr. Ken and Miss Fox are about to get married,” said James.

He knew Ken did not want to tell anyone about this now, but he knew Janet’s feelings for Ken. Janet was such an understanding person, so he did not want to hide it from her.

When the person on the other end of the phone heard James’s words, she almost fell.

“What… did you say?” Janet tried to steady herself, but her voice was still trembling.

At the entrance of the city hall.

Margaret used her connections to successfully register marriage for Melody and Ken when they didn’t even come personally.

She took the marriage certificate and ran to the hospital happily However, just as she arrived at the hospital, she bumped into Astrid and Ulric.

When Margaret saw Astrid, the smile on her face disappeared.

Ever since she took Melody’s medicine and vomited blood for the first time, Astrid, who used to visit her in her room every day, seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and never came again.

Even Ulric seemed to have disappeared

No matter how old she was, no matter how slow her reaction was. Margaret knew that these two people thought that she was going to die and no longer treated her the same as before.

The only person truly filial to her was her grandson, Ken.

“You’re here.” Margaret’s expression had completely turned cold

Astrid’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Margaret’s flat stomach.

It was one thing to hear the news of Margaret’s recovery from the phone, but she could not help but be shocked to see it with her own eyes, thinking. I can’t believe that ugly country girl had some skills.

Astrid had miscalculated this part!

If I had known this would happen, I would have tried my best to poison Margaret’s medicine, Astrid thought viciously, but she still smiled in surprise.

“Are you recovered for real, Margaret? I heard from the maids on the phone. I thought they were lying to me to make me feel better. I didn’t expect it to be true. As Astrid spoke, she secretly pinched her thigh, and tears flowed down her face.

Those who didn’t know the situation would think Astrid was crying tears of joy,

When Margaret heard this, she frowned slightly and asked, “What do you mean by making you feel better?”

Ulric, who was in the wheelchair, said at the right time, “Here’s the thing, Grandma. My mother heard from others that an orthopedic expert was powerful, so she had brought me to meet that expert in the past few days. However, when the diagnosis was out today, it was still not good, so my mother was not in a good mood. It was only when she heard that you had recovered that she was a little happier. We immediately rushed back from the expert.

It was what the mother and son had come up with on the way here.

When Margaret heard this, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had misunderstood Astrid and Ulric.

After two seconds of silence, Margaret sighed. She didn’t want to think about the dark side of others in the end. She nodded and said, “My body has recovered, so don’t worry. If I can recover from this illness, the possibility of Ulric recovering is higher than mine because he’s still young.

At this point, Margaret hesitated and asked, “Why don’t you ask Melody if she knows how to treat Ulric’s legs?”

Astrid expression froze. She felt disgusted when she thought of Melody.

She tried to maintain her facial expression and waved her hand to reject Margaret. “There’s no need. We received good news on this trip. As long as we find an acupuncture doctor who can perform nine-line acupuncture, coupled with rehabilitation with the help of that expert, Ulric’s legs can still be recovered.

Margaret nodded. “That’s good, that’s good… By the way, I forgot to tell you something. I’ve already arranged for Melody and Ken to register their marriage. After Ulric finds a doctor, you can arrange their wedding when free. After all, I’m old, and there are many things that I can’t do.

Chapter 95

Margaret’s words shocked Astrid and Ulric so much.

The moment Margaret said those words, Astrid’s eyes widened.

Even Ulric opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with shock,

Ken wants to marry that ugly woman? With that woman’s look, I can’t make out with her even after turning off the lights. What is Ken thinking? Is he crazy, or does he have another motive? Ulric’s mind raced, but he could not find an answer.

However, there was a vague sense of uneasiness and uncertainty in his heart. It was as if something had changed and was getting further and further away from him.

Before Ulric could figure out why he felt this way, Margaret took out their marriage certificate as if she were presenting a treasure. “Look, this is their marriage certificate. I was about to send it to them, but I ran for half a day today and my strength has been exhausted. Since you’re here, help me send it up. Something happened to Melody’s family. She has a high fever and is hospitalized. She’s on the tenth floor of the inpatient department

Unlike Ulric, Astrid did not think much about it. She only felt that her son finally did not have to marry an ugly woman from the countryside and be mocked by the entire Silverlake. She was already overjoyed.

Astrid swallowed hard and took the marriage certificate happily Then, she said, “If you’re not feeling well, go back and rest quickly. You’ve just recovered from a serious illness and need to recuperate more. Ulric and I will help you send this marriage certificate up. I can give my daughter–in–law a big present.

Margaret nodded and smiled again. She held the maid’s hand and left.

As soon as Margaret left, Astrid could no longer hide her joy. She said ecstatically, “Ulric! That’s great! I knew God would bless us since I often went to the church! Now you don’t have to marry that country girl anymore. Margaret has helped us a lot!

When Ulric heard this, confusion appeared in his eyes.

He asked, “What country girl are you talking about? Isn’t Ken’s marriage partner the ugly woman who used to be the top socialite in Silverlake?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Astrid was stunned. She suddenly patted Ulric’s shoulder and said, “Ulric, are you mistaken? That ugly woman is the girl from the countryside, Melody. The top socialite in Silverlake is her sister, Mabel.”

Ulric was instantly stunned, thinking, ‘So… I have been wrong all along?”

After realizing he had confused Mabel and Melody, Ulric’s expression became even darker.

He couldn’t help but wonder, ‘If Ken doesn’t care about the title of the top socialite, why did he marry that ugly woman from the countryside?’

“We have to find out immediately who Melody is,” said Ulric.

“Who could she be? I’ve already investigated. She’s Wilona’s daughter. After Yolanda entered the Fox family, she thought of a way to get that girl to the countryside. That girl only returned this year. Who do you think she is? A useless country bumpkin!”

“Is that true? Ulric still didn’t want to believe it.

However, Astrid sent the results of the investigation directly to his phone. He read the information and confirmed that Melody was an ordinary girl who had grown up in the countryside.

“Am I overthinking? Is Ken’s goal only to make Grandma happy? If that’s the case, I seem to have overestimated Ken. Ulric thought.

One had to know that it was a big deal for people of their class to marry someone. A wife could be a springboard or a representation of their identity. But they would never marry a country woman like Melody, who had no background, no ability, and was extremely ugly.

After thinking this through, Ulric was no longer tense. Instead, he took the marriage certificate from Astrid’s hand, wanting to go up and see Ken’s expression.

“He’s marrying an ugly freak. He probably won’t look good. With that thought in mind, Ulric’s lips curled up, and a sly glint flashed across his eyes as he followed Astrid to the tenth floor of the inpatient department.

When he reached the tenth floor, he saw Ken communicating with the nurse at the ward door.

Ken had always been a meticulous person. He always seemed to be wearing a suit with his buttons buttoned up tightly, covering his Adam’s apple and collarbone tightly. He looked restrained and cold.

Usually, when he saw Ken like this, Ulric would have a complicated feeling in his heart. But now that he saw Ken, he was in a good mood.

“Ken.” Ulric took the initiative to greet him and said gentlemanly, “I heard Miss Fox has a fever. How is she now?”

With that, Ulric suddenly covered his mouth and smiled. “Sorry, I forgot to change how I addressed her. I shouldn’t call her Miss Fox anymore. I should call her sister-in-law.

He deliberately provoked Ken, but Ken said calmly. “She’s much better. Thank you for being so concerned.”

Ulric choked and felt defeated because he didn’t anger Ken.

“You’ve changed a lot in the past few years, Ulric said through gritted teeth.

In the past, Ken could be angered by a few words from him, but now, he felt nothing he said could hurt Ken.

What has Ken experienced in the past few years when I was not in Silverlake to make him much stronger than before?‘ Ulric wondered:

“You too, Ken calmly asked, “Is there anything else?”

If there is nothing else, you can get lost, Ken thought but didn’t say it out loud.

Ulric deliberately pretended not to understand that Ken was chasing him away. He turned to Astrid and said, “Mom, please go and see… if my sister–in–law needs help. Ken is a man after all It might be inconvenient for him to take care of her

When he went upstairs, he instructed Astrid to check on Melody.

After all, there might be omissions in the information from the investigation.

Astrid understood and barged into the ward without waiting for Ken to stop her.

Ken was about to follow when Ulric grabbed the corner of his shirt. “Ken, we haven’t had a good chat since you returned.”

“I have nothing to talk to you about.” After saying that, Ken was about to walk in.

However, in the next second, Ulric suddenly said, “Pearly Antiques…”

Ken stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ulric coldly. “What exactly are you going to say?”

In the ward, Melody had just woken up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Astrid looking at her from head to toe.

Where: Where am I? With the question in mind, Melody quickly looked around and confirmed that this was a hospital.

“Mr. Swanson” She forced a smile and said. “Why are you here?

Astrid did not mind to pretend with Melody anymore. She sneered and said, “I wanted to ask you the same question. Aren’t you very good at medicine? If you’re so good at medicine, why are you here?”

When Melody saw this, she smiled and said. “Thank you for your praise. My medical skills are not that good. It just so happened that I could cure Margaret’s illness. I’m only better than most of the doctors,”

Astrid i expression instantly darkened when she heard that. Darn it, She was showing off!”

She said with a dark expression, I didn’t expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve even though you’re so ugly. It’s the Fox family’s honor to have someone like you marry into the Swanson family!”
