Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 146, 147, 148, 149 and 150)  

Chapter 146

The man rubbed the spot where he was hit in pain. Anger rose from his heart and he turned to glare at Melody angrily. “What are you doing!”

Melody finally saw the man’s face. She shook her head expressionlessly. “Ryan, I remember that your desk is not here, right? What are you looking for in my cabinet? It’s not a good habit to steal

Ryan felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw Melody’s attitude, he simply gave up and scolded, “I am not stealing. Don’t fucking slander me!”

Melody frowned. Then may I ask why you went through my cabinet?

Coincidentally, the employees had finished eating and returned one after another. Seeing this, they started to help Melody.

An employee asked, “Mr. Fox, what did you take from Miss Fox! If you don’t hand it over, don’t blame us for calling the police.

Another person said. “I really didn’t expect… you to be such a person. No, we should have noticed this long ago!”

Everyone looked at Ryan as if he was a thief.

Ryan could no longer maintain his dignity. His cheeks were red as he growled, “Shut up! I didn’t steal anything don’t care about her things!”

Melody crossed her arms, determined to deal with Ryan. Then tell me, why were you rummaging through my cabinet? If you were not stealing, were you helping me clean the cabinet?”

Someone could not help but laugh.

A person urged, “Mr. Fox, don’t be stubborn now, Just hand it over obediently.”

Ryan glared at that person fiercely. That colleague could not help but look away in panic.

After all, Ryan was also related to their boss. If he really complained to the big boss, this employee might get fired.

When Ryan saw that the person was silent, he raised his chin and retorted, “You said that I rummaged through your cabinet. Do you have evidence? Did anyone else see it? You clearly wanted to chase me out of the company long ago, so you deliberately made up a lie. If the rest of you believe her, you’re fools!”

Ryan was very confident that when he went through the cabinet just now, only Melody saw it After all, it was a dishonorable thing to look through another’s cabinet, even if he did not find what he was looking for. As long as he refused to admit it, he felt that no one could say that he had searched Melody’s cabinet.

When Melody heard Ryan’s words, he could not help but laugh mockingly. He narrowed his eyes and reminded, “Ryan, don’t forget that there are surveillance cameras in the office area, Just because others don’t see it doesn’t mean that the surveillance cameras can’t see it. My desk is facing a surveillance camera. Think about it before you speak.”

However, to Melody’s surprise, Ryan’s expression did not change at all. “Alright, go check the surveillance cameras and let everyone see your true colors! As long as you’re not afraid that everyone will know that you’re slandering me, go and investigate!”

Melody could not help but feel suspicious.

She thought. Did Ryan tamper with the surveillance footage?

She tilted her head and was about to go to the surveillance room to investigate when a young lady who was usually ordered around by Ryan volunteered, “I’ll help you investigate!” Melody nodded. “Thank you”

The young lady did not say anything else and went to the surveillance room.

Not long after, the lady returned from the surveillance room. However, her expression was a little complicated.

She said, “Miss Fox, the archive of the surveillance footage has been closed at some point. We can’t read today’s surveillance footage.”

Melody had already guessed this outcome the moment she saw her expression. She turned to look at Ryan coldly. “I was wondering why you dared to ask me to check the surveillance footage.

Ryan shrugged and said fearlessly, “Congratulations, cousin. The surveillance camera happened to be broken. Your true colors will not be known by everyone for the time being. However, sooner or later, everyone will know that you’re not as innocent as you look.”

As Ryan spoke, he pointed out the people who had called him a thief just now. After glancing at them one by one, he said, “The few of you have slandered me. Just wait to be fired! Also, I am going to sue all of you. See you in court!”

As soon as he said this, the few people whose names were called trembled in fear.

Especially the young lady who had taken the initiative to help Melody check the surveillance cameras. She was so frightened that her eyes turned red as if she could cry in the next second.

Melody knew that the young lady had just graduated from university and could not withstand such a shock.

-Ryan was still threatening people. “I’m reminding you out of kindness that the crime of defamation is a serious offense! If you know what’s good for you, apologize to me immediately. I might even be kind enough to forgive you.”

The young lady who had just graduated shivered and subconsciously wanted to go forward and apologize to Ryan.

Seeing this, Melody grabbed her sleeve and said. “You don’t have to apologize to this kind of person

The little girl’s name was Ali Conner. She bit her lower lip aggrievedly and pushed Melody’s hand away. “Miss Fox, I’m different from you. My family is very poor. My mother is still waiting for me to take this month’s salary back to treat Dad. So… please don’t stop me.

As soon as Ali said this, the others could no longer Stand still. They all stepped forward and prepared to apologize to Ryan.

They were all ordinary people and could not afford to be sued for defamation. Some began to complain about themselves and doubt Melody.

A person said, “I’m really crazy. Why should I meddle in other people’s business? We end up being the ones sacrificed for the war between these two people.”

Another person said, “This matter is indeed strange. Ryan is also related to the big boss. He can’t be so poor that he needs to steal things. I think we might have trusted the wrong person. Perhaps Melody really put on a show and acted this out to chase him away.”

Someone else said, “That’s right. After all, none of us saw if Ryan really went through her cabinet.

A person said. “Forget it. Hurry up and apologize to Ryan. No matter what the truth is, it’s better to avoid trouble.”

While everyone was whispering, the little girl, Ali, had already walked up to Ryan.

She gritted her teeth, suppressed the humiliation in her heart, and said, “Mr. Fox…”

“No need to apologize to him!” Melody pulled Ali over again. Ali looked into Melody’s eyes and shook her head. “Miss Fox, I know you’re being kind, but I have to apologize to him. I really can’t lose my job, so please let go of me.”

“Trust me.” Melody looked at Ali and said seriously. “I have a way to make you not need to apologize.”

Ali looked at Melody’s serious expression and hesitated for a moment.

For some reason, she trusted Melody very much.

After hesitating for two seconds, Ali took a deep breath and suddenly nodded. “Alright, I believe you!”

When Ryan heard this conversation, he became even more arrogant. He glanced sideways at Ali and said, “Think about it carefully. Do you want to keep Melody as your friend or to keep this job? If Melody gets in trouble, she will at most be scolded by her father. If you offend me, you will lose everything!

Chapter 147

Ryan’s words were very threatening.

Melody had already lost her patience. Before Ali could say anything, Melody spoke first. “Ryan, I can say the same thing about you. If you apologize to me now, I can still give you a chance, but if you’re still stubborn, don’t blame me for taking action.”

Ryan sneered and said. “Alright, I’d like to see how you’re going to take action.”

Melody glanced at Ryan coldly. Then, she took out her phone and quickly operated it.

Ryan could not see what was on Melody’s phone. He frowned and said, “If you want your father to solve this problem, save it. I believe that not only will he not help you, but he will also scold you for causing trouble for him!”

He knew Melody’s status in the Fox family. She was the daughter who came back from the countryside and was far inferior to Mabel. Ryan felt that perhaps in Russell’s heart, Melody was not as important to him. Otherwise. Russell would not have let Melody come to this headhunting company with him. Instead, he should have sent Melody directly to the Justalion Group.

However, after Ryan finished speaking. Melody did not react at all.

He could not help but say unhappily, “Hey! I’m talking to you!”

Melody still did not respond. She lowered her head and quickly typed on her phone.

Just as Ryan was about to speak again, Melody’s eyes finally moved away from the phone and landed coldly on Ryan. Then, she suddenly smiled faintly,

This smile sent a chill down Ryan’s spine. “What are you laughing at?”

Melody suppressed her smile and turned to look behind him. She said calmly. Can someone please turn on the big screen in the office?”

Ali reacted the fastest and went straight to open the projector of the office.

Ryan could not help but mutter, “What are you doing? We’re talking about you slandering me. Why did you turn on the projector?”

Melody then looked at Ryan again and said. “Didn’t you want evidence? Don’t worry. I’ll give it to you now.

As she spoke, she used her phone to connect to the big screen.

Ryan could not help but feel uneasy.

He thought, ‘Could it be that this ugly woman really has evidence? But that is impossible. At that time, there were only Melody and me in the office. The others had come in later. In addition, I have already tampered with the surveillance camera. It is impossible for Melody to have any evidence!”

With that thought in mind, Ryan’s anxious heart calmed down a little. Then, he put on an expression as if he was not afraid. He wanted to see what Melody could do to him.

At this moment, the projection showed that the Bluetooth connection was successful. The next second, surveillance footage appeared on the big screen.

On the screen, Ryan entered the office and looked around. Then, he squatted down in front of Melody’s desk and began to rummage through the drawer. Later, Melody appeared on the screen. After the two of them argued, the others appeared one after another.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. Then, they stared at Ryan. There was surprise and disdain in their eyes, but most of them were angry.

They thought, ‘Melody was clearly the victim, but Ryan actually accused her and even wanted to sue us for defamation? What kind of weirdo is this man?”

Ryan didn’t even bother to look at the big screen at first because he felt that Melody was putting on an act. It was only when he felt his colleagues looking at him with increasingly unfriendly gazes that he turned to look at the big screen.

When he saw the video displayed on the big screen, Ryan’s eyes widened in disbelief. His pupils shrank to a point. “How…. how is this possible”

Melody smiled coldly and asked, “Why not? Don’t you know that even if the surveillance footage is not saved, there is still a memory chip in the memory chip that can be read from it?”

Ryan’s brain seemed to have exploded. At the same time, he suddenly realized what Melody was doing with the phone. She was not asking Russell for help, but checking the surveillance records in the surveillance room.

He thought, “No wonder she said that she had evidence. All of this is not pretentious, but true!

Ryan’s lips turned pale. He looked at Melody as if he was looking at a ghost. “How do you know such things? Only hackers know this. You’re clearly… a country bumpkin who just returned to Silverlake from the countryside!”

Melody could not be bothered to respond to Ryan’s words. She met Ryan’s gaze expressionlessly and questioned. “The evidence has been presented. What else do you have to say?”

Ryan choked and did not know how to explain.

Melody suddenly clapped her hands and said, I almost forgot. There’s another piece of evidence

As she spoke, she started working on her phone again. A new scene appeared on the big screen. The scene on the screen was the surveillance room.

On the screen, Ryan tiptoed into the surveillance room and operated the main computer in the surveillance room.

Seeing this scene, Ali could not help but exclaim, “Ryan! So you were the one who turned off the automatic save of the surveillance footage!”

The colleagues who had been threatened by Ryan also spoke.

A person said. “Ryan, you’re really careless. Don’t you know that there are surveillance cameras in the surveillance room?”

Another person said, “I was wondering why Miss Fox would slander you for no reason. You’re relatives after all.”

Someone else said, “Miss Fox is the daughter of the big boss. If she wants to chase you away, she only needs to make a phone call. Is there a need to go through so much trouble? You rummaged through her drawer and still refused to admit it. How shameless!

A person said, “You’re a big man, yet you’re so petty that you want to slander a girl. You are not worthy to be a man!”

His colleagues had been used to being oppressed by Ryan for the past few days. Now that the evidence was right in front of them and they saw that Ryan was the perpetrator, their words were as unpleasant as they could be.

Ryan’s expression was very terrible. He was furious and embarrassed, but he could not refute the fact. He was very nervous. At this time, Kayla Simon came back from her lunch break.

When she saw the situation in the office, she couldn’t help but frown. “It’s already time for work. Why aren’t you returning to your desks? What are you doing! Don’t you want this job anymore?”

Usually, the person Ali feared the most was Kayla, But now, Ali mustered up her courage and walked up to Kayla. She explained to Kayla what had just happened in the simplest way possible.

In the end, she did not forget to say emotionally, “Kayla, Ryan even dared to wrong Miss Fox today. What about tomorrow? Will you be the next person to be slandered?”

Kayla frowned unhappily and glared at Ryan. “Is Ali telling the truth?”

Ryan subconsciously wanted to retort, but he knew that as long as he rebutted, he would be greeted with a new wave of humiliation…

At the thought of this, he said desperately, “Kayla, don’t listen to her one-sided story!”

Chapter 148

Ali didn’t know where Ryan got the courage to retort in front of Kayla. “What do you mean by one-sided? Is this one-sided? The surveillance footage has been found. Do you still want to deny it? You said that we’re guilty of defamation, but what about you? How do you account for the crime of defamation and threats?”

When Melody heard this, he did not say anything. She only silently replayed the surveillance footage. Kayla was not stupid. She immediately determined who was telling the truth.

Recently, she was quite satisfied with Melody’s performance, but this Ryan was simply very disappointing.

Kayla looked at the surveillance footage and asked Ryan in disgust. “I’ve seen the surveillance footage. Is this what you mean by a one-sided story!”

Ryan had already thought of an excuse and hurriedly said, “That’s not what I meant. I can admit that I did search Melody’s. drawer, but I was not stealing Melody’s things as they said: I was looking for work information that is shared with everyone. It’s fine for me to use the information to help the company poach candidates, right?”

Kayla pursed her lips. “What information?”

Ryan immediately pointed at Melody and said, “I’ve made it clear to Melody that we’ll be working on this project of Zack together. However, she doesn’t share any information with me at all. I’m afraid that her personal desires will affect this project, so I went to look for information.”

Melody sneered and said, “Information? How can you prove that you’re looking for information and not to see if there’s anything valuable inside?”

“You… Ryan gritted his teeth. “If you don’t believe me, you can search my body. I didn’t take anything from your

Melody said with a half–smile, “That’s because I came back in time and you didn’t have time to take anything. If you really wanted to search for work documents, why did you specifically run to the surveillance room to turn off the automatic archive of the surveillance? This isn’t something you need to do to take work documents, right?”

Ryan’s expression froze. That’s because….

After a long pause, Ryan could not find a reasonable reason. Because that reason was really despicable.

He turned off the surveillance archive because he did not want Melody to know that he had stolen her information. He wanted to know more about Zack than she did without Melody knowing.

When Melody saw that Ryan did not speak, she smiled coldly and turned to Kayla. “Kayla, you are the manager of the company. I need a fair and reasonable judgment for this matter

Kayla was silent for two seconds. She then nodded and turned to Ryan. “According to the company’s rules, please pack up and leave immediately. As for whether you are reported for theft… you can discuss it with Melody yourself”

Ryan’s face instantly turned as pale as a sheet of white paper.

He thought, I am fired?”

“No, no…” At this moment. Ryan had thrown his pride and dignity to the back of his mind and was about to beg Kayla for mercy

However, Kayla did not give Ryan any time to beg for mercy. She turned around and left the office without a care.

The company had always operated in an orderly manner. Ever since Melody and Ryan arrived, the company had become a mess. Kayla couldn’t wait to send them away. Anyway, when Russell asked, she would have a suitable reason to explain.

Ryan watched as Kayla disappeared from his sight. His last hope was destroyed.

However, he immediately realized that the only person who could resolve this matter was Melody.

Ryan struggled internally and could only throw away his dignity helplessly. He went forward and grabbed Melody’s hand to beg. “Melody, no matter what, I’m still your cousin. You can’t bear to see me fired, right?”

Melody raised her chin slightly and said coldly, “Ryan, it’s precisely because you’re my cousin that I gave you a chance. You didn’t want this opportunity. Have you forgotten?

Ryan was stunned. He remembered that Melody did give him a chance when she turned on the projection

However, he didn’t expect her to know how to hack since she came from the countryside.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have rummaged through Melody’s drawer in the first place to look for that information. Ryan was filled with regret.

“Melody. Melody..” Ryan gritted his teeth and knelt before Melody. “Melody, you know about my family situation, right? I can’t lose this job. It’s all my fault. Melody, please forgive me. Help me tell Kayla that it’s all a misunderstanding, okay? I’m begging you!”

In fact, like Ali, he couldn’t lose this job. Although he was related to the Fox family, to be precise, he was Russell’s relative.

Before Russell married Wilona, he was just a poor kid who worked as a construction worker. Needless to say, his relatives were very ordinary. Especially Ryan who was his distant relative who lived in the countryside. It was not easy for him to get a chance to work in Silverlake. He could not lose it so easily. At this moment, he was even willing to accept a slap from Melody to keep this job.

Melody looked at Ryan who had become so humble, but there was no pity on her face. “Ryan, I gave you a chance, but you threw it away. And I will only give you one chance. So… don’t waste your energy”

As she spoke, she turned to look at the other employees. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase this person who doesn’t belong to our company out.”

Following Melody’s command, those who had long disliked Ryan directly carried Ryan out.

Ryan finally understood that there was no turning back. He simply cursed. “Bitch! Remember this. I will never let you off!”

Melody nodded repeatedly. “Alright. I’ll be waiting.”

As she spoke, she gave her male colleagues a look. They immediately understood and quickened their pace to carry Ryan out. The moment the office door closed, the world finally fell silent.

She patted the hand that Ryan had touched just now as if she was brushing away some germs. At that moment, her phone rang.

She glanced at the screen and saw that it was Colin Herbert calling. Seeing that it was a call from Colin, she immediately answered the call and walked out while making the call. “Hello, Mr. Herbert.”

“Miss Fox!” Colin sounded very excited. “Are you free now?”

Melody asked, “Where are you?”

Colin answered, Hospital. I’m going back to Herbathrive now,”

She said, “Okay, let’s meet at Herbathrive.”

“Alright!” Colin did not waste any time and ended the call.

Melody quickly hailed the cab, and the cab sped toward Herbathrive.

Before long. Melody arrived at Herbathrive’s door. David Marrow stood at the door, seemingly welcoming her.

As expected, as soon as she got out of the car, David ran towards her. “Miss Fox! My master wants you to go to the backyard to talk to him immediately.”

Chapter 149

Melody nodded and walked in quickly with a calm expression.

On the way, David could not help but ask, “Miss Fox, what exactly happened? I saw that Mr. Herbert and Mrs. Herbert did not look good. The two of them seemed to have quarreled. The atmosphere was scary. I did not dare to ask him.”

Melody glanced at David. “You don’t dare to ask him but dare to ask me?”

David trembled under Melody’s gaze. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, I’m sorry. I’m going to get busy. Call me if you need anything. Although my medical skills are not good, my eloquence is not bad. It’s not a problem to coax Mrs. Herbert.”

“Alright, cut the crap. Go back to your work,” said Melody.

“Alright.” David replied and quickly went back to the counter.

Melody came to the backyard alone and saw a door half open. The sound of two people arguing could be heard from inside.

“I already told you to go to the hospital for a physical examination, but you refused. Now that the physical examination has been done and the result is out, why are you so stubborn and unwilling to be hospitalized?” Colin asked.

Melody heard the extremely gentle Beverly, who never spoke loudly in the past, say in a high–pitched voice, “Why? Just tell me why? Why else could it be? This is cancer. Even if I were to be hospitalized, it would be impossible to cure it Instead of wasting money, it’s better to keep this money. You’re still young now, Wouldn’t it be better for you to find someone else

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Colin asked in frustration,

I’m not talking nonsense! I’ve been thinking about it ever since I got the checkup result. I can’t have children. I’ve been recuperating for so many years but can’t have children. Now that I have cancer, what do you want a wife like me for? With your current wealth, wouldn’t it be better for you to find a beautiful young woman who can have children? Why do you have to waste your time on me?” Beverly asked.

“Beverly!” Colin sounded so angry.

In order not to aggravate the dispute, Melody did not dare to stay any longer. She quickly walked to the door and knocked on it. “Mr. Herbert.”

As she spoke, the room instantly fell silent.

Colin walked out. When he saw her, he said awkwardly. I’m sorry. Miss Fox. You probably heard everything. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”

Melody shook her head and said, “No. I just arrived. Did something happen”

Seeing that she did not seem to have heard anything, Colin could not help but sigh. Then, he bowed deeply to her gratefully and said. “Miss Fox. I have to thank you!”

Melody knew that the two of them must have gone to the hospital for a full–body checkup today and found out that Beverly had gastric cancer.

However, she could not tell anyone about her rebirth and ability to foresee the future, so she pretended to be confused and asked, “Thank me? For what?”

Colin sighed heavily again and pulled her into the courtyard. He lowered his voice and said, “Last time, you told me that my wife had gastrointestinal problems and asked me to bring her for a gastroscopy. For some reason, my wife was unwilling to the hospital. Today, I finally convinced her to go to the hospital. In the end, it was found that… it was stomach cancer.

When Colin said the words “stomach cancer, Melody felt endless pain.

She thought that she had come to look for Colin very early, and Beverly might not have had stomach cancer yet. She did not expect it to be a little late.

However, even if she came to Herbathrive as soon as she returned to Silverlake, the outcome should be the same.

Melody did not interrupt and waited patiently for Colin to finish

Colin continued, “Although it’s gastric cancer, we discovered it early, and it’s still in the early stages. I can only say that things aren’t the worst. But my wife, well, although she’s usually easygoing, she’s stubborn and refuses to cooperate with the hospital’s treatment. I, I don’t know what to do”

As Colin spoke, he shook his head and said. “Forget it. I won’t talk about this with you. I called you here today to fulfill my promise. Traditional medicine emphasizes finding the problems through observing and communicating with the patients. You can tell her illness just by looking at her, but I, the person living with her, can’t. It means that your medical skills might even be better than mine. You’re so young, yet you have such ability. Only Mr. Parker can have the ability to teach you, so I believe you’re his disciple. According to the agreement, I’ll get Deathtenaire for you now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Colin took a step and was about to walk into the storeroom.

Melody quickly stopped Colin. “Mr. Herbert, Deathtenaire is not urgent. I think Mrs. Herbert’s and I can hit off. Can I check her out, if you don’t mind?”

Colin was stunned before asking happily. “You’re willing to treat my wife? Mr. Parker doesn’t treat people easily. I thought you were also…”

Melody shrugged. “I don’t treat people easily, but you’re different. You gave me Deathtenaire. I can’t take something and not do anything, right?”

“But I’m just fulfilling my promise… Colin looked hesitant.

“Looks like you think my medical skills are not good enough to treat your wife. In that case, I’d better leave Melody pretended to leave. Colin quickly stopped her. Then, he didn’t stand on ceremony. He repeatedly said, “Don’t! Don’t go!”

Melody had no intention of leaving for real. When she heard this, she smiled and said, “Since you don’t mind, I’ll try. I should be able to treat the initial stage of stomach cancer. It’s just a matter of time.”

Colin nodded repeatedly, but then he said worriedly, I’m afraid not today. She’s in a bad mood today and refused to treat her illness. I’ve already completed the hospitalization procedures, but she still came back. Wait for me to convince her first before I call you over.”

Unknowingly, the tone in which Colin addressed Melody was no longer distant

Melody smiled and said, I’ll help you to the end. Let me help you persuade Mrs. Herbert too”

“You?” Colin said hesitantly, “She’s very stubborn. You might…

“How will you know if you don’t try?” Melody asked.

Colin saw Melody insisted, so he nodded and said. “Alright, let’s try it first. I’ll bring you in to see her.”

Wail Melody stopped Colin and said, “She’s not in a good mood now. If you follow me in, it might make her more: resistant. How about this? Please wait for me outside. I’ll go in myself”

Colin hesitated for a moment before replying. “Okay!”

Seeing that Colin agreed, Melody entered the room and closed the door. She knew Beverly At the same time, she was also a woman. She knew why Beverly refused to receive treatment.

Beverly was crying on the bed. When she heard the voice, she said without looking up. “Stop talking, Let’s get a divorce!”

Melody’s eyelids twitched.

Based on how much Colin cares about Beverly, he will explode when he hears this. Fortunately, I’ve blocked Colin outside! Melody thought.

Melody took a deep breath and said, “It’s me.”

When Beverly heard an unfamiliar voice, her body could not help but stiffen. She quickly raised her head and looked at Melody.

“You, you are…” Beverly’s mind raced. She quickly remembered that Melody was the person who came to buy rare medicinal herbs that day.

Chapter 150

When Beverly thought of who Melody was, she suddenly remembered tears were all over her face. She quickly turned her head away and tried to hide it. At the same time, she felt so embarrassed and annoyed.

“What’s wrong with Colin? Why did he suddenly call over a stranger he had only met once? Beverly thought unhappily.

She was angry but couldn’t flare up at strangers. She could only endure it and say, “I’m sorry, it’s not convenient for me to meet guests now. If you have something to say, go find Colin or others at Herbathrive.”

It was obvious that she was trying to chase Melody away.

However, Melody did not seem to understand. She went forward and sat by Beverly’s bed.

Before Beverly could react, Melody pulled her hand and checked her pulse.

This action was very natural for Melody. After all, Beverly was close to her in her previous life.

However, this action was too sudden for Beverly. She felt offended and could not help but frown and struggle. “Young lady, you…

“Shh, don’t speak, Melody said solemnly.

This made Beverly involuntarily stop struggling and look at Melody in shock.

Colin is not trying to let this young lady treat me, is he? Beverly thought.

On the way back from the hospital, she had already thought about it carefully. She knew she was just a burden to Colin.

We are very much in love, but so what? We are in love now, but what about in the future? Even if my cancer can be cured. five years later, or ten years later, if Colin wants a child, how can I a barren person, help him? The more Beverly thought about it, the more determined she became. She wanted to divorce Colin. She could not drag him down.

After making up her mind. Beverly wanted to pull her hand back.

However, Melody let go of her wrist before she could do anything.

Beverly retracted her hand and smiled gratefully at Melody. Then she said apologetically, “Colin told me that you are the disciple of a medical master…

Melody nodded.

Beverly continued. “But you don’t have to treat me anymore. I plan to divorce him. Regardless of whether my stomach cancer can be cured or not, I don’t plan to treat it anymore. Anyway, I have no parents. I have nothing to worry about even if I die.”

“Is that so?” Melody looked deeply at Beverly and said, “What if I say that not only can I cure your stomach cancer, but I can also cure your infertility and let you have your child?”

Beverly was stunned. Her eyes widened as she looked at Melody. “You. You’re telling the truth?”

Melody shrugged. “Whether it’s true or not, why don’t you try it I only need half a year. If you’re not pregnant after half a year it won’t be too late for you to ask for a divorce.”

Beverly was tempted. Her originally dim eyes lit up.

That was hope. Melody was not in a hurry to continue. She was waiting for Beverly to think it through.

However, not long after, Beverly suddenly held her hand and asked. “Young lady, what’s your name?”

“Melody Fox,” Melody replied.

“Miss Fox. Beverly took a deep breath and said. “Tm willing to try. Can you help me?”

“Of course, Melody replied immediately.

About two minutes later, Melody walked out of Beverly’s room.

Colin was about to ask when he saw Melody followed by Beverly

Beverly still didn’t look too good, but a noticeable change appeared in her eyes. They were no longer filled with despair.

Colin instantly understood that Melody had succeeded.

He walked over excitedly and held Beverly’s arm. He was about to ask when Beverly said, “I’ve already asked Melody to treat me.”

Colin looked at Melody in disbelief.

He was surprised to hear Beverly, slow to warm up, call Melody by her name in only a few minutes. ‘How did this girl convince Beverly? Colin wondered.

Mr. Herbert, Melody met Colin’s gaze. “I’ll give you the prescription tomorrow. I’ll need to trouble you to make it for Beverly on time.”

“Of course, of course!” Colin nodded repeatedly and asked gratefully, “Miss Fox, other than Deathtenaire, what else do you need? If you can cure her, I will give you anything you want!”

Melody smiled and said, “Deathtenaire is my consultation fee for treating Beverly. As for the other herbs, I don’t think it’s easy to get them here. I only hope that you can let me come to Herbathrive for consultation. Of course, I won’t take ordinary illnesses. Contact me if there are any difficult illnesses. When the time comes, the consultation fee…”

“I’ll give you all the consultation fees! Colin said without hesitation.

Melody was short of money. She did not stand on ceremony and nodded. “Alright, it’s a deal. I have other things to do. I’ll come again tomorrow.”

After saying goodbye, Melody put away the Deathtenaire that Colin had given her. Then, she went to get Zack’s grandfather’s medicine.

The medicine was directly made in Herbathrive. She took it and was about to leave when David stopped her. “Miss Fox. Mr. Herbert and Mrs. Herbert…”

“Don’t worry,” Melody gave David a reassuring look and said. “They’re fine.”

David immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he saw the medicine in her hand and quickly reminded her. “Miss Fox, the medicine we made is sealed and packaged. It has a shelf life of a month. You can let them make it and take it away in one go. You don’t have to come and get one every day. So you don’t have to run around, which is troublesome.”

Melody shook her head. “I want trouble.”

“Huh?” David was confused.

However, Melody did not intend to explain. She waved her hand and left with the medicine bag

David was even more confused.

“What the hell is going on? Who would find trouble for themselves?” David muttered to himself for a while. Soon, David stopped struggling because he felt Melody was much more intelligent than him, although she was younger.

Melody must have her reasons for doing this. Thinking of this, David stopped asking for trouble and returned to the counter to sort out the new batch of medicinal herbs.

After Melody left Herbathrive, She took a taxi to South Alley.

Melody had been delivering medicine to Zack’s grandfather for several days.

Ford’s attitude toward her had changed after meeting her frequently for the past few days. He treated her like his granddaughter. He was enthusiastic and amiable to her.

Usually, when Melody arrived at South Alley, she could see Ford waiting for her at the alley’s entrance from afar.

Melody understood Ford’s mentality very well. He was old and did not have a wife. Zack left early and returned late. He did not even have anyone to talk to.

She was also a qualified listener, so Ford especially liked her.

However, on this day, when Melody got out of the car, she did not see Ford waiting for her at the alley’s entrance.

She was slightly surprised but didn’t think much about it. She walked straight to Number 435.

The door was ajar. Melody pushed the door open and entered as usual.

“Mr. Nelson Melody called out.

Then, Melody was shocked to see Zack sitting by the well, washing clothes with his hand.

He was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves half rolled up. His figure was thin, but he did not look weak. His expensive trousers were wet from the foam, making him look out of place.
