Chapter 366
This makeup artist should not be a makeup artist, but a supporting actor.
However, because Ken was standing beside him, James tried his best to hold back his laughter.
At this moment, a corner of the black dress appeared in their line of sight.
In the next second, a slender ankle was revealed. The skin tone contrasted greatly with the black of the dress and seemed significantly eye-catching.
James suddenly widened his eyes. He could not believe that a single foot could cause ripples in his heart. He was looking forward to Melody’s appearance.
In the bedroom of the suite.
Melody had just taken a step outside when the stylist reminded her that the black silk belt around her waist had not been tied, so she delayed for a few seconds before walking out of the bedroom.
Walking out of the bedroom, she looked up and saw Ken standing in the middle of the living room.
He was still wearing his usual black suit, but perhaps because today’s event was important, he had styled his hair and combed it up, revealing his hairline.
His facial features were perfect to begin with. Coupled with his above-average height, he was extremely attractive just standing there.
The moment their eyes met, Melody’s heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to look directly at Ken and hurriedly looked away.
However, Ken continued to stare at her.
Melody was especially eye-catching today. Her entire body exuded a classical charm. The light eye makeup made her originally beautiful eyes look even more energetic, like a pool of water.
Ken held his breath and swallowed.
For a moment, the air in the hotel seemed to freeze.
However, at this moment, James let out an inappropriate “Fuck”.
This exclamation brought Melody and Ken back to their senses at the same time. The two of them regained their usual calmness almost at the same time.
James approached Melody in a few steps. He walked around her in disbelief and asked uncertainly, “You’re Miss Fox? Can you say something for me to hear?”
Melody glanced at James speechlessly.
“That’s enough.”
This voice was indeed Melody!
James rubbed his eyes hard and walked around Melody again. He clicked his tongue and exclaimed, “Clothes make the man! Miss Fox, if I didn’t know it was you, I wouldn’t have recognized you.”
Melody nodded without much emotion.
“It’s good that you can’t recognize me. If you can’t, then Owen can’t either. How about this? Today, I will be Wilona Knowles. Please cooperate with me on that.”
James nodded repeatedly.
Perhaps it was because Melody was now a little beauty that could not be ignored. He was exceptionally patient with her and could not help but say a few more words, “Wilona Knowles is your mother, right? I’ll remember it.”
Melody’s expression froze slightly. She quickly ignored James’s words and took a few steps forward to the spot where Ken was.
“Why are you here?”
“I’m here to inspect the results.” Ken looked at her deep in the eyes and said briefly, “It seems the results are passable.”
Melody pouted.
“Since you’ve received the results, we can set off now. But…there’s something I need you to arrange.”
“Go on.” There was nothing unusual about Ken’s expression, but his eyes never left Melody’s face.
Melody did not notice Ken’s abnormality. She said seriously, “James told me about Owen’s situation. It’s not that easy to gain his trust. Therefore, I need you to create a real identity for Wilona Knowles as soon as possible, and this identity must be related to the medical family.”
Ken nodded. “No problem. It will be settled before we reach the venue.”
“Alright, it’s about time. Let’s split up and set off.”
Ken did not comment and followed Melody out of the hotel.
Because James’s identity was well-known, Ken specially arranged a new driver for her.
About an hour later, the car drove into Sky City.
The sky had already darkened,
Sky City was built at the intersection of Silverlake and the neighboring city. It was located on a cliff.
From the foot of the mountain, Sky City looked like a city floating in the sky.
Melody’s car speed was deliberately slower than Ken’s, so by the time she got out of the car, Ken had already been escorted into the manor by the crowd.
She was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she swallowed a brown pill first.
This pill could make her voice different from usual.
After doing this, she walked towards the check-in area.
After showing the invitation, she was about to enter when Mabel’s voice came from not far away.
“Wait!”
Melody stopped in her tracks.
Could it be that Mabel recognized her?
That shouldn’t be the case…
The next second, Mabel, who was wearing a diamond-studded gown, ran to her, panting.
Although Melody had light makeup on her eyes today and had long left the “ugly girl” status, her facial features were a little swollen from being poisoned. She was still incomparable to Mabel, who had full makeup on.
Melody clenched her fists slightly, unsure if Mabel recognized her.
Mabel regulated her breathing before she continued speaking.
“Miss, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my invitation. Every invitation allows a plus-one. It would be too much of a hassle for me to go back and get my invitation. Could I tag along with you instead?”
As Mabel spoke, she handed Russell’s business card to her and said, “I’m the eldest daughter of the Justalion Group, Mabel Fox. I believe you have heard of me.”
Melody’s heart relaxed slightly, and her lower lip instantly curved.
“Of course, I’ve heard of Miss Mabel Fox. But I have to apologize, I already have a plus-one. I’m afraid there won’t be any extra slots.”
Her voice was much hoarser than her usual voice. Ordinary people would not be able to recognize her from her voice.
“I see…”
Mabel nodded awkwardly and said, “Then go in quickly. I’ll get the butler at home to send me the invitation.”
Melody nodded and did not say anything else. She turned around and entered the manor.
Sky City was filled with white retro European-style buildings. The scenery was pleasant. Usually, the people who could enter this place were either rich or noble.
However, she had been here a few times after marrying Ulric, so she did not need anyone to lead her to the main venue of the cocktail party.
However, Mabel was different from Melody. She had never been to such a high-end place before.
Mabel even thought that Sky City was located in Silverlake’s city area, but when she arrived, she realized that it was more than an hour’s drive from the city.
It would be impossible for her to pretend to bump into Ulric at the door as she had discussed with her father.
What are the chances of randomly running into someone on such a high mountain?
Therefore, she could only find someone who did not have a male companion or female companion here.
However, that person just now…
Mabel narrowed her eyes.
Chapter 367
For some reason, Mabel felt that she had seen that lady in a black evening gown somewhere before. There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, Mabel still could not figure out where she had seen her before.
How strange…
Mabel scratched her head in confusion.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.
‘Mabel? You’re here too?”
Mabel’s back stiffened. This voice belonged to…
She quickly turned around and saw Pamela and her father, Troy, slowly walking over.
Mabel’s sharp eyes saw that both of them had an invitation letter in their hands.
Mabel couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
What was going on with the Swanson family?
Clark Group was clearly on the same level as the Justalion Group, so why did Clark Group have an invitation, but the Fox family did not?
Could it be that Ulric did not have any place for her in his heart?
Thinking of this, Mabel could not help but clench her fists.
Seeing that Pamela and Troy were already in front of her, Mabel quickly put on a smile and said, “Parn, you’re here too?”
“Yes.” Pamela looked at Mabel with a much colder gaze than before. However, she still maintained her politeness on the surface and said, “What a coincidence.”
Mabel nodded and turned to greet Troy.
“Hello, Mr. Clark.”
Troy treated Mabel like air and said to Pamela, “I’m going in first. Come over quickly.”
“Got it, Dad,” Pamela replied. When she saw Mabel’s awkward expression, she explained, “Don’t mind him, Mabel. My dad doesn’t want me to contact you anymore because of Melody.”
“It’s alright.” Mabel pretended not to care and shook her head.
She knew how to manipulate Pamela and started to badmouth Melody.
“That vicious woman Melody was almost chased out of the house by my father today. But then it turned out she got the formula for Water of Time and my father ended up keeping her in the house.”
When Pamela saw that Mabel really hated Melody, her originally distant expression softened.
“That sister of yours is really scheming! If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have a criminal record. Now, I’ve been expelled by the school and even disqualified from participating in the Best Celebrity competition…”
The more Pamela spoke, the angrier she became. She wished she could skin Melody alive.
Mabel was very cooperative and took Pamela’s side and scolded Melody. After a while, Pamela returned to being chummy with Mabel. She sighed and said, “You’re unlucky to suddenly have such a sister.”
“I know, right!”
After saying that, Mabel pretended to be concerned and reminded Pamela, “There will be many celebrities attending the cocktail party today. You can take this opportunity to find out if there’s anyone who can help you erase your criminal record.”
“It’s against the law. I’m afraid no one will help me,” Pamela said, resigned.
Mabel sighed in response before she said, “I was also tricked by Melody today.”
“What do you mean?” Pamela’s ears perked up at the mention of Melody.
Mabel lowered her eyes and said with both anger and
sadness, “Before I left, I clearly remembered putting the invitation in my bag, but when I arrived here, I realized that the invitation was gone. It must be her doing! Now, I don’t have an invitation and have to go back directly.”
“That’s easy to solve!” Pamela said without thinking. “My father and I both have invitations. Each invitation has one plus one. I’ll bring you in with me.”
“Really?” Mabel’s eyes lit up. She said gratefully, “Thank you, Pam. If I went back like this, I don’t know how I’d report to my father…Melody will say that I can’t even keep an eye on an invitation letter in front of my father.”
“This is a piece of cake! Let’s go!”
Pamela held Mabel’s hand and walked towards the check-in area.
Mabel looked at Pamela beside her and her lips curled into an imperceptible smile.
On the way to the main venue, Mabel could not help but ask. “Pam, you’ve suffered so much because of Melody. Isn’t your father prepared to take action? Although Melody is my half-sister. I can’t stand what she did. I wish she would suffer retribution as soon as possible.
Pamela sighed and said. “I also urged my father, but he said that he would wait for an opportunity for his plan. He refused to tell me the details. He thought that I was stupid and would leak it out.”
Mabel nodded. “Anyway, if there’s anything you need my help with, just let me know.”
“Alright!” Pamela nodded vigorously. She was even more convinced that Mabel was different from Melody, that Mabel was a good person.
*****
At the same time.
In the main venue.
The main venue was set up on the lawn of the Sky City, which was connected to a huge swimming pool.
Champagne and various beautiful desserts were placed around the pool. Servants in tuxedos and maid outfits interlaced to serve the guests. The lights illuminated half the sky, making it extremely luxurious
Melody walked around the lawn but did not see Owen. She only saw Ulric standing with the help of a mechanical leg and calmly greeting the guests with Ramon. However, Ken was nowhere to be seen.
When she saw Ulric, Melody would recall bad memories from her previous life, and her mood would sink.
She turned around and was about to leave when Ulric noticed her and walked forward to greet her.
“Miss, I saw you walking around here. Are you looking for someone? I can get someone to help you look.”
Ulric’s face was filled with humility. Anyone who saw him would think that he was an extremely gentle person.
In order not to expose herself, Melody suppressed the hatred in her heart and smiled. Tm not looking for anyone. It’s just my first time here and I want to take a walk
So this is your first time here,” Ulric took the initiative to say. It just so happens that I have some free time now after greeting the first wave of guests. Why don’t I show you around? If you take the elevator upstairs, you will be able to see a panoramic view of the manor. I’ll bring you there.”
Melody tried her best to put herself in the role of the little girl, Wilona Knowles. She lowered her eyes and revealed a hint of shyness. She nodded and said, “Of course. It’s just that my friend will be arriving soon. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to find me later. Why don’t we wait until the cocktail party is about to end?”
Ulric was about to speak when Mabel’s voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.
“Mr. Swanson…”
That voice was so soft and gentle that no man would not feel his heart tremble when he heard it.
Ulric was no exception. After turning to look at the exquisitely dressed Mabel, a stunned look flashed past his eyes.
Melody keenly caught it and pursed her lower lip mockingly.
All men were the same. In her previous life, she did not know it. She thought that Ulric had fallen in love with her inner self and did not care about her appearance…
What a joke.
In the blink of an eye, Mabel arrived in front of them.
Her gaze fell on Melody. She smiled and greeted, “We meet again.”
“You two know each other?” Ulric no longer cared about Melody’s existence.
He was attracted by Melody’s cold temperament, but when he saw that Melody did not reject his invitation to show her around, the desire to conquer her in his heart faded.
Chapter 368
Melody was about to answer, but Mabel spoke first. “We met at the check-in just now. By the way, what’s your name?”
Melody replied calmly, “My surname is Knowles.”
“Oh, Miss Knowles…” Mabel said apologetically, “Did I interrupt your conversation just now?”
As Mabel spoke, her eyes were sparkling and her face was filled with apology. Even if one was interrupted, it would be difficult to say that directly to Mabel’s face.
Melody did not reply. She stared at Ulric with interest.
Ulric said, “You’re not disturbing anything. I just thought that Miss Knowles was looking for someone. As the host of the cocktail party, I specially came over to ask.”
“That’s good.” Mabel nodded and asked gently, “Mr. Swanson…I wonder if you have time? I have something to tell you.”
No one would reject a beauty’s request.
Ulric immediately agreed. “Of course.”
As he spoke, he turned to Melody.
“Miss Knowles, if you need any help, look for me anytime. I need to speak to Mabel first.”
“Alright.” Melody nodded. She could not wait for them to leave.
“Let’s go, Mabel.” Ulric made a “please” gesture and said,
“There’s a small cafe over there. Let’s talk over there.”
Mabel nodded and walked side by side with Ulric towards the cafe.
Mabel had just taken two steps when she turned to look at Melody. Her eyes were filled with warning and smugness as if she was declaring ownership.
Melody only felt that it was ridiculous. She ignored Mabel and turned around to continue searching for Owen.
Finally, she saw Owen talking to someone at the pool.
Melody did not walk over immediately. Instead, she observed the person who spoke to Owen.
The person who spoke to Owen was none other than Cadence’s father, Wendell.
Wendell said something, to which Owen seemed extremely grateful as he bowed repeatedly to Wendell.
Melody was quickly thinking about how to gain Owen’s trust. Suddenly, a few exclamations came from near Owen.
“Help! Someone is vomiting blood here!”
Perhaps it was the nature of a doctor. Melody subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
A middle-aged man was lying on the ground, retching. He was vomiting black blood, and the scene was a little shocking.
Ulric had already left with Mabel, so Ramon personally went forward to ask about the situation.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Yager?” Ramon’s eyes were filled with anxiety. When he saw that the other party was vomiting blood non-stop, he quickly turned his head and urged the waiter to find the hotel’s medical team.
If someone died at his celebratory party, his company would be negatively affected. Therefore, the anxiety on Ramon’s face was undeniably real.
However, the waiter ran out and quickly ran back. He said in a panic, “Mr. Ramon, I have bad news…The medical team that the hotel called has just left the hospital.”
“What? They’re not here yet?” Ramon broke out in a cold sweat.
He glanced at the people around him and asked, “May I ask if anyone here is medically trained?”
The people present looked at each other. No one stood up.
Most of the people who came today were businessmen and knew nothing about medicine.
Moreover, everyone present was calculative and sly. It was easy to see their real intentions.
Mr. Yager, who was now lying on the ground was an important figure in society. If anyone went forward to treat him and he ended up dying in their hands, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
No one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.
Hence, even after asking for a long time, no one came forward.
Just as Ramon was about to get someone to drive Mr. Yager to the hospital, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded. am medically trained.”
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
A delicate-looking girl walked over.
This person was none other than Melody. However, no one present recognized her as the ugly girl Melody.
Ramon asked, “Young lady, do you really know medicine?”
Melody nodded and said, “My surname is Knowles. My family has had generations of medical professionals. I’ve been learning medicine from my parents since I was three years old. Let me take a look at him.”
Ramon’s mind raced, and he quickly remembered that there was indeed a family of doctors surnamed Knowles in Insterimond.
Those who were invited here were not ordinary people, even if Melody looked younger than his two sons.
After thinking for two seconds, Ramon said, “Then please take a look at Mr. Yager.”
“No problem.” Melody walked confidently to the patient surnamed Yager and squatted down.
She took his hand to feel his pulse while observing his expression.
Traditional medicine places emphasis on the observation of the patient’s current condition, especially in emergency situations like these.
About a minute later, she let go of the patient’s hand.
Ramon hurriedly asked, “How’s the situation? Why did he suddenly vomit blood?”
Melody responded, “He’s breathing heavily and he looks dizzy. Coupled with the fact that he’s sweating and vomiting blood, I think it’s caused by the heat poison.”
“What?” Ramon asked in disbelief, “You’re saying this is just a heatstroke?”
Many of the people around did not understand what Melody was saying, but when Ramon said that, everyone immediately burst into discussion.
“Heatstroke? He’s vomiting blood. How could it just be a heatstroke?”
“It’s obvious that this young lady only knows a little. She just opened her mouth and said it! Does she know the identity of the person who vomited blood? How dare she go up?”
The discussion naturally reached Melody’s ears.
Melody’s expression did not change. She looked at Ramon who no longer trusted her and said, “Mr. Ramon, this is indeed a sign of heatstroke, but his heatstroke is serious, which is why his symptoms are so severe. If we don’t treat him immediately, I’m afraid he’ll be gone by the time he’s sent to the hospital. I can vouch for what I said with my reputation as someone from the Knowles family.”
Ramon was shocked. ‘Using her family’s honor as a guarantee? Is this young lady too arrogant, or is she confident? he thought.
While he was hesitating, a tall figure came to Ramon’s side.
It was Ken.
He did not look at Melody. Instead, he said to Ramon, “Dad, I’ve seen people vomit blood from heatstroke before.”
When Ramon heard this, his heart wavered even more.
Two seconds later, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright! Treat him immediately. If he’s cured, I will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Melody shook her head. “No need. As a doctor, saving people is my job. But I need you to help me gather what I need.”
“Just list it.”
Quickly, Melody listed the nine types of herbs that she needed.
Just as Melody was not sure if the Sky City had these herbs, the manager of the Sky City beside her said, “Yes, we have all these things.”
Ramon asked in surprise, “Did you put a lot of these herbs in the hotel?”
Melody explained on behalf of the manager, “The nine types I’m talking about are herbs, but they’re also often used in ingredients used in food, so there must be some.”
“Alright, alright.” Ramon nodded repeatedly and said, “Then hurry up and get ready.”
“I’ll go with them.” As Melody spoke, she followed the manager to find nine types of herbs. After quickly putting
together a concoction, she took it to the patient’s side and mixed it with water.
The onlookers shook their heads. I’m afraid this young lady is going to be in trouble.
Chapter 369
“That’s right. If it is a heatstroke, she should be getting rid of the heatstroke immediately. Isn’t she harming others by messing around like this? Mr. Yager’s status in the
government is not ordinary. If something happens to him, Mr. Yager’s family will pursue the matter regardless of whether she was doing it out of goodwill.”
“That’s right. Let’s not talk about whether Mr. Yager is suffering from heatstroke or not. Even if he is suffering from heatstroke, this is not how you treat him…”
“I know, right?”
Another guest chimed in, “Who eats the ingredients she mentioned when they get heatstroke…If they can recover by eating some ginger, why was medicine invented anyway?”
None of the onlookers felt that Melody was reliable. Some even left quietly in order not to be dragged into the situation.
Owen looked at Melody, who was about the same age as his daughter, and could not help but ask Wendell in a low voice.
“Mr. Hunter, should we go up and stop her? That young lady looks quite innocent. Perhaps she’ll stop after we persuade her.”
Wendell snorted and said, “Stop her? Why should I stop her?”
Silverlake was the Swanson family’s territory. Ramon could resolve this matter however he wanted.
If that girl cured Mr. Yager, Ramon could completely take the credit. After all, he had found someone who knew medicine in time.
However, if he couldn’t be cured, Ramon could completely deny his responsibility and say that the girl had taken matters into her own hands and ultimately harmed Mr. Yager’s life.
Either way, Ramon would not be implicated, although Mr. Yager might lose the opportunity to continue that project if he died.
However, that project was just icing on the cake for the Swanson Group, which was at the peak of its growth.
Owen looked at Wendell’s expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.
Owen could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Wendell and Ramon were now treating him well. Ulric even promised to find him the best medical skills to treat his daughter…
But what would happen if he was no longer useful to them?
He and that little girl were chess pieces in their hands. There was no difference between them.
For a moment, Owen’s heart wavered. He was hesitating whether to continue working with Wendell and Ulric.
On the patient’s side.
After Melody personally fed the patient the special concoction, he asked Ken to help him feed the patient a black pill.
Just as the patient was about to swallow the pill, Ramon took a few steps forward to question Melody.
“Wait, what did you feed him?”
“It’s a heat relief medicine I made myself. Its name is Astragalus 61
You made this yourself?” Ramon suddenly had an unreliable feeling in his heart. He frowned and said, “Whatever you gave Mr. Yager just now is also used in cooking, meaning that it’s harmless. That’s why I let you feed it to Mr. Yager. I’ve never heard of these pills of yours. You should forget about feeding this to him.”
As soon as Ramon finished speaking, a guest shouted in surprise. “Mr. Yager doesn’t seem to be vomiting blood anymore!”
Everyone, including Ramon, looked at Sean Yager who was lying on the ground.
Sure enough, he had stopped vomiting blood and his face was no longer as pale as before.
“That’s strange! She’s so young, but her medical skills are really not bad.”
“Don’t speak too soon. What if it’s a coincidence?”
Melody ignored the discussions. She knew very well that Sean’s recovery was due to the concoction.
However, Sean’s heatstroke was too serious and caused some complications. If he does not take the pills in her hand, the situation will quickly worsen.
Melody looked at Ken anxiously.
Ken seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He took the pill from her hand and stuffed it into Sean’s mouth.
Ken gently lifted Sean’s chin, and Sean naturally swallowed.
Melody heaved a sigh of relief.
She knew that nothing major would happen to Mr. Yager anymore.
However, when Ramon saw this scene, he was burning with anxiety. He did not care about Ken’s reputation and was scolded. “Ken! What are you doing?”
Ken met Ramon’s gaze expressionlessly. His thin lips parted slightly as he spat out two words. “Feeding him medicine.”
Ramon was so angry that he almost couldn’t catch his breath.
“Feeding him medicine? How do you know that this medicine won’t have any side effects? Do you know that if anything happens, you’ll have to be accountable!”
Ken glanced at Ramon indifferently.
“But Mr. Yager stopped vomiting blood after taking this lady’s medicine just now.”
“How can this be the same? Those are also ingredients, and this is medicine! How can you eat medicine recklessly?”
Ramon wished he could slap Ken, the incompetent bastard.
At this moment, the assistant ran over with a team of medical staff in white coats.
“Chairman! The medical team is here!”
Ramon felt relieved and immediately called the medical team to check on Sean.
Melody immediately saw the leader of the medical team. It was none other than Rodney.
Rodney was a senior figure in Central Hospital. It was just a cocktail party, but they invited a doctor of Rodney’s level to be here as a member of the medical team. This was enough to prove how extraordinary the identity of the person attending the cocktail party tonight was.
Rodney did not notice Melody. He immediately ran to Sean’s side to check on the situation.
After a few checks, Rodney Stanton asked Ramon Swanson with a puzzled expression.
“Did someone treat the patient just now?”
Ramon’s heart sank. He thought that there was a problem with Melody’s treatment. He pointed at Melody and said, “She volunteered to treat him just now.”
Rodney’s gaze landed on Melody.
The doctor’s observation skills were generally better than ordinary people. In the next moment, when he saw Melody, his eyes revealed a surprised expression, but he was also a little uncertain.
“Are you…”
“My surname is Knowles,” Melody interrupted Rodney and introduced herself.
Rodney could see that the girl in front of him was Melody
in terms of temperament and posture.
But she said her surname was Knowles?
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he did not ask the question in his heart. Instead, he followed Melody’s words and said, “Miss Knowles, you were the one who treated the patient just now.”
“It’s me.” Melody nodded.
“That’s her!”
“She took the liberty of giving Mr. Yager a black pill of some kind.”
“Yeah, Mr. Ramon wanted to stop her, but it was too late.”
To show off in front of Ramon, the surrounding people all spoke up for Ramon.
Rodney was confused.
“Why would you stop her?”
The surrounding people were instantly shocked. For a moment, they did not understand what Rodney meant.
Ramon was the first to come back to his senses. He asked hesitantly, “Doctor, you mean…the medicine she fed Mr. Yager is fine?”
“Of course, there’s no problem!” Rodney said, “The patient’s condition is no longer dangerous. If she didn’t treat him in time, he might have died by now.”
Chapter 370
As soon as Rodney finished speaking, Ramon’s eyes widened in surprise.
However, he quickly regained his composure and asked with certainty, “Is what you said true?”
“Of course it’s true. I don’t even know her. Why would I help her lie? It’s a matter of life and death. Do you think I’d lie to you?”
Ramon looked a little embarrassed. He covered his nose and coughed dryly. He was glad that Ken did not listen to him and forcefully fed Sean the medicine.
At that moment, Sean, who was lying on the ground, regained consciousness.
Ramon noticed it and immediately went forward to ask, “Mr. Yager, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Sean shook his head and stood up with the help of the waiter.
Ramon was about to help Sean when Sean avoided his hand and walked to Melody. He bowed and cupped his hands.
“Miss Knowles, thank you for saving my life! Although I was in pain just now, I know what happened clearly in my mind. If you hadn’t stepped forward, I might not have been able to go back to Insterimond.”
Melody waved her hand in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. “There’s no need to thank me. I am medically trained. In such a situation, it is my responsibility to step forward to help
As Melody spoke, she didn’t want to take all the credit. After all, the more successful someone is, the more they attract unwanted attention. Thus, she added, “It’s all thanks to Mr. Ramon and Mr. Ken Swanson just now. If they hadn’t
helped contact the people in the manor to gather herbs, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to do it even if I wanted to.”
When Ramon heard this, his indifferent gaze softened.
At least this girl was smart and knew what to say.
When Sean heard what Melody said, he admired her even more. He turned around and thanked Ken and Ramon.
“Thank you for tonight. I will remember it.”
“Not at all…” Ramon waved his hand and said, “When we were young, we were sworn brothers. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Sean pursed his lips and looked at Melody again. “Miss Knowles, you are my savior. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to help you.”
Recalling the feeling of walking back from the gates of hell, he still felt afraid and grateful. He immediately suggested exchanging phone numbers with Melody.
Melody could not refuse, so she could only exchange numbers with Sean.
Rodney stepped forward at the right time.
“Sir, although your illness is almost cured, you still need a drip to prevent your body from being unable to keep up. Why don’t you come back to the hospital with us and be hospitalized for observation for a day?”
Sean nodded. After apologizing to Melody, again and again, he left with Rodney,
Rodney called out to Melody before he left.
“Miss Knowles, I have to confirm what medicine you used just now to make it easier for Mr. Yager to get an infusion after he reaches the hospital. It is to ensure that there won’t be any drug resistance.”
Melody’s expression did not change. She nodded and said, “Then I’ll send you off. We’ll talk on the way.”
They left side by side.
After Rodney followed the procedure and asked about the medicine, he finally could not help but say, “Miss Fox, it’s you, right?”
When Melody saw that there was no one around and that Rodney did not have any bad intentions, she nodded and admitted, “It’s me, Rodney.”
Rodney’s eyes instantly lit up.
He clapped his hands excitedly and said, “It’s really you! I knew it. I was wondering how so many young people have such good medical skills?”
“The staff member who brought me in told me about the patient’s condition after I got out of the car,” Rodney continued.
“Although it’s only heatstroke, most people feel that it’s not a disease at all. They don’t know that if the heatstroke is too intense, it will severely affect their lives.”
“If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for them to get rid of such a deep heatstroke in such a short period of time.”
After praising him, Rodney remembered his doubts and asked, “But why did you say that your surname is Knowles?”
Melody hesitated for a moment before saying, “I came here today to help someone with a very important matter, but it’s not convenient for me to use my real identity, so I used a fake name.”
“I see. I’m glad I didn’t ask you back then.”
Rodney heaved a sigh of relief and said, “By the way, our director looked for me today and wanted me to ask you…Do you want to consider becoming a specially-appointed doctor in our hospital?”
After Rodney finished speaking, he hurriedly added, “It’s the kind that doesn’t need to work shifts. You only need to come over and help when there are special circumstances. As for the remuneration, feel free to name it.”
Melody hesitated for a moment and said, “But I have many things on my plate recently…”
Rodney immediately said, “You don’t have to rush to give me an answer. You can consider it before telling me the answer.”
Melody was silent for a while. She thought that if she could become a doctor at City Central Hospital, many things would be much more convenient. She did not think about it anymore and nodded. “Then tell the director that I’m willing to go, but I really don’t have time to work shifts.”
“Don’t worry! It’s a waste of talent for someone like you to work shifts. If you don’t have time when we need you, you can choose to finish your work first.”
“I have an additional condition.”
“Go ahead.”
“I want to work under the name Wilona Knowles. I wonder if it’s possible?”
“Of course! The dean said that as long as you agree, you can name all the conditions.”
“Alright, it’s settled then.”
Rodney was overjoyed, but when he remembered that Sean still had to be sent to the hospital, he could only bid farewell to Melody reluctantly.
“Then, Miss Fox, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Okay.”
Melody smiled. After watching Rodney leave, she turned around and walked towards the main venue.
However, halfway there, she happened to bump into Owen, who was smoking by the roadside.
Owen seemed to be in a very bad mood. He was frowning so much that it could kill a fly.
After hesitating for a moment, Melody walked forward with a worried expression.
“Sir…”
Owen subconsciously looked up.
“It’s you…the doctor who saved Mr. Yager.”
“It’s me.” Melody nodded and pleaded, “This is my first time
in Sky City. After telling the doctor about the patient’s condition, I can’t find my way back. I wonder if you can help me point it out?”
Owen threw away the cigarette butt and stood up. “It just so happens that I’m going back too. Come with me.”
“Thanks a lot.”
“No need.” Owen smiled and waved his hand. “I didn’t expect Miss Knowles to have such good medical skills at such a young age. I heard from the medical team members who are staying here that they would not know where to start with someone like Mr. Yager who vomited blood from heatstroke, but you only used two medicines to treat him.”
“I’ve been studying medicine since I was three years old, so I have some experience in dealing with such situations. However…” Melody twitched her nose and asked, “Sir, is someone in your family sick?”
