Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 511, 512, 513, 514, and 515)

Chapter 511

Melody stopped talking, but her eyes narrowed coldly, thinking, ‘Sid was so badly injured, but Janet was only hit on the back of her head?’

She had thought Janet would be the traitor but did not expect something to happen to Sid.

However, after thinking about it, Melody still did not say that she suspected Janet. She just followed in silence.

‘Ken probably can’t care less who the traitor is at this juncture. It’s more important to save Sid. We must save him. He must know something, such as who hurt him,’ Melody thought.

As the car sped along, Melody was not idle either. She searched for the latest news about Averi’s flight on her phone. The news was updating the progress of the search and rescue on the flight.

Regrettably, officials have announced that all passengers and crew members on the flight were not spared. All had lost their lives in this disaster.

Melody closed her eyes. Her heart was filled with endless anger and self-blame.

‘I’m the one who saved Averi, and I’m the one who caused her death. Perhaps Yolanda was right. I’m a jinx. I can only bring disaster to the people around me.’ With this thought in mind, Melody could not help but look sideways at Ken.

His originally black and white eyes were now filled with red blood vessels. His hands were tightly clenched into fists. She could see the veins on his arms bulging from clenching his fists too hard.

She had never seen Ken reveal such an expression. It was so uncomfortable that her heart skipped a beat.

She did not know when it started, but his emotions directly affected her heart.

Melody could not help but clench her fists as well.

*****

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of a small hospital. According to the coordinates James gave, Sid and Janet were resuscitated and treated here.

Ken opened the car door and went to the emergency room.

His leg was fractured, but he was running faster than Melody.

Melody believed her speed had surpassed ordinary people, but she could not catch up to Ken now.

Fortunately, the resuscitation room was on the first floor.

James had been telling Ken about Sid’s situation when Melody arrived there.

Melody quickened her pace and walked up to the two of them. She heard James say quickly, “This hospital often receives car accident patients, so they happen to have a few bags of RH-negative blood. However, Mr. Quant has lost too much blood. I’m afraid this bit of blood is not enough.”

“Have you contacted the other hospitals?” Ken asked. James nodded. “Yes, but we only found a few blood bags. We might have to find people with the same blood type alive.”

“Then look for it! No matter what compensation they want, I’ll satisfy them all as long as they can come over immediately and give blood to Sid.”

“Okay.”

Melody was about to walk into the resuscitation room to check on the situation when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked at Ken and said, “I remember someone who also has Rh-negative blood.”

“Who?” Ken asked,

“Zara. She mentioned to me by chance that she has Rh- Rh-negative blood,” Melody said as she dialed Zara’s number.

After two rings, Zara picked up. She seemed to be on set. The voice on the other end of the phone was noisy.

“Melody, why did you suddenly call me?” Zara asked.

Sid did not have much time left. Melody told Zara her request in the shortest terms.

When Zara heard this, she agreed without thinking. She said, “Alright, tell me the address. I’ll come over now.”

“Thank you…” said Melody.

“We’re friends. Besides, you’ve helped me before.”

“Yeah! We’re at…” Melody gave the hospital’s address and hung up the phone. She said to Ken, “Please wait for Zara at the door. I’ll go into the operating theater to check on the situation first. And James needs to contact the person in charge of this hospital. I’m afraid the doctors inside won’t let me participate in the rescue.”

“No problem.” Ken and James agreed at the same time.

The three of them did their jobs. Melody changed into sterile clothes in the medical corridor and quickly entered the resuscitation room.

In the resuscitation room, disinfectant mixed with the smell of blood. The smell was unbearable, but Melody did not even frown as she went to the operating table.

She looked up at the detector connected to Sid. The instrument showed that Sid had low body values.

His left and right hands were receiving blood transfusions, but the value did not increase at all.

The group of people did not notice Melody. They only saw the doctor in the lead check on Sid and heard him say, “He injured his heart. He has to undergo surgery immediately. Go outside and get the family members to sign it. After signing it, we’ll carry out the surgery, and there won’t be a dispute if we can’t save him.”

The assistant beside him said hesitantly, “Dr. Russo, the patient was sent by his friends. I’m afraid his family is not around. The situation is so urgent. Why don’t we operate first?”

“No! From his clothes, I can tell that his identity isn’t ordinary. If something happens, I won’t be able to bear the responsibility. Moreover, there are not enough blood bags. To put it bluntly, this bit of blood won’t last until we finish the surgery.”

Melody was about to go forward and communicate with the doctor about Sid’s condition. When she heard this, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

The doctor continued, “Instead of undergoing this impossible surgery, we might as well return this problem to them. Tsk, I’m unlucky to encounter such a surgery that will fail in a row.

The assistants and surgical nurses looked at each other, and the operating theater fell into an awkward silence.

Adrian also realized he had misspoken and accidentally said what was on his mind. He rubbed his nose and coughed dryly. “What are you waiting for? Go out and tell his friends.”

The assistants and nurses were unhappy but did not dare to refute. However, no one was willing to go against their conscience and say those words to the patient’s friends.

“You guys…-

Just as Adrian was about to curse, a cold voice filled with displeasure sounded. “Dr. Russo, right? You asked the family to sign it to give you a reason not to operate so you won’t get implicated? Where’s your professional ethics as a doctor? You’re not worthy of being a doctor at all. No, you’re not even worthy of being a human.”

The sudden scolding stunned Adrian. Who dared to scold me like that?”

He looked furiously in the direction of the voice, only to see it was a stranger he had never seen before.

‘Is she new here? How dare a newcomer say that about me? Does she not want to do it anymore? Adrian’s expression became even darker as he thought. His eyes burned with anger as he questioned, “What does a newcomer like you know? How did you get in? Who let you in? Get out of here quickly. If you continue talking nonsense here, I’ll let you leave immediately.”

Melody narrowed her eyes coldly and said. “You’re the one who should leave. Get out of my sight before I get angry.”

“You…” Adrian was furious. He took a few steps forward and reached out to slap Melody.

However, as soon as he raised his hand, Melody grabbed it tightly.

The next second, Melody turned around and kicked him in the back.

Adrian was caught off guard and fell to his knees. His knees hit the ground with a dull thud.

“Hiss…” Adrian was in so much pain that tears flew out of his eyes.

He was even more exasperated and shouted, “Are you all blind? Hurry up and catch her.”

Chapter 512

The doctors and nurses looked at each other. No one came forward for a long time. Instead, they felt relieved.

Melody could tell that the others still had medical ethics, but they did not dare to refute Adrian in person because of his identity.

Her expression softened slightly. ‘Fortunately, not everyone in this hospital is as inhumane as Adrian.’

Seeing that no one came up to help him, Adrian was even angrier. He threatened, “If you don’t come over and catch this lunatic, I’ll get all of you out of the hospital.”

As soon as he said this, a few people dared not pretend to be deaf and mute anymore. They took a few steps forward and surrounded Melody.

However, they did not attack Melody. They only advised,” Young lady, we’re undergoing surgery. You should go out first…”

“Yes, young lady, this is not a place for you to mess around. Dr. Russo… His father is the director.”

Melody frowned and asked, “The director of this hospital?” “Yes…”

Melody’s expression darkened. ‘No wonder these people look so afraid of him. When a father behaves wrongly, his son will do the same. The reverse is also true. If the director has a conscience and medical ethics, he won’t indulge his son to this extent. That director can’t be a good person.’

Adrian saw that Melody did not speak for a moment and thought she was afraid.

He immediately sneered and got up from the ground. “Bitch, now you’re afraid? Am I someone you can fight? But I can give you a chance since you’re new here. As long as you get down on your knees and lick my shoes clean, I’ll forgive you for not knowing what’s good for you. Otherwise, I can make you lose your job anytime.”

When the others in the resuscitation room heard this, they looked at Melody sympathetically but were not too surprised.

‘This can’t be the first time Adrian has bullied someone.

With this thought in mind, Melody let out a cold snort.

She said, “You want me to lick your shoes? Do you think you’re worthy?”

Adrian’s expression changed. “Bitch! Do you want to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

He called out two people’s names and ordered with a dark expression, “Lock her up first. I’ll settle the score with her after I’m done with this patient.”

The two people who were called out felt they were unlucky. They looked at Melody with even more sympathy.

“Young lady, you’d better do as Dr. Russo says. Otherwise… we can’t help you.”

“Yes, young lady, you’ll suffer even more.”

“Hmph!” Adrian crossed his arms and raised his chin. He looked at Melody as if he were looking at an ant he could crush at will.

Melody narrowed her eyes coldly, but she heard footsteps. They’re coming…

She raised her right eyebrow and looked in the direction of the footsteps.

When Adrian saw her look away, he subconsciously turned to look behind him.

A muscular stranger led his father into the resuscitation room.

“Dad?” Adrian asked in confusion, “What brings you here?” Just as Lennon Russo, the director, was about to speak, Adrian said again, “You came at the right time. A lunatic barged into the emergency room and kicked me the moment she came up. Bring her out now. Teach her a lesson.”

Lennon’s face was filled with fear. He widened his eyes and said, “Idiot! Shut up!”

Adrian did not understand. “Dad, why did you tell me to shut up? She started it. Also, these people in the emergency room dared to disobey me and let this bitch teach me a lesson. Fire them.”

“Shut up! Shut up!” Lennon stepped forward in horror. Seeing that Adrian was about to continue speaking, he raised his hand and slapped Adrian hard.

With a crisp slap, Adrian’s eyes widened as he covered his face and looked at his father in disbelief. “Dad?”

“Stupid thing, don’t call me Dad. I don’t have a stupid son like you.” Lennon scolded. Feeling that his anger was not appeased, he raised his hand and slapped Adrian again. The slap this time was even harder, and Adrian’s face was directly slapped to the side.

This time, Adrian was stunned. He almost saw stars. He looked at his father and was completely speechless.

However, Lennon did not care about Adrian’s feelings at all. He walked to Melody and bowed deeply to her.

Adrian’s eyes widened when he saw this. ‘Did Father make a mistake? Why did he bow to a newcomer?

Lennon bowed three times in a row and apologized to Melody with an apologetic expression. “Miss Fox, I’m sorry. My stupid pig-like son failed to recognize you. I hope you can forgive me and not lower yourself to the level of a pig.” Melody said indifferently, “Your son’s mistake is not just his lack of upbringing. A person like him who has no respect for life is not qualified to be a doctor.”

Although Lennon did not know what had happened, with his understanding of Adrian, he roughly knew why Melody was angry.

He smiled apologetically and said, “I didn’t teach my son well. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you. But he’s not like this usually… Moreover, he’s an idiot. How can he compare to a famous doctor like you, Miss Fox?”

Adrian was stunned and could not help but ask, “Famous doctor? What famous doctor?”

Lennon glared at Adrian and said, “This is the miracle-working doctor from First Hospital. Apologize to Dr. Fox now.”

“Her? Dad, are you mistaken? She looks younger than me. How can she be a famous doctor? Don’t be fooled by her.” “Bastard!” Lennon kicked Adrian and said, “The director of First Hospital called personally. How can it be fake?”

Melody looked up at James when she heard this.

James quickly walked to her and said in a voice that only he and Melody could hear, “Mr. Quant’s identity is special, so I didn’t tell them our identity, I only contacted the director of First Hospital and asked them to lend you their resuscitation room.”

Melody nodded.

Sid’s identity was indeed special. Quant family’s main branch could be said to be a top-notch wealthy family in Insterimond. If the news of Sid’s sudden accident spread to Insterimond, there would probably be chaos.

At the same time, Lennon had already pulled Adrian over to bow and apologize to Melody.

Adrian was still skeptical about Melody’s identity, but he did not dare to disobey his father’s order for the time being. He could only endure the humiliation and say, “Dr. Fox, I was blind. Please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf…

Melody frowned and said, “I don’t have time to deal with you now. After the surgery, we’ll settle all the scores slowly.” At that time, not only would she seek justice for Sid and herself, but she would also investigate how many ridiculous things this hospital had done under the father and son’s management.

Adrian sneered in his heart. ‘Settling scores? This hospital belongs to my father. Once this woman leaves, who will dare to settle scores with me? Adrian thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded hypocritically. “Yes, yes, yes. The patient is more important. However, do you mean that you want to be the chief surgeon for the patient yourself?

Chapter 513

Melody looked at Adrian expressionlessly. “If it’s not me, are you willing to be the chief surgeon?”

“No, no, no…” Adrian waved his hands. ‘How can I take over this mess? I’m not stupid.

However, Adrian quickly realized that it was not good for him to reject Melody like this. He added, “You’re a miracle-working doctor. With you here, I might not as well cause trouble.”

Melody could not be bothered with Adrian anymore. After letting the unrelated personnel, including Lennon and James, leave, she walked to the operating table and asked a few surgical assistants about Sid’s situation.

These assistants were very professional. They reported every detail to Melody. “The patient’s blood pressure and heart rate…”

Melody frowned when she heard this because Sid’s situation was worse than she had imagined.

He had been stabbed a total of three times, almost fatally. If the people in the ambulance did not do as she said, Sid would have died long ago.

However, what sent chills down Melody’s spine was that she was afraid she couldn’t change anyone’s fate.

In his previous life, Sid had never suffered such a serious injury. In the end, he died suddenly. Although the situation in this life was different, unfortunately, his life was in anger. ‘What if fate can not be changed at all? Even if I save Sid’s life this time, will there be a next time? If a person is destined to die, no matter how hard I try, will that person still die young in the end? Even if I changed the process, the time of the incident, and the cause of the incident itself, if the outcome does not change no matter what, then not only will Sid’s fate be unchanged, but my fate will also be unchanged. I’ll still die at the hands of the Fox family and Ulric.’ Looking at Sid before her, Melody felt that she was not fighting against death, but against fate…

The more Melody thought about it, the more afraid she became. The helplessness and despair assaulted her heart. A layer of cold sweat even appeared on her forehead.

Adrian, who had shamelessly stayed in the resuscitation room, saw Melody’s pale face and sweat all over her body. His heart was filled with mockery.

‘It seems that this woman is afraid. She had vowed to be the chief surgeon but did not know how serious the patient’s injuries were. Now that she hears about the patient’s condition, she probably only feels regret. However, this is good, too. This patient looks like he comes from a wealthy family. Perhaps he has a strong background. If he dies and his family investigates, not only can I escape responsibility, but even my father’s hospital will not get implicated because we had only “kindly” provided the resuscitation room. The person who operates on the patient is not us at all, but this ungrateful woman in front of me.’ The more Adrian thought about it, the more he felt that even God was helping him.

At the thought of this, Adrian even deliberately stepped forward to flatter Melody. “Yes, the patient’s injuries are serious, but with a miracle-working doctor like Miss Fox, I’m sure she can turn the tide.”

At this moment, Melody also came back to her senses. She coldly told Adrian to shut up and then asked a few surgical assistants to prepare before the surgery.

She still had time to argue with Adrian and the others just now because Zara had not arrived yet.

Before she had enough blood bags, she could not undergo surgery rashly.

However, looking at the time now, she knew Zara should be arriving soon and that she could start preoperative preparations first.

When Adrian saw that Melody focused on her preoperative preparations, he thought it was because of his “flatter” that Melody was in a difficult position and could only brace herself and go ahead even if the surgery was not easy. He was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, no one noticed his expression.

At this moment, someone brought Zara into the emergency room.

The resuscitation room was filled with the smell of blood.

Zara had never seen such a scene before. The moment she entered the resuscitation room, she felt her stomach churning and she almost vomited. Even so, Zara endured the discomfort and walked forward. ‘Melody, I’m here Melody nodded and said gratefully and guiltily, “Thank you” Although there were only two words, she and Zara hit it off at first sight. There was no need for more words between them.

Zara smiled, but when she realized she was wearing a mask and Melody could not see it, she said, “No need. I often donate blood. Not only for the sake of doing good but also so that someone can be like me when I encounter danger in the future.”

Melody nodded again and led Zara to the small bed beside the operating table.

The small bed was prepared just now. Melody knew that Zara probably did not want to see a bloody scene, so she specially called a few assistant doctors to separate a piece of cloth between the two beds.

Soon, everything was ready. The surgery had begun.

In the resuscitation room, the surgery was being carried out nervously.

Outside the resuscitation room, Ken wasn’t idle either. After pacing back and forth, he still found the number of Sid’s father, Sebastian Quant, in his contact list.

When James saw this, he boldly reminded him, “Mr. Swanson, Quant family people already had many misunderstandings about you. Now that Mr. Quant has such a thing, are you sure you want to tell them? This will make them dislike you even more.”

Ken turned to look at James. “Don’t forget that Sid is their son. They have the right to know how dangerous Sid’s situation is now.

Moreover, Sid is too seriously injured. Although Melody’s medical skills are superb, there are always accidents.”

James opened his mouth, but in the end, he closed it. ‘Mr. Swanson is right. It will be best if Melody can save Mr. Quant, but if Mr. Quant dies and people of the Quant family don’t even see Mr. Quant for the last time, they will only hate Mr. Swanson, who hid it from them, even more.’

A few seconds after the call was made, the call ended.

Sebastian hung up. It was enough to show how much Sebastian disliked Ken.

However, Ken’s expression did not change at all. He dialed that number again.

This time, Sebastian finally picked up the call, but his tone was unfriendly. “I was wondering why Insterimond’s wind was so strong today. I didn’t expect it to be Mr. Swanson calling. I wonder what you want, Mr. Swanson?”

Anyone of good sense could hear the mockery in Sebastian’s words, but Ken didn’t seem to notice it at all. He maintained politeness and said, “Sebastian, I have something to tell you.”

“Oh, I can’t afford to be treated so respectfully by you. Those who don’t know better would think that I conspired with you to cripple your brother’s leg,” Sebastian said.

As soon as he said this, James, standing at the side, instantly got furious.

However, Ken acted as if he didn’t hear that at all. Ignoring Sebastian’s words, he continued, “Sid was seriously injured at the airport and was stabbed three times. One of the stabs pierced his heart and he’s currently in the emergency room.’

The person on the other end of the phone instantly fell silent.

After a few seconds, Sebastian’s crazy roar came from the phone, “Ken, if my son doesn’t wake up safely, I won’t let you off.”

“Don’t worry. If Sid doesn’t make it, I’ll cripple my right arm. You don’t have to do it yourself.” Ken’s expression remained unchanged.

Chapter 514

James was instantly shocked by Ken’s words.

However, on the other end of the phone, Sebastian’s tone became even crazier. “Crippling your right arm? Save it! Sid is naive and deceived by you. You can’t deceive me. If something happens to him, I’ll take your life.”

Ken did not answer and only gave the hospital’s address.

As soon as he said the address, Sebastian hung up the phone. ‘He must have left directly to come over, Ken thought.

James asked carefully, “Mr. Swanson. If something happens to Mr. Quant, are you going to cripple your right arm for real?”

“A gentleman never goes back on his word,” Ken said. “But-“

At this moment, a nurse rushed over.

However, when she saw the extraordinarily handsome Ken, she suddenly stopped. Her eyes lit up, and she forgot why she was there.

It was only when James reminded her that the young nurse returned to her senses and said, “Is the patient in Ward 1101 your friend?’ She’s awake.”

James immediately turned to Ken and asked, “Miss Murphy is awake. Do you want to go over and take a look?”

“Okay.” Ken nodded and walked toward Ward 1101.

While they carried out the mission, they turned off all the surveillance cameras at the airport to prevent the Blevins family from checking the surveillance footage after Averi went missing.

Therefore, no one else knew what had happened other than the witnesses. And Janet might very well be the only witness.

Ken couldn’t help but quicken his pace and walk toward the elevator.

After entering the elevator, James could not help but say,” Mr. Swanson, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.” Ken gave James a look that said, “Just say it.”

James carefully recounted what Sid had told him to Ken. Then, he observed Ken’s expression and asked, “Do you think Mr. Quant was injured because…”

“Shut up,” Ken said.

“Okay.” James immediately lowered his head and said, “I shouldn’t have speculated about Miss Murphy. Please punish me.”

However, after James finished speaking, Ken remained silent.

His gaze was fixed on the display screen on the elevator, but it didn’t seem to be there at all.

James felt puzzled. ‘It’s hard to guess what Mr. Swanson is thinking. I’ve been with Mr. Swanson for so many years,

but even today, I can’t read his mind.’ He couldn’t judge from Ken’s reaction whether he trusted Janet or suspected her.

Before James could look at Ken’s expression carefully, the elevator had already reached the eleventh floor.

Ken strode out of the elevator and went to Ward 1101. Just as they reached the door, they heard Janet arguing with the medical staff.

“Don’t stop me. I’m going to see how my friend is,” said Janet.

“Miss, just chill. You just woke up from a concussion. If you’re agitated, you’ll easily faint again. We’ll help you ask your friend about the situation. Lie down and rest first,” the nurse persuaded.

“Rest? If your friend’s life is in danger, can you rest? Get lost! Don’t stop me.”

“But… Miss…”

Ken stepped through the door. “Janet.”

Janet stopped pushing the nurse and looked up at Ken and James. They were walking toward her.

She ran out of bed the next second and grabbed Ken’s hand. “How is Sid? Is he alright now?”

Ken pursed his lips and did not reply.

Janet’s eyes darkened. She looked at James and said, ” James, just tell me.”

James lowered his head and said, “Miss Fox is operating on Mr. Quant in the emergency room. We don’t know the details, but they said the situation is dangerous.”

Janet’s legs went weak. She sat on the ground dejectedly and muttered to herself, “It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault…” “James.” Ken glanced at James.

James immediately understood and went forward to pull Janet up from the ground. “Miss Murphy, you’re injured too. Go and sit on the bed first.”

Janet shook her head. Tears flowed down her face as she said, “You guys don’t know. Sid was injured to save me.”

Ken frowned and asked James to help Janet to the bed while he gestured for the nurse to leave first.

After the nurse closed the door and left, Ken asked, “Janet, calm down and tell me slowly. What exactly happened?” “That’s right,” James also asked anxiously, “Didn’t I tell you to run west? Why did you go east?”

Janet lowered her eyes and said in a self-reproaching tone, I was going to run west, but I saw two people staring at me from the west. I was sure those two people were not our men, so I subconsciously ran in the opposite direction.

I thought the mission was to get the portrait anyway. And at that time, I thought as long as I could get it, it didn’t matter where I ran. So I took the little girl to the bathroom on the west side. But after I got the painting and told the young lady to leave, I was about to walk out of the bathroom when the two men staring at me appeared at the door.

“They had knives in their hands. I had to give them the painting first. However, they wanted to silence me after they took the painting away. Fortunately, Sid appeared in time and fought with those two people. Later on, you also knew that he was stabbed three times and fell to the

ground. I wanted to avenge Sid, but I was no match for them. They knocked me out. I don’t know what happened after that.”

Ken said calmly, “You said that they wanted to silence you, but you only have blunt weapon injuries on you.”

Janet’s eyelids twitched as she asked in disbelief, “Ken, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting me?”

Ken shook his head. “I don’t mean that. I only want to restore the scene.

“I don’t know why they didn’t kill me…” Janet shook her head and said in despair, “I would rather be the one who was stabbed. If something happens to Sid, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. But I think it was because someone happened to pass by the bathroom door. They didn’t want to be discovered, so they ran away.”

Ken was silent for two seconds before saying, “Rest well first. Don’t worry about anything else. Sid has Melody. On the other hand, if your concussion becomes serious, your life will be in danger.”

Janet nodded with an uncomfortable expression. She bit her lower lip hard and said, “Alright, I’ll rest well and not cause trouble for you. But you must tell me immediately after Sid’s surgery is successful.”

“Okay.” Ken nodded and turned to leave.

They walked out of the ward. After James closed the door, he asked in a low voice, “Mr. Swanson, do you need me to check if the two people Miss Murphy said watching her existed at the airport?”

As James spoke, he was afraid Ken would blame him. He added, “I’m not suspecting Miss Murphy. But if we check the surveillance cameras, we might catch those guys who attacked Sid.”

“Didn’t you turn off the airport surveillance cameras?”

“But we installed our surveillance cameras nearby to monitor Averi’s family’s every move.”

Ken was silent for two seconds. His voice was so faint that there was no emotion. “Then go and check it.”

“Okay.” James nodded.

However, something happened.

♡

Chapter 515

Behind the door of the ward, Janet retracted the ear pressed against the door.

She heard every word of their conversation outside.

Her expression was indifferent, and there was no trace of the previous sadness and self-blame. Instead, it was cold.” Ken is suspecting me…’

James might not have noticed it, but she knew Ken better than James.

From his tone, it was obvious that he wanted to check the surveillance footage because he did not trust her, not to catch those two people who did not exist, as James had said.

However, she did not understand. She had already followed what Ulric had taught her. She also believed that her acting skills were flawless. Even she almost believed it.

‘But why did Ken still suspect me? Melody must have said something to Ken. That’s why he planted the seed of doubt in his heart.’ With this thought in mind, Janet bit her lower lip hard. Her eyes were filled with hatred, but at the same time, she was also filled with panic. ‘If that damn bitch Melody saves Sid, won’t everything I did be exposed?’

Janet regretted that she hadn’t stabbed Sid more times. ‘I should have just cut his neck with a knife.’

The more Janet thought about it, the angrier she became. She cursed Melody in her heart.

But soon, Janet narrowed her eyes coldly and her mind slowly calmed down.

‘Even if Sid’s surgery is successful, it’ll take some time for him to wake up. I can join forces with Ulric and find a suitable time to attack Sid. As for Ken’s doubts…’ The corners of Janet’s lips curled up, and her originally exquisite face revealed a sly smile.

‘Ken is a loyal person. If something happens to Sid, he must be blaming himself. What if something happens to me too? At that time, Ken probably would forget about investigating those surveillance cameras, Janet thought.

*****

At the same time, in the emergency room.

Under the operation of Melody, the surgery entered the most dangerous moment.

Of the three slashes Sid suffered, two had hit the liver and one had pierced the heart.

It was already a medical miracle that he didn’t die at the airport and persevered until he was sent to the emergency room. Or rather, his willpower was strong.

He did not want to die. Or rather, he was unwilling to die just like that.

As the chief surgeon and Sid’s friend, Melody could

naturally feel Sid’s tenacious willpower. She was even more careful when performing the surgery.

Sweat kept appearing on her forehead. The nurse who wiped her sweat changed her sweat wipes one after another.

However, while Melody tried hard to save Sid on the operating table, Adrian was in the resuscitation room’s corner. He was scrolling through his phone in boredom. Occasionally, he found the Instagram of one of his university roommates.

If he remembered correctly, this roommate was currently working at First Hospital.

‘First Hospital… Didn’t Father say that Melody was First Hospital’s famous doctor?’ Adrian decisively found that friend to type and chat to find out if Melody had any background and if her medical skills were good.

Adrian: [Are you there?]

Adrian’s roommate quickly replied: [Hey, I can’t believe the future director has the time to chat with a nobody like me.]

Adrian: [Don’t tease me. You’ll get a lot of benefits in the future. I have something to ask you.]

Adrian’s roommate: [Go ahead.]

Adrian looked in the direction of Melody and typed quickly. [Is there a famous doctor in your hospital who is young and a woman?]

Adrian’s roommate: [Yes. Didn’t I mention it when we were gaming last week?]

Adrian’s temples throbbed. His roommate had mentioned it to him, but he did not care about First Hospital, so he did not pay much attention.

However, now that he thought about it, his roommate said that the miracle-working doctor’s medical skills were superb. She was the apple of First Hospital’s director’s eye. Adrian continued to ask: [Where did this miracle-working doctor come from? Is her medical skills as superb as the rumors say?]

Adrian’s roommate: [How can this be fake? Don’t you know what kind of person our hospital director is? If she doesn’t have some ability, how can he cherish her? Also, even our hospital’s Rodney, known as Golden Scalpel, admires her.] Adrian gritted his teeth in jealousy. ‘Previously, I wanted Rodney to be my teacher. Unexpectedly, Rodney turned around and took this little girl as his teacher. Still…’

Adrian suddenly thought of something. ‘If Melody has no background and the surgery is successful, I can take all the credit. In any case, the people in the emergency room are all employees of my hospital. What I say is the truth. However, if the surgery fails, I can get away with it. Why not?’ Adrian tried his best to suppress the smile on his face and continued typing. [Then, does this miracle-working doctor have any powerful background or backing?]

Adrian’s roommate: [I’ve never heard of that. I only learned from a few nurses that she seems to have been chased out by her family. Oh, right, she also majored in both traditional and modern medicine. She usually consults at Herbathrive.

Adrian raised an eyebrow. ‘Herbathrive? It’s only a traditional medicine clinic that modern medicine will completely be replaced soon.

(Is this the background of Melody?] Adrian confirmed.

[Melody?] Adrian’s roommate sent a question mark over and said: [The famous doctor in our hospital is Wilona Knowles, not Melody.]

Adrian’s expression froze. [Wilona? Are you sure her last name is not Fox?]

Adrian’s roommate: [I’m sure. I even saw her employment form in the human resources department by chance.

However, why are you suddenly asking about the miracle-working doctor in our hospital? Do you want to acknowledge her as your teacher? You’re outstanding, man. Your family runs a hospital, but you still try to improve your medical skills. Oh, outstanding people work harder than me, a nobody. How can ordinary people like me survive?] Adrian’s roommate was flattering him, so Adrian agreed. [It’s only right to work hard. Thank you for the information. I’ll get back to work.]

After that, he turned off his phone and looked coldly at Melody beside the operating table.

‘Miracle-working doctor? Bullshit! It seems that this bitch faked the phone call from the director of First Hospital. Damn it! How dare she pretend to be a famous doctor, causing my father to slap me a few times and even kick me? I have to teach her a lesson.’ with those thoughts in mind, Adrian walked toward the operating table, intending to teach Melody a lesson.

“Bitch!” Adrian’s eyes shone with pride as he said coldly, Stop immediately. I’ve already found out your identity. You’re not a miracle-working doctor at all. The miracle-working doctor from First Hospital’s name is Wilona. What an idiot. You don’t even know her name when you pretend to be someone else,”

When Melody heard Adrian’s words, she pursed her lips coldly.

The name she used when she joined Silverlake Central Hospital was Wilona.

However, the surgery was at the most critical moment. She

did not want to be distracted, so she did not even look at Adrian.

When Adrian saw that Melody dared to ignore him, he was furious. “Bitch, you’re courting death.”
