Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 551, 552, 553, 554, and 555) 

Chapter 551

Melody was not an outgoing person who felt natural when talking to unfamiliar people, especially when facing Moon, who had a completely opposite personality. She stiffly withdrew her hand from Moon’s arms and said truthfully, “I really don’t love a certain type of man, and I probably won’t have one in the future.”

Moon was stunned and asked, “Why? So how are you going to date or have a relationship? Or are you just aimlessly following your heart?”

Melody lowered her eyes. “No. I don’t have any plans to fall in love, and I won’t for a long time.”

“I see.” Moon looked at Ken sympathetically.

Ken ignored her pitiful look and suddenly stood up to pull Moon’s hand.

Melody looked up at the two of them in shock, and then she heard Ken say, “I forgot it. So let me introduce her again. She is Blue Moon Lounge’s boss, and also my aunt.”

Melody’s eyes widened in shock speechlessly. The scene from before surged into her mind again when Ken did not express any disgust at Moon’s hand on his shoulder. When Moon held Ken’s hand and walked out, he did not reject her either.

She thought that Moon was Ken’s ideal type or that there was something between the two of them, but it turned out that she had misunderstood.

Melody’s lips twitched. The surprise in her heart turned into embarrassment. Fortunately, she quickly tried her best to calm down and stood up to greet Moon. “Hello…”

“Huh?” Moon looked at Melody and asked with a puzzled expression, “So you didn’t know it before?”

Melody shook her head and cursed Ken for not telling the truth in advance.

Ken seemed to read her mind and said, “I didn’t have time to say it.”

“Alright, alright. You don’t have to treat me like an elder. Although I’m older, I’ve never had a gap with you young people.” Moon blinked at Melody and said, “I’m very curious. Why don’t you want to date? Have you been hurt by a man before?”

Since he was an elder, Melody had no choice but to answer. She could only vaguely say, “I guess so…”

The love of her previous life had killed her. She had not just been heartbroken. Her heart had also been dug out by that man. However, she naturally would not tell Moon this.

Moon grew even more curious. “Who hurt you? How? Cheating? Violence?”

“Both, I guess…” Melody turned her head away slightly.

Moon’s mouth widened in surprise.

Meanwhile, Ken’s expression darkened. At that time, James had investigated Melody very carefully. In the past over 20 years, Melody had never been in a relationship at all. She had not even approached any men before. But Melody was not a person who would lie.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something. When Melody was drunk that day, she asked him a question. “Do you believe that there are people in this world who died and got reborn back to a few years before?”

He did not take Melody’s words seriously at that time, but combined with the various deeds that happened to her, everything seemed to point to this question. Ken narrowed his eyes and slowly clenched his fists.

Melody did not notice the change in Ken’s expression. She did not want to continue talking about this topic at all. “It’s about time to eat. Could we stop talking about these things?”

“Alright, alright.” Moon hurriedly nodded.

Coincidentally, the waiter came in to serve the dishes. Moon stood up and said, “I’ll go downstairs. If you need anything, call me anytime.”

“Okay.” Melody nodded and watched Moon leave. However, when she turned her head, her gaze met with Ken’s dark eyes. His eyes were usually filled with pressure but now had a new emotion, heartache.

Melody just treated him as a friend who felt sorry for her. “You don’t have to do this. It’s already over.”

“You…” Ken’s thin lips parted slightly, but he realized that his voice had become hoarse. He covered his nose and coughed to get his voice back to normal. “How come you never told me this before?”

Melody shrugged. “You never asked me. Why would I bring up something so pathetic?”

“That’s true…” Ken paused and asked, “Did he really hit you?”

Melody lowered her eyes. She didn’t know if giving the order to dig out her heart counted as hitting. She remembered that when she found out that she was tricked by Ulric into the hospital and refused to give her heart to Mabel, Ulric did slap her.

Thinking of this, Melody nodded and agreed. The moment her voice fell, she could clearly see Ken’s eyes instantly darken, as if a hurricane had stirred up in the depths of his eyes. “What’s his name?”

Melody was shocked. She did not intend to say that she had been reborn. “Can we not talk about this again? I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

“I understand.” Ken’s voice was low and hoarse. However, he vaguely thought of someone. ‘Ulric.’ He always felt that Melody seemed to have a strange hatred against Ulric.

Melody changed the topic and continued what she asked before. “Don’t forget about the divorce. Call me when you have time.”

Ken clenched his fists tightly on his lap. He did not want to progress so quickly, not to scare Melody. He hoped that they would be together naturally. In fact, he could even agree to a divorce first.

However, after hearing about those things today, he did not want to let go at all. He could not rest assured if he handed Melody over to any other man. Thinking of this, Ken directly refused, “I don’t agree to divorce.”

Melody was stunned and asked in shock, “Why?”

“No why. Anyway, I don’t agree to divorce.” Ken was serious.

‘What?’ Melody’s head was filled with confusion. She was about to ask again when her phone suddenly rang.

She had no choice but to take out her phone from her pocket. It was an unfamiliar number.

“Hello?” She picked up the call hesitantly and heard an old voice on the other end of the line. “Is this Morin Palmer?”

Melody was stunned. She asked in shock, “Mr. Chapman?” “Yes!” A joyful tone came from the other side.

“What can I do for you?” She asked.

“Thanks to your prescription, I’ve recovered. To express my gratitude, I want to invite you to River Hotel for dinner.”

Melody thought that there was nothing much to do tonight, so she nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll definitely be there.”

“That’s great!” He said happily on the other end of the phone. “I’ll get my grandson to pick you up. Where are you staying?”

“Just let him come to Herbathrive.”

“Okay, okay…” He hung up the phone after another round of gratitude.

Melody put down her phone and met Ken’s gaze. “Do you remember the illness of Mr. Chapman’s eyes?”

“You cured him?” Although it was a question, Ken was not surprised at all.

Melody nodded. “Yes, he said he would treat me to dinner tonight.”

“Tonight? Where?” Ken also found it unexpected.

“River Hotel,” Melody said.

Ken hesitated for a moment and said, “I have to go back to the hospital after the meeting in the afternoon to strengthen the manpower arrangements so that they won’t have the chance to attack Sid again. I’ll look for you after I’m done.”

Chapter 552

“There’s no need. Just do your own thing. Don’t worry about me. Mr. Chapman has sent someone to pick me up,” Melody rejected.

Ken did not say anything. He picked up a chicken

drumstick and placed it in her bowl. “You’re too skinny. Eat more.”

Melody looked at the food that Ken picked up in shock. She felt that ever since the conversation with Moon, he had become different from before. Ken possessed the same expression and tone, but she just felt that something had changed, but she couldn’t tell exactly what it was.

“H-I can do it myself.” As she spoke, she lowered her head and quickly ate, trying her best to finish this meal as soon as possible.

Then she hurriedly brought up that topic again. “You just said you didn’t agree to a divorce. What the hell does that mean?”

Ken put down his fork and looked at her with a deep gaze. “What do you think?”

“Me?” Melody pointed at her nose, but she completely had no idea why.

“You’ll know it.” Ken took a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth slowly like a noble. Then, he stood up and said, “I’m going to a meeting. You can sit here for a while. The driver will be here soon.”

“Wait…” Melody quickly stood up, but Ken was even faster than her. In the blink of an eye, he had already walked out.

Melody was about to chase after him when Moon happened to walk in at this moment.

“Melody…” Moon naturally changed the way she addressed Melody from “Miss Fox” to “Melody”. She acted as if it was only natural for them to be closer.

Melody had no choice but to temporarily give up chasing after Ken. She forced a smile and asked Moon, “What’s the matter?”

After Moon gestured for her to sit down and said, “I heard that… you know medicine, in both traditional and modern, right?”

“How did you know? Did Ken tell you?” Melody asked.

Moon paused. “It could be said so.”

Obviously, she was lying. When Moon knew that Ken had finally found a woman, she immediately made a full investigation into Melody’s background.

She didn’t like to pry into other people’s privacy, nor did she feel disdainful that Melody was ugly. It was just that she was very curious. She wondered without the bonus point. of appearance, what charm Melody had to defeat the other beautiful women in Halcyon and attract her nephew, who had an extremely picky taste.

Melody did not know what Moon was thinking. She just nodded and asked, “I did learn something about medicine. Why are you asking this?”

“Oh…” Moon stretched out her hand and said, “Can you take my pulse and see how long I can live?”

Melody was stunned. Then, she thought that Moon just wanted to know her lifespan. She politely smiled and said, “I’m a doctor, not a fortune-teller. But I think you can live for at least a hundred years.”

Everyone knew how to speak sweet words, and almost everyone liked to listen to them. However, Moon smiled bitterly and revealed a desolate expression that was completely different from before. “Melody, I’m not joking with you. I’m sick and might not live for long.”

The smile on Melody’s face froze. She said with a serious expression, “Let me check your pulse first.”

“Alright.” Moon nodded. However, just as she reached out her hand, she immediately pulled it back.

Melody gave her a puzzled expression. Moon smiled bitterly again and said, “Forget it. If I really know how long I can live, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep every night. At that time, I won’t be able to hide it from Ken.”

Melody frowned. “You can’t avoid it. I see that your face is very rosy and healthy. You don’t look like you don’t have much time left. And there’s a chance that the hospital may misdiagnose you.”

Moon’s back stiffened. She smiled and said, “That’s because I put on makeup. If I take off my makeup, my face will be so pale that it will scare people to death.”

“All the more reason to see a doctor. Medical progress is faster than you think. Tell me what illness you have first. Perhaps I can treat it?” Melody’s eyes flickered with bright sincerity.

Melody was not good at bragging, but for Moon’s health, she still braced herself and said, “My medical skills are better than you think. I also have a way of treating terminal illness in the eyes of most people. One of my aunts is called Beverly. She has gastric cancer, but after I operated on her, she is about to be discharged from the hospital now.”

Moon’s eyelashes fluttered as she said, “My illness is different from cancer. It’s a genetic disease, which can’t be cured at all. Don’t waste your effort.”

“Genetic disease?” Melody was indeed unable to treat this type of illness.

Moon met Melody’s gaze and held her hand. “Good girl, don’t blame yourself. I’m actually prepared. I already feel very lucky to have lived for so many years. However, the only thing I’m worried about is that after I die, Ken will be left alone. You also know that the Swanson family is a horrible place. There aren’t many people who really want him to be well. I heard that you’ve already been a legal couple, right? Can you promise me that you will take good care of him?”

“I…” Melody hesitated and said, “I married Ken to fulfill Margaret’s wish, but she has recovered now. There’s no need for us to continue this fake marriage. We might get a divorce soon.

“I know. I shouldn’t have pushed you. If you don’t agree, just forget it…” Moon’s eyes were filled with tears.

Seeing this, Melody could not reject a seriously ill person. She could only grit her teeth and say, “I didn’t say that I wouldn’t agree to it. I’ve owed Ken a lot. I’m afraid I won’t be able to repay them in a short period of time. But I’ll do my best to take care of him.”

“That’s good. Thank you, Melody.” Moon said with an extremely grateful expression, “So I don’t have to worry about him after I die. He’s cold on the surface but warm inside. He’s a really good man.”

“I know… he’s indeed a very good person.” Melody lowered her head.

Moon smiled and wiped her tears. “Alright, sorry to disturb your time. Please come to visit me with Ken when you’re free. But remember not to tell him about this. I’m afraid he won’t be able to take it.”

“… Okay.” Melody stood up and said goodbye with a heavy heart.

Just as Moon had said, there were only a handful of people in this world who truly cared about Ken and not his special identity. Melody wanted to stay away from Ken from now on, but it seemed that she could not leave until she got rid of their common enemy. However, this time, she would not just treat Ken as an ally and a helper for revenge. She would treat him as a friend.

But what she did not know was that the moment she left Blue Moon Lounge, Moon, who was originally dejected, revealed a smug smile.

Chapter 553

“Young girl, too naive.” Moon shook her head with a satisfactory expression.

After it was done, Ken had to thank her. After all, she had paid a huge price for cursing herself. Thinking of this, Moon took out her phone and sent a message to Ken. [If the two of you really get together in the future, you have to thank your beautiful aunt.]

Ken, who was on his way to the meeting, replied with a question mark in confusion but there was no reply.

Ken did not think too much about it. Moon had always been so incomprehensible and always been doing strange things and saying weird words.

Just as he was about to put down his phone, James suddenly made a call to him. Ken immediately tensed up and quickly picked up the call. “What’s going on?”

James replied concisely, “Mr. Swanson, Miss Murphy is awake. Her surgery was successful, but her emotions were not stable. She kept making a fuss. The doctors had no choice but to inject her with a tranquilizer. Are you coming here to take a look?”

“I’ll be there later. I have a meeting at Ximber Tech now,” Ken said calmly.

“Yes, I understand. But… did you find anything about the chat logs and the airport surveillance footage?” James asked tentatively.

“No,” Ken said expressionlessly. “She didn’t betray us. Take good care of her. Don’t let her have the chance to harm herself again.”

“Alright, or it would be really hard for me to trust the people around me.” James let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, he remembered something. With a complicated expression, he gripped his phone tightly and said, “But there’s one more thing I have to tell you.”

“Say it,” Ken replied immediately.

“Miss Fox made a bet with me previously. The bet was to arrange a full-body checkup for Miss Murphy without her knowing. After I lost it, I couldn’t find a suitable opportunity, so I took advantage of her cutting her own wrist to give her a checkup. Now that the results of the checkup are out, I’m going to give them to her. But I thought that I should tell you in advance. I’m afraid that Miss Fox would have some other motives to make me do this,” James explained.

Ken narrowed his eyes. “What motives?”

“Yeah…” James did not see Ken’s expression on the other end of the phone. Naturally, he did not know that his eyes were filled with displeasure. “The incident at the airport made me more guarded. Among the few of us, Miss Fox has known us for the shortest time, so I think we should more or less be wary of her. After all, who would set up a bet to let another person go for a checkup? This is too strange.”

Ken opened his mouth, but in the end, he held back his words. James was a one-track-minded person, so it was useless to refute him. He just asked, “When did you make the bet?”

“It’s been over a month,” James answered.

“Over a month…” Ken’s gaze drifted away. He remembered that it was the time when Janet was diagnosed to be infertile. “You don’t have to mention this to Melody, and you don’t have to tell anyone else. When I come over tonight, give me the medical report.”

“Yes!” James nodded.

Seeing that he had arrived at the Ximber Tech’s building, Ken hung up the phone.

Today was the first week of Zack’s work here. He had come this time to inspect his performance. He had to see if Zack was worth it for them to spend so much effort to poach.

*****

At the same time, in a private manor, a heavy slap landed on Wendell’s face. He felt a sharp pain on his cheek. Then, the taste of blood quickly spread in his mouth. He subconsciously reached out to hold something with his hand, and a tooth fell into his palm.

Wendell suddenly widened his eyes as anger replaced fear. He could not take it anymore and glared at Ulric. “Ulric, I’m your uncle!”

As soon as he finished speaking, another slap landed on his face, followed by a bloodthirsty aura.

Wendell was shocked. To his horror, he saw Ulric take out a silver revolver from his suit and aim it at him without hesitation.

“No, no-” He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Ulric stared at Wendell expressionlessly. Suddenly, his gaze landed on something and he curled his lips slyly. “Uncle? Your pants seem to be wet.”

Wendell peed his pants. He subconsciously tightened his legs, but the next second, the gun was aimed at his forehead. Goosebumps rose all over his body in an instant. His entire body was stiff and he did not dare to move. His legs trembled as he begged for mercy. “I was wrong. Mr. Swanson, don’t, don’t kill me…”

“Then tell me, what’s the point of me keeping you? You’ve already been fired and have no value anymore. You also caused me to be reprimanded by Ramon. My image has almost been ruined. Tell me, what other reason do you have to live?” Ulric stared down at Wendell with a formidable gaze.

Wendell’s entire body was trembling. He was trying his best to think quickly when he suddenly thought of an idea. “I-I’m still useful. Didn’t I find a doctor who can treat your legs?” Ulric shook his head. “That doctor came to you on their own accord. I’ll give you another ten seconds. If you still can’t think of your use, I’ll have to put justice before family.”

“I-” Wendell’s voice was shaking.

Ulric directly interrupted Wendell. As he controlled his wheelchair to circle around him, he began the countdown. Ten, nine…”

Wendell’s face was ashen. He knew that Ulric was a ruthless person and would definitely do what he said, not just threaten.

When Ulric counted to two, Wendell quickly shouted, “I got it! I got it!”

Ulric stopped and walked up to him with a fake smile. “Oh? Tell me about it.”

Wendell took a deep breath and said, “That damned Owen must have betrayed us because of that doctor called Melody. She is a huge threat to you. I will think of a way to get rid of her!”

The expression on Ulric’s face froze slightly. The smile on his lips deepened, but he still looked so cold. “Have you come up with a plan, then? I don’t want empty words.” Wendell’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. ‘H haven’t thought of it yet, but give me some time. I’ll definitely ruin her reputation and kill her!”

Ulric did not say anything. He just looked at Wendell coldly.

However, Wendell was even more afraid and said repeatedly, “I swear, I will really kill her! Give me a month!”

Ulric raised his eyebrows. “A month…”

The next second, the revolver was aimed at Wendell’s forehead again.

Wendell gritted his teeth and said, “Two weeks! Give me two weeks!”

Ulric let out a cold smile. “A week. If nothing happens to her after a week, you’ll be the one in trouble.”

Chapter 554

“One week…” Wendell’s face was ashen. How was he going to kill Melody in a week?

“What? You can’t do it?” Ulric raised his eyebrows.

Wendell knew very well that he had no other choice and gritted his teeth. “I-I can do it.”

“Good.” Ulric moved the gun from Wendell’s forehead to his chin. “Before you go back to the company tomorrow, take the money you embezzled from Owen to that old man. You know what you should say.”

Owen did not mention that he was also involved in manipulating the data. He only said that to increase Taynorma Capital’s value, he bribed Wendell.

However, Ramon was suspicious. While scolding Wendell, he also glanced at him with an extremely cold gaze. If he couldn’t whitewash himself in this matter, his image in Ramon’s heart would plummet. This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to kill Wendell immediately.

“I-I know.” Wendell nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to put himself in the position of an elder anymore. In front of a heartless person like Ulric, not to mention him, even if the person who did something wrong was his mother, he would probably still bear to kill her.

“Get out!” Ulric shouted.

Upon hearing that he could leave, Wendell immediately scrambled out of the room and ran away from the manor as if the devil was chasing after him.

Sitting in the wheelchair before the window, Ulric saw Wendell’s pathetic fleeing away with disgust in his eyes. At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind him. “Mr. Swanson, since you hate that trash so much, why didn’t you kill him just now? It’s of no point to keep him anyway.” The woman paused and reminded Ulric,” The manor is so big, the gunshots can’t reach outside.” Ulric turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the charming middle-aged woman in front of him, Jennie.

“Dr. Taylor, you consider that the gunshots couldn’t reach outside, why don’t you know who that old man will suspect first if Wendell is really dead?”

Naturally, Jennie knew that the old man was referring to Ramon. Her expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. “You’re right. I was too careless. Mr. Swanson, you are indeed a smart person. I’m very relieved to work for you. But… what if that guy can’t do what he promised after a week?”

Ulric lowered his eyes and smiled, but the laugh made her back turn cold. “You don’t think that trash really can do something Melody, do you?” Even he couldn’t hit Melody in one shot, not to mention that useless Wendell.

Jennie was stunned again. Her mind was racing. About two minutes later, her lips suddenly curled up. “Got it. You didn’t plan to use Wendell to get rid of Melody. You said that to Wendell so that he could go after Melody. Then after this week, you kill him and frame Melody for his death. At that time, the prime suspect won’t be you, but her.”

Ulric’s lips were also curved. “Dr. Taylor, you’re also very smart. I’m also very relieved to work with you.”

Jennie shrugged and took out a small glass bottle containing a transparent liquid from her pocket. “Actually… there’s no need for you to go to such lengths to deal with a little girl. I’ve recently developed a new thing. It’s colorless and odorless. It will automatically evaporate in half an hour and won’t leave any traces. Wouldn’t it be best to use her as our lab rat to test its effect?”

Using this new material on Melody, not only could Jennie save a lot of manpower and resources, but she could also verify its effects.

Ulric took the bottle and played with it thoughtfully. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “If you had taken this out a month ago, I might have used it on her. But now… forget it.”

“Why?” Jennie asked.

Ulric raised his eyebrows and said, “Other than Ken, she’s the only one worthy of being my opponent. I can use her to practice.”

“Practice?” She was confused.

“Yes. If I can’t even deal with her, how can I deal with Ken?” Ulric was still confident in his methods. Of course, there was another reason. He would feel better watching his opponent struggle in pain than directly poisoning her to death.

Seeing this, Jennie stopped recommending and said, “In that case, I’ll listen to you. Today’s acupuncture is over. I’ll go.”

“Wait.” Ulric stopped her and asked, “You’ve dealt with Melody twice. Who do you think is better between you and her, in medical skills?”

Jennie snorted disdainfully and said, “I admit that her acupuncture technique is superb, like an old friend of mine. But anyway, she’s just a little girl. Are you comparing me to her because you don’t trust your own judgment?”

Ulric smiled. “I like your confidence.”

“Thank you. Goodbye.” Jennie bowed slightly and left.

Sitting in the car leaving the manor, she received a call from her daughter, Regina. “Mom, you asked me to pretend to be that doctor called Wilona Knowles and work in First Hospital, right? Now that the director wants me to perform a very challenging surgery tomorrow, I… – I can’t do it. What should I do?”

Jennie’s eyes were filled with frustration, but after all, this girl was still her daughter, so she just asked patiently,” What surgery?”

“Hip replacement,” Regina replied.

Jennie’s expression instantly darkened. “It’s so easy. Do you find it difficult?”

On the other end of the line, Regina’s expression changed slightly, and her voice carried a hint of grievance. “But I used to study from malicious doctors, and I tried modern medicine for only two years. Why did you insist on placing me in this hospital?

“Heh, if you don’t go there, are you going to spend the rest of your life in a small traditional clinic and let people find out that you’re a malicious doctor? Or are you planning to stay at home and be a useless person? You know that I never raise useless people, even if you’re my daughter.” Jennie scolded.

“I-” Regina tried to defend herself but got interrupted immediately.

“Cut the crap! Go home after work. I’ll teach you how to perform hip replacement surgery!” Jennie was running out of patience.

“Got it…” Regina was shocked and quickly agreed.

At this moment, footsteps sounded at the office door. Regina hurriedly hung up the phone and pretended to be reading the medical record seriously.

The next second, there was a knock on the door. It was Oliver. “Dr. Knowles…”

Regina, who had changed her name to Wilona Knowles, smiled to greet the director. “Mr. Wallrich, anything?”

Oliver nodded, walked in, and said, “How’s the preparation for tomorrow’s surgery?”

“I’m preparing. It shouldn’t be a problem.” Regina tried to maintain a confident expression.

“I’m glad to hear that.” Oliver heaved a sigh of relief and said, “The hip surgery is not difficult. Other doctors used to be in charge of it. But this time the patient is my wife. I don’t want anything to go wrong, so leave this to you. Thanks.”

Regina’s back was covered in sweat. She tried her best to maintain the smile on her face and said, “Nothing, it’s my duty.”

“Well, so keep doing your work, then. I’m leaving.” Oliver turned his back.

“Okay…” Regina watched Oliver leave. When the door closed, she collapsed on the chair in despair.

Chapter 555

Regina was devastated. ‘What should I do?’

The patient was Oliver’s wife. If she made any mistake, Oliver would definitely suspect her identity. At that time, she would probably get ruined as the imposter. Regina grabbed her hair hard. She could only hope that her mother would teach her this surgery tonight.

*****

After Melody left Blue Moon Lounge, she coincidentally met with the death warrior who had just returned from sending Lucas off. James was now staying with Sid, so in addition to being her driver, this death warrior also took over James’s job. He didn’t even have a name and people called him with a code, 1017. Melody just directly called him Seventeen.

After getting into the car, she instructed concisely, Seventeen, investigate a person…” She paused for a moment and said, “She should have passed away. Her name is Averi Blevins. Please find out where she’s currently buried.”

“Yes!” Seventeen was as efficient as James and quickly found an address. “She’s buried in the Cemetery of Silverlake.”

Melody nodded. “Let’s go there.”

“Got it.” Seventeen stepped on the accelerator and left Blue Moon Lounge.

When the car passed by a flower shop, Melody asked him to stop the car and got out to buy four bouquets of flowers. About half an hour later, she handed the three bouquets to Seventeen. “You go find Averi’s grave. I’ll go to another place to see someone.”

“Yes.” Seventeen did not suspect anything and quickly went to locate Averi’s tomb.

Seeing Seventeen leave, Melody carried a bouquet and walked to a tombstone with ease. She had been to this place many times in her previous life, but she had never been here in this life. So this was the first time the tomb owner had seen this visitor.

Her gaze was quiet and complicated as she looked at the photo on the tombstone. It was a woman with stunning looks. Her age was forever frozen at 26, the most beautiful age of her life. The name under the photo was Wilona Fox. After looking at the photo for a while, Melody said in a low voice, “Mom… I don’t know if you can still recognize me. I’m your daughter. Today I’m coming here to see you. You were killed by Yolanda not long after I was born. You must be indignant, right?

“I’ve experienced this kind of thing before, but I was quite lucky. God gave me a chance to be reborn, and I grabbed it tightly. Yolanda is already in prison. Mabel and Russell are still alive, but there’s still a long way to go. One day, I’ll make Russell kneel before your grave and repent!”

After standing for a while, Melody spoke again, “I’m leaving. Revenge is a hard thing and there is a lot to do. I might not have the time to visit you often in the future. But the promise I made today must be fulfilled one day!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a black butterfly suddenly landed on her finger. Melody was shocked as she looked at the butterfly that did not seem to be afraid of humans. “Is this you?”

The butterfly was frightened and flapped its wings to fly away.

“Miss Fox, I’ve finally found you…” Seventeen’s voice came from behind.

Melody quickly came back to her senses and laughed self-deprecatingly. ‘What’s wrong with myself? I even thought that this butterfly was Mom.’

She took a deep breath and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone. She turned to look at Seventeen and said, ” Take me there.”

“Yes!” Seventeen replied, but out of curiosity, he glanced at the tombstone and a stunned look flashed across his eyes. The woman in the photo was too pretty. He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

“Seventeen?” Melody’s voice sounded.

Seventeen instantly realized that he was in a daze. “Sorry, Miss Fox.” He had been strictly trained since he was young. Under normal circumstances, he would not be lost in thought. This was enough to prove how beautiful the woman in the photo was.

Melody shook her head. “Let’s go.”

She took the lead and walked to the front. Seventeen quickly followed and happened to see Melody’s back. She walked against the light with a long shadow as her long black hair fluttered in the wind. She had a slender figure, but she looked so tall and solid.

For some reason, Seventeen actually felt that the girl in front of him was somewhat similar to the beautiful woman on the tombstone. But soon, Seventeen shook his head and threw those messy thoughts away. That was so ridiculous. He had seen Melody without makeup. How could he associate her with the peerless beauty on the tombstone? He completely cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and quickened his pace. In less than five minutes, Seventeen stopped and pointed to the right. “This is the place you’re looking for.”

Melody turned around and saw Averi’s photo on the tombstone. No one would have thought that this girl would stay at such a young age forever, so even her last photo was a student.

Melody’s eyes suddenly turned red. If it wasn’t for her, if she had stopped the airport plan, Averi would not have died on the plane.

There were too many ifs. There were thousands of words, but in the end, they only turned into a simple apology. “I’m sorry.”

Melody stood up straight and suddenly bent her knees, kneeling towards the tombstone. She knew that this matter was not entirely her fault, but she was still a crucial part of it. Because in her previous life, Averi would never have experienced something like the fire in the youth center.

Beside her, Seventeen was shocked by Melody’s actions. In his hesitation, he gritted his teeth and knelt down together. Time passed minute by minute. No one knew how long they had been kneeling for. Even the well-trained Seventeen felt that his knees were extremely sore and he could not hold on any longer.

“Miss Fox…” Seventeen reminded her with a pale face.” Your health matters. Why don’t you get up first? No matter why you’re doing this, you’ve been kneeling for so long. It should be enough.”

His knee was injured during training. If he couldn’t end it soon, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get his feet back on the ground.

However, Melody shook her head. ‘Enough? No. It’s far from enough.’

However, from the corner of her eye, she saw Seventeen kneeling with her. Her instinct as a doctor made her realize that something was wrong with him, and she suddenly frowned. The next second, she quickly got up and reached out to pull Seventeen up.

“Miss Fox, don’t worry about me. I’m fine…” He sounded weak.

However, Melody acted as if she did not hear anything. After Seventeen stood up straight, she squatted down in front of him and reached out to press his knees.

“Hiss!” Seventeen frowned and stepped back.

“Your knees are injured. Why are you kneeling with me?” Melody glared at Seventeen and ordered, “Sit down.” Seventeen did not understand, but he still obeyed the order. Melody straightened his legs and let him pull up his pants. Then she took out the needles and inserted them into a few acupoints on Seventeen’s legs.

The sour and numb feeling immediately swept through Seventeen’s legs.

Ten minutes later, he was surprised to find that his knees, which were sore all year round, miraculously no longer felt uncomfortable. “Miss Fox, you’re amazing…”

Melody was about to speak when a familiar voice came from behind.
