Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 566, 567, 568, 569, and 570) 

Chapter 566

After pondering for a while, Mabel decided to ignore Cadence. Anyway, she had only asked her to press the button and turn on the screen. No one had told her that she should turn it off.

Moreover, Mabel did not know about this plan before and was also an innocent victim. Cadence would only hate Melody, not her.

Mabel was brainwashing herself and quickly got rid of the last trace of guilt in her heart. Then she put the button back into her pocket with a clear conscience.

The bodyguards downstairs did not know that the remote was in Mabel’s hands, so they could not turn off the screen. They had no choice but to control the computer while the other group ran upstairs. However, for no reason, the computer seemed to have crashed, and they had no way to operate it.

On the second floor, Cadence had specially reinforced the door to execute the plan perfectly, so no one outside could not open the door easily.

Melody could sense that the two groups of people were flustered as she pursed her lips coldly and looked at the big screen.

Cadence had already woken up, but as a spoiled rich daughter, she could not break free from the bald man who was twice her weight. She could only cry and scream, her eyes filled with despair.

However, there was no pity in Melody’s eyes. After all, kindness to the enemy was cruelty to herself. If anything she had made any slight errors just now, she would have been the female lead in that video.

Cadence deserved this pathetic ending because she was the cause of everything. She did not deserve anyone’s pity.

In the room, Cadence’s emotions had gradually turned from hatred, despair, regret, and breakdown to numbness. The dual torture of her body and mind left her eyes empty, like a lifeless puppet.

The man was finally done, but his head was still unconscious. His brain could not tell what the woman beneath him looked like. He only remembered one thing clearly, and that was to kill this woman after taking away her chastity. ‘Kill her!’ There was a voice endlessly repeating this order in his mind.

He was only one step away. In five years, he would be able to obtain everything he wanted!

“Go to hell!” The man’s eyes were bloodshot. He raised the dagger on the bedside table and waved it at Cadence’s chest violently.

At this moment, Cadence suddenly came back to her senses. “No! I’m not Melody! Don’t do that! Ah!”

Cadence screamed and dodged as the dagger stabbed into the spot where she had been lying.

Her heart had never beat so fast before. She could no longer care about the fact that she was naked and used all her strength to run towards the door.

At this moment, there were shouts and banging sounds at the door. “Miss Hunter, open the door!”

Cadence’s eyes lit up as she sped up and ran towards the door. Just as she was about to reach it, she suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground. However, the expected pain did not come. She looked down and found that she had fallen onto something soft, which was her subordinate, still unconscious.

Cadence cursed in her heart and quickly got up from the ground to continue running.

But before she could get up, the bald man was already in front of her, holding the cold dagger in his hand.

“No!” Cadence’s eyes widened in fear. Then, she gritted her teeth and grabbed her subordinate before the edge of the dagger arrived.

In an instant, her bodyguard’s chest was pierced through, and the stink of blood instantly spread in the air.

“Ah…” Cadence was so scared that her whole body was trembling. She tried to stand up, but her feet were motionless.

“Don’t come to me! I’m not Melody!” She shouted and scrambled towards the door.

However, her efforts were in vain because her ankle was grabbed tightly by the bald man.

She immediately kicked him violently with her other foot, but the bald man did not feel any pain. Instead, his eyes flickered with excitement. ‘Kill her!’

If he killed her, his mission would be completed. Then he would take revenge on her wife and the man who had cheated on him.

“Go to hell!” He was screaming out loud.

Finally, at this moment, the people outside bumped the door down. However, there was already a man and a woman lying in blood. Only the bald man was left holding a dagger and laughing.

Everything was too late.

At the same time, such a brutal and bloody scene was completely recorded by the camera. The customers in the restaurant were either vomiting or had already fainted from fear. Some timid ones had already run out when the bald man picked up the knife.

Melody looked expressionlessly at Mabel, who was standing in the corner.

Mabel’s mental fortitude was stronger than she had imagined. Although her eyes were filled with shock, there was no fear at all.

Melody could not be bothered to pay attention to her anymore and found Ruby vomiting in the crowd. “Ruby.”

She held Ruby’s arm and took out a pill for her. “This works. It has no effect on the baby.”

Ruby nodded with a pale face. Then she took the pill in with absolute trust. Instantly, a faint taste of bitterness instantly spread in her mouth. The moment she swallowed the pill, she felt much better.

“Let’s go.” Melody used her body to block Ruby’s sight so that she did not have to see the scene on the screen again.

“Hmm…” Ruby had a lot of questions to ask, but she really did not want to see this gross scene. She just remained silent and nodded slightly. With the help of Melody and the bodyguards, she walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.

“Stop right there!” When Mabel saw that they were about to leave, she reflexively walked forward and blocked their way.

Melody gave her a deep look. “What? You want me to stay and explain to the police what happened with you?”

Mabel took a deep breath. After glaring at Melody, she turned around and left the restaurant first.

Melody sneered in her heart. She knew that Mabel would not dare to get herself involved.

She turned her head indifferently and glanced at the screen one last time. In the footage, Cadence’s blood was gushing out. There should be no more chance for her survival anymore.

Melody retracted her gaze and left the restaurant with Ruby.

As soon as the two of them got into the car, Ruby asked impatiently, “Melody, are you alright? You were also on the second floor at that time. Are you injured? What’s going on?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. As for the things upstairs, I don’t know what’s going on either. But it should be Cadence’s enemies coming for her.” Melody answered. The fewer people involved in this kind of murder, the better it would be. Knowing too much wouldn’t do Ruby any good, so she didn’t plan to tell her the truth.

Soon, they arrived at Ruby’s house.

Melody promised that she would stay here with her for the night.

Chapter 567

Melody would never go back on her word and still calmly helped Ruby out of the car as if nothing had happened.

“So scary…” Ruby pointed at her phone and said, “The news is out. Cadence is no longer alive.”

When Melody heard this, her eyes lit up and she turned to check it. The news reported that there was a murder in the most famous Floassian restaurant in Silverlake. When the police arrived, the two victims had already been confirmed dead.

There was a flash of light in her eyes for a moment, but it passed soon. In her previous life, Cadence joined forces with Ulric and tricked her into going to the hospital to dig out her heart. In this life, including that hound incident, this was the second time that Cadence had tried to kill her. Such a vicious person indeed deserved this ending.

Melody could not be soft-hearted. Or she would be the only one who had died.

Ruby did not notice the change in Melody’s gaze and her hands were still trembling.

She tried her best to calm down when holding Melody’s arm and said in a hoarse voice, “I still can’t believe it. She has talked to us, but she is dead. now. Melody, do you think she can still be saved?”

Melody shook her head. “No.”

Considering the huge amount of blood loss, Cadence couldn’t wait for the medical staff to arrive. Although Sid was also stabbed, the two of them were injured in different places.

Cadence was injured in a major artery and that meant a narrow chance of survival even if Melody came upstairs to save her at that moment, not to mention that she would never do such a stupid kind thing.

After the two of them entered, Melody asked the servant to pour a cup of hot water for Ruby.

After drinking, Ruby’s trembling hands gradually calmed down. “Silverlake is really too dangerous.” She sighed. “Maybe I should go back to Insterimond for my baby. After all, the Taylor family’s headquarters is there and it’s safer. Melody, do you have any thoughts about going to Insterimond to develop? If you want to go, I can arrange it for you immediately.”

“Insterimond…” Melody could not help but fall into deep thought.

That was her mother’s hometown. However, the Brewer family did not agree to Wilona marrying Russell, so they threatened to sever ties with her. But in the end, Wilona still married Russell, so the two families had no contact since then. She wondered if her mother would regret severing ties with her family.

Melody took a deep breath and said, “I don’t think so for the time being, but I’ll take an exam there in a while.”

Ruby could not help but feel a sense of regret. However, she couldn’t force Melody. Ruby could only follow Melody’s wishes and ask, “What exam?”

“I can’t explain it clearly now. A friend of mine advised me to do it.” Melody paused and said, “For you, Silverlake is indeed not as safe as Insterimond. If you want to go back, just hurry up. I’ll come to see you when I’m free.”

“Really?” Ruby was pleasantly surprised. She took her hand gratefully and said, “Thank you, Melody.”

“You’re welcome. I also quite love your child and always believed there is something special between us.” As Melody spoke, she suddenly felt dizzy because the drug that Cadence had given her had not been completely detoxified.

Realizing this, Melody said, “Ruby, I’m a little tired today. Can I go to my room to rest? I’ll recover after lying down for about ten minutes.”

“Of course! I’ve already asked the maid to make a room for you. The sheets are all new. I’ll take you there.”

Ruby quickly got up and brought her to the guest room. Just as she had said, the room was spotless and brand new, and she even prepared a fitting change of clothes. “Have a good break. When you’re better, I’ll get the chef to cook a few more dishes. You should be as hungry as I am.”

Melody nodded. After watching Ruby leave, she lay on the bed and began to perform acupuncture on herself.

In the restaurant, the situation was urgent and the poison did not have time to be completely removed. Now, another round would almost solve the problem. After disinfecting a few slender silver needles, she pushed them into a few acupoints in her body. She closed her eyes and quietly waited for the poison to be removed.

At the same time, Ruby was instructing the chef in the living room. “Yes, buy some food. But don’t make them too greasy. The bland food is better for her skin. Also, don’t buy seafood or anything stimulating. Then buy a few coconuts. Coconut juice is good for the skin.”

She instructed in detail and her words were full of concern for Melody.

All the servants in the house secretly reminded themselves not to neglect the ugly woman in the guest room.

At this moment, a bodyguard entered and reported. “Mrs. Taylor, there’s someone outside looking for Miss Fox.”

“Looking for Melody? Who is it?” Ruby asked.

The bodyguard looked like he didn’t dare to say his full name. He shrank his neck and said, “Mr. Swanson.”

Ruby raised her eyelids and revealed a smile while feeling surprised.

It seemed that Mason was right. The demonic Mr. Swanson was really engaged to Melody and seemed to care about her, or he would not have come to their house. This man must have spent a lot of effort.

All the people in Silverlake said that this young man was scary, but because of Mason, she had once met Ken at a banquet. His words and actions made her feel that those rumors might not be true.

Most importantly, she trusted Melody’s judgment. Since Melody agreed to marry Ken, it meant that he was not a bad man.

Ruby suppressed the smile on her face and walked out. When she walked out of the door, she noticed Ken’s anxious expression, completely different from the cold man she had seen before. ‘Is this the power of love?’

The last trace of fear in Ruby’s heart towards Ken dissipated. She finally could not suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. “Mr. Swanson, you’re here. We didn’t wait until you showed up at the restaurant back then. I thought you didn’t care about our Melody.”

Ken was anxious to find Melody. When he heard this and knew that Melody was in Ruby’s house, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Wendell would not do anything to retaliate against Melody here because the Taylor family had excellent security.

However, he also sensed something weird and could not help but ask in shock, “What do you mean by not waiting until I show up?”

Ruby was stunned for a moment before asking, “I called Miss Murphy to

tell her that Melody was in trouble and asked you to help. Didn’t she tell you? Then how did you find this place?”

Ruby’s head was full of questions, but Ken’s hands by his sides subconsciously clenched into fists.

Chapter 568

As Ken clenched his fists, a dark glint appeared in his eyes. Jane was really refreshing his impression of her again and again. However, it was not the time to expose her yet.

Thinking of this, Ken suppressed the anger in his heart and shook his head. “No, she told me. I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”

“Oh, I see.” Ruby was so naive that she did not feel that anything was wrong. “Mr. Swanson, please. Come in. Melody is resting now. She said she would rest for ten minutes.”

“Ten minutes?” Ken keenly sensed that something was wrong.

After seeing Ruby lead him to a room, he immediately stopped. “Mrs. Taylor, if she wants to rest, don’t disturb her. If you don’t mind, I’ll wait for her in the living room.”

“Alright.” Ruby nodded.

The two of them chatted casually as they waited in the living room. However, from Ruby’s words, he had already confirmed that Ruby was not dangerous to Melody. Then his eyes were not that cold when looking at Ruby.

At this moment, the door of the guest room on the first floor opened.

Melody looked up and saw Ken sitting upright on the sofa. Se even suspected that the poison in her body had not been purged. Otherwise, why would she see Ken in Ruby’s house?

However, in the next moment, Ken was already walking towards her. Only then did Melody realize that this was not an illusion.

“Why are you here?” Her eyes were filled with surprise, but she quickly understood. It must have been those “eyes” planted around her by Ken. She really had no privacy at all.

However, what Melody did not know was that as soon as the incident happened, Ken was informed about the situation in the restaurant. Then, he sent his men to clean up the aftermath for Melody, including the death warriors.

He had found Ruby’s house purely based on his intuition. Ken did not answer Melody’s question and frowned. “Your phone is turned off.”

Puzzled, Melody took out her phone and realized that her phone had run out of battery. “Sorry.”

Ken’s expression did not soften much. He said

expressionlessly, “Let’s talk when we get back.” As soon as he finished speaking, he naturally grabbed Melody’s hand. Melody was shocked. She resisted and took her hand back. “I promised Ruby that I would stay with her tonight.”

“Oh?” Ken turned to look at Ruby.

Ruby felt a chill on her back as if a gust of cold wind was blowing at her. She instantly shivered and said almost reflexively, “Melody, I suddenly remembered that I’ve already asked another friend of mine to stay here, so you… Why don’t you go back with Mr. Swanson?”

Before Melody could say anything, Ken grabbed her hand again. “Did you hear that? Don’t cause trouble for Mrs. Taylor.” With that, he pulled her out, not giving her a chance to resist.

Soon, Melody was brought to the car. Ken directly raised the partition in the car, isolating the back seat from the front seat. Then, he reached out and pulled her to take a closer look.

“What are you doing?” Melody subconsciously shrank her neck.

“I’m checking to see if you’re injured anywhere,” Ken said solemnly.

“I’m fine. If something had really happened to me, Seventeen would have told you long ago.” Melody lowered her head.

“There were times when he failed,” Ken said coldly.

“I’m really not injured…” Melody wanted to retort, but she suddenly felt a chill in her lower abdomen when Ken lifted the corner of her clothes.

“You…” She was about to speak, but Ken’s face was as cold as ice. His gaze was fixed on her abdomen.

Melody followed Ken’s gaze and saw a large bruise on her stomach. She remembered that the moment she lost consciousness, Cadence seemed to have kicked her.

No wonder she kept feeling a dull pain in her abdomen. She thought that her period was coming soon, but she didn’t expect it to be caused by external injuries.

“You call this uninjured?” Ken’s tone sounded icy.

Melody subconsciously shrank her neck and said guiltily, “I-I didn’t realize…”

Ken’s eyes darkened.

Melody did not know why, but she instinctively explained, “Because it doesn’t hurt, I didn’t notice it at all. I didn’t lie to you on purpose.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ken pressed her stomach mercilessly with his rough fingers. His force was light, but the pain was incomparably deep and clear.

“Hiss!” She subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. ‘It hurts!’

She glared at Ken, only to see Ken’s stern expression as if he was saying “You deserved it!”

“I thought it didn’t hurt.” He raised his chin.

“You-” Just as she was about to scold him, Ken had already lowered the partition in the car and ordered the driver coldly, “To the hospital.”

“Got it,” the driver immediately responded and turned the car around to drive to the nearest hospital.

“I’m fine. I don’t need to go to the hospital,” Melody said. As a doctor, she knew that there was nothing wrong with her body. Going to the hospital would only waste time and resources.

Ken glanced at her expressionlessly, looking like he was going to press her stomach again.

Melody covered her stomach with lingering fear. ‘Forget it, just do a checkup.’

Seeing that she was finally willing to cooperate, Ken’s expression softened a little. He got down to business and said, “Wendell’s current state is no different from madness. He’s spreading that you’re the murderer.”

Melody nodded without surprise and said, “He knows that Cadence’s plans were targeted at me. He must have guessed that I have made some countermeasures. But don’t worry, I’ve already tampered with the surveillance cameras. The police can only see several specific scenes. I’ve connected them very seriously. They can’t find me.”

Ken glanced at her. “The surveillance footage is done. Then what about the fingerprints you left in that room?”

Melody’s expression stiffened. “Everyone can see that it was the bald man who attacked Cadence. Even if there are traces of me now, they can’t convict me.”

“But Wendell will never let go of any chance to accuse you. You will be thoroughly investigated by the police.” Ken reminded her.

Melody pursed her lips. “I’m already prepared to be investigated.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Melody realized something. Wendell had gone mad, so the police should have already found her by now, but the fact was the opposite.

Melody looked at Ken in shock. “You helped me get rid of those traces?”

“Or how would it take so long for me to find you at Ruby’s place?” Ken revealed a faintly proud smile.

Under such circumstances, Ken was still able to clean up all the remaining traces for her. His ability completely exceeded her expectations because this was something she could not do either.

“Thank…” She knew that Ken did not like her thanking him, so she changed her words, “You did a great job.”

“Since you know that I’ve done a great job, don’t let my hard work go to waste. Just do the checkup.”

Chapter 569

Ken’s tone was so unquestionable.

In just an hour, he felt like he was on a roller coaster. The moment he found out that Melody had trouble, it was undeniable that he was more anxious and upset than when he found out that something had happened to Sid. He ran the red light all the way to the restaurant. Fortunately, the end result was good and no one could slander her.

Melody had no idea what kind of emotional earthquake Ken had experienced. She just lowered her eyes and nodded. “Got it…”

Ken looked at her deeply. He did not intend to tell Melody about that. “Tell me what happened in the room.”

Then Melody explained everything in detail. Ken’s expression did not change, but the light in his eyes became darker and cruel.

“What’s wrong with you? You knew it was a trap, so why did you still follow her upstairs.” Ken asked with surging emotions.

“What can I do?” Melody was helpless. “If I don’t go, Cadence would say I’m a heinous sister. Moreover, if I don’t get rid of her completely this time, there will be a next time. Like now, peace forever.”

Ken snorted from the tip of his nose. “Let’s see how Wendell will leave you in peace!”

Melody shrugged nonchalantly. “We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. If Wendell wants to deal with me, I have to be prepared to become the second Cadence.”

She was not boasting. Wendell alone could not do anything to her unless Ulric moved again. However, it was impossible to avoid these things. She might as well face the challenge head-on. Running away was not her style. She was no longer the overcautious version of herself before her rebirth.

Ken gave her a warning glare and said in a commanding tone, “You can’t leave my sight for the time being.”

“I-” She was about to refuse when the driver reminded her, “Mr. Swanson, Miss Fox, we’ve arrived at the hospital.”

Melody looked up. It was the rival of the hospital she worked at, Silverlake Hospital

However, it did not matter where she did the checkup. After all, it seemed impolite and annoying to keep going to Central Hospital and seeking help from Rodney.

At the thought of this, Melody could not care less about what Ken said for the time being. She opened the door and got out, prepared to end this quickly before going back to make a plan to deal with what Wendell might do.

As soon as Melody got off, Ken followed closely behind.

The two of them quickly arrived at the emergency department. After a round of examination, the doctor said, “It’s nothing serious. Her internal organs have been not injured. The bruises will slowly dissipate.”

Melody already knew that this would be the case. Just as she was about to get up and leave, Ken pressed her back into her chair.

She looked at Ken in confusion, who frowned and said to the doctor, “You just pressed her body a few times. How do you know that there’s no injury inside? Let’s give her an ultrasound or CT scan.”

“She really doesn’t need it.” As soon as the doctor finished speaking, his body trembled when he met Ken’s cold gaze. “You’re right. It’s better for us to use the machine for a high-precision checkup.”

Ken raised his eyebrows. “Then write the checklist.”

The doctor immediately prescribed two checklists.

Melody looked helpless. “Ken, I really…”

“What?” His eyes were full of warning.

Melody shook her head. “It’s fine. I’ll go for a checkup. Wait for me here.”

With that, she walked out and cursed in her heart. ‘What’s wrong with you? Why could a man be so annoying? If my mother was alive, she wouldn’t even be so troublesome.’

However, even though she was complaining, there seemed to be a sweet spring gushing out from the depths of her heart with a pure sweetness. It was undeniable that Ken’s concern made her happy.

Realizing this, Melody immediately reached out and patted her face. “Melody, wake up!”

She took a deep breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a white figure flash past. Her expression did not change at all. She took the checklists and walked towards the ultrasound room.

However, just as Melody turned the corner, the white figure hid behind a green plant that was as tall as a person, staring at her back. It was not until Melody’s figure completely disappeared that the person heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s really Melody. Damn it, she almost saw me…”

The woman patted her chest in relief. But the next second, a hand was on her shoulder.

“Ah!” This woman screamed in shock.

That person was also shocked by the scream, and took a step back and asked, “Dr. Knowles, what’s wrong?”

Regina, who was pretending to be Wilona Knowles, realized that it was a young nurse from the hospital. She heaved a sigh of relief and explained awkwardly, “I’m fine. I was shocked when you suddenly patted me.”

The nurse smiled apologetically and asked, “What were you looking at just now? I saw you hiding behind here. Did you see the director?”

“Director?” Regina tilted her head.

“Yes…” The nurse smiled and said, “The director must admire you too much. I’ve seen him secretly paying attention to you a few times. However, his fanaticism is indeed kind of too much, right?”

Regina’s heart skipped a beat and she asked nervously, “You said that he’s always secretly watching me?”

“That’s right, especially when you’re on duty in the emergency department. I think he might want to learn from you.” The nurse laughed uncontrollably.

However, Regina broke out in a cold sweat when she heard that. The dean must have suspected her and maybe this was why he handed his wife’s surgery to her.

‘Isn’t he afraid that he will lose his wife? Damn it!’ Regina’s heart was filled with hatred and panic but she did not show them on her face

Regina forced a smile and said, “Yes, the director is indeed funny. Well… I’ll go get busy first. I’ll get off work after one last ward round.”

“Okay.” The nurse did not dare to waste any more time and quickly left with the medical record.

Regina finally gritted her teeth as she watched the nurse leave.

It was so ridiculous that her mother forced her to pretend to be Dr. Knowles and claimed that this would allow her to improve. It should be pushing her into the abyss of danger.

Fortunately, Melody did not notice her just now. Otherwise, she would not have to wait for the surgery tomorrow and her identity would have been exposed now.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and dodged in time.

However, Regina did not see that the person who frightened her was right standing behind a wall and looking at her.

“Regina? Dr. Knowles?” She thought that she probably knew who was the impostor.

‘That’s interesting.’ Melody slowly curled her lips into a sly smile.

Chapter 570

Melody did not stay. Instead, she quietly followed the young nurse. After confirming that Regina would not come this way, Melody immediately quickened her pace and stopped that nurse. “Um, hello…”

The nurse stopped in her tracks and was secretly shocked when she saw the red spots on Melody’s terrifying face. However, as a nurse, she had seen numerous bloody scenes, let alone an ugly face.

She calmed down and squeezed out a smile. “What’s the matter?”

“It’s like this… I heard that an excellent doctor called Dr. Knowles came to your hospital. I wonder if she has any appointments tomorrow. I want to bring a friend of mine to see her.”

The nurse said apologetically, “Dr. Knowles is going to operate on the director’s wife tomorrow, so she won’t be working at the outpatient clinic. You can make an appointment with her on your phone so that you won’t miss it.”

“The director’s wife’s surgery? What illness does she have?” Melody asked.

“Well…” The nurses paused.

When Melody saw the young nurse hesitate, she immediately smiled and said, “Don’t misunderstand. I know your director’s wife, so I asked. It doesn’t matter if it’s inconvenient.”

“So you two know each other. It’s not serious, just a hip replacement surgery. However, because the hospital director’s wife is older and has other chronic illnesses, this surgery is relatively more difficult. However, with Dr. Knowles around, there will definitely be no problem.” The nurse’s words revealed her trust in Dr. Knowles’s medical skills.

Melody smiled and nodded. “Yes, the surgery will definitely be completed successfully. I wonder when the surgery will be. I’ll come and see her then.”

“At ten o’clock in the morning. The surgery will take about two hours,” the nurse answered.

“Alright, I got it. Thank you.” Melody waved her hand and turned to leave.

She was worried that malicious doctors’ clues would stop, but Regina came at the right time. She and her mother had disappeared for so long, but it turned out that they had changed their names.

Then Melody quickened her pace to finish the two checkups. Soon, the medical report was out.

The doctor said, “Miss Fox, the CT scan and ultrasound show that your abdomen is normal. There are no injuries or bleeding inside. I’ll prescribe some ointment. Apply it and rub your abdomen for a while every day. The bruises should disappear in three days.”

“Thank you.” Melody was afraid that Ken would find fault again, so she took the prescription and pulled him out quickly.

Ken lowered his eyes and glanced at the two of them holding hands. His thin lips parted, and there was a hint of doting in his eyes. ‘This girl…’

As soon as the two of them got into the car, Melody immediately told Ken that she had bumped into Regina impersonating her.

Ken was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.

She couldn’t hear what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Ken’s expression suddenly became even colder and more solemn than usual.

“I understand. Keep a close eye on her movements.” As soon as he finished speaking, Ken cut off the call and looked at the curious Melody. “It’s from the person I planted beside Ulric. The woman who treated Ulric’s leg illness is called Jennie Taylor.”

Melody’s eyes widened. “Jennie!”

It was Regina’s mother.

She clenched her fists and said, “Looks like we have to deal with Regina tomorrow. Once Jennie cures Ulric’s legs, the consequences will be serious.”

Ken had the same idea. He nodded and said, “Jennie is now living in the place arranged by Ulric. The security nearby is very tight. We can’t go to catch her rashly. o her daughter is the key.”

“Well, she’s coming to the hospital tomorrow to operate on the director’s wife. I’ll find the right moment and arrest her for probable cause.” Melody nodded.

Ken’s gaze landed on her abdomen. “Are you feeling well? You’ve been busy all day.”

“I’m fine,” Melody said firmly. “This concerns malicious doctors. I don’t trust anyone else to handle it.”

“Alright, I’ll cooperate with you the entire time at the entrance of the hospital. But for now, let’s eat first.” He got a food box from somewhere and opened it on the spacious table in the car.

Melody looked down and realized that they were all her favorite dishes. “When… did you get someone to cook these?”

“When you were doing the checkup,” Ken said casually.

“Thank you, let’s eat together.” She picked up some food for him.

Ken didn’t refuse. He had been busy all day, and this was the first taste of food other than breakfast today.

However, even though his stomach had become a little sore from not eating for a long time, his eating posture still carried the elegance of an aristocrat. It was a stark contrast to Melody, who was devouring.

Melody realized that she looked kind of rude and subconsciously slowed down.

However, Ken said, “Don’t worry about that. Eat your food. Your table manners are very cute.”

The corners of Melody’s mouth twitched stiffly. Clearly, she did not take Ken’s words seriously.

With her current face, if Ken didn’t feel disgusted when eating with her, it could be said that his mental fortitude was extremely strong.

Just as Melody was considering whether to turn around and eat, there was a knock on the car window. She quickly put down the food and looked out of the window warily. Seeing that it was the death warrior Seventeen, she felt relieved.

However, she was still a little curious about where he went when she and Ruby left the restaurant.

Ken gave her a look that told her to continue eating. He reached out and lowered the car window.

Seventeen did not see Melody sitting on the other side of the window. He thought that there was only Ken in the car.

After calling out “Mr. Swanson” respectfully, Seventeen went straight to the point. “Everything has been settled. There won’t be any fingerprints left at the scene.

“As for Wendell, we’ve already revealed it to him. Now he knows that you’ve obtained evidence that Cadence attempted to frame Miss Fox. He definitely won’t dare to mention Miss Fox to the police again. And it was useless even if he continued to make a scene because he did not have any evidence.

“At the same time, the past scandals of Cadence have been posted online, including some dirty things that Wendell did. I’m afraid he is busy enough with himself…”

Seventeen reported everything in detail. Every word he said was heard by Melody.

So Ken handled so many things for her without her knowing.

Initially, she thought that he would at most get rid of the fingerprints in the room. ‘But now that he has done so much for me, why did he just casually mention it?’ she wondered.

The sweet feeling in her heart surged again. Melody tried her best to calm her heartbeat by pressing a specific acupoint.
