Chapter 766
Melody was afraid that she would embarrass Dorrene Downey by staying here. After all, she was not close enough to look at Dorrene Downey’s scars honestly.
She quickly found an excuse and said, “You guys chat. I still have something to do at Herbathrive. I’ll leave first.”
“I’ll send you off…” Dorrene Downey quickly stood up, but Melody held her down by the shoulders.
“Don’t send me off. I know the way, Just cooperate with the lawyer and treat me to a meal the day you get your divorce certificate.”
Dorrene Downey nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with gratitude.
***
Not long after Melody left the Wallrich family, Ken Swanson called.
“Where are you?”
“I just came out of Dorrene Downey’s house. What time will I set off for Lincheng?”
“I’ve bought you two tickets. You can get Aaron Berg to take you to the airport now. On this trip, Aaron Berg and Spencer will follow you. Those bodyguards in the dark will also take the same plane as you. As for James Deeds, he’s already in Lincheng. He’ll meet you as soon as you get off the plane.”
“Alright, I’ll go to the airport now.”
“Okay, be careful. Shi Luo’s matter comes second. Your safety comes first. Do you understand?”
“Got it. You’re more naggy than a woman.” Melody looked at Ken Swanson with disdain, but there was a hint of sweetness in his heart.
“Call me when you get to Lincheng.”
“Okay.”
Melody hung up the phone and looked up to instruct Spencer, who was in charge of driving.
“To Airport Silverlake.”
“Yes, Miss Fox!”
After the two hours, Melody boarded the plane to Lincheng.
On the way, she flipped through Shi Luo’s information again.
Shi Luo did not have any other hobbies. His only hobbies were similar to Sid Quant’s. He liked to keep changing female companions.
Saying that they were female companions was actually just a nicer way of putting it. They didn’t even have a status. After Shi Luo got tired of sleeping with them, they would be kicked out of course, they would also give considerable compensation to the service of the person who was kicked out. Melody pointed at the information and asked Aaron Berg beside her in a low voice.
“Who’s his current female companion?”
Aaron Berg tried his best to recall. Two seconds later, he said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Fox. I forgot her name all of a sudden. There’s no signal on the plane. I’ll help you check after we land. But I remember that his new female companion seems to be an artist.”
“An artist…” Melody nodded. “Alright, I understand. Send me the artist’s information when we land later.”
She was confident of winning over Shi Luo because this person was very important to Ken Swanson. Therefore, she had to know her enemy to ensure that she would be invincible.
The plane passed through layers of clouds and landed at Lincheng Airport after four hours.
Originally, they could have landed earlier, but it happened to be raining heavily in Lincheng. The plane circled for a full go-around before landing.
The moment they landed, the passengers in the cabin heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s so scary. The airflow is too bumpy today. I’ve already started writing my will on the plane.”
“Me too. I wrote down all my bank card passwords in my phone memo.”
The first-class passengers got off first, but there was still a lot of noise and chatter.
Just then, Melody heard a passenger behind her say in a low voice, “Actually, I didn’t pay much attention to the plane. My attention was on the first row.”
“Ah? Is there a handsome guy in the first row? You’re not even afraid of death…”
“What’s there to be afraid of? The probability of a plane crash is the lowest among all traffic. Also, the person in the first row isn’t a handsome man. It’s Yana Norangel.”
“Yana Norangel? The green coffee who was forced to leave the industry because of the company’s junior?”
“Yes, I didn’t see wrongly. It must be her!”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? Now that she’s off the plane, I’ll definitely go over and spit on her.”
“Come on, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Her remaining brainless fans can still drown you with their spit.” “Tsk…”
Melody listened to the low discussion behind her and slowly frowned.
Yana Norangel?
She did not expect to bump into her in Lin City and even take the same plane.
Could it be that she could no longer survive in Silverlake, so she came to a third-tier city like Lin City?
Speaking of which, it was indeed a livable city by the sea, provided that there was enough money.
Although Lin City was only a third-tier city, the tourism industry was developing very well. Real estate was doing very well, and the price of goods was comparable to Silverlake. The property price was no different from Silverlake.
This was especially true for the better sea-view houses.
They could not be bought without eight figures.
Of course, it was also because of this that the Swanson Group set up a branch here.
Shi Luo had also come here for a new property project in the branch company.
However, just as Melody thought that the same plane as Yana Norangel was just a coincidence, Aaron Berg suddenly whispered, “Miss Fox, I found out what you asked on the plane.”
“Shi Luo’s date?”
“Yes, her name is Yana Norangel. She’s the enemy of Miss Wentworth who’s very close to you…”
“Of course, I remember her,” Melody sighed heavily. Not only did he remember it, but he also knew it very well. However, she did not expect Yana Norangel to be able to cozy up to Shi Luo after leaving the industry.
Shi Luo was the Swanson Group’s youngest and most promising executive in the headquarters. If Yana Norangel could marry him, her future would not have to wait in the entertainment industry.
To Yana Norangel, marrying a rich man was her goal rather than entering the entertainment industry.
However, it was troublesome for her.
With Yana Norangel present, many things were not as convenient. She hated her as much as she hated Zara Wentworth. She would definitely think of a way to stop her from roping in Shi Luo.
Melody rubbed her temples and said, “Let’s meet James Deeds first.”
“Yes.”
The two of them arrived on the same day, so they didn’t need to pick up their luggage and walked straight to the airport exit.
Not long after, Melody saw James Deeds waiting outside.
“Miss Fox!” James Deeds waved his hand and ran over to whisper, “I have bad news for you. Yana Norangel has also arrived in Lin City. She is Shi Luo’s new female companion.”
Melody smiled bitterly and said, “I know. I was just about to tell you that I’m on the same plane as her.”
“Then what should we do now?” A cold glint flashed across James Deeds’s eyes. He lowered his voice and asked, Before she sees Shilo, should we get rid of her first?”
Melody was about to speak when she saw a car slowly driving past her from the corner of her eye.
She shook her head and said, “It’s too late.”
“Why?”
As soon as James Deeds finished speaking, he saw the car driving past them.
The back window of the car was wide open, and Yana Norangel and Shi Luo were sitting inside. Yana Norangel leaned on Shi Luo’s shoulder like a little bird, looking like she wanted to crawl into his arms.
Chapter 767
Fortunately, the two of them did not see them. They were immersed in each other’s love, looking like a young couple in love.
James Deeds’s expression turned ugly.
“This guy Shi Luo… He’s already in a situation like this, yet he’s still in the mood to play with women.”
“What else could it be?” Melody raised her eyebrows and said, “It’s precisely because of the pressure that a woman like Yana Norangel is needed to relieve the pressure, isn’t it?”
Not to mention anything else, Yana Norangel must be a very qualified “female companion.”
She had an exquisite figure and was good at coaxing men. Moreover, from the way the two of them acted just now, Yana Norangel was clearly very proficient in being a female companion.
It was not surprising at all that she could pull Shi Luo up.
“Only someone with Shi Luo’s taste would fall for Yana Norangel.”
Melody shook her head. “Then you’re wrong again. Shi Luo wants a female companion, not a wife. Isn’t Yana Norangel the best choice? After all, not long ago, she was also a Top 1 female artiste.”
James Deeds had nothing to say. He could only ask, “Then what should we do now?”
Melody thought for a moment and said, “Shi Luo is here on a business trip. He can’t keep Yana Norangel with him all the time. When Yana Norangel isn’t with him, we’ll create another opportunity to meet him.”
“Then do you need me to take advantage of the fact that Shi Luo is not with Yana Norangel…” James Deeds said as he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Melody quickly shook her head.
“No. Yana Norangel’s popularity hasn’t passed yet. Her every move might be watched by the paparazzi so that they can squeeze out the last of her value. And even if you do it flawlessly and no one finds out, Shi Luo will definitely suspect us, so we can’t take the risk. We can only avoid Yana Norangel.”
“That’s the only way…”
James Deeds scratched his neck in frustration. He hated himself for not investigating that Shi Luo’s female companion was Yana Norangel.
Melody could tell that James Deeds was blaming himself. She comforted him and said, “Don’t think too much about it. I also checked it when I came out just now. Yana Norangel only latched onto Shilo last night. You and Aaron Berg have already discovered it fast.”
James Deeds pursed his lips and realized that he could not smile at all.
He knew Shi Luo’s importance better than Melody. Taking down Shi Luo was equivalent to taking down a large number of neutral upper echelons in the headquarters. The young master would be like a tiger with wings.
If he failed… it would be no different from pushing Shi Luo closer to Ulric Swanson.
“Don’t think too much. Let’s find a place to eat lunch first.”
Melody interrupted James Deeds’s thoughts and said, ” I’ve already thought of a good solution.”
James Deeds’s eyes instantly lit up.
“What’s the good idea?”
“We’ll talk after lunch. You’re in charge of finding a restaurant. Pick the one closest to the hotel. After lunch, we’ll go back to the hotel to discuss serious matters.”
Melody Fox sat in the car that James Deeds had prepared in advance. He took out his phone and dialed Ken Swanson’s number.
Ken Swanson already knew about Yana Norangel. His tone was heavy.
“Just do your best. If you really can’t do it, forget it. It’s not necessary to rope in Shi Luo. Don’t give yourself too much pressure.”
“I know. I’ll do my best. It’s just that I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back today. My plan won’t be implemented until tomorrow. There’s a lot to prepare.”
“What plan?”
“You’ll know when it’s planned thoroughly. It’s quite melodramatic, but it should be quite effective.”
Melody kept him in suspense. Ken Swanson was very curious, but he cooperated and did not ask further. He only said, “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
After the call ended, Melody suddenly missed Ken Swanson.
They had only not seen each other for a couple of hours. Why did it feel like a year had passed?
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Melody actually felt like she was in a dream.
Before Ken Swanson confessed to her, she never thought that Ken Swanson’s feelings for her were even stronger than hers…
She couldn’t help but touch her face.
Her fingers felt uneven.
I really don’t know… How did Ken Swanson fall in love with me? I’m so ugly now.
For some reason, after confirming her feelings with Ken Swanson, she began to worry about recovering her appearance as soon as possible.
After experiencing the days of unrequited love, she clearly didn’t care much about her appearance.
It was probably a response to the saying, “A woman looks for the one she likes.”
She just did not know if the last herbs, the Taylor family would start auctioning.
She was looking forward to Ken Swanson’s reaction when he saw her true appearance.
They would be shocked, right?
When she returned, she had to contact Ruby and ask about special herbs.
In the blink of an eye, night fell.
Melody Fox and James Deeds arranged everything for tomorrow and returned to their hotel rooms.
They were opposite the hotel where Shi Luo was staying. They chose this hotel to facilitate the surveillance of Shi Luo in time, but they did not have to encounter Yana Norangel.
However, to Melody Fox’s surprise, when the door opened, a tall figure stood inside.
The man had his back to her and was watching the traffic outside the French windows.
She recognized him immediately.
It was none other than Ken Swanson!
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ken Swanson also turned around, his eyes filled with smiles.
“I brought you some of your favorite dishes from Blue Moon Lounge. They’re still warm.”
Melody was stunned for a few seconds before she said in disbelief, “Ken Swanson?? Why are you here?!”
As Ken Swanson pulled her to the table where the food box was placed, he said, “Didn’t you say that James Deeds’s restaurant selection is very poor? Don’t you think lunch is not good?”
“Then, you don’t have to send Silverlake’s food directly…. What time did depart in Silverlake? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Aren’t you tired? What did you depart?”
The smile in Ken Swanson’s eyes deepened.
“There are so many questions. I don’t know which to answer first.”
Melody’s eyes were red. She was both touched and worried.
“Don’t act on your own in the future. You’ve clearly been busy for the entire day. Why are you doing this?”
“It’s trouble if you don’t come over.”
Ken Swanson opened his arms and hugged her. “I’m used to sleeping with you. I can’t sleep without you. Instead of losing sleep all night, I might as well fly over and sleep with you.”
“You… really…”
She really didn’t know what to say about him.
He was clearly an outstanding graduate from a first-rate international university, and his IQ was even higher than ordinary people.
He was smart. however, a smart person would not do such a thing.
“Alright, stop talking. Let’s eat first. If we don’t eat now, it will really get cold.”
Ken Swanson let go of her and personally opened the food box for her.
“Initially, I wanted to cook for you personally, but I thought that since your culinary skills are so good, it’s better for me not to embarrass myself, so I asked Blue Moon Lounge to make a few of your favorite dishes.”
When the food box was opened, it was indeed still hot.
There were a total of five dishes inside, and the main dish was her favorite beef soup.
Unfortunately, the beef soup had already turned into water, but it did not stop Melody from eating it all.
Chapter 768
The dishes in Lin City were basically seafood. Melody didn’t like the smell of fish, so she didn’t eat much for dinner and lunch.
Therefore, in less than ten minutes, the dishes Ken Swanson brought were almost finished by Melody.
Ken Swanson actually brought a lot of food. Seeing how Melody ate so cleanly, he knew that this trip was not in vain.
If he hadn’t come, She might have lost weight by the time she returned to Silverlake. Melody’s weight was already on the light side. If she continued to lose weight, he didn’t know how much he would need to make up for.
Ken Swanson was very glad that he had specially flown over. The fatigue from the journey had already been swept away.
He did not have the self-awareness of a young master at all. Like a servant, he took the initiative to help Melody put away the food box and poured her a cup of hot coffee.
“Come and moisten your throat. You ate too quickly just now. Don’t choke on it.”
Melody waved her hand and half-slumped in her chair. I’m not drinking anymore. I can’t even drink a drop.”
“Then I’ll help you massage your stomach to help with digestion,” Ken Swanson said as he massaged Melody’s stomach.
Due to physical problems, girls were more likely to have a small stomach than boys. However, even though Melody was so full, there was no excess fat on her stomach. Ken Swanson could not help but say in confusion, “You clearly ate a lot too. Why are you still so thin? You can’t just eat without gaining weight.”
“Why? Do you think it’s a waste of food if I don’t grow fat?”
Ken Swanson pretended to glare at her.
“You don’t know how to appreciate kindness! I heard that people who only eat won’t gain weight. Perhaps it’s because their digestion isn’t good, so I mentioned it.”
“Don’t worry, I’m a doctor myself. Don’t you know that there’ s a problem with my digestion? My innocence is inherited. My mother…”
At the mention of Jiang Wilona, Melody’s good mood sank.
Ken Swanson observed Melody’s expression and knew that she was upset because of Jiang Wilona. Hence, he deliberately said in an extremely relaxed tone, “That’s true. Your mother was a beauty that was popular all over the world back then. She was famous for having a good figure. Even I have an impression of her.”
Melody did not want to bring negative emotions to Ken Swanson. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile and said, “Yes, it’s a pity that I didn’t inherit her looks.”
She paused and suddenly became curious about Ken Swanson’s thoughts about her face. She could not help but probe, “Aren’t you… afraid that after we announce our marriage, everyone will laugh at you because of my face?” Ken Swanson frowned. “Who cares what those superficial people are thinking?”
Melody lowered her eyes, but the expression in her eyes became even more complicated.
She did not care in the past, but after confirming her feelings with Ken Swanson… she became more and more concerned about this aspect.
Melody took a deep breath and changed the topic. ” Aren’t you very busy in the company these few days? What do you plan to do when you return?”
“Take the earliest flight tomorrow morning.”
Melody was shocked.
“You’re in such a hurry? Wouldn’t that be tiring?”
She thought that he could at least have lunch before leaving.
“There’s a morning meeting tomorrow morning. I can’t push it. And I can’t let anyone at the estate find out I’m not home.”
“But if you don’t go back for a night, how can they not notice?”
“I went back for a while and found a voice that sounded similar to mine to stay in my room. Then, I climbed over the wall and came out. Before I left, I specially told them that I was very busy today and that I would eat dinner in my room. I told them not to disturb me.”
..So, you still have to climb over the wall and return to the manor tomorrow morning?”
“Yeah.”
“You… Why do you have to do this?”
Ken Swanson rubbed her head.
“If I don’t come over, what if you’re hungry? Let’s go. It’s not easy for us to come out. Shall we walk around?”
“No, you should rest early. There’s an early flight tomorrow.”
“It’s not even seven o’clock yet. It won’t take long.” Ken Swanson held her hand and pulled her out without any explanation.
James Deeds had long known that Ken Swanson had come to Lincheng. He was waiting at the door when the two of them left.
When he saw Ken Swanson, James Deeds quickly went up to him.
“Young Master.”
“You stay here. I’ll go out with Melody.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Melody saw the lack of surprise on James Deeds’s face and knew that all of them knew that Ken Swanson was there. She was the last to know.
Melody could not help but glare at Ken Swanson again. Ken Swanson pretended to be innocent and smiled as he hugged her waist and walked out.
When the passersby saw the huge difference in their looks between Melody Fox and Ken Swanson, their eyes were filled with shock.
Melody acutely noticed the gazes of the others and subconsciously lowered her head.
“What’s wrong?” Ken Swanson asked in confusion, “Is there something on the ground? Keep your head down.”
“No…” Melody shook her head and asked, “Where are we going?”
“To Round Sand Island, I suppose? Have you ever been there?”
“No, but I’ve heard that Round Sand Island is closed to tourists after six o’clock at night. Only the residents of Round Sand Island can enter and leave the island.”
Round Sand Island was one of the most famous attractions in Lin City. It was a comprehensive island tourist area that combined sightseeing, shopping, leisure, and entertainment. It was across the sea from Lin City and could only be reached by boat.
However, in order not to affect the rest of the island’s natives, there was a rule that was not open to outsiders at six in the evening.
Ken Swanson smiled. “Who said we’re tourists?”
“Huh?”
Soon, Melody experienced what it meant to be rich and inhumane. With money, she could do whatever she wanted.
Ken Swanson actually owned a private villa that occupied a large area in a place where even locals had difficulty applying for the right to buy a house.
Of course, this villa was still incomparable to Serenity Villa. After all, Serenity Villa was the best villa area in Silverlake. However, compared to the surrounding houses, it was already considered a super luxurious house.
There were people maintaining the mansion every day, so the two servants welcomed them politely.
“Sir, Madam, welcome home.”
Ken Swanson nodded slightly and said to Melody, who was still sizing up the villa, “It’s too troublesome to take the boat back and forth. The night wind is cold. Let’s just stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll get James Deeds to come and pick you up.”
Melody came back to her senses and nodded. “Sure, I’m fine. I’m just afraid that it’ll be inconvenient for you to go to the airport.”
“Don’t worry about me. There used to be a lot of guest rooms here. Let’s go and take a look at Round Sand Island at night.” Ken Swanson held her hand and said to the servant, “Clean the master bedroom before we come back.”
“Don’t worry, sir. It was ready when we received your message.”
“Mm. Then let’s go.”
He tightened his grip on Melody. The streetlights stretched their shadows so long.
Watching the two of them leave, the two servants finally dared to speak.
“Oh my god, is this really Sir’s wife? Why do I feel that… her appearance doesn’t match?”
“I think she’s quite nice. She looks very kind. She’s not the kind of person who’s difficult to get along with.”
“That’s true. As long as she doesn’t hit or scold us servants, it doesn’t matter if she’s good-looking or not. Let’s go and check the master bedroom again to see if there’s anything else to buy.”
Chapter 769
The two servants chatted as they returned to the villa. Meanwhile, Ken Swanson brought Melody to the most famous attraction on Round Sand Island: the Sunset Rock.
This was the highest place on Round Sand Island. Standing on the pavilion of Sunset Rock, one could look down on the entire Round Sand Island.
The island was lit up by Cindy’s lights at night. The smell of the sea filled their nose, and they could vaguely hear the sound of waves hitting the island.
The time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The love and hatred that belonged to Silverlake seemed to have faded a little with the scenery here.
“This place is beautiful. No wonder you bought a villa here.” “I didn’t buy this place.”
“Huh? Is it your father’s villa?”
“No.” Ken Swanson shook his head and looked at the lighthouse on the sea in the distance. “My mother bought this. The Villa isn’t that famous here, but my Mother who came here by chance thought that her child could spend the summer vacation here in the future… So, the Villa bought was notarized by a lawyer. I’m the only one who has the right to inherit this villa.”
While he recounted this, Ken Swanson’s lips curled up slightly, but Melody could still empathize with his depression. Whether it was her or Ken Swanson, there was always an indescribable sadness when their mother’s was mentioned.
Their understanding of their mother actually came from the information on the Internet and the mother described by others.
The word ‘mother’ was actually more like an invisible faith, but the sadness of not having a mother was real.
Melody Fox could not help but reach out and hug Ken Swanson.
“Come on. I saw a bistro on the way here. Shall we get something to drink?”
“You? Drink?” Ken Swanson could not help but recall how Melody lost her composure when she was drunk. He could not help but laugh. “With your alcohol tolerance, forget about drinking. Go and see if there’s any juice.”
“Tsk, who are you looking down on…”
Although she said that, when they really arrived at the tavern, Melody still obediently ordered a non-alcoholic drink.
The bistro was exquisitely decorated and even had a stage for the singers. Unfortunately, the singers were not working today.
Soon, the drinks were served. The gradually changing color was very beautiful. Those who didn’t know better would think that it was a special wine.
However, before Melody Fox could take a sip of her drink, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground suddenly came from another table not far away. “Bang!”
“Ah! Hubby! Are you alright?! Help, someone save my husband!”
“President Fu! President Fu!”
Panicked screams and cries for help rang out.
Melody and Ken Swanson subconsciously looked over and saw a skinny middle-aged man curled up on the ground in pain. He seemed to be in unbearable abdominal pain.
The owner and employees of the tavern immediately surrounded him.
“What’s wrong? This is…”
The man’s wife cried and said, “I don’t know either. It suddenly became like this… May I ask if there’s a hospital on the island?”
The owner of the bistro asked in shock, “You’re not from the island?”
Under such circumstances, the woman could only tell the truth.
“We’re from Lin City. We’re here to play during the day.”
“What? Tourists aren’t allowed to stay here. Aren’t you messing around?”
“I know, but he’s not feeling well. He hasn’t had much of an appetite for days. I wanted him to relax, so…”
“There’s no other way. We don’t have a hospital on the island, only a small clinic. But the owner of the clinic went to study two days ago. There’s no doctor on the island now.” “Then what should we do? My husband seems to be dying…” The woman was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. “Please, as long as you can save my husband, I’ll give you any amount of money. Please think of a way to send my husband off the island!”
“It’s not a matter of money… It’s just that there are very few ships coming and going at this time. There’s only one trip per small boat. They just left this time. Where did the ship bring him away?”
“What should we do? What should we do? Hubby…” The woman cried out loud.
“We can only call the police first.” The tavern owner picked up his phone and was about to call the police when he was stopped by the man’s friend.
“You can’t call the police!”
“Fang Jianguo! What are you doing?! Are you trying to kill your boss? If anything happens to him, I’ll fire you immediately!”
“No, ma’am. It’s against the rules for us to stay here. What will happen to the company’s reputation if word gets out?” “It’s already past seven. Who cares about the company’s reputation?”
The two of them started arguing with flushed faces.
Melody’s gaze was only on the man on the ground. Seeing that the man on the ground was about to faint from the pain, she quickly stood up.
“I’ll go see what’s going on.”
Melody said and was about to walk over when she was pulled back by Ken Swanson.
“Wait a minute, I think I’ve seen this person somewhere before…”
“Where?”
“Let me think…” Ken Swanson tried his best to recall the other party’s identity, but he had never paid much attention to unimportant people, so he did not remember who the other party was.
At this time, the woman’s voice rose several octaves.
“Hubby!! Wake up!!!”
Melody looked sideways and saw that the man had already fainted from the pain. No matter how hard the woman shook him, he did not react.
“A life is at stake. I’ll go over and take a look first. Don’t come over, in case you really know each other and he recognizes you.”
Ken Swanson nodded. “Take care of your own safety in case it’s an infectious disease. If the situation is not right, come back immediately.”
“I know.”
Melody gave Ken Swanson a reassuring look and quickly walked to the group of people.
“Please move aside. I’m a doctor. I can help him see what’s wrong.
As soon as she said this, the group of people surrounding the man immediately made way for Melody.
The man’s wife quickly looked at Melody.
However, when those eyes that were originally filled with surprise saw Melody, the light in their eyes instantly dimmed.
“You’re so young… Are you really a doctor?”
She looked about the same age as their daughter.
The owner of the bistro couldn’t help but remind the woman, “Don’t be picky with this kind of situation Even if she’s only a medical student, she’s better than us, who don’t know anything.”
The woman gritted her teeth and stood up. “Alright, I’ll believe you this once. If you can cure my husband, I can give you 20 million dollars!”
“20 million dollars… Hiss…” The surrounding people sucked in a breath of cold air in shock. They hated themselves for not knowing medicine.
However, the person in question, Melody, acted as if she did not hear the woman say “20 million dollars”. She squatted down beside the man and reached out to feel his pulse.
His pulse was very chaotic. Fortunately, his heart was not in too bad a condition.
However, if this dragged on and he did not go in for treatment, this man would definitely not live to see the sun tomorrow.
After taking his pulse, Melody Fox pressed the man’s stomach a few more times and quickly found something wrong.
Chapter 770
There seemed to be something in his stomach, and there were signs of gastrointestinal bleeding.
But how could there be a living thing in his stomach?
This person was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his wife said 20 million dollars. He was not the kind of person who would eat unclean things.
Melody Fox hesitated for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed past her eyes.
The woman observed Melody Fox’s expression and asked, ” Young lady, how should I address you?”
“My last name is Fox.”
“Doctor Fox, is my husband’s condition serious? How did it become like this?”
Melody asked instead of answering, “What symptoms does your husband have these few days? Did he have any basic illnesses in the past?”
The woman held her breath and waited for Melody Fox to finish her checkup. When she heard Melody Fox’s question, she quickly replied, “My husband has always been in good health and doesn’t have any basic illnesses. However, ever since he went to Xiaoshan last week and came back, he hasn’t had much of an appetite. Moreover, he often feels a stomachache…”
“It’s been almost a week. Didn’t you see a doctor?”
The woman shook her head and said, “He didn’t go. I wanted him to go to the hospital, but he said that his stomach hurt occasionally in the past. He said that it should be caused by stress. That’s why we said today that we came here to relax when there’s nothing to do in the company. Who would have thought…”
Melody raised her hand to interrupt the woman’s nagging.
“What kind of place is Xiao Shan?”
“It’s a suburb of Lin City. Our family is in the construction material business. We’ve been discussing a big project recently. It’s in Xiaoshan. He went there on a business trip.”
“Is there a lot of depressions in that place?”
“Yes… It’s a mountainous area. It’s very humid…”
“Did he eat anything raw, uncooked, or accidentally fall during the time he went there?”
The woman turned to look at the man beside her.
“Fang Jianguo, tell me, you went with him.”
The man called Fang Jianguo was not in a hurry to answer. He thought about it carefully before saying, “President Fu did seem to have fallen. He, he fell into a small pond. Fortunately, although President Fu doesn’t know how to swim, it just so happens that a few of our subordinates are there, so we quickly pulled President Fu up.”
The woman was shocked. It was obvious that she had not known about this before.
She quickly looked at Melody Fox and asked, “Doctor Fox, why are you suddenly asking this? Does this have anything to do with my husband’s current situation?”
“Yes, he ate something unclean in his stomach. That’s why he fainted from the pain.”
“Huh?”
Before the woman could ask what kind of unclean thing it was, Melody Fox spoke again. “I need a few things. Get someone to find them quickly.”
“Tell me, what is it?”
“I want a dead fish, a handful of dried mud in the field, two spoonfuls of lard, and a little croton. Bring them over immediately after you find these four things.”
“W-what do you need these things for?”
No matter how he looked at it, these things did not sound like they could treat illnesses.
The man called Fang Jianguo said bluntly, “Madam, I think she’s a liar. She wants to scam money from you! Don’t fall for her trap!”
Melody said expressionlessly, “You can choose not to believe me, but after he dies, don’t blame me for not helping him.
“Well…”
Fang Jianguo looked conflicted, but the woman was eager to save her husband. She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, saying, “I don’t care! I’ll try everything I can! Hurry up and find all these things!”
*I, how would I know where to get those messy things…” Fang Jianguo was selfish and timid. He was afraid that these things would kill his boss and make him take the blame for this ugly woman who came out of nowhere.
“How about this…” Fang Jianguo rolled his eyes and said to the woman, “Madam, let these locals go. They definitely know where to get these things.
The woman did not suspect anything. As she took out her wallet, she said to the people in the room, “Please help me look for it. If you find it, you will be rewarded heavily. You can each take 200 dollars first.”
$1,000?*
The islanders were very simple-minded, and most of them didn’t lack 200 dollars, so they didn’t ask for money and went to help find things.
In less than ten minutes, a few of them returned with the things Melody wanted.
Fang Jianguo immediately smelled the indescribable stench of the dead fish.
He subconsciously pinched his nose and resisted the urge to vomit. He turned around and asked Melody Fox, “These things are not for eating, right?”
Melody did not answer Fang Jianguo. She asked the tavern owner for a bowl and mixed the dead fish and mud together with lard.
However, after removing the shell of the croton, she used the grinding tool of the tavern to mix and mash all four things.
When the four items were almost all mixed together, Melody took out a portion and kneaded them into meatballs the size of mung beans.
After massaging for about ten pills, she freed one hand to lift the man’s head.
Before the people around her could react, Melody directly fed the meatballs into the man’s mouth with cold water.
Melody lifted the man’s chin forcefully and used her index finger to gently press against his throat. The unconscious man’s body reflexively swallowed the food. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before Fang Jianguo could stop her, the man had already swallowed all the meatballs.
After a few seconds, Fang Jianguo suddenly reacted-
Those filthy things were actually used for oral consumption!
He immediately widened his eyes.
“Madam, she, she gave this mud to the boss!”
“I saw it!” The woman said as she glared at Zhao Jianguo.
In any case, they could no longer leave this island. Seeing that her husband’s face was getting more and more bruised, they could only beg that those disgusting things would really work.
However, after swallowing those few meatballs, the man’s expression did not improve, and he had no intention of waking up.
After hesitating for a moment, the woman walked forward and asked, “Doctor Fox, what else do we need to do next?”
“Now, we just need to wait,” Melody said as she stood up and laid the man’s head flat.
“Wait? Wait for what? How long do we have to wait?”
“Wait for the thing in his stomach to come out.”
“Then, what if the thing in his stomach doesn’t come out…”
Melody looked at the man who was still motionless and said with a complicated expression, “His illness has dragged on for too long. If he doesn’t come out in ten minutes… you can prepare for his funeral.”
The woman’s legs went weak and she knelt on the ground with a pale face.
The scene fell into dead silence.
Fox minutes passed, but the man on the ground still did not move.
Finally, at 10 minutes, the woman collapsed on the man’s body and hit his chest hard.
“Zhang Heming, you bastard! If you die, everything will be over. What about us?”
“Why did you insist on not going to the doctor when I asked you to? Why did you insist that it was only because you were in a bad mood?!”
“You deserve to die! Damn you!”
