Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 781, 782, 783, 784, and 785)

Chapter 781

“Is that so?” Zhang Heming’s expression turned slightly better.

Shi Luo quickly said seriously, “He Bing and I met someone who looked a little similar to that miracle doctor today. We didn’t get a good look at her face, so we said bad things to your savior. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Zhang Heming was silent for a moment before he said, Since it’s a misunderstanding, forget it… Come, this is our first time working together. Let’s have a toast!”

Shi Luo hurriedly poured wine for Zhang Heming. “President Zhang, let me toast you!”

With a clink, Shi Luo’s heart calmed down a little.

Before this, he never thought that he would have to fabricate such a lie because of someone he previously disliked.

Not long after, He Bing finally arrived.

He was not stupid. He drank three glasses of wine as soon as he entered and apologized to Zhang Heming.

Zhang Heming was in a good mood and indeed wanted to facilitate this collaboration with the Swanson Group, so he did not take this matter to heart.

About 40 minutes later, everyone was full and finally signed the contract.

After politely sending Zhang Heming off, He Bing was about to apologize to Shi Luo when he saw Shi Luo standing in front of a private room opposite the private room. His expression was very solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking.

“Boss Shi? What are you looking at?”

“No…” Shi Luo suddenly came back to his senses and said, You guys go first. I still have something to do.”

“What’s the matter? Zhang Heming has already left. Is there anything else? Do you need my help?”

Shi Luo was a little annoyed. He frowned and said, “This is a private matter. I don’t need your help. Leave quickly!”

He Bing knew that Shi Luo did not have any other hobbies. He only liked beautiful women. Perhaps there was a peerless beauty in this private room.

After thinking about it, He Bing immediately stopped disturbing Shi Luo and left the hotel with everyone.

After He Bing left, Shi Luo paced back and forth at the door of the private room, as if there were two little people fighting in his mind.

One of them asked him to push the door open and say a few good words to that woman to see if she could really help him detoxify the poison.

The other villain told him that even if this woman’s medical skills were really good, she might be able to detoxify him. If he went in, he would only be asking for humiliation.

The voices of the two little people filled his mind, making him almost manic.

“Forget it!”

Shi Luo gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

However, after taking two steps, she stopped in her tracks. Because a third voice appeared out of thin air in his mind: Is face more important or is life more important?

“Damn it!”

Shi Luo took a deep breath in his heart and finally mustered his courage. He walked back and knocked on the door of the private room.

Aaron Berg’s voice came from inside-

“Enter.”

Shi Luo pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

However, when he walked into the private room, he realized that there were not only Melody Fox and Aaron Berg in the private room. There was also… someone who he had never expected to appear here.

James Deeds!

Ken Swanson’s most popular assistant was Mr. Deeds.

His appearance here was almost equivalent to Ken Swanson’s appearance here.

Could it be… that all of this was a trap?

Ken Swanson sensed that he might have to side with Ulric Swanson, so he sent a doctor to test him?

He actually did not have much ambition. He only wanted to be a senior executive in the Swanson Group and did not want to be involved in the dispute between the two sons of the chairman.

However, now that Ulric Swanson had made a move, he had already placed him in a position where he could not retreat. Of the two, he had to choose one.

But who was he going to choose?

Shilo suddenly had the right to choose, but he felt as if his brain had been blocked, causing his brain to shut down for a moment, unable to think.

However, at this moment, he saw James Deeds looking at him in surprise.

“Boss Shi? Why are you here?”

Shi Luo was stunned for a moment before asking, “You, you..

Was he wrong? Was the appearance of this doctor not deliberately arranged by Ken Swanson?

Shi Luo was even more confused.

However, he was certain of one thing. Since he had chosen to walk into this private room, he had to choose a side seriously.

Shi Luo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down before saying, “I didn’t know Mr. Deeds was here. I’m here to look for Doctor Fox.”

“Oh? So you’re here to look for Miss Fox?”

Shi Luo nodded and asked, “Do you know Doctor Fox?”

“Of course, but… I can’t tell you her identity for the time being.”

Melody raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. She continued to eat her rice as if she could not hear their conversation at all.

Shi Lou was even more confused.

Wasn’t she just a doctor? What other identity could she have? But if she was really an ordinary doctor… How could she dare to be so arrogant in front of James Deeds, the popular person in front of Ken Swanson?

Before Shi Luo could figure it out, James Deeds looked at him carefully and asked, “Is Boss Shi feeling unwell?”

“Well…”

Shi Luo did not know what to say. He saw Melody Fox, who had been eating with her head lowered, suddenly raise her head and say, “He’s poisoned. This poison will kill him after it acts up.

James Deeds tons revealed a shocked expression.

“CEO Shi, why did you come to Lin City for a business trip when such a big thing happened? Why didn’t you find a way to cure the poison?”

“This…” Shi Luo felt a lump in his throat. These two people made him unable to say a complete sentence.

If he told the truth, it would mean that he had already chosen Ken Swanson as his side.

But what if this woman could not cure his illness? Wouldn’t he have sacrificed his life for nothing?

While he was hesitating, James Deeds turned around and asked the woman.

“Miss Fox, he’s someone our young master admires very much. Can you see if you can cure his poison?”

Shi Luo’s heart was instantly in his throat.

Melody chuckled and said, “It’s just a small trick by malicious doctors. I can immediately help him detoxify the poison. However… he provoked me, so I don’t want to help him detoxify the poison.”

As soon as she said this, the disappointment that he had just suspected James Deeds of pretending not to know immediately wavered.

If this woman’s appearance was really a trap, she wouldn’t have said that she wouldn’t detoxify him.

Shi Luo immediately felt that the choice was finally back in his own hands.

Ken Swanson or Ulric Swanson.

Thinking of this, Shi Luo was suddenly not in a hurry to make this choice. He believed that with his ability, Ken Swanson would definitely want to rope him in. He did not have to bow down to this unknown woman in front of him.

He could wait for Ken Swanson to take the initiative to find him.

However, Shi Luo did not know that every change in his heart was part of Melody’s plan.

After Shi Luo thought it through, his expression became extremely relaxed.

“Since Doctor Fox is unwilling to treat me, I’ll find someone else. Mr. Deeds, I’ll take my leave first.”

James Deeds was shocked. He subconsciously wanted to stop Shi Luo.

How could he be willing to let Jia Niao fly away just like that?

However, before he could speak, Melody Fox, who was beside him, grabbed his hand.

Chapter 782

James Deeds frowned.

If he missed it once, was he going to miss a second chance?

“Ms Fox…”

As soon as he said that, Shi Luo, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped.

James Deeds thought that Shi Luo had suddenly changed his mind. Before he could rejoice, he saw Shi Luo clutching his chest in pain. His entire body was like a pile of mud as he slumped to the ground.

“Boss Shi?!”

James Deeds was shocked. He suddenly remembered what Melody had said that Shilo would have an early relapse.

Could it be now? This timing was too good.

There was no time to think. James Deeds ran to Shiloh’s side and squatted down.

“CEO Shi, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Where are you feeling unwell?”

Shi Luo’s face was as pale as the wall. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his heart felt like it was being grabbed by an invisible hand. He was in so much pain that he could not control himself.

Fortunately, he still had his rationality. He knew that the poison had taken effect.

But how could it be so fast? Could it be that Ulric Swanson did not care if he would submit or not and only wanted his life?

Right at this moment, a fishy taste came from his throat. He vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Boss Shi?”

Shi Luo’s sudden vomiting of blood shocked James Deeds.

Shi Luo was so scared that his entire body stiffened. He was afraid that he would die here today.

The current situation was that even if this woman really did not have the medical skills to help him detoxify the poison, he could only take Ken Swanson’s side and beg for a chance of survival.

Otherwise, if he didn’t beg James Deeds for help, he might not even be able to see the sun tomorrow, let alone take sides.

Thinking of this, Shi Luo used all his strength to ask James Deeds for help.

“Ding, Mr. Deeds, please save me. As long as you save my life, I will definitely die for Mr. Swanson in the future…”

James Deeds felt relieved.

After all the fuss, they still managed to make Shi Luo surrender.

However, James Deeds did not dare to be happy for long because, with Shi Luo constantly vomiting blood, it was not certain if he could survive.

He quickly called out to Melody.

“Miss Fox! Please come over and see what’s wrong with Boss Shi.”

Melody put on a full act. He first rejected me, but then walked over with a reluctant expression and took Shi Luo’s pulse “reluctantly”.

Early this morning, she had roughly determined which poisons it might be. Therefore, before she left the hotel, she had already brought all the antidotes for those poisons.

About a minute later, under the urgent gazes of James Deeds and Shi Luo, she said, “The poison in his body was developed by malicious doctors. They named it Taotie. Taotie is a ferocious beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It’s vicious and gluttonous…

“However, the reason why they gave this name is because this poison will destroy and devour the hemoglobin in the internal organs, ultimately causing death.”

Shi Luo was in so much pain that he did not have the strength to speak. However, he could tell that this poison was extremely dangerous. Otherwise, he would not have named it after the ferocious beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Fearfully, he mouthed a question to Melody Fox, asking if he could be saved.

Melody Fox still didn’t forget to act.

“Why? Didn’t you want to chase me out of the company earlier? Now you know how to beg me?”

His survival instinct made Shi Luo completely disregard Melody Fox’s cold attitude. He only stared at Melody Fox, hoping that she could save him.

James Deeds assisted from the side.

“Miss Fox, CEO Shi said that he originally thought that for the young master’s sake, the two of you would be on the same side in the future. Why should you fight and be angry? Tell me quickly, can you cure this poison?”

“Of course. I’ve already told him that I can cure his poison. He didn’t believe me and insisted on suffering before coming to find me.”

Melody said as she took out her bag.

There were acupuncture bags and all kinds of medicine inside.

“You’re lucky to have met me, but if you dare to betray Ken Swanson in the future…”

With the last of his strength, Shi Lou said, “Never betray!”

Since he had chosen Ken Swanson and the heavens had chosen to let him suffer from the poison in time, he would not regret his decision!

He had always been a person who walked one path at a time.

Melody looked at Shi Luo with a faint smile. Then, she poured out a green pill from a blue and white porcelain bottle for him to take.

After Shi Luo swallowed the medicine, she took out the acupuncture bag and prepared to perform the acupuncture.

“James Deeds, carry him to the sofa.”

“Aaron Berg, take off his shirt…”

They did as they were told.

After about an hour, Shi Luo slowly sat up from the sofa in the private room.

He tried to take a deep breath and felt refreshed. He no longer felt as if his chest was tight and he could not breathe.

“What am I…”

“The poison in your body has almost been expelled, but you still need to take more medicine for a few days. However, I don’t have enough medicine on me. I’ll get James Deeds to send the medicine to you later.”

Shi Luo’s face was filled with disbelief.

“Is the poison in my body really cured?”

“What else could it be?” Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and asked, “Once the Taotie poison acts up, a person will die from lack of oxygen within half an hour. Now that the time has passed, aren’t you still alive?”

“Yes… I remember now…”

The terrifying woman in the manor had said that once the poison took effect, he would definitely die within an hour.

Therefore, he had to decide whether to submit to Ulric Swanson before the poison acted up.

However, logically speaking, he should have at least ten remaining days before the poison takes effect.

After thinking about it, Shi Luo still asked the question in his heart-

“Excuse me, Miss Fox, will this poison act up in advance under certain circumstances?”

Melody naturally wouldn’t tell him that she was the one who caused the poison to take effect in advance.

She said half-truthfully, “I’ve never used this poison before, so I don’t know the details, but the poison made by malicious doctors is unstable. Temperature, soil, or anything that can accelerate it will cause it to act early.” Shi Lou nodded.

It seemed that his business trip had caused the poison to act up in advance because he was not acclimatized.

Fortunately, he chose to knock on the door of the private room in the end. Otherwise, he would have died on the way back to the company.

Heaven really did not want him to die!

“CEO Shi, stand up and take a few steps. If you feel any discomfort, tell Miss Fox as soon as possible. Her medical skills are superb. There’s almost nothing she can’t treat.'”

Shi Luo would not have believed it if he had heard it a few years ago.

However, after Zhang Heming and what happened to him just now, he was completely convinced by Melody’s medical skills.

He stood up and took two steps. He shook his head and said, “I’m not feeling unwell for the time being, but… Mr. Deeds, since I’ve decided to work for Young Master in the future, there’s something I have to tell you.”

“Then you guys continue chatting. I still have something on. I’ll take my leave first.”

The fish had completely taken the bait. Melody Fox did not waste her time and did not continue to stay in the private room.

She let the two of them continue chatting in the private room while she left with Aaron Berg.

Chapter 783

Of course, before returning to the hotel, Melody packed a portion of Ken Swanson’s favorite dishes.

Aaron Berg could not help but say, “Miss Fox, it’s already two o’clock when we return to the hotel. Young Master should have eaten already, right?”

“That’s not necessarily true. His life is so tiring… He always forgets to eat. Anyway, let’s bring him back food first.”

“Yes.”

Hence, the former leader of the black market was now following behind Melody with two bags of lunch boxes.

By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already past two in the afternoon.

But just as Melody expected, after asking Spencer, she learned that Ken Swanson had been immersed in work and had not eaten lunch at all.

Aaron Berg was surprised, but he didn’t forget to praise Melody Fox.

“Fortunately, Miss Fox, you brought it back. You really have divine foresight.”

Melody Fox ignored Aaron Berg’s flattery. She could see that after Shi Luo’s incident, Aaron Berg looked at her with much more respect than before they set off for Lu City.

It seemed that not only did she make Shi Luo submit, but she also made Aaron Berg’s heart a little tighter.

In the future, she would not have to worry about Aaron Berg suddenly stabbing her in the back because of Nyla Berg’s death.

“Give it to me. You guys go and organize your things too. We’ll probably have to go back to Silverlake later.”

“Yes!”

Melody Fox nodded slightly. She took the food box from Aaron Berg and walked into the hotel room.

It was not until the door closed that Aaron Berg retracted his gaze and looked at Spencer.

“Come, go to my room. Tell me about the amazing things she did during the time you followed her.”

Spencer asked in confusion, “Didn’t you not want to hear about Miss Fox before?”

“I do now.”

He had already confirmed that Melody Fox would be his mistress in the future, so he wanted to know her better to avoid making mistakes in the future.

Moreover, he really wanted to know how strong a girl who was even younger than him could be.

Spencer happily agreed. As he walked, she said, “Miss Fox is really amazing. There are some things that Seventeen told me. I’ll tell you everything…”

In the room.

As soon as Melody Fox entered, Ken Swanson turned to look at her.

Observing her expression, he smiled and asked, “Is the matter resolved?”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you for your hard work.” Ken Swanson stood up from the desk and took the things from her hands. “What did you bring back?”

“Lunch. I knew you didn’t squeeze time for lunch!”

Ken Swanson was a little embarrassed. He explained in a fawning manner, “I was too busy and didn’t have time to eat. But didn’t you bring food back for me? If I don’t eat it, I’ll waste what you brought back.”

“You still have the cheek to say that! If you get gastric problems, I’ll be the one to nurse you back to health in the end! In short, you have to eat meals 3Xs a day in the future.”

“Got it. I’ll definitely remember to eat in the future. No matter how busy I am, I’ll find time to eat two mouthfuls. How about that?”

Melody pouted. “That’s more like it. Alright, hurry up and eat. If you don’t eat now, the food will get cold.”

“Do you want us to eat together? It’s boring to eat alone.”

“Fine.”

Coincidentally, she was also focused on Shi Luo’s matter and had not eaten much in the private room. At this moment, she felt a little hungry.

As the two of them ate, Ken Swanson mentioned Shi Luo.

“How did you resolve this matter? I only know a portion of it from the brooch that James Deeds gave you…

Melody Fox made a long story short and told him about Shi Lou.

“If Shi Luo was easier to fool, easier to fool, the matter could be resolved faster. However, it’s precisely because he’s awkward and stubborn, and there’s some arrogance in his bones, so I can only circle around to win him over.”

As Melody spoke, she turned around and saw Ken Swanson’s black eyes staring straight at her. His eyes were clearly as black as obsidian, but they made people feel exceptionally bright.

She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Ken Swanson.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“You look good.”

Melody Fox blushed. Similarly, she felt a sense of inferiority.

“Don’t bluff me. How can I not know if I’m pretty or not?”

However, Ken Swanson hooked her chin with one hand with an extremely serious expression.

“In my eyes, you are the most beautiful and perfect woman in the world.”

She was smart, and kind, had superb medical skills, and had many skills. He must have accumulated great virtue in his previous life to be able to marry her.

Melody could not help but scrutinize Ken Swanson’s eyes.

The eyes were the windows to the soul. If he was lying, she could totally see the clues.

However, after looking at each other for a while, she realized that Ken Swanson seemed to really think that she was perfect.

“Have you… always liked ugly girls?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You’re the only one I like. It has nothing to do with looks. Regardless of whether you’re beautiful or ugly, the person I like is you.”

Melody lowered her head. “I don’t believe it. All men like beautiful women.”

“You don’t believe me? Then I’ll prove it to you.”

“How can you prove it?”

“Of course… I’ll do it myself!”

Ken Swanson picked her up and threw her onto the big bed in the room.

“I’m a clean freak. If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t have done that.”

Melody hurriedly pressed both hands against his chest.

“It’s broad daylight. Don’t do anything rash!”

“How is messing around with my wife? Besides, you asked me to prove it myself…”

With that, he bent down and kissed her deeply.

Not long after. The bed limb shook and made a gurgling sound.

The temperature in the room instantly rose. A beautiful butterfly landed outside the room and greedily absorbed the pollen on the roses.

James Deeds was looking for Ken Swanson and was excited to report the good news about Shi Lu’s complete surrender. But when he reached the door and was about to knock on the door, he heard voices inside.

He had never eaten pork before, but he had seen pigs run. He knew what was going on inside.

This time, he finally didn’t turn into a third wheel and left cursing.

“Damn it, it’s a five-star hotel. What kind of lousy soundproofing is this…”

James Deeds, who was single from the mother’s womb, broke through his defense and left.

The sun was setting when the group finally returned to Silverlake.

On the way, James Deeds relayed to Ken Swanson what Shi Lou had said to him in the private room.

“He said that it was Ulric Swanson who poisoned him. He even volunteered to list the people who were poisoned that day. Oh, right, he also said that if you need it, he can tell those people that Miss Fox detoxified him.”

“There’s no need for for now. Let him continue to pretend that he’s still hesitating. This way, Ulric Swanson can let down his guard and ensure his personal safety first. Secondly, he can also be a spy and continue to provide us with information about Ulric Swanson.”

“Yes!”

At the airport of Silverlake, Melody Fox and Ken Swanson were separated by different cars.

Ken Swanson, who was “going to the construction site to inspect”, needed to return to headquarters.

Melody was about to go to Herbathrive when Zack Nelson suddenly called.

“Miss Fox, can you help me visit my grandfather?”

Chapter 784

Melody Fox’s heart tightened.

“Zack Nelson, did something happen?”

“I don’t know the details. The nanny hired by my family called me. She’s young and has never seen such a thing. She’s already so frightened that she only knows how to cry. The nanny told me that Grandpa suddenly fainted. She can’t explain the details at all, so I called you directly. However, I’ve already called an ambulance. They might arrive before you.”

“Understood. I’ll rush over immediately.”

As Melody spoke, she turned around and instructed Spencer to drive the car to Zack Nelson’s house.

Seeing that the car had turned around, Melody asked about something else.

“Where are you?”

“I’m on a business trip at Insterimond…”

“I understand. Give me the number of the nanny. I happen to be near your house. I can ask about Ford Nelson’s situation in advance.”

“Thank you, Miss Fox. I will try my best to rush back as soon as possible.”

“There’s no need to thank me between us. I definitely won’t let anything happen to Ford. Oh right, remember to give me your nanny’s number later. If the ambulance arrives, I’ll be able to find the hospital in time.”

“Yup!”

After the call ended, Zack Nelson quickly sent the nanny’s phone number.

Melody Fox urged Spencer to drive faster as he called the nanny.

The call was picked up after two rings. A female voice came from the other end. “Hello?”

“Hello, my name is Melody Fox. Are you the nanny of Zack Nelson?”

As soon as she asked the question, the other party hung up.

Melody frowned. She felt that something was wrong.

Did she call the wrong number? But the phone number was clearly the right one…

However, when she called again, the other party refused to pick up.

“Spencer, go faster!”

“Yes, Miss Fox.”

He stepped hard on the accelerator, and the time was shortened by half.

The apartment Zack Nelson lived in was located in one of the wealthy districts of Silverlake. This was also the house Ken Swanson had given to Zack Nelson. It was less than ten minutes away from Ximber Tech. Even the security guards at the door were veterans. Outsiders could not enter at all.

However, because Zack Nelson had informed them in advance, they arrived at the apartment building unimpeded.

Coincidentally, a security guard walked out.

Melody quickly stepped forward and asked, “Has an ambulance been here?”

“Ambulance? No, no ambulances have ever come in the neighborhood.”

Just as the security guard was answering, a resident passed by and said to her kindly, “I went out to get the express delivery just now and saw an ambulance parked at the entrance of the neighborhood. However, for some reason, it only stopped for two minutes and drove away without getting out.”

The ambulance came and left, but it did not take Ford Nelson away at all. Did it not send anyone in to check?

Melody thought of the rejected call and frowned even more.

She had a very bad premonition.

The nanny might have hoped that something would happen to Ford Nelson.

Hopefully, this guess will not be confirmed…

“I understand. Thank you.”

After thanking the residents, Melody Fox brought Spencer and Aaron Berg and quickly ran towards Zack Nelson’s house. When the elevator door opened, Melody was quick like an arrow that left the bow. In less than a moment, she ran to Zack Nelson’s door.

The door was tightly shut, so she could only raise her hand to knock.

“Open the door! I’m a doctor!”

Not long after, an impatient female voice came from inside

“Didn’t I tell you that we don’t need an ambulance anymore? Has he recovered? You guys can leave. We don’t need to go to the hospital anymore.”

That voice was the voice on the phone!

The other party did not open the door and only spoke to her through the door.

Melody was careful and deliberately covered the peephole with her hand.

She was now certain that her guess was right. This nanny was up to no good!

She suppressed her voice slightly and guessed that the other party had never called an ambulance before. She lied, “I forgot to tell you on the phone just now that you need to sign a word to confirm that you don’t need an ambulance. Otherwise, we won’t be able to report back.”

“How troublesome…”

The person inside mumbled and opened the door slightly. “Where do I sign…?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Melody kicked the door open without even looking at the nanny.

The other party did not expect this. After letting out a scream, he fell back.

The nanny was only in her twenties. She was dressed exquisitely, but her almond-shaped eyes were filled with coldness.

She endured the pain and glared angrily at Melody and her bodyguards.

“Who are you? Get out! Or I’ll call the police!”

Melody walked straight into the suite. As she walked, she instructed Aaron Berg, “Lock her up! Find out what’s going on.”

Aaron Berg had been in charge of the black market for so long. After hearing what the resident downstairs said, he could roughly guess the situation.

He responded with a “yes” and asked Spencer to help Melody while he easily pinned the nanny to the ground with a grappling hand.

“Let me go!” the woman screamed frantically. “Someone! Murder!”

“Behave yourself!” Aaron Berg grabbed the woman’s neck, and the woman could not make a sound.

Melody finally found Ford Nelson lying on the bed in one of the bedrooms.

*Ford Nelson?

The person on the bed didn’t answer, but because the curtains in the room were closed and the light was dim, she couldn’t see the details.

Melody turned on the light and instructed Spencer to open the windows.

“Open the windows for ventilation.”

As the lights were turned on, the room suddenly lit up. Melody took a few steps to the bed and saw Ford Nelson, Ford’s eyes rolled up. His limbs became extremely tough, and he was twitching.

The situation was indeed not as the nanny had said. They did not need a doctor.

“Ford Nelson? Ford Nelson!”

Melody leaned over and called Ford Nelson several times, but Ford Nelson was still delirious.

His consciousness was blurry, and the situation was very bad.

Melody saw that his face was flushed and his lips were pale. She quickly placed the back of her hand on Ford Nelson’s forehead.

With this action, she immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

“High fever…”

“Has he had a high fever?” Spencer could not help but ask.

“Yes, the temperature is not low. It’s at least 102 °F. There must be a first aid kit at home. Bring me the first aid kit. I need some first aid pills as well.”

“Then I’ll go look for the first aid kit…”

Spencer was about to rummage through the first aid kit when Melody reminded him, “Don’t waste time looking for the first aid kit place. Go and ask the nanny where the first aid kit is.”

“Yes!”

After Spencer left, Melody also took out the medical bag she carried with him. After adjusting Ford Nelson to a lying position, she began to insert the silver needles into a few emergency life-saving acupuncture points.

At that moment, the nanny’s scream came from outside.

After a few screams, Spencer successfully came in with the first aid kit.

“Miss Fox. Here.”

Melody took it. She did not care how Spencer asked where the first aid kit was. She just lowered her head and quickly searched for what she might need.

There were many daily medicines inside. There was also an ear thermal gun that measured one’s temperature.

Melody Fox measured Ford Nelson’s temperature with an ear thermal gun. The result left the two of them speechless.

Chapter 785

“Forty degrees…” Spencer gasped, and Melody’s eyes darkened.

At Ford Nelson’s age, under normal circumstances, even if one had a fever, it would be very difficult for them to have such a high temperature.

At a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, even a strong young man would not be able to last for more than a few days.

And Ford Nelson was clearly not just starting to burn. Melody was sure that if she had come a little later, Ford Nelson would have been gone.

“Should we send him to the hospital immediately?” Spencer asked.

“Call the ambulance back first. They have more professional equipment in the car.”

Melody said as she rummaged through the first aid kit again.

When she saw a box of phenobarbital, her eyes lit up. The drug has an effect on high blood pressure and also has a good anticonvulsant effect on high fever and seizures.

To the current Ford Nelson, it was simply a life-saving medicine.

Melody quickly poured a glass of water. She held the back of Ford Nelson’s head with one hand and tried her best to feed him the medicine.

After doing this, she rummaged through the fridge in the house.

Zack Nelson’s house was not big, but fortunately, she had everything she needed. She quickly made a simple ice pack and helped Ford Nelson cool down physically.

“Miss Fox.” Spencer took a few steps forward and said, “The ambulance is already on its way here. It should be upstairs in about ten minutes.”

“I understand. Go downstairs and wait. Get them to bring a stretcher up. Ford Nelson won’t have the strength to walk in this situation.”

“Yes!”

After instructing Spencer, Melody used silver needles to administer acupuncture to Ford again. When the 13th silver needle pierced into an acupuncture point on the neck, a few seconds later, Ford Nelson’s eyelids moved and he finally opened his eyes slowly. “Ford Nelson!” Melody felt relieved.

If he could wake up, Ford’s life would not be in danger. Of course, it was only a temporary solution.

“You…? Melody?” Ford Nelson asked in disbelief, “Am I dreaming? I actually saw you.”

Melody could not help but blame herself.

She had promised Zack Nelson that she would visit Ford Nelson often, but because she was too busy, she did not come even once.

Melody tried her best to suppress her emotions. She swallowed and said, “You’re not dreaming. It’s me. I’m Melody.”

She gently held Ford Nelson’s hand. His hand was still hot.

“That’s great. I’m not dreaming…”

Ford Nelson pursed his lips, but he realized that his body was too weak. He did not even have the strength to smile. He could not help but ask blankly, “What’s wrong with me?” “You have a fever. I’m not too sure about the exact cause of the fever. How are you feeling now? Do you have the strength to tell me what’s wrong with your body?”

Ford Nelson said in a hoarse voice, “My chest is stuffy, I’m dizzy, and I’m not feeling well… Also, my throat hurts. Am I going to die?”

“Don’t think too much. I think you have a fever from the flu.”

Ford Nelson heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was only suffering from the flu.

Although he was already halfway into the grave, he still felt a sense of relief when he heard that he would not die for the time being.

“How many days have you been like this?”

“Let me think…” Ford Nelson was silent for a moment before saying, “It should have started on the first day after Ah Ze went on a business trip. From that day onwards, his throat started to hurt, and then it became more and more uncomfortable.”

Melody was shocked.

“As far as I know, Zack Nelson has been on a business trip for almost a week. Why haven’t you gone to the hospital to take a look?”

Ford Nelson shook his head and said with a complicated expression, “Shen Mei, the nanny said that I just have a common cold and don’t need to go to the hospital. I think that Ah Ze likes to make a fuss. In addition, he’s on a business trip. I don’t want him to worry, so I haven’t gone to the hospital.”

If he went to the hospital, he would definitely have to swipe his card. Zack Nelson would know immediately, so he had been holding on.

Until he didn’t know what was happening, he had completely lost consciousness.

A cold glint flashed across Melody’s eyes. She asked in a low voice, “Shen Mei was hired by Zack Nelson, right? How did she treat you?”

“She’s… just like that. She’s alright.”

Melody frowned.

“Ford Nelson, you’re not telling the truth. I want to hear the truth! I suspect that she’s deliberately dragging your illness to the hospital in a vain attempt to kill you.”

Ford Nelson widened his eyes and said, “It can’t be… Even though she’s a little petty, she’s not that evil.”

“Petty theft?”

“Yes… Last month, I found out that she had taken the family’s cash. However, she had already returned it and apologized to me. She said that her mother was seriously ill and wanted to take it back for emergencies.”

“You didn’t tell Zack Nelson about this, did you?”

“Mm… Cough, cough, cough!”

Melody took a deep breath. She roughly knew what was going on.

She patted Ford Nelson’s shoulder and said, “Close your eyes and rest for a while. The ambulance should be here soon. When we reach the hospital, I’ll get them to give you oxygen. The chest pain and cough will soon ease.”

Ford Nelson nodded, but he did not forget to remind her, that Shen Mei’s family background is a little poor. She’s not a bad girl. Don’t misunderstand her.”

“I know. You should rest first. Leave the rest to me.”

Ford Nelson was indeed tired. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep again.

Melody removed the silver needles from Ford Nelson’s body. She turned around and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

In the living room.

Aaron Berg found a rope from somewhere and tied the nanny to a chair.

The nanny’s mouth was stuffed with a rag, and she glared at Aaron Berg resentfully.

As soon as Melody appeared, the nanny’s gaze immediately shifted to her.

Melody Fox had only seen that gaze on Yolanda Fox.

With just one look, she was sure that the other party was different from what Ford Nelson said. She was definitely not a good person.

The eyes were the windows to the soul. These words were not nonsense.

She walked up to the nanny expressionlessly and tore off the rag in her mouth.

“Save…-“

The nanny immediately wanted to shout for help, but Melody did not say anything else and slapped her hard on the face.

The other party was clearly stunned by her slap. She opened her mouth and looked at her blankly.

“I advise you to be quiet. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up if you make a sound.”

“You…”

Smack!

Another slap landed on the nanny’s face.

This time, the force was obviously stronger than before. The nanny’s left side was swelling at a visible rate.

“Looks like you still don’t know that I’m a person who does what I say. You can’t blame me if I ruin your pretty face.”

The nanny opened her mouth as if she had countless curses to curse.

However, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, the burning pain on her cheek made her hold back and not dare to make another sound.
