Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 806, 807, 808, 809, and 810)

Chapter 806

Ken Swanson had actually wanted to ask about her face for a long time.

However, girls cared more about their looks than boys. He was afraid that his words would be inappropriate and cause Melody to misunderstand, so he did not dare to mention it.

Now that Melody took the initiative to talk about this, he immediately said seriously, “Tell me that guy’s name who poisoned you and I’ll send someone to capture him immediately.”

Melody widened her eyes and subconsciously covered Ken Swanson’s mouth.

“Don’t say that again!”

Ken Swanson was confused by her reaction.

“What do you mean? That person poisoned you. Why are you still…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ken Swanson suddenly realized something.

His eyelids twitched. “You told me before that you learned your medical skills from your master. Could this poison be…?

Melody did not want to hide this matter from Ken Swanson. Other than her master’s identity, she could tell Ken Swanson these things.

She nodded and said, “Yes, it was my master who poisoned me. He poisoned me at a very young age.”

Ken Swanson slowly frowned. There were ten thousand question marks in his mind.

“From the looks of it, your master must have treated you well. But why did he poison you?”

Melody Fox lowered her eyes and said, “I’m not sure what Master was thinking exactly, but he said that he did this for my own good. When I have the ability to detoxify the poison one day, it means that I have the ability to protect myself. Only then can I show my true appearance and not be harmed.”

Ken Swanson was getting more and more confused.

“Why are you hurt by others when you show your true appearance? In this world, most people show their true appearance, right? Only a small number of people who, have made a huge mistake or have ulterior motives will wear a fake mask and not dare to show their true appearance.

Melody smiled and said, “You’ll know the reason when I get rid of the poison.”

In her previous life, she did not understand why her master said that, but before she died, she saw her true appearance and understood.

Her appearance was both a blessing and a curse. A woman whose beauty and ability did not match would indeed bring disaster.

However, what happened in her previous life was like a dream. It became more and more distant, making her forget what her true appearance was like.

However, she remembered that she was also shocked when she saw herself.

“Alright!” Ken Swanson spread out his hands and said, ” When the day comes, I’ll accompany you to Insterimond. It just so happens that I need to go to Insterimond’s branch company to take a look at the situation.”

“Alright, let’s go together!”

“Yes, where are you going? I’ll take you there. I’ll be your driver today.”

“To Herbathrive. By the way… why are you suddenly free to come over? I called you, and your subordinates said that you were in a meeting.”

“I finished the meeting not long after you finished calling.” Ken Swanson stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Herbathrive. He said, “I have a few construction sites to take a look at. One of them happens to be on the way, so I came to see you.”

Although it was called a construction site, his subordinates had actually found a few suitable venues for their wedding.

It just so happened that Ramon Swanson had taken over his position recently. All the projects in his hands had been handed over to Ramon Swanson himself. He was free now and could have enough time to do these things.

However, he wanted to give Melody Fox a surprise, so he deliberately said that he wanted to check the construction site.

Melody Fox did not doubt Ken Swanson’s words and said, Then drive quickly so as not to delay your business.”

“There’s no hurry. we have plenty of time left.”

Ken Swanson paused for a moment and started talking about today’s meeting.

When she heard that Ramon Swanson had taken back almost all the major projects, Melody was stunned. After a while, she asked, “How old is your father this year?”

“He married late. He’s fifty-nine this year. He’ll be sixty in a few months.”

Melody was even more shocked.

“The Swanson Group doesn’t have any small projects. He’s already so old, yet he’s still carrying so much work alone. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll tire himself out?”

“Yes,” Ken Swanson said firmly. “With his physical condition, he won’t be able to last long.”

“Then why is he still…-“

Melody’s voice stopped abruptly. She thought about what had happened last night.

“It’s because of what happened last night that he’s wary of you and Ulric Swanson. Is he planning to hold on to his power more tightly?”

“Yes, I’ve mentioned it to you before. He’s too career-minded. His thoughts are like those of an ancient emperor. He’s afraid that his two sons will snatch his power.

Therefore, under his impulse, he held today’s meeting and made a big move to the headquarters.”

Melody shook her head and said, “Doesn’t he think about how old he is this year? This kind of high-intensity work, at his age, will only collapse his body.”

Ken Swanson smiled gently and said, “It’s precisely because he’s too strong-willed that he’s unwilling to admit the fact that he’s already old. He even thinks that he’s in his prime.”

Melody did not know Ramon Swanson’s age, but Ramon Swanson looked younger, so she had always thought that Ramon Swanson should be about 50 years old this year.

Unexpectedly, he was about to turn 60.

“One still has to submit to old age. Otherwise, one will soon receive a warning from the body.”

Melody sighed as a doctor, but she quickly stood in the position of Ken Swanson’s wife and thought about things.

“Did you think of a way to deal with him?”

“We wait.”

“Yes?”

Ken Swanson looked at her and said, “It’s just as you said. When one is old, one has to submit to old age. Under such heavy pressure, even I would be tired, let alone him. When he can’t hold on anymore, it will be best for you to control the Swanson Group’s real power. During this period, what we have to do is to take the opportunity to completely suppress Ulric Swanson and make him choose to help you take over.”

“Then James Deeds has to speed up. And Jennie Taylor…”

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Herbathrive.

Melody was about to get off when Ken Swanson suddenly received a call from James Deeds.

Melody paused in the act of opening the car door and slowly retracted her hand.

After the call ended, Melody hurriedly asked, “Have you found the clues for the youth center?”

Ken Swanson shook his head and said, “Do you still remember the emerald stone that the old man gave you?”

“Of course, there’s a Gu worm inside…”

Speaking of this, Melody’s eyelids twitched. She asked, ” Have you found out the origin of that Gu worm?”

“Yes, he’s from a branch of the Swanson family. The old man’s name is Li Ming. He’s the old man’s brother. He lives in the Swanson family’s old residence in Insterimond. That Gu worm is here for the old man.”

Melody Fox had heard Li Ming’s name from Ulric Swanson in her previous life.

Because Old Master Li finally handed over the inheritance to Ramon Swanson, the two brothers did not interact much from then on.

All these years, Li Ming’s family had been living off the Swanson Group shares and dividends.

They had thought that their faction would obediently take the dividends, but they did not expect that they had been harboring evil intentions in the dark.

Chapter 807

Melody could not help but worry for Ken Swanson’s sake.

There were internal and external problems, internal threats Ulric Swanson, and external threats. The entire Swanson family looked calm, but it was actually a bottomless lake.

Everyone said that wealthy families were good. They had to squeeze in no matter what and become superior.

Little did they know that this so-called superior person also needed to live cautiously every day. Otherwise, if he took a wrong step, the consequences would be far worse than ordinary people making mistakes.

Although she was worried about Ken Swanson, she had confidence in him.

If it really didn’t work out, there was still him.

After a moment of silence, Melody broke the silence.

“Then what do you plan to do with Li Ming? Although witchcraft sounds mysterious, they’re actually most afraid of traditional medicine spells. I once learned a set of medical skills that specialize in restraining witchcraft spells. If you need it, I can look for him.”

Ken Swanson shook his head and said, “There’s no hurry. This uncle of mine is timid and not very promising. The Gu Worm this time is most likely done by his second wife, Miao Jiang. Next week, I’ll go with you to Insterimond’s. I’ll visit him personally first.”

“Okay. Then you should go and do your work first. I’ll go to the clinic to help first.”

“Okay.”

Although Ken Swanson agreed, he did not let go of her hand.

Melody cast a puzzled look at Ken Swanson, only to see him staring at her lips with bright eyes.

He was like a hungry wolf that had not eaten for three days.

***

This gaze… She understood what he meant almost immediately.

But this was a car! And the car was parked at the entrance of Herbathrive.

A staff from Herbathrive had already recognized the car and was standing at the door, waiting for her to get out.

Melody glared at Ken Swanson and pulled her hand back forcefully. “Don’t mess around. Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined.”

Ken Swanson found it a little funny.

“A lifetime of wisdom? How old are you?”

Melody wanted to say that she had already lived two lives, but her rationality made her swallow her words.

“Don’t worry about it. Just be more serious! I’ve never realized that you’re so indecent before…”

As soon as she finished speaking, he was pulled into Ken Swanson’s arms and kissed her a few times.

She was dizzy from the kiss and only let go after a while.

Before she could say anything, she heard Ken Swanson’s half-smile above her head.

“Didn’t you say that I’m not serious? Then let’s rectify the name.

“You-“

“Alright, alright. Hurry up and go down. Those people at the medical center seem to be looking for you.”

Melody looked out through the car window and saw David Marrow and his two assistants looking expectantly in the direction of the car. They looked like they wanted to come up and knock on the door, but they did not dare to do so.

“Then I’m leaving.”

As she spoke, she was about to open the car door when Ken Swanson grabbed her hand again.

This time, his grip was very tight. Melody looked at him in confusion. She said very seriously, “I’ll tell you one last time. No matter what happens, your safety is the most important.”

“I know.”

“I hope you remember it.”

He pinched her face and said, “Go!”

Melody was finally free.

“Let’s go!” She wanted to get out of the car, but when the door was about to open, she suddenly turned around and kissed Ken Swanson on the lips.

It was just a light touch, but it immediately set off a storm in Ken Swanson’s heart.

His Melody… took the initiative to kiss him.

He had always known that Melody Fox was a very traditional girl, so it was very difficult for her to take the initiative to do such a thing. Therefore, Ken Swanson from Room 1 Fox was still in a daze.

When he came over and wanted to pull Melody Fox over to be intimate with him, Melody had already opened the car door and ran away.

Damn girl…

He cursed in his heart.

He had lit a fire but was not responsible for putting it out. How heartless!

However, scolding was one thing. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he watched Melody walk to Herbathrive’ s door and talk to David Marrow and the others before driving away.

After the car sped away, Melody finally had the courage to look back.

The sports car merged into the traffic and quickly turned at the next intersection and disappeared.

Melody’s heart was beating like a drum.

She was clearly a person who had been reborn, but when it came to matters between men and women, she was really a blank sheet of paper.

She wondered if he would get tired of her soon after taking the initiative.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, David Marrow’s voice entered her ears.

“Miss Fox? Miss Fox!”

Melody suddenly came back to her senses and quickly retracted her gaze to look at David Marrow.

“What happened?”

David Marrow found it strange that Melod was in a daze today, but he did not dare to ask further. He only said, I was about to call you when I saw your car driving over. A strange person came to the clinic today.”

“Oh? How so?”

Of course, speaking ill of a patient could not be done in front of so many people. Hence, David Marrow pulled her aside and said in a low voice, “That guy came in very early in the morning when the clinic just opened. We asked him if he had a doctor named, but he didn’t say anything. He only said that he was here to take a look.”

“Is that all?”

Melody did not find it strange. She thought that the other party must have often visited modern medicine in the past and had come to Hall’s of traditional medicine for the first time. He did not trust traditional medicine and wanted to see the situation first.

Either the other party had something difficult to say and had an inconvenient illness, so he was too embarrassed to say it as soon as he entered.

However, David Marrow shook his head and said, “It’s more than that! I didn’t think it was strange at first, so I asked someone to pour him a glass of coffee and let him sit down and drink coffee first.

However, when I was about to go to the backyard for lunch, I found him still sitting there! I heard from Momma Talia that he had already refilled six cups of coffee. He had gone to the toilet twice and even walked around the clinic twice.

However, when she asked him if he wanted to see a doctor, he still shook his head and said that he wanted to take a look again.”

Melody slowly frowned.

“It’s kind of weird.”

David Marrow added, “But it’s also possible that he’s here to see you. Seeing that you’re not around, he’s been waiting. Therefore, I wanted to call you outside after eating. I didn’t expect you to come over yourself.”

Melody nodded and said, “I roughly understand the situation. I’ll go in and take a look. You go ahead and do your own thing. Don’t keep an eye on him. If he’s here to cause trouble, I’m here. I’m not afraid of anything happening. If he’s really here to see me, it means that the situation isn’t good. You won’t feel comfortable keeping an eye on him.”

“Yes, you don’t have to tell me.”

David Marrow chuckled and went in first.

Melody stood outside for a moment before entering.

It looked like she was just looking at the roadside, but in fact, she was telling the bodyguards hiding in the dark nearby to keep an eye on the medical center.

Herbathrive was in troubled times. It was never a bad thing to be cautious.

After confirming that the bodyguards had received her order, she walked into the clinic.

There were not many people in the clinic in the afternoon, so Melody immediately saw the middle-aged man sitting on a chair in the resting area.

Chapter 808

The middle-aged man’s appearance was average. He was the kind of appearance that was the easiest to ignore in a crowd.

However, his aura made Melody Fox notice him at a glance.

Melody’s gaze landed on his face. He felt that this person was very unfamiliar, but there was an indescribable sense of familiarity as if she knew him.

However, no matter how hard Melody tried to search her memories, she could not remember seeing him before.

This was really strange…

Where did the sense of familiarity come from?

Melody was puzzled when the other party looked at her.

When their gazes met, the sense of familiarity grew stronger.

However, she was very sure that there was no problem with her memory because of her rebirth. She had definitely never seen this middle-aged man before.

Melody did not hesitate anymore. She walked towards the middle-aged man with a polite smile on her face.

“Sir, do you want to see a doctor? I’m the person in charge here. I heard from my subordinates that you’ve been here since early in the morning. Do you need my help?”

The middle-aged man sized her up seriously. Although his gaze was straight, it did not make her feel uncomfortable.

“I’m here to see you.”

Hearing this, Melody was half relieved.

It seemed that he did not see her in the morning, so he waited until the afternoon.

Melody nodded and said, “Alright, how should I address you?”

“My surname is Mu, and my name is Zi.”

“Mr. Mu Zi, your name is very unique… Since you’re looking for me, you must know who I am. I won’t introduce myself. Please follow me upstairs. My consultation room is on the second floor. We’ll slowly talk about your situation in the consultation room.”

“There’s no need.” The man called Mu Zi waved his hand and said, “I heard that your medical skills are superb. Just take my pulse here and prescribe a medicine for me.”

Melody’s eyes flashed with surprise.

However, she did not reject the other party’s request.

The clinic was actually no different from opening a business. She naturally complied with the customer’s request.

“Then please sit down. I’ll take your pulse.”

Mu Zi was very cooperative. After sitting down, he stretched out his left hand.

What was different from his appearance was that Mr. Mu Zi’s hands looked very old, as if he was in his sixties or seventies.

However, it was also possible that he had worked all year round, so his hands were especially weathered.

Melody did not think too much about it. She took the other party’s hand and carefully felt his pulse.

She asked about his condition as she took his pulse.

“Did you feel uncomfortable, so you came to see a doctor?”

However, the other party was very rude.

“Aren’t you a divine doctor? You’ll know after you take my pulse, right?”

The smile on Melody’s face froze.

Was he here to challenge her?

She quickly regained her composure.

“Then I’ll take your pulse first. You can replenish it for me so that I can prescribe the right medicine for you.”

The other party did not say anything, so Melody Fox did not say anything else. She held her breath and took the other party’s pulse seriously.

The other party’s pulse was very chaotic. It was as if there was a nameless fire in his body that had not been released, but it also seemed to have been poisoned, causing his pulse to be chaotic. It was smooth and slippery, and it was very agitated.

Melody Fox’s expression slowly turned serious.

She had never seen his pulse before.

Melody took his pulse even more seriously. She sensed that the other party was cold and hot. It was as if there were illnesses in his internal organs. Moreover, his pulse did not look like that of a middle-aged man. He looked more like an old man.

This was really strange.

Melody could not help but stop taking his pulse. She looked at the other party seriously and asked, “Mr. Mu Zi, I’ve finished taking your pulse. May I ask what symptoms you’ve been experiencing recently? Have you gone elsewhere to check your body?”

“What?” The other party’s eyes were filled with obvious dissatisfaction. “Aren’t you a divine doctor? Can’t you take my pulse? Do you still need a patient like me to treat myself?” “That’s not what I meant…” Melody explained patiently,” Your pulse is very strange. I dare not make a conclusion. Also, traditional medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, asking, and inquiring. Inquiry is also one of the important ways for us to treat patients.”

The other party retracted his hand, picked up the coffee cup, and drank two mouthfuls of water before saying, “The powerful traditional medicine doesn’t even need the other party to speak to know the other party’s condition. The more powerful ones only need to take a look at the other party’s face to prescribe the correct prescription for the illness. I heard from the people nearby that your medical skills are very good, and you can even revive the dead. But now, it seems like… you’re just so-so.”

Melody was neither anxious nor angry. Instead, she said humbly, “My medical skills can’t be considered brilliant. It’s the neighbors who love me. But since you’re here, it means that you trust our Herbathrive. I’ll definitely try my best not to disappoint you.”

Mu Zi lightly glanced at her and said, “You’ve said so much. Tell me, what symptoms do I have?”

“Then I’ll be bold enough to tell you what I think.”

“Speak!”

Melody pointed at the coffee cups in the man’s hand and said, “I think you have a thirst problem.”

“Oh?” A hint of interest appeared in the man’s eyes. “What’s thirst?”

“It’s a thirst problem. You need to drink a lot of water every day, but no matter how much water you drink, you still feel thirsty. Your throat is dry, as if there’s fire in your throat.”

The man reached out and stroked his non-existent beard, saying, “You guessed my symptoms. Tell me, what caused my thirst?”

Melody Fox continued without arrogance or impatience, For traditional medicine, your illness seems to be due to the depletion of kidney water. It can’t be moisturized, so it’s caused by the fire in your heart. It can’t be complemented, and you’re thirsty from suffering…”

“Then how do we treat it?”

“Take the Eight-Flavor Pill. This medicine can help with kidney water, nourishment, and calm your heart. It’s just right for your illness. After taking it, I guarantee that you’ll be cured in less than three days.”

The man was silent for a moment before saying, “Then I’ll try eating it.”

Melody smiled and pointed in a direction. “The pharmacy is over there. Come with me.”

“Okay.”

The man nodded and followed Melody in the direction she pointed.

However, when she passed by an empty passage, the man suddenly threw a flying punch at the back of her head.

Melody sensed the movement behind her and quickly bowed to avoid the fist. However, she grabbed the wrist of the other party’s right hand at lightning speed.

“You…”

The man was unwilling to be restrained just like that. He took out a silver needle from his wide sleeve with his left hand and quickly stabbed it at Melody Fox’s neck.

However, Melody Fox had expected this and dodged the man’s attack again.

However, as soon as she dodged, the man’s fist flew towards her again.

Melody dodged the attacks one by one, but she did not launch another attack. Instead, she continued to defend, so much so that she could not stop retreating. Soon, she was forced to the end of the corridor.

However, after a few rounds, the man could tell that Melody was only defending and not attacking. It was as if they were deliberately giving in to him.

Chapter 809

“Why aren’t you fighting back?! Are you looking down on me?”

The man shouted angrily. His fist seemed to carry the wind of a fist. This time, it was almost a fatal blow.

Melody flipped over and dodged the man’s fist. She flew behind the man and used her grappling hand to hold the man down from behind.

However, in less than 2 Seconds, She let go again.

Dozens of bodyguards appeared on both sides of the

corridor. They were all people arranged by Ken Swanson to protect her.

Seeing this, Melody Fox quickly ordered, “Don’t attack him!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the bodyguards who were about to attack stopped and looked at her in confusion.

She was about to speak when she heard David Marrow’s voice behind her.

“Miss Fox, what happened? Who are these people?”

“Don’t worry, it’s one of us. Go and guard outside. Don’t let anyone come over, including Herbathrive’s people.”

David Marrow opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but under the pressure of Melody Fox’s gaze, he could only retreat and guard the corridor entrance.

The rooms along the corridor were wards, but Herbathrive had recently confiscated them to treat inpatients, so no one was here.

“You guys should leave too!”

Melody said to the bodyguards.

“But…”

“Huh?” Melody frowned. “I don’t want to repeat myself.” The bodyguards could only leave and quickly disappeared. Due to the fast speed, David Marrow, who was guarding the entrance of the corridor, only felt a gust of wind and a few black shadows floating past his eyes. By the time he focused and wanted to see clearly, the bodyguards had already left Herbathrive.

Melody Fox then turned to the man.

Before she could finish, the man narrowed his eyes and asked angrily, “What do you mean? I attacked you. Why did you let me go?”

Melody could not hold it in anymore. She smiled and said, “Master, why do you want to pretend to be someone else?”

Before the anger on the man’s face could dissipate, a shocked expression appeared in his eyes.

A moment later, he slowly reached behind his ear and she saw a fake human face being slowly torn off, revealing an old face.

“Wretched girl… How did you find out?”

Melody Fox looked at Quentin Parker’s true appearance and finally felt comfortable.

When she saw that fake face call him “Master” just now, she felt very strange.

She smiled and walked up to Quentin Parker. She held Quentin’s hand and said, “Don’t care about how I discovered. Why didn’t you tell me in advance before coming over? You even made such a scene… Aren’t you afraid that I won’t discover your identity and attack you directly?”

“Hmph!” Quentin Parker snorted from the tip of his nose and said like a child, “You’re still talking about me. You didn’t even tell me you were married! If Colin Herbert hadn’t told me, I would still be kept in the dark by you!”

“Uncle Colin also knows that you’re here?”

“I went to the backyard to look for him this morning when no one was looking.”

“Then how…”

“I asked him to hide it from you. I wanted to see if you’ve regressed in this period of time.”

Melody chuckled and said, “Then do you think I’ve regressed?”

Quentin Parker looked like he did not want to answer and said, ” Boring. I thought I could fool your eyes.”

Melody said honestly, “You really tricked me at first, but when I treated you, I couldn’t help but think of you. It was the same when you tested me in the past. However, I’m sure that you were Master when you attacked me. If I can’t recognize you, wouldn’t I have been your disciple for so many years for nothing?”

Quentin Parker pursed his lips and felt a little better.

“Then it seems that I didn’t lose to my producer’s craftsmanship, but to my acting skills. I can accept that.”

He knew it. If he claimed to be the second-best producer, no one would dare to claim to be the first. Even a talented and smart disciple like her would not be able to recognize him so quickly.

“Yes, yes, yes,” Melody said cooperatively. “Your skills are superb, but your acting skills are still lacking.”

As she spoke, Melody saw David Marrow’s gaze from the corner of her eye.

It was as if he had seen a god. His eyes lit up and look like he was going to pounce on Quentin Parker.

David Marrow was the only person other than Colin Herbert who knew that Melody Fox’s master was Quentin Parker. Therefore, when he heard her call him “master” and he saw Quentin Parker take off his mask, he immediately confirmed his identity.

The miracle doctor known as Shihua Tuo, Quentin Parker! Melody helplessly gestured for David Marrow to keep quiet. Then, she said to Quentin Parker, “Master, there are too many people here. Let’s go to the backyard to talk. It’s quiet there.”

“Yeah.”

Quentin Parker nodded. He took out a mask and put it on. Then, he followed Melody to the backyard.

As soon as she reached the backyard, she asked worriedly,” Master, what’s wrong with your thirst?”

“In order to test if your medical skills have deteriorated, I specially developed a medicine that can make me thirsty.” “You’re really…”

She didn’t know how to describe it.

Quentin Parker took out a small white porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.

Melody Fox knew that this was the antidote. She quickly poured a glass of water and came over. Quentin Parker waved his hand and said, “There’s no need. Sit down. I have something important to tell you.”

Melody looked around. After confirming that there were no unrelated people around, she sat up straight.

“Go ahead.”

“Now, Halcyon’s hidden malicious doctors has started to appear again. Even in our town, malicious doctors has appeared. However, I’ve already used a fake identity to catch that guy, the Special Task Force, who was set up specifically for malicious doctors.”

Melody frowned and said, “I didn’t expect malicious doctors to be hiding in our hometown…”

The number of malicious doctors was more than she believed.

“That’s right. I originally took in a patient who was once indebted to me and had to wait for him to recover before coming back. However, in this situation, if I don’t appear soon, I’m afraid malicious doctors’s faction will be even more arrogant. When they develop back to how they were before, it won’t be easy to deal with them, so we have to eliminate them as soon as possible.”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “If nothing goes wrong, their leader is the Jennie Taylor I brought Uncle Colin to tell you.”

Quentin Parker narrowed his eyes and said, “I didn’t expect her to really not die…”

“What do you mean?”

“She was once from the same sect as me. Later on, she made a mistake and entered the malicious doctor’s line. For the sake of my sect, I put in a lot of effort to poison her. But now, it seems that the poison has been cured.”

Melody Fox more or less knew a little about this matter. She nodded and said, “Then what are you going to do now?” Quentin Parker pointed at the human-faced fake skin in his hand and said, “I’m the enemy of the entire malicious doctors faction. If they find out that I’m still alive, they will definitely think of ways to attack me. Therefore, I have to hide in the dark and use Mu Zi’s fake identity to cooperate with Special Task Force to eliminate the malicious doctor’s faction again!”

Chapter 810

“I agree. I’m also worried about your safety. Your enemies are far more than malicious doctors faction. Many big shots from various worlds have benefited from malicious doctors. It’s quite good to use Mu Zi’s identity.”

Melody Fox agreed.

Quentin Parker said that the Special Task Force was founded by him and Insterimond’s big shots. Now that he had contacted the Special Task Force again, he planned to be an undercover agent in Herbathrive as a traditional medicine doctor and cooperate with them.

Melody’s eyes lit up. She asked happily, “Are you coming to work at Herbathrive?”

“On the surface, yes, but I’ll be away from the clinic a lot. Colin Herbert has agreed to that. But I’m more concerned about something else than that.”

Melody Fox asked in confusion, “What is more important than malicious doctors?”

Quentin Parker looked at her and said, “Of course it’s your marriage! I want to see what kind of kid kidnap you!” “Master…” Melody was afraid that Quentin Parker would make things difficult for Ken Swanson, so she quickly put in a good word for Ken Swanson.

Unexpectedly, Quentin Parker’s expression turned even uglier after hearing this. He raised his hand to interrupt her. “Alright, I’m more accurate than you when it comes to men. Although I’m old, I’m still a man. A man can only tell what kind of person the other party is when he looks at a man!” Melody could not help but worry for Ken Swanson.

If her master did not like Ken Swanson and did not agree to them being together, she would be in a dilemma.

Melody clenched her fists and asked tentatively, “Then I’ll arrange for the two of you to meet for a meal tomorrow?

It can be considered a welcome party for you.”

“No need!”

Quentin Parker refused. “I’ll look for him myself. You don’t have to mention me to him. Even if you introduce me, you just have to say that I’m your new employee.”

Melody could only nod in agreement.

“Then, then please don’t do anything to him. He’s not me. He won’t give in to you.”

“What are you talking about?!” Quentin Parker was displeased again. “How can I not be able to deal with a brat?”

“Well…”

That might not be the case!

Melody did not dare to continue mentioning Ken Swanson to Quentin Parker for fear that she would make more mistakes.

She got back to business and said, “Regarding Jennie Taylor, how do you plan to find her? You once single- handedly eliminated almost all malicious doctors. She must hate you to the core and will definitely be very afraid of you.”

“I still need to discuss this matter with Special Task Force’s people at length. But for now, I need to know more about malicious doctors’s faction. After all, after so many years, my understanding of them is far inferior to back then.”

Melody Fox nodded and suddenly remembered Michael Hudson.

“Actually, I also found malicious doctors before Herbathrive. You know him, he’s Michael Hudson. However, malicious doctors’s influence on a medical center is too great. I didn’t dare to alarm the Special Task Force’s people, so I only asked Uncle Colin to find a reason to fire him. Now, he’s living in a hotel with a group of people under him. However, the people I ambushed nearby noticed that Michael Hudson seemed to want to contact Jennie Taylor.”

Quentin Parker narrowed his eyes and said, “Michael Hudson’s strength is far inferior to Jennie Taylor’s, but he’s good at winning people over. If we let him join forces with Jennie Taylor, malicious doctors’s development speed will probably be faster than we imagined.”

Melody quickly said, “You can actually talk to Ken Swanson about this. Right now, Jennie Taylor’s biggest backer is his half-brother, Ulric Swanson. He has a deep hatred for Ulric Swanson. We’re on the same side as him. He will definitely cooperate with us to capture Jennie Taylor. Moreover, he can provide a lot of help…”

“No need!” Quentin Parker refused without hesitation. “It’s our own business. Why should we trouble an outsider? Besides, like you said, he’s brother to Ulric Swanson. Although they’ re half-brothers, they’re more or less related by blood. Who knows if he’ll betray us?”

“That’s impossible. I can guarantee it.”

Quentin Parker frowned and glared at her sternly.

“Melody, you’re a rational person. Why are you so emotional at the mention of this guy? Such an important matter affects the safety of almost the entire Halcyon. I can’t allow any risk.”

Melody Fox’s back stiffened slightly. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, “Yes, I know my mistake.” “That’s enough.” Quentin Parker’s expression quickly softened as he put on the human-faced mask again.

“I still have to make a trip to the Special Task Force. Go do what you have to do. I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Colin Herbert have acknowledged you as their adopted daughter. They plan to hold a banquet half the night to officially acknowledge you. I’m also allowed to participate when the time comes.”

Melody nodded and did not dare to mention Ken Swanson again. He watched Quentin Parker leave.

As he watched Quentin Parker leave, Melody had mixed feelings.

She was very happy that her master had returned to her side because she had long treated her master as half a father.

With her master by her side, she felt very at peace.

However, her master seemed to be exceptionally distrustful of Ken Swanson. There was even… an indescribable hostility. This made her worried.

Fortunately, Colin Herbert and Beverly Herbert had returned.

Beverly Herbert had just recovered from her illness. After strolling outside for a while, she was a little tired, so she went to rest.

Melody took the opportunity to tell Colin Herbert about her master’s attitude towards Ken Swanson. He said with a heavy heart, “I wonder if Silverlake has too many negative rumors about Ken Swanson, making it difficult for my master to accept him…”

Colin Herbert listened carefully and suddenly laughed out loud.

Melody looked at her in confusion. Colin Herbert held back his laughter and said, “Silly girl, no father in the world likes his son-in-law.

You were raised by your master from a very young age years ago. His feelings for you are not something that your godmother and I can compare to.

In his heart, you are his biological daughter, a treasure that he was afraid would fall.

“In the end, one day, a guy who had never interacted with. him suddenly snatched you away from him. He doesn’t know this person at all. How can he accept you just because of a few words from you?”

Melody suddenly felt enlightened when she heard this.

That’s right! In her master’s heart, her future life partner was his son-in-law, so she naturally had very high expectations for him.

No wonder every time he mentioned Ken Swanson, it would backfire. His master might think that he had been deceived by Ken Swanson!

Colin Herbert continued, “Let’s not talk about Ken Swanson. When he first found out that your godmother and I acknowledged you as our goddaughter, he found it a little hard to accept as well. However, for some reason, he suddenly figured it out and said that he would pay for dinner tonight. But now I know why. Your biological mother passed away early. He also wants you to have a complete family. It can be seen that he really wants you to be happy.”

As Melody Fox listened, her eyes gradually turned red.
