Chapter 916
As the two of them were talking, Ming Haotian and Old Master Ming had finally finished crying.
Ming Haotian helped Old Master Ming to a chair and then sincerely knelt down in front of him.
Old Master Ming subconsciously wanted to help him up, but when he thought of what Ken Swanson had said to him before, “He was the one who spoiled Minghao Tian.” In the end, he held back.
However, this time, Ming Haotian truly knew that he was wrong.
He ignored the gazes of the people around him and said with burning eyes, “Dad, it was my fault in the past. I never understood your hard work. I can’t even count the mistakes I’ve made in the past two years…
“But now I understand that the only thing that’s truly good for me is my family, not that woman who blinded me…”
“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault for being stupid and meeting a bad person! I deserve to die! I shouldn’t have let you go through so much trouble for me at your age.”
“Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll definitely be a new person and let you enjoy your old age in peace. You won’t be angry or sad because of me anymore! I swear to God! If I can’t do it, I’ll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
Old Master Ming’s eyelashes fluttered. He finally couldn’t help but help Minghao up.
“Your words… are not in vain. I hope you really repent this time.”
Ming Haotian gritted his teeth and said, “I really regret it. If I make a mistake again, don’t act anymore. Just beat me to death with a stick. I won’t complain at all!”
Old Master Ming smiled through his tears.
“Alright, alright. Don’t continue with such ominous words.”
As he spoke, he led Ming Haotian to Melody Fox and Ken Swanson.
“Ah Ken, Melody, thank you for coming up with a plan for me and turning Ming Haotian back into the sensible child he used to be…”
Minghao Tian was surprised for a moment, but he quickly understood.
He took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to Ken Swanson.
“Brother Ken, if you ask me to go east in the future, I won’t go west! This time, I really know my mistake!”
Ken Swanson glanced at Minghao Tian and said, “Now, do you know what kind of person the woman you like is?”
At the mention of Jian Huan, Ming Haotian wished he could strangle her to death.
He lowered his eyes and smiled mockingly at himself. “She was the one who brought me to the police station tonight. If I don’t see her true colors, my eyes and brain will really become decorations.”
Ken Swanson raised an eyebrow.
“It’s not too late to turn back now. It is getting late. Help your father back to his room to rest before looking for me. I have something to tell you.”
“Good!”
Minghao Tianyi responded and turned around to help Old Master Ming back to his room.
Elder Ming had fainted once after learning that Minghao had been taken to the police station. It was already so late at night, but his body could not take it anymore.
Therefore, he did not even bother exchanging pleasantries with Ken Swanson and the others. Soon, with Minghao Tian’s help, he returned to his room to rest.
As soon as Old Master Ming left, a figure that no one noticed turned around and walked out.
However, Melody Fox acutely sensed it.
This person was none other than Ming Yiheng.
He was also carrying a bag on his shoulder. It was obvious that he had decided to leave completely.
Melody Fox frowned slightly. After saying goodbye to Ken Swanson, he chased after him.
“Ming Yiheng!”
Ming Yiheng, who was about to walk out of Gate the Mont family, stopped in his tracks and turned around in surprise. There was actually someone who cared about the departure of an unknown supporting role?
He turned around in confusion and met Melody Fox’s gaze.
“It’s you.”
Melody Fox nodded. He took a few steps forward and asked, “It’s already early in the morning. Where are you going?”
“The dormitory.”
“Don’t lie to me. University Insterimond has a curfew. If you go back at this hour, you won’t be able to enter the dormitory.”
Ming Yiheng wasn’t angry that he was exposed, but he had no choice but to tell the truth.
“The library at our school is open. I can sit there all night.”
“Why don’t you stay and leave tomorrow?”
Ming Yiheng lowered his eyes and said, “I’ve been sleeping in Ming Haotian’s room for the past two days. Now that he’s back, I naturally have to return the room to him. There’s… no place here that belongs to me.”
Melody Fox could not help but feel sour in his heart.
She thought of the time when she had just returned to the Fox family in her previous life.
She often felt that she did not belong to the Fox family and they did not have a sense of belonging.
It was precisely because she was too lonely and yearned for kinship that she was deceived by the clumsy acting skills of Mabel Fox and Yolanda Fox.
Ming Yiheng looked at Melody Fox’s reaction and felt a little puzzled.
She had only interacted with him twice, but why did he feel that she seemed to understand him very well?
This “understanding” had nothing to do with sympathy. Instead, it was because they seemed to be from the same world.
“Your family…” He couldn’t help but ask.
Melody Fox replied frankly, “My mother passed away after giving birth to me. Later, my father married another woman and placed me in a distant relative’s house in the countryside. Now, I’ve already severed my father-daughter relationship with him.”
Ming Yiheng was enlightened.
No wonder she looked at him with empathy instead of disdain or sympathy like others.
They were really from the same world.
Ming Yiheng could not help but take a deep look at Melody Fox.
“In the future, we can… (See each other often)”
He was silent for a moment, but he swallowed his words.
He remembered that she was already married.
However, Melody Fox continued.
“We can keep in touch in the future. If you encounter any financial problems, you can come to me. Of course, I have conditions. I hope you can sign a contract with our company as soon as possible and let us be in charge of funding and participating in all your research.”
When Ming Yiheng heard the word “husband”, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He looked up at Melody Fox again and smiled. “Is your company so short of people?”
Melody Fox said bluntly, “We don’t lack people. What we lack is talents like you.”
Ming Yiheng could not help but be stunned.
“Why are you so sure… that I’m a talent? I’m just a new student. Just because I’m a student at University Insterimond?”
“It might be a premonition. But I’ve never been wrong about people. You won’t disappoint me.”
Ming Yiheng pursed his lips and was silent for a long time before saying, “I haven’t paid the tuition fees for this school year.”
Melody Fox’s eyes lit up and said, “We’ll be responsible! Don’t you have my number? Send me your account number.”
Ming Yiheng sent the account in front of Melody Fox.
In less than 5, Seconds, a large transfer made Ming Yiheng instantly dumbfounded.
“2 million dollars?”
“In addition to your tuition fees, this fee includes your signing fee. In addition, you can use this money to rent a house near the school so that you can focus on your studies more quietly.”
Chapter 917
It took Ming Yiheng a while to realize the problem.
Did this mean that he was taken in by a woman? But the other party didn’t want his body, but his… ability?
He was stunned for a long time before he said, “Aren’t you afraid that your money will go down the drain? 2 million dollars… is not a small sum.”
“Investing is risky to begin with and I have confidence in you. I won’t lose out if I sign you with 2 million dollars as the signing fee.”
Ming Yiheng glanced at her and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll use my status to raise the signing fee or not sign the contract with you?”
“I’m not afraid.” Melody Fox smiled and said, “I must be the boss who understands you the best. If you go to someone else, no matter who it is, they won’t be able to let you unleash your full potential.”
Ming Yiheng narrowed his eyes.
“I don’t like people who are too confident.”
“I’m not being confident. I’m just telling the truth.”
After a moment of silence, Ming Yiheng said, “I’ll accept the money, but I want to personally confirm the specific treaty in the contract.”
“Of course. After the contract is drawn up, I’ll send it to you personally.”
“In that case… I’m leaving.”
As Ming Yiheng spoke, he picked up his bag and turned to leave.
Not because of anything else, but because he found that his heartbeat seemed to be faster and stronger than any previous time.
It was as if he had suddenly found the direction and goal of his life.
The path through his target was found by Melody Fox.
Scientific research…
Could he really do it?
Ming Yiheng walked faster and faster. When he calmed down, he realized that he had unknowingly walked more than ten rounds around the Mont family.
However, he had already made up his mind.
Since even a woman who had just met him trusted him so much, what reason did he have not to work hard?
At two o’clock in the morning, Mingyi entered the library of Insterimond University and opened a book he hadn’t had the courage to open before the Possibilities of Super Weapon Development.
After Melody Fox watched Ming Yiheng leave, he turned around and met Ken Swanson’s gaze not far away.
However, Ken Swanson was not looking at her, but in the direction Ming Yiheng had just left.
Melody Fox ran towards Ken Swanson. Just as he stood in front of her, Ken Swanson suddenly held the back of her head and kissed her on the lips without any warning.
“You… Oh, let go… Ken Swanson…”
Melody Fox was shocked by Ken Swanson’s sudden kiss. When she reacted, she quickly reached out to push him away.
However, what surprised her even more was that Ken Swanson had no intention of letting go of her at all. Instead, he kissed her deeper and deeper.
Her breathing gradually became chaotic, carrying a trace of beauty.
Ken Swanson’s situation was clearly worse than hers. He was almost aroused and was in a very resistant state.
Fortunately, Melody Fox’s mind was still clear.
This was the Mont family. If someone saw it…
At the thought of this possibility, Melody Fox could not care less. He raised his leg and stepped hard on Ken Swanson’s toes.
“Hiss…-
Ken Swanson gasped in pain.
Melody Fox took the opportunity to push Ken Swanson away.
Before she could speak, she looked up and saw Minghao Tian standing not far away, dumbfounded.
Melody Fox suddenly widened her eyes. She was so embarrassed that he hid on Ken Swanson’s body. His right hand pinched Ken Swanson hard as revenge for his actions just now.
Ken Swanson gasped again. He pretended to be angry and asked, “Murder your husband?”
But soon, he realized that Melody Fox was acting abnormally.
He turned his head and accurately found where Ming Haotian was. After seeing Ming White’s Heavenly Empress, he finally understood why Melody Fox wanted to strangle him.
He calmly carried Melody Fox from behind him and walked towards Minghao Tian.
Minghao Tian subconsciously wanted to find something to say, but Ken Swanson asked him with a calm expression, Is your father asleep?”
群
Ken Swanson had no intention of interrogating him. Only then did Ming Haotian heave a sigh of relief.
He really didn’t mean to peek, but he couldn’t find Ken Swanson in the main hall, so he came out to take a look. He didn’t expect to see that scene.
This time, he was completely sure that Ken Swanson had really taken a fancy to this ordinary-looking woman.
When he thought about how he almost caught Melody Fox and delivered him to Janet Murphy, a chill ran down his spine.
It was obvious that if he really did that, he would really not be far from death.
Ming Haotian suppressed his thoughts and replied to Ken Swanson, “Yes, he’s a little tired today. He fell asleep after lying down and talking to me for a while. I wonder why you’re looking for me?”
Although his seniority was higher than Ken Swanson’s, even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to use seniority to show off in front of Ken Swanson. He even wished he could lower his status to the lowest.
Ken Swanson said calmly, “Do you want revenge?”
Ming Haotian was stunned on the spot.
When he realized that Ken Swanson was talking about Jian Huan, he said without thinking, “Yes! When he was locked up inside, I wish I could die with her!”
“Only stupid people want to die with their enemies. Smart people will choose to retreat unscathed after taking revenge.”
“But, I don’t know what to do.”
Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox and said, “Let your sister-in-law tell you how to deal with a bad woman.” Melody Fox looked baffled.
Why did she feel like he was talking about her?
But she wasn’t a bad woman, okay?
Melody Fox pursed her lips and said to Minghao Tian, “I need you to gather some evidence. Call records, transfer records, recordings… chat records, and so on. As long as you can prove that she was really in love with you in the past, organize everything and send it to me.”
“What’s the use of these things?”
“You don’t have to ask. Just send it to me.”
Ming Haotian no longer dared to shout at Melody Fox. He shrunk his neck and nodded. “I understand. Give me a day and I’ll gather them all for you.”
“Yes.” Melody Fox nodded. When he saw Minghao Tian’s abnormally thin face, he could not help but say again, “By the way, did you know that she maintained a long-term underground relationship with many members of the opposite sex during her relationship with you?”
Ming Haotian’s eyelids suddenly lifted.
“W-What?!”
Melody Fox shrugged and said, “It seems that you don’t know yet. She has many men, most of whom are the sugar daddies arranged by the Murphy family’s main family. But because there are too many men, she has an unclean illness…”
Minghao Tianting’s face twisted.
“Did you say she had a… unclean disease?”
“Yes, so I suggest that if you have time tomorrow, go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Ming Haotian’s brows knitted together before relaxing. After relaxing, his expression became even more unsightly.
“Is there any other way for this disease to spread other than doing that kind of thing?”
“It is different from AIDS. Although it is also life-threatening, it is not a terminal illness. It can only be transmitted through… that kind of thing.” Melody Fox paused for a moment and suddenly realized something. She looked at Ming Haotian in shock and asked, “You two have never slept together?”
Chapter 918
Ming Haotian was a bit embarrassed. He and Jian Huan had been together for almost three years, but they had never had a relationship.
Even though the two of them were still stuck in Class when they were studying, what they did was only hold hands and hug each other.
If word got out, his brothers would definitely be shocked and laugh at him until he died.
But now, there was nothing to be ashamed of. His face had been trampled on by Jian Huan the moment he was arrested and brought to the police station.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Ming Haotian replied truthfully, “We never had sex… I thought at that time I truly liked her, so I wanted to respect her wishes and wait until after our marriage… Now that I think about it, my respect for her is probably just a joke in her eyes.
“Give me your hand.”
Ming Haotian did not understand what was going on. Melody Fox directly grabbed Ming Haotian’s hand and began to take his pulse.
About a minute later, Melody Fox let go of Minghao Tian’s hand. Similarly, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You didn’t contract that disease.”
“We haven’t even kissed before. It’s hard to get it even if we want to, right?”
“Are you stupid? That’s a good thing! Why do you sound a little unhappy? If you really have sex, you won’t be able to escape that illness.”
Ming Haotian’s mood improved a bit.
“Looks like the heavens have been kind to me.”
Melody Fox sneered and exposed him. “You’re a fool.”
“Ming Haotian opened his mouth and wanted to retort, but when he realized that Ken Swanson and Melody Fox really liked each other, he immediately swallowed his retort and said respectfully to Melody Fox, “You’re right.”
Ming Haotian suddenly changed his attitude. Melody Fox was not used to it.
She covered her nose and coughed dryly. “Remember what I told you. Sort it out for me as soon as possible. Also, without our permission, you’re not allowed to look for her casually in the future.”
“Why?”
He was still thinking that he had recovered his status as the young master of the Mont family and could slap Jian Huan’s face.
Melody Fox said in a deep voice, “Going to her will ruin our plan. If you don’t want to be that stupid person from before, do as we say.”
Melody Fox’s tone was unquestionable. Ken Swanson also looked at him with a warning expression.
Ming Haotian had no choice but to agree. “I understand. I will first obtain your permission to see her again.”
Ken Swanson said coldly, “Not only that, you can’t leave the house. To the outside world, let them continue to think that you’re still being despised by the Mont family.”
Ming Haotian suddenly reacted. “You want to deal with the entire Murphy family?”
“You talk too much.”
Minghao Tian covered his mouth and said weakly, “I’m sorry, Brother Ken. I won’t say anything else. However, I still want to say one last thing. If you can use me, I just follow your instructions!”
“Staying at home is the best thing you can do for us.”
Melody Fox was afraid that Minghao Tian would still be as compliant as before. Before they left, they specially instructed the Mont family’s butler, “Don’t let him look for Jian Huan.”
“Don’t worry, I will take good care of Young Master.” The butler nodded repeatedly.
However, Melody Fox was indeed overthinking this time. After she and Ken Swanson left, Minghao returned to his room obediently and asked the butler to find a bunch of helpers for him to sort out his “love record” with Jian Huan.
She didn’t look like she was going to sleep or tidy up.
It was only when the butler forced him to rest that he returned to his room and lay down.
It was already very late at night. However, when Minghao closed his eyes, the scene of Jian Huan slandering him flashed through his mind.
He scratched his head in frustration, wishing he could take revenge on Jian Huan right now.
But in the end, he suppressed the urge in his heart.
Brother Ken was right. He really could not help them at all now. As long as he did not cause trouble, he would be considered to have helped them.
He should stay at home obediently.
On the other side.
On the way back to the hotel, Ken Swanson asked Ming Haotian about his health.
Melody Fox patted the back of his hand comfortingly and said, “He’s fine. Just adjust his schedule.”
“Are you sure? He’s as thin as a stick.”
“You don’t even believe in my medical skills?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but after all, with Jian Huan’s illness, he’s so thin that he doesn’t look human…”
“Don’t worry. At first, I had the same guess as you. I even thought that he had taken something he shouldn’t have. It was only when I took his pulse just now that I realized that this guy had lost weight purely because of his irregular diet and schedule. He only drank and didn’t eat. In other words, he had lost weight purely because he had fallen out of love.”
Ken Swanson took a while to digest this strange news.
Melody Fox laughed hoarsely and said, “He’s too innocent. No wonder you said that he’s not bad by nature. Such an innocent person can’t be too bad.”
However, Ken Swanson was very vengeful.
“But he wanted to give you to Jane.”
Melody Fox shrugged and said, “That’s why I said that he’s too naive. He might think that if he handed me over to Janet Murphy, I would at most be beaten up…”
Little did she know that Janet Murphy wanted to skin her alive.
Ken Swanson tightened his grip on her hand.
“I won’t let her hurt you.”
“I know. I’m not someone to be trifled with, am I?”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, seeing the love in each other’s eyes.
She suddenly thought of the kiss that she had forcefully interrupted just now and could not help but ask, “You were at the Mont family just now… Why did you suddenly go crazy?”
Ken Swanson gave her a sideways glance. There was a hint of grievance in his tone.
“It’s because you’re too good to other men.”
Melody Fox could not react in time and asked, “What?”
Ken Swanson looked at her and said slowly, “Isn’t 2 million dollars good enough?”
Only then did Melody Fox realize that Ken Swanson was trying to explain about Yiheng.
“I’m just investing in him…” Melody Fox quickly explained, “That 2 million dollars is his signing fee.”
“A signing fee…” Ken Swanson looked at her deeply and said, “It’s rare to see a student who’s still in school receiving a huge signing fee of 2 million dollars. Although he’s a student at Insterimond University, there are still many graduates who have graduated from Insterimond University and are working for one thousand dollars.”
“That’s because he’s worth this price. Ken Swanson. Believe me, we’re really just cooperating. There’s nothing else. Don’t be angry about this. At most, you’ll be the one to contact him in the future. I can stop contacting him.”
Ken Swanson smiled bitterly and said, “Do you think that’s what I care about? How can I not know if you have feelings for him other than cooperation? It’s not to the extent that I don’t even trust you.”
Then what about you?”
Ken Swanson opened his mouth, but in the end, he only said, “It’s fine. Let’s not talk about this anymore. In the future, I’ll be in charge of liaising with Ming Yiheng. Give me his contact information.”
Chapter 919
Melody Fox naturally agreed.
After giving Ming Yiheng’s contact information to Ken Swanson, she asked again, “You didn’t misunderstand my relationship with Ming Yiheng. Then why are you angry?”
Ken Swanson did not say anything. He pursed his lips and looked out of the car window.
He wasn’t angry. He just felt suffocated.
Melody Fox’s abnormal attention to Ming Yiheng. He knew that it had nothing to do with love, but her abnormality reminded him of something wrong with her.
He always felt that Melody Fox had a huge secret, but before Melody Fox wanted to say it, he did not want to force her to say it.
However, the more he held it in, the more he wanted to know.
The two emotions intertwined in his mind, which was why he had the urge to kiss her without caring if anyone saw it in the Mont family.
“Say something, don’t be silent…”
Melody Fox grabbed Ken Swanson’s hand and forced him to look at him.
Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox’s helpless expression and his heart could not help but ache. In an instant, all his curiosity and secrets were thrown to the back of his mind.
He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her deeply.
This was the woman he loved, the woman he would never change once he set his mind on her.
Even if she had a huge mystery and secret, he would never let go of a woman.
The kiss deepened.
Melody Fox quickly became dizzy.
Ken Swanson’s kissing skills… seemed to be getting better and better.
Soon, she was unwilling to remain passive. She hugged Ken Swanson’s neck and kissed him back.
The car had already raised the tailgate when the two of them were talking. The tailgate isolated some images and sounds, so there was no need to worry that Spencer would hear or see anything.
Hence, she boldly pressed down on his shoulder with one hand and sat on his lap.
Ken Swanson instantly felt a tightness in his throat.
His Melody… had never taken the initiative like this before!
Soon, Ken Swanson found the reason. He smelled fruit wine on her.
He remembered!
At the Mont family, she casually took a sip of the Mont family’s water.
It wasn’t water in the glass, but fruit wine! the Mont family, he had started his business in fruit wine!
No wonder…
“Hold me tight, don’t fall!”
She was straddling his legs now. If she didn’t lose some of her weight, she would fall back.
He simply pulled her hand to his waist and said in a low voice, “Did you hear that? Hold tight and don’t move or go down.”
Ken Swanson looked down at her. His mind was clear, but his gaze was like a hungry wolf meeting its prey.
He could no longer control himself. He kissed her lips forcefully and gently, carefully and lovingly.
How could a hot-blooded man like him reject the initiative of his beloved woman?!
Who could refuse!
Melody Fox hugged Ken Swanson’s waist tightly.
In her drunken state, she was always exceptionally bold!
Moreover, her facial features seemed to have been magnified. Even the way Ken Swanson looked at her made her feel that his gaze was even gentler than those of the most docile pet dogs.
Call…ll
After experiencing the affair between a man and a woman, she was no longer at a loss like last time when she was drunk.
Her hands around his waist instantly became unruly.
At first, it was just a light caress through a thin layer of shirt material, but soon, she began to move down his straight spine, down, and forward.
The touch of his well-defined abdominal muscles gave her two hands a huge sense of satisfaction. However, she was not satisfied with just that. She continued to feel his sexy and secret V-line…
It was so hot.
It was so hot that her face turned red.
Just as she was about to touch the lightning pool, Ken Swanson grabbed her hand.
“Wake up. If you continue to go overboard, I don’t care if you’ll be angry when you wake up tomorrow.”
He knew very well that Melody Fox had already crossed the line. It was all thanks to his strong willpower that he could continue sitting steadily.
However, this kind of willpower could cause the world to collapse.
However, Melody Fox ignored him and looked up at him with watery eyes.
She seemed to be begging.
Others said that Melody Fox was not good-looking, but just her eyes alone were enough to make his heart race.
He loved her eyes. Looking into them was like seeing her pure, charismatic soul.
And now, this pair of eyes was staring straight at him.
“Damn it…”
He spat, but she couldn’t tell if he was cursing her or himself.
“Melody Fox.”
He held her face and brushed away the hair on her forehead. His eyes were deep as he said, “You took the initiative. After you wake up, don’t say that I bullied you!”
Melody Fox’s answer was a kiss.
Ken Swanson finally couldn’t hold it in and kissed him back forcefully.
He really couldn’t be considered taking advantage of her.
The passion in the car was stirred, but there was a cold wind outside the car.
The strong winds soon brought rain.
The heavy downpour came suddenly. The windshield wipers were busy, but Spencer still could not see the road ahead clearly.
As a last resort, he slowed the car, dropping from eighty to thirty.
Originally, there were still ten minutes before the hotel opened. Now, it seemed that they had to open at least half an hour.
Spencer hesitated for a moment and wanted to tell Ken Swanson who was behind the car.
However, looking at the raised partition, he still didn’t have the courage to continue driving.
In any case, if Sir felt that he was driving too slowly, he would definitely remind him.
It is served by the Airport of Insterimond.
The heavy rain caused a layer of fog to rise from the ground, blocking one’s vision.
Daoist, who had changed into his usual clothes, got out of the taxi and ran towards the airport.
At this point, there were very few people at the airport.
The fake Monk was not in a hurry, because there were still four flights left. It was still very early, and the check-in procedures at the counter had not even been completed.
He ran his fingers through his rain-soaked hair and was just about to find a place to sit down when his mouth was suddenly covered by a cloth soaked in potion.
“Oh… save (life)…”
Call 37 3…
Before he could say the word “life”, he lost all consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a hotel room.
“W-where is this?!”
He sat up abruptly on the sofa, only to find that his legs were shackled to one of the legs on the sofa.
“Guards! Let go of me! Who are you?! What do you want?!”
“You’re awake?”
A voice without any warmth came from behind.
Monk turned sharply to see a man with a long scar across his face sitting smoking a cigarette.
Beside him stood two men in suits. They were both tall and strong.
The fake Monk’s heart leaped to his throat.
His body trembled violently as he realized that he had been kidnapped.
But… which family kidnapped him?
Did the Murphy family kidnap him because he was afraid that he would reveal the truth? Or did 464 dollars05 suddenly go back on his word and want to avenge his dead son?
However, no matter which family he landed in, he seemed to be doomed.
However, even if he died, he had to die in peace!
“W…-Who are you?”
Chapter 920
After saying that, the Daoist realized that his voice was completely hoarse. The voice he spoke was no different from the cry of an oracle.
“My, my throat… What did you smell for me? Is it poison?”
Aaron Berg sneered and shook his head.
“If I wanted your life, do you think you could still open your eyes now?”
Daoist’s rapidly beating heart finally calmed down a little.
“Who are you people?!” he asked again.
Aaron Berg took two steps forward and said, “You don’t need to know who we are. You just need to know that as long as you stay here obediently for the next few days, nothing will happen. Not only that, we will also provide you with good food and drinks.”
Monk was horrified and confused.
“What do you want?”
“You’ll know when it’s time. But don’t worry, we can’t be bothered to take your cheap life.”
After Aaron Berg finished speaking, he left his two subordinates behind and left.
His mission was only to personally bring this Daoist priest here and leave the rest to his subordinates.
When Aaron Berg went out to the hotel where Melody Fox and Ken Swanson were, Spencer finally drove the car safely to the hotel entrance.
“Phew-“
Spencer heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and realized that the partition had not been lowered.
What… were the two of them doing?
Why didn’t they scold him when he drove so slowly?
Something’s not right…
However, Spencer didn’t dare to think too much about it. After parking the car in the hotel’s underground garage, he respectfully reached out and knocked on the car door.
“Sir, Miss Fox has arrived.”
There was no movement inside.
Spencer was puzzled. In the end, he mustered his courage and opened the car door.
She saw Miss Fox sleeping with her eyes closed. Sir was hugging her and seemed to be about to open the car door.
It turned out that Miss Fox was asleep.
“Sir? Miss Fox she…”
“Shh.”
Ken Swanson gestured for Spencer to move aside and walked out of the car with Melody Fox in his arms.
Spencer hurriedly closed the car door and chased after him. He rushed
to the elevator door before Ken Swanson and pressed the elevator button in advance.
No one came to the hotel room. Spencer was about to leave when he was stopped by Ken Swanson.
“You’re doing great.
“Huh?”
Spencer was stunned. He thought it was about the elevator. He scratched his head happily and embarrassedly and said, “This is what I should do.”
However, in the next second, Ken Swanson said coldly, “Next time. I won’t open the door. Don’t open the door on your own.”
He was just one minute away from buttoning Melody Fox.
However, the speed of the car tonight was very impressive.
Therefore, merits and mistakes were offset. There were no punishments or rewards.
However, Spencer had no idea what was going on. After replying with a “yes”, he left in confusion.
Not long after Spencer left, Aaron Berg knocked on the door.
After explaining to the Daoist priest, Aaron Berg asked hesitantly, “Sir, as far as I know, Miss Fox has already obtained the Green Velvet and the supplementary potions. Are you still going to the Liu couple tomorrow?”
The Liu couple, who had won the Green Velvet medicine at the last auction,
Mrs. Liu was seriously ill, but her illness did not need the Green Velvet medicine. Therefore, they agreed with Ken Swanson that as long as Melody Fox could treat his wife, they would give them the Green Velvet medicine for free.
Of course, the Liu couple did not trust Melody Fox’s medical skills. They did not even know who Melody Fox was. They trusted Ken Swanson.
Ken Swanson massaged his temples with a headache.
“If I had known…”
If Melody Fox could be cured, it would be the most convenient thing to do. The Liu family had a lot of assets and had always been working closely with the Swanson Group.
It was a good thing to be able to rope them in.
However, what gave him a headache was that he only found out tonight that Mrs. Liu’s illness was extraordinary. She seemed to be on the verge of death.
Such a person could immediately win the hearts of the Liu family if he was cured. However, if he could not be cured, he might offend them instead.
The Liu family… There were so many people with the surname Liu, but only this Liu family dared to call themselves the ” Liu of Insterimond family”.
“Go back and wait for the news. I’ll ask Melody tomorrow. Also, when their plane lands, send someone to investigate Madam Liu’s
situation. Only report when you understand.”
“Yes!” Aaron Berg replied and turned to leave.
In the room, Melody Fox’s eyelids twitched. He clearly heard the conversation between Aaron Berg and Ken Swanson.
When she heard Ken Swanson closing the door and walking towards the bedroom, she immediately closed her eyes.
Perhaps because the fruit wine was not powerful enough, she woke up not long after her head touched the hotel pillow.
The memories of the car… were still vivid in her mind.
To be honest, she had never had such a shameful and unspeakable memory in her life.
Hence, after some thought, she decided to pretend to be asleep.
“Phew…” He didn’t know if this level of snoring was enough.
However, what she did not know was that Ken Swanson felt that she was pretending to be asleep as soon as he entered.
After all, she never snored…
However, Ken Swanson did not expose him.
He knew that she was thin-skinned.
However, from the looks of it, she still had her memories from the car.
Ken Swanson smirked and pulled the blanket away in amusement. Then, he pulled her into his arms.
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep. Melody Fox, who was pretending to be asleep, was abnormally awake.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Melody Fox woke up with dark circles under her eyes.
Ken Swanson glanced at her and smiled meaningfully.
“Huh? Didn’t you sleep earlier than me last night? Why are your dark circles so dark?”
“…Hehe, I don’t know either. Maybe I have dark circles under my eyes. This has something to do with the melanin content in a person’s body.”
Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox who was spouting nonsense in all seriousness. He held back his laughter and said seriously, “I have something to tell you. The Liu couple I told you about before…”
After listening, Melody Fox was silent for a moment before asking, “You said that they are very important to the Swanson Group? Then if you rope them in, won’t it be very beneficial to you?”
“Yes. But… I’m afraid it’s a little risky.”
“The greater the risk, the greater the chance.” Melody Fox looked straight at Ken Swanson and said, “I want to give it a try.”
“I understand.” Ken Swanson nodded and called Aaron Berg over.
“Have you found out what illness his wife has?”
Aaron Berg lowered his head guiltily and nervously.
“I’m sorry, sir, but their men are keeping a tight watch and I’m afraid of being discovered, so…”
“Nothing?”
“Yes, yes. They’re currently in the Inpatient Department of Insterimond First Hospital. They’re guarding it tightly. Even the nurses who weren’t on duty that day didn’t leave the hospital. We really can’t get any news.”
When Ken Swanson heard this, his expression became even more solemn.
Melody Fox suddenly said, “Is it that outsiders can’t go in there, but the doctor can?”
“Yes, it is.”
Melody Fox raised his eyelids and looked at Ken Swanson. “Before I left, Rodney Stanton asked me to help him operate on a friend. If I remember correctly, that friend of his is hospitalized at First Hospital in Insterimond.”
Chapter 921
Ken Swanson listened to Melody Fox’s words and asked, “You mean you want to not reveal your identity and directly treat her?”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “Because you said that her identity is special, she can only succeed and not fail. Therefore, without knowing what the other party’s illness is, we can only use this method.”
Ken Swanson was silent for a moment before saying, “This method works, but have you contacted Rodney Stanton?”
“Not yet. I thought I told him that I would go again if I had free time. I didn’t schedule the time specifically. How about this? If you don’t have any problems, we’ll book it directly after lunch?. It’s only past eight in the morning. It’s still early. Let’s go over early so that there won’t be any delays. Even the medical staff won’t be able to enter.”
“Sure, but I definitely can’t go with you. The Liu couple knows me. Do you want to bring Aaron Berg or Spencer?”
“Neither. It’s easy to attract attention if there are too many people. Besides, the Liu couple are not ordinary people. Perhaps there are experts around them who recognize Aaron Berg and the others? Even if they don’t, they can tell that they’re not medical personnel.”
“But leaving you alone…”
“Don’t worry, I can protect myself.”
However, before she left, Ken Swanson stopped her.
“What’s wrong?” Melody Fox had just asked when his earlobe suddenly felt warm.
Ken Swanson’s fingers gently pinched her earlobe.
“What are you doing…”.
She blushed and wanted to step back.
Aaron Berg and Spencer were standing at the side and watching!
However, Ken Swanson pulled her back and continued to fiddle with her ears as if no one was around.
Soon, Ken Swanson let go and said, “Done.”
Melody Fox subconsciously reached out to touch his ear and realized that it was an ear stud.
The shape of this earring… Melody Fox suddenly remembered that she had once seen this earring on Charlotte Wallrich’s body. When Charlotte Wallrich used this earring to cheat during the written test in Herbathrive.
She realized that she had misunderstood Ken Swanson and blushed again. She covered her nose awkwardly and coughed dryly. “Didn’t you say that this product was easy to infringe on, so the company destroyed it collectively?”
“I’m not selling it. Can’t I use it myself?”
As Ken Swanson spoke, he brushed the hair on her forehead and said, “If there’s any danger, press it hard. I can immediately lock onto your IP address and see the scene around you.”
***
“Yes, don’t worry. There won’t be any danger. I’m going to the hospital, not the battlefield. You really like to dawdle more and more.”
Melody Fox said disdainfully, but he felt waves of gentleness in his heart.
Ken Swanson leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Go. I have to go to Li Ming’s house too.”
Melody Fox asked in confusion, “You didn’t see her yesterday?”
“I saw Li Ming, but I didn’t see his wife. However, his wife suddenly sent me a post today and asked me to attend her family’s banquet at noon.”
“Eating at home… I still have to post?”
“Yes, it’s quite formal.”
Melody Fox became nervous and said, “Why don’t you wait for me to settle the hospital’s matters before going? She knows the Gu worm technique in Miaojiang. I’m worried if you go alone.”
Ken Swanson laughed and said, “Just now, you said that I was dawdling. Aren’t you the same? Don’t worry, with her current ability, she doesn’t dare to attack me openly. Otherwise, she will undoubtedly expose her true colors in advance.”
Melody Fox was slightly relieved and said, “Then I’ll look for you as soon as I’m done.”
“Okay.”
Ken Swanson rubbed her head and opened the car door for her. “Get in, Princess.”
Melody Fox glared at him and bowed as he got into the car. However, he felt sweet inside.
On the way, Melody Fox called Rodney Stanton and went straight to the point. “Rodney Stanton, I have free time now to visit the friend you mentioned to me before.”
“Ah! That’s great!” Rodney Stanton said happily, “He even called me last night and said that his condition is getting worse and worse. He wants to take the doctor-patient helicopter to Silverlake to look for me. Now that you’re there, he doesn’t have to go through so much trouble.”
“Yes.” Melody Fox nodded. He quickly realized that Rodney Stanton could not see it, so he continued, “I’m on my way to Insterimond’s First Hospital. I need you to connect with the people over there so that it’s easier for me to treat your friend.”
“That’s easy. I’ve already informed him in advance. I used to take care of a disciple. He’s now my friend’s attending physician. He’ll pick you up at the entrance of the inpatient department.”
“Alright, then give him another call. I can be there in about half an hour.”
“No problem! Thank you, Miss Fox.”
“You’re treating me like an outsider again. Haven’t you helped me enough? Let’s not talk about this between us.”
Rodney Stanton was touched and replied forcefully, “Yes!”
After the call ended, Melody Fox put down his phone and closed his eyes to take a nap.
She was really incompetent when it came to alcohol. Even now, her head hurt a little.
Fortunately, after catching up on half of his sleep, the headache finally dissipated.
The driver, Aaron Berg, and Spencer were left behind at the hotel. They are assigned to check Melody Fox’s condition through the computer and the ear studs in Melody Fox’s ears.
When the car arrived at the hospital parking lot, Aaron Berg said, “Miss Fox, I’ll wait for you in the car. Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
Melody Fox did not decline.
Although she felt that Ken Swanson was a little too cautious, it was an eventful period now. There was no harm in being more vigilant.
Melody Fox tidied up his attire before getting out of the car and walking towards the entrance of the inpatient department.
From afar, Melody Fox saw two teams of bodyguards in suits guarding the entrance of the inpatient department.
These bodyguards all had dark skin, were tall and strong, and had a murderous aura. It was as if they had seen real swords and guns before.
To be able to hire such bodyguards and have so many of them, it was enough to show that the Liu couple was indeed extraordinary.
However, Melody Fox had heard Ken Swanson mention that Mrs. Liu was a foreigner.
Melody Fox observed the number of bodyguards as he approached the entrance of the inpatient department.
Just as she was about to walk up the steps of the inpatient department, a bodyguard standing at the front took a few steps forward with a dark expression and said in broken Mandarin, “No one is allowed to enter here now!”
“I’m not an idler. I’m a doctor here.”
“Doctor? You? Let me see your ID!”
‘I don’t have any papers, but my colleague will vouch for me!
“Where’s your colleague?”
“He…-“
Melody Fox raised her head and looked inside. He saw that the hall on the first floor was empty. Not to mention the disciple Rodney Stanton mentioned on the phone, he could not even see a ghost.
“Hold on, let me make a call.”
The black bodyguard said fiercely, “You’d better be telling the truth! Otherwise… I’ll teach you a lesson!”
The bodyguard spoke in his native language. It was obvious that he was getting impatient.
“Don’t worry, he’ll be out soon,” Melody Fox replied in their own language.
Chapter 922
She actually knew their language?!
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, but he saw that her expression was not as ugly as before.
Melody Fox ignored the other party’s attitude and quickly dialed Rodney Stanton’s number.
Fortunately, Rodney Stanton quickly picked up her call.
However, before Melody Fox could ask, Rodney Stanton spoke first, “Miss Fox, my friend suddenly fell into a coma. His condition is not good! Where are you? Are you at the hospital?”
Melody Fox immediately understood why Rodney Stanton’s disciple was not waiting for her at the door. Something must have happened to Rodney Stanton’s friend, making him unable to come downstairs.
But now she couldn’t get in without him.
Melody Fox could only say, “If he really can’t leave, can you ask him to get someone to come down and pick me up? There are people guarding this side now. Someone inside has to prove that I’m a doctor for me before they can let me in.”
The situation was urgent. Rodney Stanton did not ask what the situation was in detail. He agreed and hung up.
About five or six minutes later, a young female doctor ran out.
“Dr. Fox? Which one is Dr. Fox?”
“It’s me!” Melody Fox raised his hand.
When the other party saw this, he was stunned. He frowned and walked forward. He asked suspiciously, “You’re Dr. Fox?”
“If I’m not mistaken, I’m Melody Fox.”
The female doctor remembered that the director had indeed said that the other party’s name was Melody Fox, but she did not expect him to be so young.
She had thought that the department director was already the youngest among the amazing doctors. She did not expect that this person who could be called a “miracle doctor” by the department director was even younger than the department director!
After thinking about it, the female doctor did not bring Melody Fox indirectly. Instead, she said forcefully, “Show me your identity card!”
Although Melody Fox was unhappy, he didn’t want to waste time, so she handed over her identity card without saying a word.
The female doctor looked at her ID card and finally believed that she was Melody Fox.
However, although this woman was ugly, her eyes… were a little foxy!
One could imagine that if her face was normal, just her eyes alone would be attractive enough.
Looking at Melody Fox’s clothes, just her short-sleeved shirt alone… was worth two months of her salary.
He Xiangxiang, who came from a mediocre family, hated every peer who was better than her equally.
He Xiangxiang noticed the six-figure shoes on Melody Fox’s feet, and her heart instantly broke.
She liked to wear expensive things so much. He wondered if she was really from a good family or if she liked to accept gifts from patients!
He Xiangxiang tried her best to suppress her displeasure and said, “You’re really Melody Fox… My name is He Xiangxiang, Chief Physician Yu’s assistant. Come in with me!”
Her attitude changed drastically, and she stopped calling her “Dr. Fox”.
However, Melody Fox had never cared about these empty titles, so he did not lower himself to her level.
“Hello…” He Xiangxiang walked towards the bodyguard and said in the language of the country of bodyguards, “She’s a doctor we called over to help. Although she’s not an important person, she was called over by our Director Yu, after all, so please do us a favor.”
The bodyguard looked at Melody Fox, then looked at He Xiangxiang. After saying, “Wait a moment,” he went to the side to make a call.
The bodyguard walked back and said, “Since you’re Doctor Yu’s guest, please go in.”
The other party was still speaking in his country’s language.
Without waiting for Melody Fox to speak, He Xiangxiang said first, “You don’t understand, do you? He means that he agrees to let you in.”
Melody Fox took a deep look at He Xiangxiang. In the end, she averted her gaze and did not respond to He Xiangxiang’s words. Instead, she said to the bodyguard in an extremely standard pronunciation, “Thank you. You’ve worked hard.”
After saying that, she walked towards the inpatient department under He Xiangxiang’s dumbfounded gaze.
After walking a few meters in, she realized that He Xiangxiang was still standing rooted to the ground in shock. She couldn’t help but turn around and urge, “Aren’t you going to lead the way?”
He Xiangxiang suddenly came back to her senses and ran forward to lead the way with a flushed face.
On the way, neither of them spoke until they arrived at the 19th floor of the inpatient department. He Xiangxiang finally calmed down and said, “The patient has already entered the resuscitation room. I’ll bring you to the director’s office first.”
“Yeah.”
He Xiangxiang looked at Melody Fox’s cold expression and the unknown anger in her heart rose again.
What was going on? She had already taken the initiative to give her a way out, but this ugly woman still did not give her a good look!
Who did she think she was?
She did not believe that this woman could turn the situation around when Mr. Ou was in such a dangerous situation.
He Xiangxiang was filled with anger as she walked faster and faster. However, she realized that no matter how fast she walked, the other party seemed to be able to catch up easily.
When they reached Dr. Yu’s office, He Xiangxiang was already panting.
“Dr. Herbert? Did you bring Dr. Fox with you?”
Yu Leyou was in the midst of customizing a surgery plan. When he saw He Xiangxiang enter, he hurriedly asked.
“I did, but she-*
He Xiangxiang was about to say, “But she doesn’t look like a person with superb medical skills,” when Melody Fox pushed her aside and walked into the office. “Tell me the latest information about the patient. I want all the values you have and his previous medical records.”
“Dr. Fox?” Yu Leyou’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw Melody Fox.
His master had mentioned Melody Fox’s “great achievements” to him many times. He had long wanted to meet him in person. Now that he saw him in person… Although he was a little surprised by his appearance, the admiration in his heart did not decrease at all.
“Everyone, this is the miracle doctor I mentioned to you, Miss Melody Fox.”
The other doctors looked at Melody Fox in amazement. It was as if she was a rare panda.
He Xiangxiang paused and frowned.
She did not like the way Doctor Yu looked at Melody Fox.
Doctor Yu… was hers!
…
There were very few female cardiologists in their hospital, and she was the youngest. In early years, she was taken care of the most by male doctors. Now that she saw everyone surrounding Melody Fox years old, one could imagine the difference.
However, she could not understand why Doctor Yu’s eyes could still light up when he looked at her when this person called Melody Fox was so ugly.
She was clearly the one who was called the goddess of the inpatient department.
However, no one noticed He Xiangxiang’s thoughts at all. Melody Fox didn’t even greet Yu Leyou officially. He said, “Let’s not talk about that first. How’s the patient’s condition?”
Yu Leyou quickly recovered from his excitement and reported the patient’s condition to Melody Fox.
Melody Fox read the medical records while listening to Yu Leyou’s report. He quickly came to a conclusion-
“He must undergo a heart transplant immediately.”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the office looked troubled.
The corners of He Xiangxiang’s lips curled up. She took two steps forward and said, “I’m afraid Doctor Fox didn’t see clearly when he looked at the medical record just now. Mr. Ou has already undergone two valve replacement operations. His heart has long been riddled with holes. If he undergoes a third valve replacement, not to mention whether he can reach it technically, it’s hard to say if his body can last until the surgery ends.”
Melody Fox looked at He Xiangxiang expressionlessly.
“You’re not going to perform the surgery just because there’s a risk? Are you just going to let the patient wait for death?”
Chapter 923
He Xiangxiang’s expression darkened. “That’s not what I meant. What I mean is that we should formulate a few more plans first. When the patient’s family members arrive, we’ll let them choose one of the plans themselves. If anything really happens, we won’t have to bear too much responsibility.”
Melody Fox asked bluntly, “So you don’t want to take responsibility, so you rejected what I said just now about immediately undergoing the valve replacement surgery?”
“You, don’t misinterpret my meaning on purpose!”
“Then what do you mean?”
Melody Fox pressed on step by step. He Xiangxiang became anxious and said directly, “Alright, I admit that I’m indeed afraid that the Ou family will hold me accountable! That’s why I deliberately wanted to research a few more surgical plans to delay until their family members appear.”
“But do you know? Mr. Ou is not an ordinary person. Do you know what his identity is?”
“He has more than half of the import and export business in his hands. He’s a true foreign trade tycoon! Moreover, I heard that his market overseas is even bigger than domestically. Many big shots overseas have to act according to his wishes.”
“Right now, his family hasn’t even signed a waiver yet, and you’re already going to perform such a high-risk surgery like a valve replacement surgery. If anything happens to him during the surgery, our entire department will be buried with him! Of course, you’re a foreigner, so you don’t have to be afraid, but we still have to continue working here! Have you considered our lives?!”
The entire department fell into silence.
He Xiangxiang’s words had indeed touched the hearts of most of the people present.
Mr. Ou’s status was extraordinary, second only to Mrs. Liu, who had just entered the inpatient department last night.
Now, Mr. Ou had suddenly fallen into a coma, but none of his family members were around. If his family members were around, it would be fine if they signed a disclaimer agreement, but now that they were not around, wouldn’t they be causing trouble for themselves if they immediately carried out the surgery?
Although they did not want anything to happen to Mr. Ou, the family members did not sign a waiver agreement. Who would dare to operate on him?
Melody Fox’s gaze swept across everyone present. He realized that other than Rodney Stanton’s disciple, everyone else had their heads lowered as if they wanted to find a hole to hide in.
“Alright, I understand.” Melody Fox suddenly said, “Doctor Yu, right? Go get me a pen and paper.
Yu Leyou hurriedly handed over a pen and paper while introducing himself, “My name is Yu Leyou, you can call me Leyou.
After introducing himself, he asked, “What do you need a pen and paper for?”
“Write a waiver.”
“Huh? Why are you writing a waiver for Mr. Ou? Only direct family members can…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Melody Fox had already finished writing.
He took a closer look and finally understood what Melody Fox meant by “exemption letter”.
It was not an exemption letter written by Mr. Ou’s family, but an exemption letter written by Melody Fox on behalf of their department.
It was clearly written that if anything happened to the patient, the responsibility would be Melody Fox alone. It had nothing to do with all the medical staff in the department.
He was stunned for a long time before he realized that Melody Fox had taken all the responsibility alone.
“Dr. Fox, you…
“There’s no need to say anything else. Please help me prepare the operating theater immediately.”
Yu Leyou felt a warmth in his chest. He suddenly remembered that he had just received medical treatment and the passion in his heart.
But as the number of jobs increased, the enthusiasm seemed to have been wound up and changed from enthusiasm to routine.
Becoming a doctor was no longer for the so-called ideals. It had become a job without temperature.
“Alright! I’ll prepare the operating theater immediately!”
Yu Leyou responded and called two doctors to make arrangements.
He Xiangxiang was even more speechless and couldn’t help but complain to the doctor beside her.
“I think she’s crazy. Does she really not know what kind of ruthless person Mr. Ou is? He’s involved in both the black and white paths both domestically and overseas. This is not just for show. If something really happens, can she compensate for Mr. Ou’s life alone?”
He Xiangxiang complained for a while, but she realized that the doctor did not respond to her at all.
She could not help but look at the doctor and saw that he was staring straight at Melody Fox. Her eyes seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and he was worshipping him more and more.
Damn it…
He Xiangxiang gritted her teeth in anger.
Pretend! She would pretend to be calm! When something really happened, she would probably cry!
Moreover, under such circumstances, no one dared to be her assistant. Even the anesthetist would not dare to appear. How could she complete a difficult valve replacement surgery alone?
Moreover, she had already said that this was not Mr. Ou’s first time performing this surgery.
A person’s body was like the battery of a phone. A surgery was like a game that consumed electricity. It would consume a lot of battery.
Mr. Ou only had less than 10% of his battery left, and his body had already turned red.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult to guarantee that the “electricity” would be exhausted before the surgery was completed.
This ugly freak was probably a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. She had seen her identity card. This ugly freak was two years younger than her. It was hard to guarantee that she was not trying to be a hero because of her background or because of the benefits of the Ou family.
But the hospital was not a place to be a hero!
As He Xiangxiang thought about this, her mood suddenly improved.
She sneered and said, “Melody Fox, I advise you to think it through. Once this surgery goes on, not only will Mr. Ou’s life and death be unknown, but your future will also be unpredictable.”
Melody Fox crossed her arms and looked at He Xiangxiang expressionlessly.
“I’ve already signed this agreement. Whether Mr. Ou can be saved or not, it has nothing to do with you. Why are you still talking so much?”
“You-“
He Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said, “A dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness! When the surgery fails, I’ll see how you explain it to the Ou family! If that time comes, we won’t help you share the responsibility! We’ve already advised you what needs to be advised. Don’t blame us for reminding you first!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t blame you. Besides, the success rate of this surgery is very high for me.”
He Xiangxiang was completely amused.
“A high success rate? Even our Chief Physician Yu thinks that this surgery is very dangerous. Do you actually have the cheek to say that the success rate is high? You’re exposing your lack of medical skills, right? I’ll say this today. If you can successfully complete the surgery, my name will be written backward!”
“He Xiangxiang! That’s enough!”
Yu Leyou couldn’t take it anymore and said, “You’ve been very disrespectful to Dr. Fox from the very beginning. What’s wrong with you? I’ve never seen you so unforgiving when it comes to flattening. What’s wrong with you today?”
He had long wanted to scold He Xiangxiang, but scolding her would only delay their surgery.
But now, if he didn’t scold He Xiangxiang, she would probably say even worse things and make Dr. Fox unhappy.
However, He Xiangxiang was even angrier after being reprimanded by her “beloved” Doctor Yu. With a livid expression, she said, “I’m fine. I’m normal. I just don’t agree with what she said about immediately undergoing the surgery.”
Chapter 924
When Yu Leyou heard He Xiangxiang’s words, he had an incomprehensible expression on his face.
He didn’t understand why He Xiangxiang, who had always been serious and responsible in front of him, had suddenly become an unreasonable person.
Yu Leyou was thoroughly enraged.
“You don’t agree? What right do you have to disagree? In order for the patient to receive surgery, she wrote a disclaimer and took all the risks alone. What else do you want her to do?”
He Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said, “Director, you only saw the superficial work she did and didn’t think deeper?”
“What do you mean?”
He Xiangxiang raised her hand and pointed at Melody Fox’s nose. “That’s right. She wrote a disclaimer, but have you thought about what kind of person Mr. Ou is? If something really happens to him, will the Ou family only deal with her?
From the moment you asked me to bring her in, she was in the same boat as us. If she caused trouble, none of us would be able to escape!
“Rather than letting Mr. Ou die on the operating table, it’s better to just die in the ward. Our responsibility will be smaller…”
This was what He Xiangxiang was most worried about. It was also one of the main reasons why she disregarded her image and obstructed Melody Fox in front of Yu Leyou.
“Are you done?”
Yu Leyou’s expression was cold as he said, “If you’re done, then go home.”
He Xiangxiang was stunned.
“Home… What do you mean?”
Yu Leyou coldly met He Xiangxiang’s gaze and said, “If you don’t understand, I’ll repeat it one last time. He Xiangxiang, your condition today isn’t suitable for work. Go home and rest now!”
He Xiangxiang widened her eyes in disbelief.
“You’re kicking me out for her?”
“What do you mean for her… I’m not doing it for anyone. I just feel that you’re not in a good state to continue staying here today.”
“Director!!” He Xiangxiang’s eyes turned red. It was unknown if she was aggrieved, angry, or both.
Yu Leyou didn’t even look at He Xiangxiang. He turned to look at the others in the department and said, “Is there anyone else like her who feels that their condition isn’t good and can’t participate in Mr. Ou’s surgery? Pack your things and go back to rest with He Xiangxiang immediately!”
He Xiangxiang’s eyelids trembled.
So that was what Yu Leyou meant…
Was he trying to protect her?
That was true. As long as everyone in the department went back to rest “due to illness,” the Ou family would not be able to pursue the responsibility of so many people.
The grievance in He Xiangxiang’s heart instantly dissipated, replaced by a pair of bright eyes that stared straight at Yu Leyou.
But soon, He Xiangxiang became puzzled again.
If Yu Leyou really felt sorry for them and didn’t want them to be implicated, why didn’t he directly stop Melody Fox’s plan to carry out the surgery immediately?
Just as He Xiangxiang couldn’t figure it out, three doctors from the same department slowly stood up.
“Department Director Yu, we…”
Yu Leyou’s gaze swept across the three of them.
Among the three of them, other than a male doctor who was close to He Xiangxiang, one of them was a female doctor who was about to give birth in two months, and the other was a male doctor with a very heavy family burden.
Considering their personal circumstances, Yu Leyou said, “You two can go back first.”
The two of them nodded guiltily and quickly left the office.
“Is there anyone else?” Yu Leyou raised his voice. “Is there anyone else who feels uncomfortable and needs to go home?”
Everyone looked at each other and saw the determination in each other’s eyes. No one stepped forward.
Dr. Fox was a person who had nothing to do with Mr. Ou’s illness. If he had the guts to take the initiative to write an exemption letter, what reason did they have to retreat?
Moreover, although He Xiangxiang made it sound nice when the family members came, she would arrange for them to sign the papers. Wait, wait…
However, in reality, this was just a deliberate technique to delay the procedure. By the time the family members arrived, so many hours would have been wasted. Mr. Ou would have long been powerless to reverse the situation.
Although they were afraid that the Ou family would cause trouble, most of them were unwilling to see the patient die in vain.
Although the risk of the surgery was high, if it dragged on like this, he would definitely die.
Dr. Fox’s decision was actually extremely correct. It was just that they did not dare to take this step at the beginning.
The appearance of Melody Fox made them determined to save the patient.
Being a doctor was not just a profession!
After the two of them left, the remaining male doctor saw that no one else walked forward. He immediately felt complicated.
However, when he looked at He Xiangxiang, he suddenly felt courageous.
He mustered his courage and asked, “Director Yu, then Xiangxiang and I…”
“From now on, you and Xiangxiang Beila can apply to be transferred to another department! Give me the application tomorrow. I’ll sign it and explain the reason!”
He Xiangxiang and the male doctor’s faces suddenly turned pale.
Explain the reason… Which other department would accept them?
No wonder!
No wonder Yu Leyou did not reject Melody Fox’s plan.
He was not protecting her at all. Instead, he had completely abandoned her!
He Xiangxiang had been thinking about something different just now, but now, she suddenly understood.
However, after thinking it through, He Xiangxiang would rather not think it through herself.
She was like a frosted eggplant, looking listless and dispirited.
The male doctor was also completely flustered. He quickly changed his words and said, “Department Director Yu, don’t chase us away! I know I was wrong. I was just anxious just now. I was worried that something would happen to Mr. Ou, so I stood up. It’s not that I don’t have the courage to take responsibility…
However, Yu Leyou did not give them any room to maneuver. He said coldly, “I’ve already said that I didn’t chase you away. It’s just that you’re really not suited to be here.”
The male doctor was anxious. The cardiologist’s popularity was not for show. He did not want to be chased out just like that!
Moreover, Director Yu was the youngest among all the department directors. After he left, the other department directors would not have it as easy as him.
He hurriedly tugged at He Xiangxiang and urged, “Xiangxiang, don’t just stand there. Say something! Aren’t you Director Yu’s assistant? Hurry up and beg him with me!”
He Xiangxiang recovered slightly from the blow.
However, she was not as hysterical as the male doctor. She only looked at Yu Leyou with tears in her eyes and asked calmly, “Department Director Yu, are you really going to chase me away?”
“I’ve already repeated this more than once. My department doesn’t welcome the two of you in the future.”
Yu Leyou looked at He Xiangxiang, and her businesslike manner made He Xiangxiang’s heartache again.
She could no longer hide her inner thoughts and blurted out, “Yu Leyou, so my long-standing crush was all just wishful thinking?”
Yu Leyou was stunned. He furrowed his brows and asked, “What are you talking about?”
“I said, I like you! Don’t you like me at all?”
Yu Leyou had a ridiculous expression on his face.
“He Xiangxiang, what do you think this place is? What is it now?”
Chapter 925
The patient was in critical condition over there. The other doctors were busy preparing the operating theater. Foreign aid Miss Fox was seriously looking at the patient’s medical records and various physical data.
But He Xiangxiang was actually talking to him about a crush?
For the first time, Yu Leyou understood the meaning of the words “love brain”.
“He Xiangxiang, it’s fine to have a love brain, but even if you have a love brain, you have to consider the occasion. This isn’t a love brain anymore. You’re purely retarded!”
Yu Leyou could not help but curse.
He was only 29 years old this year, but when he was really angry, he scolded people like the old doctors did not give them any face.
However, He Xiangxiang didn’t listen to a single word. She continued, “You were so patient and gentle to me before. Whenever I am on duty you were afraid that I would be tired, so you deliberately came to the hospital to take my shift after work and let me rest.”
“I accidentally made a mistake during surgery, and you were the first to stand up and clean up after me.”
“Also, you often take the initiative to bring me breakfast… If I bump into you when I go out to eat, you’ll help me pay the bill…”
“Don’t you treat me so well because you like me too?”
As soon as he said this, even Melody Fox, who was busy, was stunned.
This was really… pure love.
Even though she claimed that she was a love-struck person in her previous life, she was nothing compared to He Xiangxiang.
Yu Leyou was a decent person. If he was like Ulric Swanson, He Xiangxiang would have been eaten up long ago.
Yu Leyou’s expression was so ugly that it looked like a storm was about to descend on his face.
He was angry and speechless. His face alternated between green and white. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and said, “I’m good to you only because you’re a doctor in our department and my assistant. It has nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman!”
“That’s impossible!” He Xiangxiang clenched her fists and retorted, “Then how do you explain what I said?”
When Yu Leyou saw that the surgery was still needed, he decided to make things clear with He Xiangxiang.
“Alright, if you want to explain, I’ll explain it to you!”
“You said that I was on duty for you because I had to write an important thesis, so I simply stayed in the hospital. I didn’t come to the hospital on purpose to be on duty for you! You’re not the only one in this. I’ve also replaced the others on duty. If you don’t believe me, you can ask.”
“If you say that the surgery went wrong, I’ll take care of the aftermath for you. Think about it with your brain. I’m your chief. If I don’t do it, who should I do it with?”
“What breakfast? Dinner will be paid for. I’ve done this to everyone in the department. That’s just because I’m richer than you guys and want to take care of you more.”
After Yu Leyou finished speaking, he took a deep breath and looked at He Xiangxiang. “I’m done explaining. Do you have anything else to say?”
He Xiangxiang’s expression changed.
At this moment, everyone in the office, including Melody Fox, was staring at her.
Their gazes were as if they were looking at a retard.
How could He Xiangxiang, who had always been the center of attention in the department, stand this?
Her eyes immediately reddened as she stomped her feet. It was unknown what she was angry about.
“You, you guys… don’t regret it!”
With that, she ran out, not knowing who she was talking to.
However, Melody Fox knew very well that she did not regret what she had said after coming to the department.
Surgery immediately was Mr. Ou’s only hope of survival.
Especially after reading Mr. Ou’s medical record, she was very confident in this surgery. She could not just watch Mr. Ou die.
“Department Director Yu…”
When the male doctor saw that He Xiangxiang had gone “crazy”, he could only brace himself and say, “I retract everything I said just now. I’m willing to participate in the surgery. Please don’t chase me away!”
“If you don’t want to be fired, get lost!”
Yu Leyou had no intention of giving in at all. The male doctor was so frightened that he instantly fell silent. He shrank his neck and walked out, afraid that he would not even be able to keep his job in the end.
One had to know that Director Yu’s father was the former comrade of the hospital director.
The hospital director had long since nurtured Yu Leyou as his successor. Otherwise, no matter how capable Yu Leyou was, he would not have been promoted to director of the Cardiology Department at such a young age.
After the two of them left, the department finally quietened down.
Yu Leyou apologized awkwardly to Melody Fox.
“Dr. Fox, I’m really sorry. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you today. It’s all because I didn’t do my duty as the director that my subordinates had such thoughts.”
Melody Fox shook his head. “It’s not your fault. People like Dr. Herbert… are indeed rare.”
A living human life was not as important as her so-called crush. This was very ridiculous.
Even if she was already with Yu Leyou? This could still be barely understood as love. Because of love, she was afraid that rash surgery would affect her other half’s future. This was understandable.
However, He Xiangxiang was purely retarded.
Melody Fox patted Yu Leyou’s stiff shoulder and asked, “Don’t think about what happened just now. Let me ask you, do you want to come with me to Mr. Ou’s surgery?”
“Of course!” Yu Leyou said resolutely, “Even you are willing to go to the hospital without hesitation. As his attending physician and the director of the Cardiology Department… If I don’t go, I might as well not be a doctor anymore.”
Melody Fox nodded.
She had already guessed it when Yu Leyou asked He Xiangxiang to switch departments with her male colleague. Including Yu Leyou, this group of doctors who did not step forward were willing to do it.
She needed manpower, but not this much.
“Then choose a few capable people to enter the operating theater.”
“Okay.”
Yu Leyou responded and called out a few doctors.
After confirming the surgical personnel, Yu Leyou looked at everyone and said, “Thank you very much for staying. Regardless of whether you were chosen to enter the operating theater or not, I can promise you that no matter if Mr. Ou’s surgery results are good or bad, I won’t let you suffer any losses even if I have to do my best. Moreover, I’ve already reported this matter to the director. The director will protect you.”
Everyone was stunned.
It turned out that Chief Yu had already arranged everything for them.
No wonder he had asked the doctor to go home if he wasn’t feeling well. He wanted to use this opportunity to expel those irresponsible doctors from the department.
Someone couldn’t help but say, “Department Director, He Xiangxiang and the others are another matter, but Doctor Yuan and the others…”
Doctor Yuan was referring to the female doctor who was about to give birth.
He said, “Don’t worry. Their situation is special. I know all about it. Even if it’s… He Xiangxiang and He Xiangxiang, they won’t be fired. They’ll just be transferred to another department. Every patient in our hearts is someone who has one foot in the door of death. That’s why we need to be more responsible than other departments…”
A doctor ran over and reported, “Chief, the operating theater is ready. Mr. Ou has been pushed in.”
