Upon hearing the news, Melanie closed the file in her hands and urgently asked, "Where is he?""He's in Medonia. Nathan has been hiding him. The watch on him loosened after Nathan fled, allowing us to find him. He's being taken to the hospital now.""Is he... badly injured?" Melanie asked with concern."Yeah,” Jeffrey said solemnly."I want to see him.”"Is it safe for you to travel? Should I come to pick you up?" Jeffrey was worried about her safety."You are looking down on the York family already, huh?" Melanie joked.Jeffrey chuckled. "I'll send you his location. We’ll talk when we meet there.” “Alright.” Melanie put away the files on her desk and glanced at the clock. It was nearly 11 PM. No wonder she felt so tired. It seemed she would be pulling an all-nighter again with the little one in her belly.-After calling Melanie, Jeffrey couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands anxiously.He had decided that the next time they met, he would revea

As long as the treatment was continuous, he should wake up in a few months. Melanie was relieved to hear that. It was past midnight by the time she finished talking to Professor Turner.She yawned and told Jeffrey, “Please have people guard Mr. Smith. I'll also send some people so that they can rotate shifts.""It’s fine. I have enough men." Jeffrey didn't want her to exhaust herself."I insist," Melanie insisted.To Jefford, Mr. Smith was just a passerby in his life, but to Melanie, he was a friend. He was someone who saved her life. She felt more at ease having her

However, Jeffrey was confused. Melanie’s belly shouldn’t look this way if she didn’t lose the baby. Her belly looked the same as it did two months ago. Jeffrey wondered if the baby didn’t grow. He sighed inwardly.Frowning, he gently brushed against her belly and reluctantly adjusted her clothes before covering her with his coat.-Melanie slept the entire way.When she woke up, she realized the car was parked outside the York family estate. She instinctively checked the time and was surprised to know that she had slept for a long time. What surprised her even more was that Jefford was still by her side. "Why haven't you left?""I... have something to tell you.""It's late, and I'm tired. Can we talk another day?" Melanie stretched, still feeling that she hadn't slept enough.Noticing her tired eyes, Jeffrey couldn't bear to push her and relented, "Alright, get some rest. We'll talk another day."“Mhm.” Melanie shook off the grogginess and got out of the car. But

As Melanie stood before the dressing mirror, she looked down and gently stroked her belly. The child was growing day by day. Soon, people would begin to notice. Jefford and even the York family didn’t know she was pregnant. As an heiress, her position among the York family’s board of directors had yet to stabilize. It would be significant news if she announced to the board that she was expecting. Fortunately, the weather was getting colder. Once winter came, she could wear loose clothing to prolong the revelation until she finished her work. - Melanie woke up slightly later the next day. Fearful of leaving a lazy impression on Joseph and Richard, she quickly freshened up and hurried downstairs, only to find out that the butler had left for the company half an hour ago. She grabbed two slices of bread before rushing out to get the driver to drive her. Jefford called during her commute. “I had a sudden thought,” he said. “Yes?” Melanie was hesitant in her response a

”W-what hard thing?!” Jeffrey sat up as he came to realize something. He pulled out his bag from under Melanie and said, "Are you aware of safety tools?" "Huh?" Melanie's expression grew increasingly awkward. Jeffrey pursed his lips and held himself back for a few seconds before breaking into a grin. "Ms. Jones, what were you thinking? It was a flashlight, climbing ropes, and antidotes... okay?" Melanie blinked as she watched him pull out the tools one by one as if to prove himself. "Ahem, let's move on." Having said that, she turned on the flashlight and walked ahead to conceal her embarrassment. Jeffrey chuckled out loud on purpose as he followed leisurely her and watched her guilty silhouette. As they followed their previous route, they soon found the statue of the woman. Melanie had a different feeling when she saw the statue again. Her grandmother had passed away before she was born, so she had no memory of her. Yet, as she looked at the realistic statue, she

Melanie was speechless. She looked at her belly. Did the moment of relaxation and her stretching out reveal the curve of her abdomen despite the loose coat? She sighed again. Jefford had successfully inherited the family business while she became the York family’s heir. As a result, their competitors gradually lost power but they remained as allies. Urged by the quiet, pleasant night and lingering warmth of his hand on her lower back... Melanie felt that it might be time to tell him that she was carrying his child… "Actually..." "Actually, I..." They suddenly spoke at the same time. The two exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh. "You go first..." "You first..." Once again, they spoke in unison. Melanie pursed her lips and smiled sincerely, "You’re the guest, so you should go first." Jeffrey swallowed and subconsciously clenched his fists. "Actually, I wanted to tell you that I..." Just as he was getting to the crucial part, his phone rang. Annoye

Melanie’s heart skipped a beat. Not to exaggerate, but she was sweating all over, and she wasn't sure if it was due to shock or delight. Wrapping herself in a blanket, she sat up and composed herself before opening Jefford's message. ‘Are you asleep?’ The message was sent at 11:30 PM. What a flirtatious message. How suggestive! Melanie rolled her eyes in disdain. Jefford left without a word and disappeared for two months. Now, he suddenly reappeared to play games. Did he think she would care? Her fingers tapped away on the screen, speedily typing out a flat response. ‘So you’ve finally shown yourself, Master Jefford. Our agreement hasn't been fulfilled yet. Please complete it when you have time!’ To her surprise, he replied quickly. ‘Sure.’ After that, Jefford disappeared again. Melanie was so angry she couldn't sleep well that night.

He did not dare to press against her stomach. Instead, he arched his back to hold her."Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea how I…" She cried so much that she could not speak."Alright, alright. Good girl. Don't cry. I've come back."Jeffrey kept rubbing the back of her head. "Eagle was too neurotic. I've nearly gone mad from dealing with him. I finally got him to regain some of his sanity today… That's how I had the chance to find you…""How did you know where to find me?"

"We're not together…"Kenneth's facial expression changed as soon as he saw Melanie.Melanie noticed there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. This was an unsettling feeling for her. "Then where is he? What happened to you guys?"Noticing that she was shaking, Annie and Carson, who had accompanied her to court, rushed forward to assist her."Eagle had a prior arrangement with Nathan. Once Nathan and Leo's plan at the York family's residence was thwarted, Nathan would press a button. Eagle would then receive a code to detonate a bomb. He'd blow us all up," Kenneth explained."Jeffrey was the one who noticed Eagle wasn't in the right state of mind. That's why he informed me to leave with Mr. Oliver. He… Stayed behind to persuade Eagle…" He added."What happened then?" Melanie's voice was shaking."All I knew after that was that the hotel blew up. I waited for him to contact me but he never did.

They tried everything they could to deflect Nathan's allegations.After the presiding judge evaluated the case, he looked up. "Does the plaintiff have any more evidence that the defendant, Nathan, intentionally killed someone?"Hank sat silently at the plaintiff's table.They could only provide evidence of the time when Nathan had tried to murder Hank. However, they had no evidence of Nathan being involved in the explosion on the island this time.Hank looked at Melanie in the audience.

Carson sighed. It was time to explain everything to Hank…Although Carson had spent a lot of time in Hank's hospital as Professor Marshall, and he would also tend to their men's wounds, as well as discuss a variety of topics with Hank, they had never acknowledged their relationship…Besides, Carson knew Hank hated him.Hank hated him for being heartless to his grandmother back then. That was why Hank changed his last name to Castillo instead of Yule…"Let's take Melanie back to rest. I'll explain the rest to you myself," Carson said. Hank had already figured out half of it."Grandpa, I'm not going back. I'll wait for the news here," Melanie said firmly.There was no sign of Jeffrey's corpse yet. She would wait until the rescue team confirmed that they could not find any corpse.She wanted a clear answer."Okay. I'll get the trailer ready for you. You can lie down inside.

Buzz!Melanie's vision turned black. She began falling backward."Melanie! Melanie!"Carson propped her up and called the doctor over.However, Melanie opened her eyes after a few seconds and tried to stand up. "I'm fine… Grandpa, take me there… I want to go to the scene of the explosion…""You're in no state…""I'm fine.

'Chief… Frankie?'Leo turned around in surprise. Nathan did the same. They saw Chief Frankie and several Interpol agents walking out from behind a screen in Joseph's room.Melanie was a part of that group!"Aren't you… dead?" Leo pointed at Melanie in shock."Thanks to you, I'll live a long life." Melanie sneered.Chief Frankie waved his hand. The police behind him charged forward to put handcuffs on Leo and Nathan. Leo narrowed his eyes and quickly pressed a button on the remote in his hand."We'll all die together!" He shouted.However, no matter how hard he pressed, nothing happened in the room."What's going on here… Eagle?" Leo's voice was trembling.His hands were cuffed, and the remote control was confiscated by the police."Leo, you are suspected of poisoning Master York and attempting to murder Melanie and others on the island.

At the same time, Melanie and Carson were on a plane with Professor Turner. They soon arrived at Medonia.Carson contacted Hank ahead of time and asked him to pick them up with his men.After the exhausting journey, Melanie's face was pale. She seemed to be in very poor condition. "I've already contacted the maternity hospital for you. You can go there and wait for your delivery. Leave the rest to me.""No…"Melanie shook her head. "I have to go back."Jeffrey was still in Nathan's hands. She would not be able to wait peacefully if she went to the hospital.Carson knew his granddaughter well enough. "Let her go. Professor Turner and I will be with here. We'll be ready for anything."Carson was still disguised as Maximilian. Hank did not know he was Carson.

Can I trouble him to be a

"Wait a minute! Isn't Jefford actually Jeffrey?" Leo asked while running after Nathan.Nathan ignored him and continued to walk forward.Leo did not give up and followed Nathan closely. "Who exactly is Jeffrey to you?""Are you being unreasonable right now? Why are you still so unsure at this point?" Nathan glanced at Leo contemptuously."I'm dealing with serious business. Don't get in my way with your petty romantic affairs!"After saying that, he glared at Leo and exited the cabin.Leo felt chills in his heart, but he could not make Nathan stay…-Jeffrey was tied up on the deck all this time. His body was freezing, and his lips were turning purple from the cold."Hey, President Morgan, fancy seeing you like this!"

Lynette seemed stunned. She could not help but stand up with the help of the railing on the speedboat. Her eyes turned red as looked at the island burning in the distance. There was a look of disbelief on her face…If they had not evacuated five minutes ago…By now…She would not have even been able to breathe and think…The explosion sent shockwaves across the ocean's surface. The ride became even more bumpy. With sea water splashing against them, they had all become wet."Are you alright?" Carson protected Melanie. He was worried she would not be able to take it.Her stomach did feel awful, but she braced herself and tried not to tense up. Her emotions would affect her baby.When Lynette heard the voices behind her, she turned around to look at Melanie. Her gaze had become much softer than before. "You're not going to give birth on the boat, are you? I'm a woman, but I don't know how to be a midwife!""I won't give birth now. There are still things left to do," Melanie said.
