"Let me put it simply."Professor Turner stepped out of the car. Despite his small stature, he looked up at Jeffrey with an unwavering demeanor."I saved your life once. But back then, it was Melanie's grandfather who saved mine. I inherited many of my medical insights from him. Melanie is closer to me than my own granddaughter. So, tell me, who should I see, her or you?""..."Jeffrey was once again taken aback. When he thought about it, there would be no Professor Turner without Melanie's grandfather. His fatal accident would have undoubtedly been the end of him."Professor Turner, today is the first time I've learned that my grandfather also saved you!" Melanie exclaimed in surprise."That's ancient history."Professor Turner waved his hand, reminiscing about his long-departed old companion with a touch of sadness. "Back then, I discovered a medical treatment in modern medicine that could tackle complex diseases. I insisted on delving into its research, but your grandfather d
"What do you think? My darling granddaughter has been taken from me! Should I congratulate you?!" Professor Turner waved his hand discontentedly. "Forget it! We'll wait until she gives birth before we do the test!""You also know about her heart condition, right? I've been worried about her pregnancy. Her body might not be able to handle it," Jeffrey added."With me around, I'll ensure the safety of both mother and child!" Professor Turner patted his chest reassuringly.Jeffrey's brow twitched slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.After waiting for about half an hour, the gates of the York estate opened again. Melanie accompanied Yelena as they walked out, followed by Shane, Pam, a few servants, and seven to eight bodyguards."Grandpa, I'll accompany her for treatment," Melanie said.Professor Turner waved his hand, gesturing for his assistant to help Yelena into the car, but he stopped the servants and bodyguards behind. "One member of the York family is enough. Too many
"I doubt he'll want to learn medicine from Professor Turner. I saw the medical notes he wrote when I was a child. Those words are simply impossible for a human to write..." Melanie said with a straight face.Jeffrey's eyebrows shot up, amused by her seriousness, and he burst into satisfied laughter.At that moment, Melanie's phone rang. It was her mother calling."Mel, are you still at the York estate? I heard Mr. Turner went to see you?" Eliza asked as soon as she answered."Yes, I'm at Professor Turner's research base now," Melanie replied.Eliza breathed a sigh of relief. After a few seconds of hesitation, as if making a difficult decision, she said, "I'm at the airport now. I'm flying to Medonia tomorrow. There's something important I need to tell you.""Can't you tell me over the phone?" Melanie's heart started to race."I've hesitated about this for a long time, but I still feel that I should tell you in person," Eliza insisted. Then she added, "I've already met Madam Morg
What a joke!Melanie glanced at Jeffrey, who was heating milk for her not far away in the kitchen. She took a deep breath and said, "Jeffrey is right beside me. Who made you accuse him again?""He wants to kill me! Obviously, he's not going to do it himself!" Judas's voice on the phone was low but twisted with fear. "After I got out of prison, we agreed to settle our debts. I just want to live peacefully with my wife. I don't want to kill anymore! He doesn't believe I'll keep his secret. He won't let me live! His people are about to arrive. Please come and save me!""How can I save you?" Melanie asked, playing along."I know the York family values you a lot. Please ask them for help. I'm begging you. I don't want to die! I don't want to see my wife die either..."Judas's words continued, and then the call suddenly disconnected.Melanie blinked in confusion. When Jeffrey approached her with a glass of milk, she casually answered his unasked question, "It was Judas.""What did h
When Melanie woke up, she found herself in Professor Turner's research base.Opening her eyes, she saw Jeffrey with dark circles under his eyes."Are you awake?" His voice was hoarse as he approached, and she could clearly see his bloodshot eyes and the stubble on his chin."My mom... Where is she?" she asked."Mom has been transferred here. She's in the infirmary.""Take me to her," she said.Jeffrey wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent. He carefully helped Melanie out of bed. They stood outside the infirmary and looked through the window where Eliza was breathing through an oxygen mask.Melanie's eyes were slightly moist, but she didn't let herself cry."How did the accident happen?" Her voice was very calm.Jeffrey gestured, and William immediately walked over from the corridor. He handed her a tablet with the accident investigation details on it."The driver of the car Mom was in had a sudden heart attack, and the car crashed into a pillar. The driver di
"I'm at..."Melanie pondered for a moment. This was Professor Turner's research base, and it was a highly confidential location. She shouldn't bring too many people in. So she said, "Mr. Lincoln, just send me your location. I'll come to you."Melanie took Annie with her to the cafe where Mr. Lincoln had been waiting for a while.He looked exhausted, clearly having stayed up all night without sleep."How's Madam Jones doing?" Mr. Lincoln inquired, immediately showing concern for Eliza's condition."She's out of danger now, but her brain has suffered severe damage. She might not wake up for a while," Melanie replied honestly."Which hospital is she in? Why can't I find her admission information?" Mr. Lincoln asked."She's been transferred from the hospital to Professor Turner's research base," Melanie disclosed. "With Professor Turner treating her, I feel more at ease.""Has Professor Turner mentioned when the Madam Jones might wake up?" Mr. Lincoln asked anxiously.Melanie sh
Madam Morgan was indeed Yelena's close friend, and it was only natural that their families were close because of that.And all these years, Melanie's parents kept her in the dark. They didn't allow her to enter the world of perfumery or tell anyone about her heart transplant surgery, all because of her connection to the York family...More precisely, it was her father's connection to the York family.Melanie remembered that Joseph had personally told her about his missing son and even probed her to see if she knew his son's birthday...And Yelena mentioned feeling a sense of familiarity when she saw her...And the York family's high regard for her. If it was because of blood ties, then everything made sense."These are just my deductions. I don't know why Madam Jones urgently came to find you. Apart from wanting to inform you of this evidence, she might also mention your lineage. "But now, if you want to know about your lineage, you'll probably need a kinship verification from
The car arrived at the entrance of the research base.Before the door opened, Melanie saw Jeffrey standing at the base entrance, waiting for her."Annie, you go back to the room first. I have something to say to him," Melanie said."Always remember, protect yourself first," Annie couldn't help but advise before getting out of the car.Melanie smiled bitterly, "Are you worried he'll kill me?"Annie pursed her lips but didn't answer.Melanie opened the car door, got out, and walked towards Jeffrey.The sunlight pierced through the trees, casting shadows on his shoulders and enveloping his handsome face. She couldn't help but recall the first time she saw him when he was still in a wheelchair...No, the first time she saw him should have been on the bed in the Paris Hotel.He himself admitted that he came to find her back then for revenge. He wanted her and her family to pay the price.If all of this today was the result of his revenge, then he succeeded..."What's wrong? Why d
