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
Two months later, Yelena's treatment gradually showed results. She returned to the York family every half month. There were new developments each time she went back, especially since she could now speak simple words. The York family dared not question Professor Turner's arrangements anymore.Eliza still slept deeply. Her vital signs were normal, but she never woke up.Melanie's medical studies also progressed well.With a background in traditional medicine since childhood, Melanie found it effortless to learn from Professor Turner, who started with traditional medicine. However, she struggled a bit with deciphering his handwritten medical notes...For the past two months, Annie had been by Melanie's side every day.Her belly slowly grew larger, and she needed someone to take care of her at all times. Professor Turner found a reliable nanny to take care of her daily necessities.On this day, Melanie was discussing medical cases with Professor Turner when Annie hurriedly pushed
“Professor, let me.”Melanie stepped forward and grabbed the first-aid kit, but Professor Turner insisted against it. “You’re heavily pregnant now. Although I’m made of old bones, I’m still perfectly capable of carrying something like this.”Melanie smiled as she put on a white doctor’s robe and followed him out of the door.“What is that patient’s condition? Is it severe?” Melanie asked worriedly when they were in the car.“It’s not minor,” the professor replied without looking up.That made Melanie even more nervous. She intertwined her fingers. “Professor, I’ve never dealt with a real patient before. You’ll have to keep a close watch and make sure treatment is not delayed for the patient.”“Why so little confidence in yourself?” Professor Turner looked at her with a smile. “Don’t worry, you’ll be able to treat this condition with ease!”Melanie heaved a sigh of relief, hoping that what Professor Turner said was true.After driving for less than 20 minutes, the car stoppe
Melanie was carrying their child! Jeffrey thought with clenched fists, and he suppressed the urge to caress Melanie’s belly.Melanie seized the chance while he was spacing out to snatch her medicine case back. She put the strap on her shoulders before opening the door.Professor Turner was waiting outside the door. When he saw them, he asked in shock, “Done so fast?”“Yes. Why don’t you prescribe me some medicine?” Jeffrey bowed his head to look at the woman before him, who was still looking downward, and fought for more time with her.“I can’t treat this condition of yours. You’d better consult another doctor,” Melanie said. She left without even looking back.“Is that so? I thought you’re the only one who can cure him of this condition,” Professor Turner chimed in.Melanie glared at him. He pursed his lips, no longer daring to speak up for Jeffrey. He put his hands behind his back. and walked out with Melanie.They left the hotel and got into the car.Melanie looked sullen
Harlow’s subordinate looked at where he was pointing at.In the photo, Melanie and Yelena had just stood up from the bench in the garden and were turning to walk back to the base. In the subsequent photos that were shot, Melanie’s jacket did little to cover up her swollen belly.Her belly was growing fast.“Is it…Jeffrey Morgan’s child?” his subordinate asked in surprise.In his memory, Melanie always had a slender figure. That was why when he first got the photos, he didn’t even consider the possibility of her being pregnant. He simply thought that her clothes were overly-sized, and it was an issue of the camera angle and the wind puffing her dress up.Now that he took a second look, it didn’t look like an issue of the camera angle at all.“Who cares whose child it is!”Harlow flung the stack of photos on the coffee table. “If it really is Jeffrey Morgan’s child, I’ll expose this secret and let Morgan Group continue being unstable! If it isn’t Jeffrey Morgan’s…hmph! That’d be
