One month ago.When Annie heard that Melanie and Jeffrey were in trouble overseas, Annie wanted to fly over to be with her. However, Professor Turner told her that Melanie was in the York residence, and it wouldn’t be good to have too many people there.Once Melanie was awake, Annie still wanted to come over, but Melanie had wanted her help to find out where Jeffrey was buried as well as the condition the Morgan Group was in. She was asking Annie to be her eyes back in the country.Annie could only stay to investigate what Morgan Group did to Jeffrey’s body, but when she dug deeper, she realized she couldn’t find where he was cremated or where his grave was.Jeffrey seemed to have suddenly disappeared into thin air, as if he had never even existed.“Could it be that he never died?”Melanie’s voice trembled as she held the window instinctively.Every time she dreamt of him in the middle of the night, she would wake up in a cold sweat. It seemed like there was a voice deep within
“How did you guess?” Gabriel asked in surprise. “I’ve used my mom’s last name since I was little.”“The Yorks needed the Frosts’ help in something lately, so I’ve learned more about them. You’ve hidden yourself so well,” Melanie said.Gabriel smirked and said, “I’ve left the family since I was very little and I go home very rarely nowadays. Even if they want to, they won’t be able to find out much about me.”Looks like he had some story too.Melanie didn’t pursue it. She then led him out and was going to walk him out from the main entrance, but she didn’t expect to see Harlow intimidating Professor Turner in the living room, forcing him to go treat young master Frost’s sickness.“I told you. I tried it a long time ago. The treatment is ineffective,” the professor said impatiently.“You’re an internationally renowned doctor, prodigious even. Just because you couldn’t do anything back then doesn't mean that you can’t do anything right now!” Harlow was being very pushy, trying to fo
“There’s nothing bad about my condition right now anyway.”Gabriel raised his hand, removing his hearing aid inside his ear, his clear eyes looking at Melanie. “Look. The world is now at peace... And I enjoy it very much.”Melanie was astonished as she looked at him, frozen.He really was a special prodigy.“However, in order to make you feel better, I’ll give you all that old information, my beautiful doctor,” Gabriel said and put his hearing aid back on. Then, he glanced at the living room with disdain. “I’ll leave from the side door. I’m not going in.”“Sure.”Melanie nodded and saw Gabriel leave.“Master Harlow. By Master Joseph’s command, you’re not allowed to make it difficult for Professor Turner.” At this time, the butler hurriedly entered the living room and stopped him.“It’s not that I’m trying to make it hard for them, but haven’t you heard about the rumors in the company? Now that Aunt Yelena came back with two kids, the company is in a lot of chaos. I don’t know w
“Fine!”Harlow was afraid that Melanie would take her offer back and quickly said, “It’s decided then. I’ll contact the Frost family right away! You should get ready to head to Delfino to treat him!”“As promised.”After saying that, Melanie gracefully turned and returned to her room.Meanwhile, Harlow was the one stunned. He looked at her figure, frozen in place... She sounded full of confidence. Why did it feel like she had set up a trap for him? He had to be careful when dealing with Melanie this time...Harlow searched his memories...Lately, in order to get closer to the Frost family, he had sent his men to speak with all the medical experts in the world. None of them could treat Young Master Frost’s illness. Why was Melanie so confident?She was simply being stubborn for dignity’s sake. She would suffer the consequences of her own actions very soon!-Melanie was quite heavy, and that was why the Yorks arranged for her and Professor Turner to stay on the first floor. Tha
“Does she know something?”The butler, who stood behind Joseph, agreed. “Just judging from how Miss Melanie was willing to bet everything to tackle a challenge... She was like you when you were young!”Joseph shook his head as he frowned deeply with hesitation in his eyes. “But the DNA tests came back negative. This doesn’t make sense...”The next day.Melanie and Professor Turner flew over to Delfino. Once they touched down, they immediately drove to the Frost residence.In the vehicle.Melanie was still flipping the needle therapy notebook that Nancy had sent to her that she only received yesterday. The notebook hadn’t left her hands since then.“Professor, look at this case. It’s someone who’s born deaf as well. Is it similar to Gabriel’s sickness?”She flipped through the notebook and checked on the cases of deafness that her grandfather had cured, and then gave them to the professor to read. They were hoping to find cases similar to Gabriel’s condition.“While these all h
“Seeing that you’re so young, you probably don’t have much of a track record. But there must be a few cases that can wow us, right? Otherwise, where did you get your title as a prodigy? Don’t tell me you called yourself that?” Yvonne asked with a sneer.“Now that I’m here, I’m hoping that my treatment of Young Master Frost can be my first case that can wow others,” Melanie replied.“Ha!”Yvonne smiled coldly. “You speak well, but Gabriel is a pitiful boy. He lost his mother not long after he was born. I personally raised him. I will not allow anyone to hurt him, even if you’re using treatment as an excuse!”“She has no reason to hurt me.”Suddenly, someone called out from above.The people on the sofa looked up and saw Gabriel slowly walking down the staircase.Gabriel nodded and walked over to Melanie, smiling. “You really did find a way to treat me?”Melanie nodded. “I’ll try my best.”“You know each other, Gabriel?” Mr. Frost asked, confused.Gabriel explained, “She’s the
“Even then, it doesn’t concern you.”Gabriel detested how Yvonne acted and protected Melanie the best he could. “If you aren’t willing to raise your own nephew, you will never consider another person’s child, right?”Yvonne was stunned.She was angered yet again. She glanced at Mr. Frost who was standing next to her, only to see him looking at her with a gloomy expression. She wanted to argue back but decided to shut up.All those years ago when Gabriel’s mother passed away, Mr. Frost was busy with the family business and wanted Yvonne, who was staying at home, to take care of him.However, Yvonne’s attitude toward Gabriel was even worse than the nanny that took care of him. It was so bad that Gabriel swore to leave the family as soon as possible. She had a hand in everything that made him refuse to have anything to do with them.And now that Gabriel was finally back, Yvonne knew that she had to control herself.However, who the hell was this Melanie?Last year, a niece from Yv
Gabriel was the VIP of the party.As the only scion of the Frost family, he had never shown himself in any of his family’s parties. Now that Mr. Frost had announced his return publicly, all the guests understood what he wanted to say.Soon, Mr. Frost would retire, and all the Frost family’s assets would become his. Naturally, everyone would try to get on Gabriel’s good side.He was surrounded by a group of people as they chatted. When it was time to dance, he also had no lack of dance partners.Luckily, Melanie wasn’t feeling well, and so she sat in the corner. The servants had prepared her healthy food and fruit juice that were suitable for pregnant women. She looked around, planning to take a bite before leaving.It was at this time that there was a commotion at the entrance.She heard several female guests begin to chit-chat excitedly. “Look! That’s the scion of the Yancey family! He is even more invisible than Master Gabriel all these years!”“That’s right. I heard that he o
Pleasantly surprised, Melanie turned around to see the man she had been looking for. She never stopped saying his name in her head. He stood right behind her.At that moment, she stopped thinking completely.Without even hesitating, she ran toward him and dove into his arms."Ughh."Jeffrey groaned in pain. 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?" Melanie asked."Today is the day of Nathan's trial. I know you'd definitely be in the courtroom," Jeffrey said confidently.Melanie finally calmed down a little. After letting go of him,
"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. Mr. Oliver and I have been on the run from Nathan's shadowy pursuits. I only managed to sn
Three days later, the trial was officially in session.Leo's attorney was practically defenseless because the York family's allegations of him poisoning Joseph had been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Leo was directly sentenced to life in prison.Nathan's attorney, on the other hand, was clever. 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. She was also frowningThe presiding judge's implication was well understood. Without more evidence, Nathan would not receive a life sentence…"The plaintiff simply does not have sufficient evidence to
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. You can't afford to hurt your body anymore than you already have. I checked your pulse earlier. It's not loo
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. I can hold up," Melanie promised."If you don't let me go and see it with my own eyes, I'll be even more paranoid," she added.Carson knew his granddaughter too well. He sighed and frowned before requesting for a ride. He met up with Hank. The two of them accompanied Melanie to look for Jeffrey.Jeffrey, Kenneth, Mr. Oliver, and Eagle waited at the drop-off point near the York family's residence. Nathan had instructed them to not do anything rash.Mr. Oliver and Eagle were still useful to Nathan.Once Nathan acquired Joseph's signature, he would meet up with them.However, the small hotel they were waiting at was already in ruins. There was smoke everywher
'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. We are arresting you for premeditated murder!" Chief Frankie uttered calmly."No… No…" Leo struggled but to no avail. He had no idea what wa
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. Hank nodded in agreement.“Mr. Castillo, there's something I need to trouble you with.” Melanie said."I heard from Professor Marshall that you're on good terms with the chief of Medonia's Interpol. 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!" Nathan laughed grimly when he saw the miserable state Jeffrey was in."Thanks to you, I've been more miserable than this on many occasions. This is nothing." Jeffrey made it sound like a walk in the park."Hehe." Nathan sneered."I know. You've had strong willp
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.
