Chapter 521 Caught Her Off-Guard

Author: Bright Eyes
Gabriel held Melanie back. “Stay in the car. I’ll head out to take a look.”

Melanie nodded.

However, Gabriel didn’t return after a long while. Melanie could hear the old lady’s cries and wails from in the car. She sounded as though she was in a lot of pain. Curious, Melanie stepped out of the car and walked toward them, accompanied by a bodyguard.

When she drew closer to them, she heard the old lady crying while surrounded by her bodyguards.

“Why must I leave? I’m not leaving! I’m so sick, I can’t possibly put myself through the torment of being on a plane…”

“Madam, since you’re ill, we’ll take you to the hospital right away!”

The bodyguard tried to hold her, but the old lady wrapped her arms around her knees and sat on the floor, refusing to budge. “Don’t touch me! I’m one step away from being paralyzed. I can’t afford to let my legs be manhandled!”

The old lady spoke with such authority, it stopped her bodyguards in their tracks. The chief bodyguard barked, “Hurry! Get the doc

    The old lady stared at Melanie in surprise, who then winked back at her before adding, “Ma’am, your leg is very badly injured. I’m not equipped to treat it. It’s better for you to wait for your usual doctor to check on it. Meanwhile, you must avoid traveling long distances.” “Sigh, I got it,” the old woman nodded obediently.The bodyguards heard what Melanie said, and felt put on the spot. Yet, they couldn’t risk paralyzing the old lady and had no choice but to report the situation to their master.Melanie tried to stand up upon seeing the tables turn, but had to rely on Gabriel’s help to get on her feet due to her heavy belly.“You’re Mr. Frost, aren’t you? Your wife is so kind-hearted.”The old lady couldn’t help but praise Melanie, who extended a helping hand despite being heavily pregnant.A look of awkwardness flashed past Melanie’s face, but she didn’t say anything further to the old lady and turned to leave with Gabriel by her side.When she walked past the old lady’s bo

    Melanie stayed in Professor Turner’s base for a few days.Jefford did not appear again, as she expected.Her interactions with him that night felt like a dream she was rudely awakened from…With regard to Gabriel’s condition, Melanie had a video call with Professor Turner and expressed her wishes for him to come back so both of them can thoroughly check Gabriel in person. However, the professor said that he was still unable to return as issues had cropped up with research in Medonia. Until he could find a solution for them, he had to remain there for the time being.However, it wasn’t ideal to delay Gabriel’s treatment, either. As such, Melanie decided to bring Gabriel back to Medonia so she and Professor Turner could jointly assess Gabriel’s condition and adjust their treatment plan for him.Coincidentally, she had left the Yorks for over two weeks. She was getting concerned about her mother’s condition, and it was about time for her to visit her mother in person.Gabriel knew

    The charity ball hit its climax right after the award ceremony.The host went on stage to announce the finale auction segment, and invited all guests to take their seats. All proceeds from the auction would be donated by the auction house to a foundation to benefit children in need.Gabriel escorted Melanie to one of the seats in the first row, but Mr Frost swooped down on them before they could take their seats.“Dr. Jones, have you settled down in Professor Turner’s research base? If not, you’re always welcome back to my house.”“I’m fine, thank you,” Melanie replied politely.Mr Frost smiled awkwardly. “Dr. Jones, my sister was rude to you before. I trusted her too easily. It was wrong of me to doubt your medical skills and sincerity! I arranged for Gabriel to bring you to this auction so I can find a chance to make it up to you. Feel free to bid for anything you please, especially that emerald locket. I think it’s the most ideal gift for your baby.”He then said to Gabriel, “

    The first thing Melanie saw when she turned around was Jefford, but her attention was then drawn to the woman next to him.They looked as though they had just appeared. Jefford was settling down on his chair when he raised his big sign, and the woman next to him was adjusting her shawl and bag strap…It was that woman who was holding onto his arm and behaving intimately with him at the ball… It seemed their relationship was rather stable, Melanie thought.Jefford put his sign down, sat down, and looked up a while later to return Melanie’s gaze.That hot gaze pierced through the dim room like a spotlight, so bright it almost turned night to day.Her heart started thumping wildly. She subconsciously sat up straight as she tried her best to calm herself down and turn her attention back to the emerald locket on stage.Yet, she could still feel that cold gaze fixed on her, making her hair raise.“30 million dollars! The young master of the Yancey family has placed his bid! 30 million

    Melanie found the voice familiar, and turned back to look.It was the old lady who pretended to have an injured leg, the one she helped on the road before. The old lady was seated behind her, and smiled at Melanie.“Pardon me, beautiful doctor. This grandson of mine is cheeky, and has no clue that you two want the locket for a reason,” she said. “Go ahead and bid for it. I promise you, he won’t dare to raise that sign again.”Melanie rubbed her chest, feeling slightly stuffy and uncomfortable. “Ma’am, there’s no need for that. We don’t really want it that much. Mr. Yancey can have it.”“How about this? Since you saved me before, Jefford can buy this locket. We’ll send it to your family as an expression of my gratitude,” the old lady offered generously.“There really is no need for that,” Melanie said without a smile. Then, she turned to say to Gabriel, “I feel slightly unwell. Let’s go.”Gabriel looked tense the moment Melanie said that. He didn’t care about compensating Melanie

    When Melanie and Gabriel left the hall, they could feel the cold air from outside.However, Melanie found the fresh air exceedingly comforting. She felt suffocated inside earlier…Just as the chill started getting to her as she waited for a taxi outside, she suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulders. She realized it was Gabriel putting his jacket over her.“Thank you,” she said, without turning her head back.“Don’t overthink things. It’s bad for your health,” Gabriel advised.Gabriel had clearly sensed that there was a reason behind her discomfort, despite her best attempts to control her emotions. Melanie smirked helplessly and self-derisively.Jefford Yancey…A man with a fiancé who kept provoking her every night by climbing through her windows… He even tried to…How could a man like that remind her of Jeffrey? She shouldn’t be so wildly obsessed over a man who resembled Jeffrey in mere appearance, Melanie berated herself.-The moment the Yancey family car drove Jefford,

    “They know who she is.”Mrs. Yancey pointed to the bodyguards standing behind Linda.They had “escorted” her to the airport that day under the instruction of Linda, who was bent on forcing her to leave.Linda’s eyes turned cold as she issued, “Think of a way to call her here!”“Yes, Miss!” the bodyguards said before heading off.-Mr. Frost was put in a difficult spot after the emerald locket landed in someone else’s hand at the auction.However, his mentality as a businessman remained unchanged. That was evident in the form of one of his family cars parked outside the research base, waiting for Gabriel and Melanie’s return.When one of the bodyguards saw them, he greeted them respectfully, “Mr. Frost, Dr. Jones. Mr. Frost wants us to deliver this gift to Dr. Jones.”“What gift?” Gabriel asked curiously. The bodyguards shifted a box from inside the car and opened it, revealing rare paintings, a ceramic vase, and a limited edition jewelry set.“Mr. Frost would like to convey

    Cheryl was probably the only one behaving normally in the entire house, without any other thoughts in mind aside from her worry about Mrs. Yancey’s condition and her doubts concerning Melanie’s medical skills.“What spot did you pierce the needle in? Can elderly people take the pain?” Cheryl asked as she stared at Melanie.Melanie looked up at her, impressed at the concern and love that this potential granddaughter-in-law was showing Mrs. Yancey.“This is BL57 and this is BL56…” Melanie explained patiently. “These spots are distributed around the leg. Administering needle therapy on them individually serves to relax the muscles and strengthen the kneecaps. When applied together, the compounded positive effects are difficult to list simply.”Melanie glanced at Mrs. Yancey as she spoke. She noticed that the tension was leaving the old lady’s eyes as her trust toward Melanie grew.Mrs. Yancey was also quick-witted enough to know that Melanie was hinting to her that even in her good h

    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.
