"Jefford is your nephew! He's your older sister's only child! Have you forgotten how much she loved you when you were young? She took the blame for you every time... Don't you fear she’ll haunt you if you don't spare her only blood relative?" Mrs. Yancey exclaimed angrily.

"I never believed in a life after death!" Linda's voice was even colder than before. "Besides, this time it was Jefford who wronged me first! I finally monopolized the Oakmoss channel, but he ruined it! Instead of asking me if I felt wronged, you're wholeheartedly protecting him instead!"

"How do you know it was Jefford who did it? Did he admit it?" Mrs. Yancey probed.

"Do I still need him to admit it?" Linda replied.

Did she not torture Jefford?

Mrs. Yancey hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's impossible for him to do this. Although he fools around all the time, he knows where the line is."

"The line was drawn by you!" Linda retorted.

"Quickly send your men to find him for me. I’ll find out the

    Unbuttoning his shirt, Melanie frowned as her hands trembled involuntarily. Was it because she was still new to being a doctor, and not yet accustomed to dealing with such wounds? She pondered silently, lips tightly pressed together, as she undid all his buttons and removed his clothes soaked with sweat and blood. She didn’t expect his injuries to be so severe... "Did Linda do this to you?" she asked, furrowing her brows. Jeffrey didn't deny it. "How did you manage to escape from her?" she asked again. "Someone provided assistance, and I took advantage of the situation," he replied. Her brows furrowed even deeper as she examined his wounds. "Why did you suddenly set fire to Linda's house? Is it related to me?" "Huh?" Jeffrey closed his eyes, pretending not to have heard clearly. Melanie decided not to press further. "It's nothing." In fact, Jeffrey had heard her clearly. As clever as she was, she had guessed that he was deliberately diverting Linda's attention away

    Melanie lowered her voice, and questioned the audacity of the man before her. “Are you asking for a favor, or giving instructions?” “Asking for a favor,” Jefford said, in a low and hoarse voice that sounded pitiful yet sensuous at the same time.Melanie looked away from his hot gaze. She flung his hand away, and stood up to close the glass door of the washroom. When she walked out of the washroom, she saw Gabriel holding a tray with a bowl of steaming hot ginger soup.“Thank you.” She reached out to take it.Gabriel hurriedly said, “Slow down, it’s hot. I added some sugar so it won’t taste too spicy.”“Oh,” Melanie muttered as she shut the door of the washroom tight.Meanwhile, the man closed in the washroom felt his heart being torn to shreds…-Melanie didn’t want to remain in the room for fear that Gabriel might suddenly need the washroom, thereby exposing Jefford hiding inside. She blew on the soup, trying to cool it down and gulp it down fast.She stuck her tongue out, a

    “Melanie, are you asleep yet?”It was Gabriel.Melanie’s heart skipped a beat.Jefford, lying on the bed peacefully just a second ago, looked on in shock. His eyes were wide, as if he was worried about getting caught in the act.Melanie wanted to tell Gabriel she was already in bed, but was worried he might be here for something important. After a moment’s hesitation, she flung her blanket Jefford, hissing, “Hide yourself!”She smoothed out her pajamas, and opened the door. “What’s the matter?”Gabriel stood at the door in his gray silk pajamas, and asked with concern, “Are you still feeling unwell?” “I’m feeling better,” Melanie replied.“I can’t sleep, and came to chat with you,” Gabriel said as he made a move to enter her room.Melanie side-stepped him to block him from entering. “Umm… I’m about to turn in…”“So early?”Gabriel knew she was used to staying up late. What’s more, she was on unfamiliar grounds and that made her unable to fall asleep. Though he claimed he wa

    “He… He…”Melanie pointed at the man who walked past her door with his hands in his pockets, looking as though she just saw a ghost.“Oh.”The servant looked back. and explained, “Our young master just returned this morning. You were still asleep then… His room is right next door to yours.”Melanie was surprised to see the man who walked past suddenly look back and wink at her.She clenched her fists hard and gritted her teeth, feeling thoroughly humiliated. Her eyes and her intellect were humiliated.He even said last night that he wasn’t planning on staying in her room. What he really meant was that he would be openly staying in another room!She had to admit, she didn’t see Jefford’s surprising response coming.Melanie wasn’t the only one, either. Linda herself was slightly confused, too.At the dining table, Mrs. Yancey, Linda, and Jefford had breakfast with Melanie and Gabriel. Linda looked skeptically at Jefford, who was enjoying his meal gracefully.The air in the room

    “You handed me something so important without even telling me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll lose it?” Melanie asked.“Losing it would be better than letting someone who shouldn’t have it take it away,” Mrs. Yancey said frankly.Melanie pulled out a few needles from her pouch to reveal a small silk bag hidden inside. She returned it to its rightful owner, and said, “Check and see if all’s good.”Mrs. Yancey and Mrs. Hoffman pulled out the jade ring from inside the silk bag, checked it, and looked at each other with a nod.“To be honest with you, we had no choice when we put this with you and let you take it away.”Mrs. Yancey sighed as she confided everything.“At that time, someone was forcing me into a corner… But now that things are better and support for Jefford has stabilized, I’m not so worried about losing it now.”Melanie smiled as she continued applying the needles to Mrs. Yancey’s leg. “There’s no need for you to explain. I’ll just take it that I’ve never seen it before.”Mr

    Gabriel did have feelings for Melanie, but he didn’t like such teasing that made Melanie feel awkward.“Miss Yancey, pardon us, but we have something else to attend to. Goodbye,” he said coldly. With that, he grabbed Melanie’s hand and made a move to leave.Behind them, Jeffrey, whose eyes were down the whole time, clenched the teacup in his hand hard.-As Melanie stepped into the car, Gabriel noticed she was in a bad mood and tried to comfort her. “Although Linda has no proof that you leaked the secret to the owner of Windborough Estate, she probably still wants to take revenge on you. Don’t take her words to heart.”Melanie pursed her lips, and shook her head.Gabriel may not know about it, but she knew very clearly why Linda was questioning her about the blood-stained bedsheets.At any other time, it was nothing extraordinary for a lady to soil the bedsheets during her period. Given Linda’s status, there was no need for her to question so much about it. She must have pursu

    Pam pursed her lips. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, “Nathan…”Melanie’s eyes dimmed further. She glanced at the overly-sensuous gown that Pam was wearing, and asked, “Was he the one who gave you this gown?”“Yes,” Pam said, looking even more embarrassed.“How far have you two taken this relationship?” Melanie pressed further.“Huh…?” Pam exclaimed shyly.“Can you show me his text?” Melanie cut to the chase.Pam was surprised by Melanie’s request. After pondering for a moment, she swiped on her phone and raised it up. “You look really beautiful today. Can you come up and be with me?” Melanie couldn’t help but feel disgusted by Nathan’s thinly-veiled attempt at flirting.Most of the proceedings of the banquet were held on the first floor. Amidst the bright lights, colorful array of drinks, and hordes of beautiful women, it was common for guest rooms on the second floor to be reserved for some men who needed them…The banquet had already started.

    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.

    '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.
