"Professor Marshall... it's me..." Melanie was surprised for a few seconds before she instinctively responded.

"I know it's you. So, are you ready to meet with me?" Professor Marshall's voice was very calm on the other end of the phone.

"I'm free anytime. It depends on when you are available."

Melanie suppressed her emotions, but her eyes were still fixed on Maximilian behind the glass wall.

Although she was rather far from him and the glass wall made it difficult to see clearly, she could roughly make out that Maximilian's hands were down, and he was not on the phone.

"Let's make it tomorrow then, I'll send you the address later," Professor Marshall said.

"Okay, I'll wait for your message." After that, Melanie hung up the phone.

She felt somewhat disappointed.

Maximilian was within her line of sight, but Professor Marshall was the one on the phone.

So, were they really not the same person?

After a while, Maximilian brought out some new tea specially brewed for Mela

    "An extraordinary hospital," Professor Marshall explained. Mei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her expression one of hesitation. "What's wrong? Didn't you just say you were ready?" Professor Marshall scrutinized her, asking. "I am ready, but I just arrived in Delfino, and I promised my baby I’d spend more time with him..." Melanie was in a dilemma. "That's fine." Professor Marshall had already stood up, ready to leave. "Whether you come or not is up to you, but once I leave, I don’t know when I’ll return, and you might not be able to find me for a long time." This statement made Melanie even more suspicious. "What kind of hospital is it that you would lose contact with the outside world?" she asked directly. Professor Marshall laughed out loud. "You're overthinking it. It's not about losing contact, but when I get busy, I really don’t have time to look at my phone." "Would you be that busy?" Melanie asked. "Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to bother me." Having said t

    "Let's begin the surgery!" Professor Marshall avoided Melanie's question. He took the scalpel from the nurse and made an incision in one of the patient's calves. The patient on his left needed a bullet extracted from his calf, while the patient on his right required a spleen suturing surgery. Professor Marshall stood in the middle, looking back and forth, as both surgeries proceeded. Melanie, acting as his assistant and apprentice, was completely focused, amazed by Professor Marshall's medical skills and concentration. "Professor Marshall!" A nurse monitoring the equipment suddenly exclaimed, "The patient undergoing spleen suturing is having difficulty breathing! His blood oxygen saturation is rapidly dropping!" At that moment, Professor Marshall was extracting a bullet from the leg of the gunshot victim and cleaning the wound track. He quickly glanced at the monitor and said to Melanie, "Go check on him." "Okay." Melanie knew the situation was urgent and hurriedly

    Although Melanie didn't do it on purpose, she still said, "Sorry..." before turning off her flashlight. She thought to herself that all the residents here were hospital staff who had been as busy as bees all day. Her own hands were trembling even when she tried to eat, yet these people still had the energy to foster relationships. Impressive! Melanie smiled wryly and lay on her own bed, falling asleep the moment she closed her eyes. - Melanie thought she had slept for a long time. However, when she was awakened by a loud commotion outside and looked at her watch, she realized that she had only been asleep for half an hour. Deep sleep really was restorative. Stretching, Melanie noticed that the neighboring bed was empty. She left the tent and, hearing the distant noise, asked a nurse who was passing by, "What's going on?" "A patient is arguing with a doctor," the nurse replied. Rubbing her sore arm, Melanie nodded and followed the crowd toward the noise. Everyone spoke Ver

    Caleb was stunned for a moment. He suddenly became agitated and said, "Dr. Jones, you are brought here by Professor Marshall, and perhaps you have a broader perspective than us, but I can guarantee that this person's leg must be amputated!" "His leg muscles have just begun to atrophy, and they haven't completely necrotized yet. If we perform trauma surgery quickly to control the spread of inflammation, we can save his leg," Melanie argued with reason. "Even if the surgery goes smoothly, he won’t be able to feel his legs! He would have two useless limbs attached to his body and we can't guarantee they won't cause an inflammation outbreak at any time, so they still need to be amputated! We would be leaving behind a disaster!" Caleb disagreed. "I understand your concerns. You're judging based on your extensive clinical experience, but if you can operate on him quickly, and the surgery is successful, I can use acupuncture therapy post-surgery to help his legs regain sensation, and th

    "What important things?" Melanie was puzzled. "What do you mean?" "That depends on your understanding," Professor Marshall answered vaguely, avoiding a direct answer. "Some people think that territorial issues are a big deal, some believe that trade secrets are a big deal, and others think that keeping their family safe is a big deal, isn’t it?" After speaking, Professor Marshall stretched lazily and rubbed his back, saying, "I’ll go back to sleep while it’s quiet. I’ll be busy after dawn." With that, he turned and left. Melanie stood still for a moment. There were many secrets hidden in this hospital, and Professor Marshall was tight-lipped about them. The more secretive he was, the more curious she became. As night fell, the hospital enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility. Melanie gazed at the distant horizon, thinking. The patients here indeed came in large batches and not sporadically, which suggested that they were on a mission. And all of them were on different miss

    This comment immediately made the other nurses burst into laughter. "Maybe there's no need to seduce anyone? Have you heard? Some say that Dr. Jones and Professor Marshall have a special relationship..." Suddenly, someone steered the conversation even further off course. "Really? Is that true?" "There’s quite an age difference between her and Professor Marshall, isn’t there?" "Professor Marshall is so refined and elegant, always dressed in a suit underneath his lab coat. He’s also charming and educated, and not too old either. There’s plenty of such May-December romances!" Melanie halted in her steps, then turned around and walked directly to the table where they were sitting. She did not want to cause trouble, but she wouldn’t let the nurses here think that she was an easy target either. At that moment, several other medical staff had arrived in the cafeteria, and seeing a spectacle to behold, they stopped getting their food and started to crowd around to watch. Seeing

    Hank raised his hand. He didn't want to say another word. The bodyguard behind him hurriedly spoke on his behalf. "Our second young master is missing. The information we've gotten suggests that he has joined the organization and is participating in activities, but we've checked everyone involved and he's not among them. “It is very likely that he has disguised himself and is using an alias to participate in the activities, but now he's here because he’s injured." "What's his name?" the dean asked cautiously. "His real name is Alex, but he definitely has an alias... Do you have anyone named Alex here?" the head of the bodyguards asked. The dean instructed the staff to check the recent records of patients who had come for treatment, carefully looked through them, and shook his head. "No, there's no one named Alex..." "You're right. Most of the patients who come to this hospital use aliases, not their real names..." the dean explained nervously, afraid that Hank might become

    "Did you stop his legs from being amputated?" Hank stared at Melanie, his gaze flickering. "Yes," Melanie took a deep breath and replied. "How confident are you in helping his legs regain sensation with acupuncture?" Hank continued to stare at her, his voice cold. "Any doctor would say 50 percent at most, no matter what kind of surgery it was," Melanie paused and explained. "Fifty percent?" Hank coldly chuckled and walked up to Melanie with his hands behind his back. Looking down at her, he said, "Is this a joke?" Although he was smiling, his voice sounded like he was about to kill someone. Everyone fell silent. "Hank!" Behind them, Alex quickly intervened, "She's my benefactor! She told me before that she's confident, but she's saying 50 percent now because you scare her!" "Oh?" Hank glanced at Alex, then turned to Melanie. "Is that so?" Melanie wasn't familiar with Hank's tactics, so she could only nod, trusting Alex. "Since you trust each other so much, why did

    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.
