"You figured it out?" Melanie looked at Hank with some surprise.

"Based on what I know about you, it's unlikely that a person like Mr. Hardy would be your friend, nor would he help you rescue someone," Hank replied steadily.

"Do you know me that well?" Melanie was still a bit surprised.

She had only met Hank three times...

"Although we haven't known each other long, we've experienced near-deaths together several times, which is enough for me to see a person's true nature," Hank said with certainty.

Melanie pursed her lips and said, "The friend I mentioned is indeed not the Mr. Hardy you just saw. The one here a few days ago was a fake Mr. Hardy, impersonated by my friend. He might have gotten into trouble during the gunfight. Can you..."

"Help you find him?" Hank quickly followed up.

"Yes." Melanie nodded heavily.

"I already planned to."

Hank sat down and calmly informed her, "On the way here, I heard that there was a fierce gunfight here last night with many casualti

    Hank lifted his head and sniffed. "Are you hungry? I don’t smell it." Melanie pursed her lips. The scent she mentioned and what Hank understood were completely different. She shook her head, not wanting to explain. Her mind was not clear at the moment, so it was possible that what she had just smelled was a hallucination. She closed her eyes for a nap. Half an hour later, the car came to a halt. Melanie immediately opened her eyes, looking at the manor outside the car window. She heard Hank behind her say, "We're here." Someone outside opened the car door for Melanie and pushed her in a wheelchair into the manor. Another person in a wheelchair was Alex, who had been waiting for them at the door. "I'm so happy to see you back!" "Are you happy to see me or her?" Hank asked sharply. "Of course, I'm happy to see both of you!" Alex said as he moved his wheelchair behind Melanie, inspecting the bandage on her head. "Is this injury serious?" "Not as serious as your b

    In the vast field, the night was pitch black. Dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the wind blew gently, causing the grass that was taller than a person to rustle. Melanie swiftly parked her car by the roadside and ran into the field with her medical kit on her back, paying no mind to the eerie surroundings. "Dr. Jones?" "Dr. Jones!" Two cars followed behind her, and Hank's bodyguards jumped out one after another. However, they could only see Melanie's car; her figure had already disappeared into the tall grass, leaving no trace. "Quickly report to the boss! Send more people for back up! We'll split into three groups to search for her! We must ensure Dr. Jones's safety!" the leading bodyguard decisively ordered. The group dispersed and charged into the grass, disappearing from sight in a flash. - Melanie ran in the direction where the perfume scent was coming from. The scent was faint, undetectable to others, but she could clearly distinguish it. "Jefford!" "J

    "Strange. It's not cold at all tonight." Melanie curled her slender legs and snuggled into Jeffrey's embrace, letting him hug her completely as they shared a coat. "Heaven is being kind. They want us to lie here a little longer." Jeffrey gently brushed her nose, smiling indulgently. "How did you find me?" "Did you bring a bottle of perfume?" Melanie looked around him. "You mean this?" Jeffrey pulled out a bottle of perfume from behind him, exactly the one Melanie remembered. The bottle was tipped over and all the perfume spilled out, leaving it empty. "I followed the scent and guessed you might be around here," Melanie said. "So you came running dressed like this to find me?" He tugged the coat tighter around her, worried she might get cold. The tender moment they had just shared made Jeffrey realize a lot of things. He used to be torn about his dual identities, wanting her to love him, yet fearing she loved Jefford and not him. Yet she had said she didn't care

    At that moment, the voice of a bodyguard suddenly came from a nearby bush. "Dr. Jones?" "Dr. Jones!" "Wait!" Melanie hurriedly pressed down on the man's hand. "They're looking for me..." Jeffrey smirked, easily breaking free from her small hand and kissed her to silence her. "I don't care!" "But... they're very close..." Melanie managed to say during a brief pause in his kisses. Jeffrey stopped for a moment and listened to the nearby voices. He said slightly smugly, "This place is like a maze. Even if they're close, it's enough time for us to finish our business..." "But, hmm!" Her words were once again swallowed by his deep kiss. Her hesitation was washed away by his passionate kiss, and she couldn't help but respond to him with equal passion. The bodyguards came closer. "Dr. Jones? Dr. Jones, where are you?" They called her name repeatedly. Melanie's heart skipped a beat. It felt as if the bodyguards would part the grass in front of them any second and find

    "Dr. Jones, let's go!" Hank's bodyguards said. "Wait." Melanie looked at the grass, feeling empty inside as she watched Jefford walk away silently. For a moment, she was tempted to chase after him and explain, but... "Dr. Jones, what are you looking for here? Do you need our help?" The bodyguards were puzzled. "No... I'm fine." Melanie regained her composure. Since Jefford didn't want Hank to know he was here, she had to help him keep it a secret. "Let's go." Before turning away, she glanced back in the direction he had hid in. Those familiar eyes weren’t there anymore. - Melanie rode back to the mansion in the bodyguard's car. As soon as she entered, the guard at the door said to her, "Dr. Jones, the master has been waiting for you in the study." "Okay." Melanie first went to her room to freshen up, then hurried to the study to find Hank. "Why aren't you sleeping yet at this hour?" she asked. "Didn’t you just come back?" Hank put down his book and looked up

    "Where are you now?" "Do you still use this number?" The next morning, Melanie couldn't wait to send a message to Jefford as soon as she woke up. After a while, she didn't receive a reply. It then occurred to her that their parting in the field was too hasty, and she had forgotten to ask him how to contact him. Moreover, Jefford had mentioned that Nathan was after him this time. It was also possible that Linda had bribed Nathan's subordinates who were assassins. Jefford might be concerned about secrecy and safety, so he wouldn't directly contact her on her usual number. Thinking of this, Melanie hesitated, then decided to retract the two messages. Now, she could only passively wait for him to contact her, which was an uncomfortable feeling, especially when she thought of the lonely look in his eyes as he walked away. - Last night, Melanie had called Professor Marshall to let him know she was safe. He had returned to work normally at the temporary hospital. She a

    Melanie still didn't receive a reply from Jefford. She tried calling his phone, but it couldn't be connected. It seemed like his old number had been deactivated. Melanie couldn't help but feel a bit worried. It had been several days, and he hadn't contacted her at all. Could something have happened to him? However, this only strengthened her decision to accompany Hank tonight. If Jefford couldn't deal with Linda in time, she had to first find out Linda's intentions and how she wanted to cooperate with Greg... ­- The butler of Hank's mansion had sent some clothes to Melanie, but there were no formal dresses. Fortunately, today wasn't a banquet, so she picked a slightly more formal dress and quickly applied some makeup before rushing out. Hank was already waiting in the car. When he saw her, his eyes paused for a moment. Melanie subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear and asked, "Is there something on my hair?" "No." Hank withdrew his gaze and smiled. "T

    The door to the luxurious private room opened. Following two waiters, Hank walked in wearing a well-fitted suit and leather shoes. Upon seeing him, Linda chuckled and covered her mouth in a flirtatious manner. “Mr. Hardy, you're quite the joker. Could it be that Mr. Castillo is your new woman?" As she spoke, another woman walked in through the door. The tone of Linda's voice suddenly changed. She never expected that the woman walking in with Hank would turn out to be Melanie! Melanie had disappeared without a trace after leaving the research base in Delfino. During this time, Linda had been sending people to investigate Melanie's whereabouts, fearing that she might secretly meet with Jefford again and form an alliance, or secretly help Jefford win the support of the York family. She never expected Melanie to be Hank’s person. Although Hank was considered a newcomer in the business world, no one had ever dared to suppress him. After all, he had a hand in both legal and

    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.
