In all his years of practice, he had never seen any doctor with the guts to perform such a risky surgery on children. However, Melody's hands were exceptionally steady and accurate when holding the sharp blade.Despite her seemingly weak appearance, she presented an unfathomable set of skills, each and every movement necessarily calculated.Zein's eyes widened, watching as Melody worked with absolute confidence in her blade.After all, brain surgery was unlike most other surgeries, considering that the tissue was extremely delicate and fragile. Even professionals would find themselves making mistakes in the process, since it was also quite a risky procedure.This was exactly why most patients who had undergone brain surgery would end up with side effects even after they survived this procedure.Zein felt his heart being consumed with panic, his palms sweating profusely. He just could not believe that this young woman before him managed to perfectly carry out the surgery.As secon
After being monitored closely, Amelia's condition had completely stabilized, and she was allowed to transfer to a regular ward instead.Melody appeared and called for a nurse, handing her a black credit card. "Transfer her to the best ward in your hospital. This card has no PIN, so please help me handle this. Thank you."Despite having been in the industry for a while, the nurse had yet to see anyone so generous. The ward upgrade sounded like nothing but buying groceries to Melody."Okay, right away, miss."Returning to her station, the nurse could not help but mention this to her colleagues."Do you guys remember the patient in Bed 3? Her cousin is so rich! She's just requested for the best ward without batting an eye!"The colleagues seemed envious. "That little girl is lucky to have a cousin like her in a situation like this. Pretty, rich, and loves her deeply! She couldn't ask for more!"The nurse was then reminded of how frail Amelia seemed as she lay in the hospital bed, h
Rife Group was once one of the most important companies in Bayridge. It was a shame that their CEO turned out to be a lazy piece of trash who only sought out pleasure. Worse, he even gambled away half of the family's assets and got his mistress pregnant.Mrs. Rife was understandably furious, so the two ended up fighting for custody of their child, quite literally fighting in court, which ended up becoming quite the talk within the city.With no evidence presented, Mr. Rife wished to divorce his wife without giving her anything. However, Mrs. Rife pushed through and was able to win the case despite the lack of evidence, receiving what she was owed as his ex-wife.Since everyone was focused on the gossip, no one realized that the person who had helped Mrs. Rife in this unwinnable case was none other than Luke himself.Melody raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to be so capable. Then why didn't you continue working in this line? Why did you end up becoming an assistant instead?"
Dwade was in agony. In his desperation, he screamed, "You bitch! You’ll pay for this! I’ll sue you! Argh!"His cruel shouts reminded Amelia of the time when she was abused, and she trembled in fear.Irwin noticed her fear and grief, and held her little hand to comfort her. He said gently, "It's okay. Don’t worry, we won’t let him hurt you."Luke also pitied Amelia for what she had been through. He patted her back, and said softly, "Don’t be afraid. Tell us, do you want to go with him?"Amelia was deeply frightened. She tried to curl herself up into a ball to seek a sense of security. "N-No...""Bullshit! I’m your father! Come here, you fucking brat!" Dwade yelled.Irwin glared at Dwade. "You heard her!"A middle-aged man about the same age as Dwade, unable to stand it anymore, chimed in. "Hey, he’s her father. You can’t deny that. Don’t stop him from taking back his daughter!"When Dwade saw someone supporting him, he nodded repeatedly. "That's right! I doubt your intentions. Y
Having said that, Melody dragged Dwade to the elevator and kicked him in, ignoring his piercing wails. A moment later, security threw him out of the building. When Melody returned, Amelia was still trembling. She was in a terrible state. The moment she saw Melody, she threw herself into Melody’s arms, hugging and crying loudly."Mel..."She had a lot to say, but at the moment, words failed her. She could only cry and vent her grief. Dwade was cruel—he was the biggest nightmare in her life. Her mother had never been with her, too. This was the first time she felt protected.Amelia huddled in Melody's arms, like a frightened little lamb. Melody felt distressed for her, and rubbed her head gently. "You’re safe now, Amy. I’m here. No one can hurt you." Melody stroked Amelia’s back rhythmically, coaxing her gently to sleep. "Sleep well. I’m not going anywhere.""Thank god…" one of the onlookers whispered. The rest nodded in agreement.There were too many tragedies in the world. T
Luke took out his phone, and started drafting the indictment.Melody saw him typing, and asked, "Are you working on the legal documents? Do you need a laptop?"Luke waved his hand dismissively. "It’s okay, I’m almost done."Melody admired Luke's intelligence and ability. Too bad she couldn’t recruit him, since he was Christopher’s assistant.In less than ten minutes, Luke put his phone back in his pocket. "Done!"Melody was surprised. "That’s fast!""I’ve sent the soft copy of the indictment and custody application to your inbox for you to print out later. I also attached the domestic violence regulations and other important documents. With these, you’ll definitely win the case.”Luke’s work efficiency was astonishing. Melody opened her inbox, and looked at the neatly arranged documents with a smile. “Thank you, I really appreciate it.”Luke remembered his mission, and quickly said, "Mr. Bolton sent me to help you. You should thank him instead, Miss Nolan.""I beg your pardon?
Ten thousand?Zein frowned. "I won’t betray my idol for that!"Luke was helpless. He knew the salary of a chief physician in a top-ranked hospital wouldn’t be low, but it wasn’t enough to make them filthy rich either.So, he offered, "How about one hundred thousand dollars?"Luke was confident that Zein would be tempted, but as a precaution, he added, “I just want to thank the doctor for saving my only child. Please, doc.”That convinced Zein, who agreed with the offer."Okay, I'll do you a favor." Zein dropped his voice into a whisper. "You have to swear not to tell anyone about our deal. What’s your number? I’ll send it through Whatsapp."Luke was so excited, his hands were trembling. He was tired of looking for the top-notch doctor, but now, he was so close to getting an important clue. With the photo, he could search her using pupil recognition technology.The photo was sent quickly, and Luke eagerly tapped it open to see it. She was said to be an angel!Zein approached
"Sent," Luke said.Soon, the elevator reached the fourth floor, where ward three was located at. "Alright, stay here," Christopher said. He quickened his pace, and left.Luke wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was rejoicing, Christopher's steps suddenly halted. Luke became nervous again, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Bolton, sir?"Could it be the photo?Christopher's face was tense, and his cold eyes fell on Luke. "Aside from you and her assistant, did anyone else approach her?"Luke was stunned. "No, Mr. Bolton."Christopher was satisfied, and left again.Luke saw the strange change in his expression, and realized it. Christopher was jealous!In the ward, the smell of disinfectant lingered for a long time.Melody glanced dd at the time, and instructed Irwin, "Get me a car and a hotel room. I’ll stay there for a few days.""Yes, Miss. Rest well, and I'll get it done ASAP," Irwin replied immediately. After Irwin went out, Melody was the only one left in the huge wa
