On the other hand, Melody's smile faded when she saw Christopher.Beside her, Albert was immediately wary, pulling Melody behind himself. There was no turning back after both men fought physically last time, and they were immediately at arms the instant they saw each other.Christopher, however, was not playing along.He completely ignored Albert aside from shooting him a cool glance from the corner of his eye, and he stared straight at Melody. "We need to talk. Tell the brat to buzz off."Melody frowned. "There's nothing to talk about."Christopher chuckled, his eyes still fixed on her. "Fine. Then I'll tell you directly."Even before Melody said a word, Albert snapped, "Mel doesn't want to talk to you, so leave."He despised Christopher's self-important demeanor the most. And worse of all, he was nothing but a bastard who had Melody but did not treasure her!Even so, Christopher was unfettered. He even raised a brow as he said quietly, "Fine then, Melody. Let's talk about t
Talia kept mumbling to herself, "Chris has already divorced her, but she still had to return and get her greasy paws all over him! I've now lost everything… And she will suffer for this!"With those words, she picked up her mobile phone and ran.Caught by surprise, Yvie yelled, "Stop! What are you going to do?!"All she could do was to watch as Talia disappeared downstairs, and she found herself lodging at a motel.There, she called upon everyone she could—men she slept with, flirted with, or basically had no connections with.Through it all, her spite burned endlessly."Oh, I'm counting on your boys' help then, Mr. King," she purred during the final call. "Bye! I'll call you again when I can."Talia's eyes turned cool as she hung up, her heart shattering as she stared at her bridal photo with Christopher.She was a vow away from becoming Mrs. Bolton.If it was not for Melody messing up her grand plan, she would now be sitting back and enjoying her just rewards!And now, ther
Levian then said, "I've checked. It's not Benjamin Nolan—the geezer's been staying put at home."Albert frowned—if it was not Benjamin, could it be the people who tried to throw a vase on top of Melody's head before?His heart raced with fear even as he remembered Philip's words.'Where are you, brother? Didn't you promise to protect her? Where are you now?'Nonetheless, the three men conferred among themselves and decided to head to the precinct again to check the cameras in an attempt to find any clues.-Melody had her eyes closed, planning her next step, when the MPV suddenly stopped.She opened her eyes in reflex to find them in the middle of nowhere.At the same time, the burly man beside her saw that her eyes were opened and dragged her out of the vehicle to Talia, nodding, "What do we do with her, Ms. Stewart?""What else are we going to do?!" Talia asked icily with a glance at Melody. "Kill her, of course!"She laughed and led the way, beckoning for both men to follo
Christopher was absolutely horrified—Talia was utterly agitated, and a little slip would see Melody falling off the building.However, he had to hide his fear as he said patiently, "Just bring her over here! We can talk about this.""Talk? Talk about what?! Or are you saying that you don't hate me even after all my dirty secrets are out?!" Talia screamed, pinching Melody's cheek viciously. "What did she do to bewitch you?! Did she do it with this face?!"She whipped out a knife from her back, tapping it lightly against Melody's fair cheeks.From up close, Melody's flawless complexion only left Talia's envy flaring."Don't hurt her!" Christopher bellowed right then. "I can give you anything you want—just let her go!"His words hit Talia where it hurt.Her eyes widened as she turned stiffly towards him, staring at him in disbelief. "You care so much about her, do you?!" she shrieked before chortling weirdly from her throat as her gaze turned ice cold. "I wanted your love the mos
Levian wished to stay with Melody, but he knew that he needed to ultimately respect her boundaries. Him being here was not exactly helping either. "Ah you…" He brushed a few strands of drenched hair to the side, speaking softly. "Don't force yourself. Just call me anytime you need me."After he disappeared from her vision into the long corridor, Melody buried her face into her palms, as if she could no longer hold herself together.She had not even repaid Christopher for the last time he saved her life, and yet, she put him in danger once more. Moreover, she spoke rather harshly to him just a few days ago, spouting venom with every word. Despite her current strong personality, she was still a rather soft-hearted person. Melody could only pray for Christopher at this very moment, hoping that she had managed to stop the bleeding in time.However, the peace did not last long, as a loud cry interrupted her thoughts."Where is my son? Where is he?!" Olivia, who was initially accom
The woman did not look like a nurse, nor did she hold a staff card. Moreover, she did not look like a doctor within this hospital at all.While the crowd was drowned in confusion, Robert excitedly pinched his thigh to make sure he was not hallucinating…And it did hurt! He was not dreaming at all!Eagerly greeting the woman, his eyes were filled with gratitude as he spoke. "Ms. Althea! What brings you here?"Melody kept it short and simple, glancing over at Christopher as she replied briefly, "I came to save him."Upon hearing the name Althea, many started gasping in reaction. Was this really the rumored expert doctor? Who knew she would be such an ethereal beauty!However, they did not understand why she would come all the way just to save Christopher. Could it be that they had some kind of connection?This was something that confused Robert as well, but he decided to not speak up any further on this. Despite this, he still handed her Christopher's report. "Here's his current
That was until the images before him were ripped apart, and he was once again situated in the middle of that fire.The smoke flooded the space around him, suffocating him to the point of losing consciousness. In a daze, someone took his hand and carried him on their back.The girl sounded determined, telling him the most hopeful promise he had ever received with her gentle voice. "Don't be scared, I'll get you out of here."Who was that girl in the end?As three hours passed, Melody snipped the end of the last stitch, finishing up her work. She then checked Christopher's blood pressure. 90/60.It seemed to have returned to its normal state, which proved her methods to be effective.Melvin had been practicing medicine for many years and had witnessed countless cases, yet this was the most thrilling one he had ever had the honor to experience.He personally took one of the towels provided by the nurse and handed it to Melody, praising her. "Ms. Althea, your skills are absolutely
Melody stepped forward and said coldly, "Albert, don't argue with the mad dog."She looked tired. With her slender frame, she resembled fragile white porcelain.Albert quickly went over to support her. "Mel, you don't look good."Melody waved her hand. "I’m fine, just a little tired."When Talia saw Melody approaching, she was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire. She glared daggers at Melody, screeching, "Bitch! You've ruined everything! I’ll kill you!"Melody glanced at her with indifferent eyes. "Everything you have was stolen through deception, and that’s what makes you vulnerable. I’m not interested in being part of your bleak life."Then, she turned to Albert. "Call the police. Let them deal with this criminal who attempted murder."Albert nodded. "Will do!"In just a few words, Talia's fate was determined. No matter how much she howled, no one paid attention to her.Even as the police arrived and took her away, she was still turning around and swearing resentf
