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
He lowered his voice, and frowned slightly. "But that group has an intricate network and is deeply hidden, so our investigation is always interrupted. Do we need to change our target...?"Melody took a sip of her warm coffee; her eyes sparkled, and it was proof of her unwavering belief."No, keep investigating. I believe we’re close to getting the results."Jenson nodded obediently. "Yes, Ms. Nolan."Immediately after he exited the door, Melody picked up the letters one after another, thinking about which products would fit Leroy's image without being too flamboyant and alienating the masses.While she was thinking, a sudden phone ring interrupted her thoughts.Her eyes were still staring at the report, so she picked up the phone casually without looking at the screen. "Hello?"She had received many calls from collaborators in the past few days, so she thought this one was one of them.But after the call was connected, there was a long silence on the other end.Melody was a li
A trace of pain could be seen in Christopher's eyes. "...We really can’t go back?"He was still unwilling to give in.Even if Melody once loved him only because she regarded him as a substitute, Christopher was unwilling to accept that they were over.He wanted to marry her again, become her legitimate husband, protect her, care for her, and make her stay so that no one could take her away.Melody sighed, her tone laced with sadness."Christopher, please let me go."Christopher did not expect that she would say that, and was stunned."We’ve missed the best time. I’m really exhausted, both physically and mentally." Melody picked up her bag, stood up, and said her goodbye. "Take good care of yourself, and don't overthink."After saying that, regardless of Christopher's attempts to ask her to stay, she turned around, left, and closed the door.When Luke came in to check, he found Christopher looking at the white ceiling. It took a long time before Christopher came back to his sen
Philip noticed what she was thinking. He caressed her smooth black hair gently, as he used to. "Mel, it’s not your fault. It is my instinct to save you. Even if it happens again, I’ll make the same decision. I’m glad that you’re safe." Melody wiped away her tears. She couldn’t express her feelings at the moment. All she could think about was that Philip was alive, and that he was finally back.Philip took out a piece of tissue for her. Nodding, he said, "I’m back, Mel. I'm glad I can see you again."His eyes were full of deep tenderness, like a sea was trying to accommodate everything Melody had. Looking at Melody up close again, he was overwhelmed with a happiness he couldn’t describe. "You’re running the company very well now. Whenever I check the internet, everyone’s recommending the reality show launched by your company." Philip didn’t hide his admiration for her. "Mel, you did so much better than I thought."Philip was like a guiding light in her life, so Melody was ecstati
