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
Under the special care of the medical staff and the director, Christopher's condition gradually improved.Luke was sincerely happy for him. "Mr. Bolton, it looks like you can be discharged soon."Christopher wasn’t too concerned about the improvement of his condition. He was still in confusion, and was far from happy. He took the warm water from the nurse, and drank it. Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped.That day, Talia confessed that she didn’t save him. Another girl carried him out in the fire. Who was that?Christopher's eyes flashed. "Luke. Go and investigate what happened at the fire scene thoroughly. I want to know everything, no matter the cost."Luke knew that Christopher took it seriously, so he acted quickly. "I’m on it, sir."Christopher rubbed his brows, upset. He fell asleep after lunch. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dusk.Dinner was light lean meat porridge and a few side dishes. While they were eating, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna and Levian saw him, and smiled.After noticing their gaze, McCain's expression returned to normal. He walked toward them casually."Luna, did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a gentle smile.Luna was disgusted by his smile, and responded coldly, "Yeah."Levian grinned playfully, and said, "How about you? You looked tired."McCain’s smile froze. He looked a little panicky, and made an excuse to leave. "It's almost time. Let's find our seats."He left quickly afterward.Luna stared at him coldly. McCain looked weird to her."Why are you staring at him? Charmed?" Levian asked. He seemed jealous.Luna looked at Levian, and smiled, "Yeah, by you."Levian’s smile widened.McCain left the building and called Matt, but Matt didn’t answer. He gripped the phone, tightly and cursed under his breath.-A spotlight shone on a man, who walked to the stage under applause.Luna also clapped."That’s Gerald Bell, the president of Bell Group, the leading Group in Franconia,"
Luna opened the door, and saw Levian leaning against the door frame with a helpless expression."What's wrong?"Levian shrugged. "The door lock of the smaller bedroom is broken. I can't get in."Luna glanced at the smaller bedroom, then looked at Levian suspiciously. "You didn't break it, right?"Levian immediately retorted, "Of course not!"Luna stared at him doubtfully.Levian touched his nose, and said in disappointment, "I'll take the sofa, then."Luna pondered, and whispered, "The master bedroom is enough for both of us."She couldn’t bear to let Levian sleep on the sofa in the living room. Besides, she trusted him.Levian smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. "Thanks, Luna."Luna blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was curious, how did Levian know that?Levian put his arm on Luna's shoulders, and entered the master bedroom."You go take a shower first," he offered."Okay."Luna walked to the bathroom with her clothes. Not long after, the sound o
Benito looked at Juan, and winked at his subordinates. His subordinates walked toward the Hellers."I want to know who sent them," Benito commanded in a deep voice.The Hellers were terrified, and spilled everything.One of Benito's subordinates walked to Benito. He nodded politely to Levian, and reported in a low voice, "A man named McCain sent them."Levian's expression changed.He knew it!"What should we do with them?" Benito's subordinate asked.Benito looked at Levian, and asked, "Levian, what do you say? I can keep McCain under custody.""Teach them a lesson, and make them cooperate," Levian said with a dangerous grin. "As for McCain, I have a plan for him."He looked at Luna in the car. McCain would never take the risk if he actually had feelings for Luna and cared for her. He wondered if he was McCain's target, or if this had something to do with the business summit."Okay," Benito said. He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Take care of them and make the
The cemetery was ahead."Levy, they slowed down," Luna said. She frowned, confused.Levian quickly turned the steering wheel, and made an emergency 180-degree turn.Luna quickly grabbed her seat belt and closed her eyes after seeing the bright lights from the car tailing them. She then looked at Levian in confusion, wondering what he was up to.She was terrified when she saw Levian drive toward that car. They were going to collide! Suddenly, she heard a sharp friction sound, and both cars passed by each other.Levian turned the steering wheel again and circled around that car.He smiled and assured Luna, "Don't be afraid, Luna. Everything will be fine. Trust me."Immediately, Luna was calm.The driver of the car tailing them seemed irritated by Levian's provocation; he sped up, and tried to slam into their car.Levian grinned; he sped up as well, and drove away from that car.The driver seemed to realize something; he quickly slowed down, and turned around to drive out of the
Luna carefully poked Levian's arm.He grabbed her hand, and quickly pulled her toward him, "I'm your boyfriend."He gritted his teeth. No one knew how much he wanted to punch McCain when he saw that slimeball approaching Luna.Luna grinned, amused. "He's just a friend. You're my sweetheart."Levian was the best! No one deserved her attention except him.Hearing that, Levian was pleased and smiled. He put his hand against Luna's palm, their fingers intertwined.The driver suddenly braked when passing through an alley, and their bodies leaned forward."What happened?" Luna asked. She looked anxiously at Matt, the local driver she and Levian hired."Something ran through just now," Matt explained while unbuckling his seat belt. "I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by. She pointed in the direction, and asked, "Was it that cat?"Matt looked in the direction of her finger. "I don't see any cat. Probably a stray
Levian looked handsome and gentle under the spotlight. He took the microphone, and said slowly, "It's my honor to deliver my speech today. This summit brings together business talents from all over the world..."Levian kept his eyes on Luna as he spoke, and she concentrated on his speech.They noticed each other's gaze, and smiled.McCain tried to chat with Luna but noticed her gaze. He bit his lip, jealous. He quickly took his phone, and showed it to Luna, "Hey, Luna, I found the emails."Luna was too focused on Levian's speech, so McCain’s interruption annoyed her. She grabbed it, and read the emails. While Luna was reading the email, McCain looked at Levian and smirked. Levian's expression changed, and he spoke faster.Luna briefly read two emails. They were McCain's remarks about music, and how much he missed her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t find any confession.Still, she was a bit moved by the memories. She returned the phone to McCain, and said, "Than
Levian and Luna turned around, and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes."You look so beautiful today! It took me a while to recognize you."He observed Luna as he spoke.Luna frowned, uncomfortable with his gaze, and asked politely, "Do you know me?"That man was a stranger to her."Oh, don't you remember me?" The man clutched his chest as if he was hurt, and sighed. "I'm McCain. We were in the same music camp for three months, when you were seventeen."Luna thought for a while, and finally remembered him. She nodded, and smiled politely. "Oh, yes. It’s nice to meet you again.""I'm so glad I come. It's good to see you again." McCain smiled happily.Levian stared at McCain with a frightening expression that hinted at anger.Music camp, huh?He could sense McCain's intention.Luna noticed Levian's expression, and said to McCain politely, "The party is about to start. Let's take our seats."She wanted to leave, but McCain blocked her way. "I missed you so much. I l
