Melody turned her head away because she was experiencing an unprecedented amount of embarrassment. It was a textbook example of her worst fears coming true.

Swiftly, she averted her gaze and prepared to depart.

However, her hurried departure was interrupted when she tripped over a pebble, nearly falling over due to her high heels.

Christopher, with his quick reflexes, rushed to her aid, catching her by the waist just in time.

Melody expected pain from the fall. She was surprised to find herself safely in Christopher's grasp and inches away from his attractive face.

The smell of tobacco that lingered on Christopher was mild and pleasant.

With a raised eyebrow, he teased, "What is this? Playing hard to get?"

His demeanor was relaxed, as if their previous awkward moment had never occurred.

Caught off guard by his aid and playful comment, Melody reflected on how this man had transformed from an aloof individual into a flirtatious one.

She hastily stood up, distancing herself, and

I'm heading there right now."In a swift motion, she turned the car around and floored it, racing toward Fairmont Hospital.Arriving breathless at the hospital, Melody quickly asked the nurse at the reception counter, "Excuse me, where is the orthopedics department?"The nurse repli

    "Nat! I am your mother. How could you support that vile woman?" Olivia felt that she was on the verge of passing out, struggling to grasp the situation. It was one thing for Christopher to fall prey to this temptress's charms, but how could Natasha?"Come back here!" Olivia shouted.Natasha grasped Melody's arm tightly, treating Melody as if she were her most cherished sister-in-law. Defiantly, she retorted, "I refuse!""You! You're driving me nuts! How did I end up raising two ungrateful children?"Natasha appeared to have totally forgotten her past actions toward Melody.

    The receptionist pulled the door wide open for the visitor and stated quietly, "Ms. Nolan, you have a visitor. Ms. Williams... is here to see you, and I couldn't prevent her entry."Jasmine stood behind her, dressed elegantly in a long gown with her black hair falling over her shoulders, beaming as she greeted, "Good morning, Ms. Nolan."Melody's brow twitched.Since Jasmine was here, Melody quickly sent the receptionist away, "Understood. You may go back."Jenson, Melody's personal secretary, stepped in to manage the situation. Despite his lack of fondness for Jasmine, he maintained proper manners."Ms. Williams, please come in."While serving Jasmine tea, Jenson hinted subtly, "May I know why you've come without prior notice? What's the reason for your unexpected visit?"Jasmine remained deafeningly silent in response to his inquiry. She sat down and pretended that the prior embarrassing occurrence on stage had nothing to do with her."I'm here as a business partner to see ho

    "Mr. Bolton, you are too kind. It's only right for me to help," the hospital dean said swiftly and modestly.Olivia, with her eyes brimming with tears once more, returned to Natasha's side.Seeing his mother's emotional state, Christopher, concerned about its impact on Natasha, suggested, "Why don't you head home and rest? I'll stay with her for now."Olivia, tearful, looked at her son and implored, "Do whatever you can for her, please!"Although Christopher intended to do so anyway, Olivia had a habit of repeating herself."Do you get it? Go home now," he reassured her.Reluctantly, Olivia departed, looking back repeatedly with worry.The room felt more spacious with just the siblings remaining.Natasha remained curled up in bed, fiddling with her hairpin.Her already petite face seemed even smaller after her hospital stay. Her lips were pallid and bloodless. Despite receiving top-notch nutritional care, her fragile state was unmistakable.Christopher found himself pondering

Melody soothed Luna's nerves and anticipation as she showed her the message.Shortly after, a man with a dark skin tone, likely another racer, approached the entrance.The attendant greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Ruiz."The attendant respectfully acknowledged him as "Mr. Ruiz."Cecil Ruiz gestured slightly, "These two ladies here are my friends. They made it slightly late. Can you let them in?"Recognizing that they were with a racer, the attendant stepped aside and said, "Please, go ahead, ladies.""Thanks."As Melody and Luna walked in with Cecil, he looked back at them, curious, "Levian sent me to fetch his sister. Which one of you is she?"With a playful glint, Melody responded, "Why don't you take a guess?"Cecil observed them both, one strikingly beautiful with a captivating figure, the other sweet. The second one seemed more like the typical girl next door.Turning to Luna, he guessed, "I'd say you're Levian's sister, right?"Caught

    "That's enough. Let's all take a step back. The race is about to start," Cecil finally found an opportunity to de-escalate."We should all take our seats and enjoy the race."Luna, not wanting Melody to get into trouble on her account, stepped in and gently pulled at her sleeve, "Mel, it's fine. Let's head to our seats. The race is about to begin. Don't bother with them."With a firm look, Melody released Tina's hand, "Alright, let's go."Following Cecil, they made their way to their seats, ignoring the sharp, resentful glares from Tina and Sadie.Cecil had secured them prime seats in the front row.While the racers on the track were ready to spring into action, Luna's attention was focused solely on Levian.Dressed in his red and black racing attire, he radiated a mix of dynamic energy and striking allure.As the host announced the start and the intense music filled the air, the race officially kicked off.Luna had her eyes fixed on Levian, as she was utterly enamored with hi

    Calling out "Levy," Luna quickly blushed, her voice barely fading before her cheeks turned a bright shade of red.Tina, observing this interaction, clenched her hands, her irritation barely concealed.Internally, she fumed, thinking Luna was putting on an act of innocence to garner attention.After a brief exchange, Levian, feeling the discomfort of his damp racing suit, decided to leave to change, "I need to change out of this. I'll be back soon."Luna understood this and encouraged him, "Sure, go ahead, Levy."Melody, sensing an opportunity, leaned in with a teasing grin, "Wow, things seem to be progressing quickly, aren't they?"Luna, slightly flustered, denied, "No... Not at all. There's no progress. Stop saying that.""But you're already on a first-name basis with him. I've always known that you're quite the charmer. I pity those who are blind to it. My brother has good taste, after all."Their playful banter continued, hinting at a hopeful romantic future for Luna.Tina

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.

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 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.

    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.

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

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.

    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.

"I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by.

    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.
