Melody swiftly summoned a doctor to assess Christopher's condition.

Following a comprehensive check-up, the doctor gently informed her, "All of his vital signs seem normal, but there's no indication of him regaining consciousness. Ms. Nolan, could you have been mistaken?"

Melody, confident in what she observed, assured, "No, I wasn't mistaken."

The doctor exhaled a sigh, acknowledging her certainty.

"I'll take a look at him."

She retrieved a set of silver needles she always carried and carefully inserted one into an acupuncture point on his wrist.

The needle entered his skin smoothly. Soon, his wrist was almost fully covered in silver needles.

The doctor looked on, bewildered. He pondered whether this was an attempt to rouse the patient.

In cases of vegetative states, the patient's brain often loses all consciousness, unable to perceive anything internally or externally.

As the doctor was about to mention the futility of her actions, he noticed that Melody was deep in her con

    Melody grabbed a wet towel. She vigorously wiped Christopher's face, even as it left red marks on his skin.He was enthralled by her soft whispers before experiencing a searing pain on his face that felt like someone was scraping off his skin.Realizing that his ruse had been discovered, he raised his numb hand to seize Melody's wrist, which caused havoc on his face.His eyes abruptly opened.The sudden exposure to light blinded him temporarily. He closed his eyes for a moment to adjust before opening them again."Do you enjoy pretending to be in a coma? Is it fun to fool me? Don't you realize…" how much I worried about you.Melody restrained herself from saying the words that were on the tip of her tongue."I just woke up," Christopher's voice rasped, laden with a mix of hoarseness and subtle resentment."Stop lying to me! You don't appear to have just woken up," Melody challenged his pretense.Taking in her lively expression, Christopher allowed a small smile and replied soo

    "I've been lying in bed for too long, my legs felt stiff."Christopher remarked, casting a side glance at the person next to him, his eyes gleaming with a faint smile."You've been taking care of me for quite a while. How about we go for a walk?" he suggested.Sensing his underlying motive, Melody kept her face expressionless and retorted coldly, "If walking is difficult for you, you should stay in your room and rest.""I need some fresh air, or I’ll feel like I’m wasting away here," Christopher complained, looking somewhat dejected."If a walk is what you need, I can ask a nurse to accompany you," Melody said nonchalantly, giving a quick look at Jasmine, who was standing not far off.After saying this, she released his hand and walked away.When she let go, Christopher nearly fell because his legs were still weak.As Melody walked off, he grumbled to himself about her heartlessness.Biting his lip in determination, Christopher bore the pain in his knees and followed her.Hea

    As the tension grew, Philip changed the subject, saying, "Mel, they haven't found the kidnapper yet. You need to be careful for now. I'm worried that those criminals will strike again."He was unsure whether Cyril might target Melody again. However, he could not reveal that the mastermind might be his father. Therefore, subtly reminding her was all he could do."I'm here." Before Melody could reply, Christopher quickly interjected, "And I won't allow anyone to harm her."Her eyes flickered as she listened to his commanding tone. She nodded toward Philip, agreeing, "Alright, I'll stay alert."Melody's phone rang, and Isaiah's name was displayed on the screen.She picked up the call swiftly."Help! Ms. Nolan!"Melody tensed up when she heard his cry for help, wondering if the mastermind behind the scenes had struck."What's wrong?"Isaiah's tone was fraught with distress and despair, he pleaded, "I can't take Mr. Carter's interrogation any longer.

In my heart, you're always young."She quickly complimented her, attempting to calm her down.Resting her head on Linette's shoulder, Melody spoke softly and coquettishly, "I can handle this situation. I just didn't want to cause unnecessary worry. Don't overthink things."Her voice was intentionally gentle

    Melody chuckled suddenly, realizing Christopher's true intentions behind his questioning.Andrew and Levian, playing the role of protective brothers, advised Melody."Let's not get distracted by phones during dinner. Set aside work and handle it afterward.""Right, let's concentrate on our meal."Since Melody did not plan on responding to Christopher's message anyway, she locked her phone screen and put it to one side."It's just some spam, nothing work-related," she said with a smile.…At the hospital, Christopher sneezed suddenly.He also coughed lightly, but it did not distract him from eagerly wanting to look at his chat page with Melody, still excitedly awaiting her response.He squinted his eyes, suspecting that Melody's delayed response might be because she was having dinner with Philip.…Back at Nolan Manor, dinner had concluded.Levian suggested to Melody with a smile, "Why don't you walk Philip out?"He held out hope that Philip and Melody would be together whi

    Christopher began the conversation with an accusation."You mentioned earlier today that your injury was minor, right?" Melody responded, her voice flat and devoid of emotion."Muscle and bone injuries take a long time to heal. I downplayed it, so you wouldn't feel guilty," Christopher replied, his tone laced with bitterness.At that moment, Christopher was lounging on the sofa, legs crossed casually.Hearing Melody's voice seemed to ease the frustration that had been building up in him all afternoon, and he smiled contentedly.He frowned and feigned a hiss of pain, pretending to be in discomfort."The wound is hurting again," he exaggerated.Knowing Christopher well, Melody saw through his act easily. She responded with a hint of sarcasm, "If you're really in pain, why not get it checked by a doctor instead of calling me?"After a moment of silence, Christopher's voice came back, indignant, "That's not a fair thing to say. I was injured because of you. Who else do I turn to?"

It's important to show your gratitude," Linette stated firmly.She was well aware of Levian and Andrew's overly protective tendencies.

    Melody read Levian's lips for a few seconds and rolled her eyes in response when she understood his silent query.Levian's imagination had certainly run wild."Thank you for worrying about me," Christopher expressed, his tone carrying a mix of grace and politeness.In any other situation, he would have driven the person away, but he kept his cool, recognizing Levian as Melody's sibling.Levian regarded him with a puzzled look. This was not the Christopher he knew.As Levian was lost in his thoughts, Andrew entered with a doctor in tow.Post-examination, the doctor noted, "Initially, Mr. Bolton's condition was critical, indicating that he might become comatose, but he has improved significantly lately.

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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

"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.
