"Get him the best doctor—now!" Christopher said.Melissa became nervous when she heard Leroy's name. "What happened to Leroy?!""He’s poisoned, and is in the operating room," Christopher told her truthfully."What?!" Melissa's voice rose, and her eyes widened.She finally got the chance to meet her son after so many years, only to discover he was poisoned. The revelation was too much for her; her breathing turned unsteady, and she eventually fainted.Melody hurriedly laid her on the ground, and pressed her chest continuously.Christopher looked at her skilled first aid techniques, wondering. She looked like a professional. He wondered how many more secrets about she had in store for him, waiting to be revealed.However, Melody didn’t even look at him. All her focus was on Melissa.Not long after, Melissa coughed.Melody stopped, and sighed in relief. "Are you okay?"Melissa seemed not to have heard the question, instead muttering, "My son..."She looked miserable and sad. Su
Melody signaled to Christopher with her eyes; they left the ward together, leaving space for Melissa and Leroy."Have you found out who poisoned Leroy?" Melody asked in a low voice."Lant bribed a man who met Leroy in the orphanage to poison Leroy. He’s been secretly monitoring Leroy for some time," Christopher said slowly.So, Lant had already made up his mind long ago.Melody lowered her head to ponder for a moment, then spat coldly, "That man is cunning and insidious."Then, she turned Christopher. "If he knows Leroy isn’t dead, he’ll try again."Lant had lost Organization V, and he wouldn’t forgive Melissa for that. Thinking that, her expression became solemn. "Enough talk about Leroy. Let's talk about us." Christopher looked at Melody. "I didn’t know you can do surgery."Melody licked her lips after realizing she couldn’t hide it anymore. As she thought about how to answer him, Luke appeared. He had heard what Christopher said.Shit! Did Christopher find out that Melody
Christopher was jealous, but he couldn’t do anything now.He turned around, looking livid. His jawline was tense, and he gritted his teeth in frustration without making a sound.At the same time, Philip, far away on the Goska Island, was watching the sky thoughtfully. He had complicated feelings regarding Albert, who was involved in this mess because of him. After pondering for a moment, he took out his phone and called Albert.Albert's emotions were stable after being comforted by Melody, but he was down again when he received Philip's call. This was their first call in a long time.Philip's gentle voice came from the other end. "Al, how are you?"That familiar voice almost made Albert cry, but he held it back."I'm not your biological brother. You don't have to do this," Albert said calmly, trying not to sound aggressive.There was a moment of silence on both ends.Philip heard the frustration and displeasure in Albert’s words, and frowned slightly. "You’re still my little br
Luna had been pestered and kissed for several minutes just now. Her face was a bit red at the moment. When she was about to compromise, she suddenly saw Christopher and Melody behind Levian.She instantly grew hot, and the blush spread from her cheeks to her neck."No more!" Luna roared, angry and ashamed as she pushed Levian away. Glaring angrily at him, she pretended to be calm and greeted Melody before making a hasty exit. Levian, Melody, and Christopher stood there. Their eyes met, and the air between them was awkward."Look what you've done, Bolton!" Levian put his hands in his pockets, glaring at Christopher with resentment and displeasure.Christopher remained poker-faced, his posture modest and polite. "Don't look at me like that. I drove her back."Levian was still brooding over what had just happened. He snorted, and turned to Melody. "Mel, how are things going with Organization V?"Since Levian didn’t know about Leroy yet, Melody didn’t tell him about Lant. She did n
At the same time, in the hospital elevator…Leroy hugged Melissa tightly. He stared at the man before him with burning eyes, and asked, "Who are you?"Half an hour ago, there was a sudden circuit trip in the ward, and the nurse called the technician. However, the technician suddenly held Melissa and Leroy hostage.The man ignored Leroy.They were descending. After reaching the basement, the elevator door opened. He turned, and said fiercely, "Get out!"Melissa found his gaze familiar. As she was thinking about it, the man yelled at her."Get out if you want to live!"He then pushed Melissa out with all his strength."Mom!" Leroy quickly walked out to Melissa's side, and held her.The man suddenly laughed. "What deep love between mother and son!"Melissa's face paled. How did he know that they were mother and son? Could it be…?Melissa looked at him. She finally got the answer after he took his hat off, revealing a broken eyebrow.She curled her lips, and sneered."What a s
He took out a small detonator from the lining of his coat, and grinned wickedly. "Go to hell!"He laughed wildly, his eyes bloodshot, ready to press the detonator.Just as he was about to do the deed, his wrist suddenly hurt. A strong force pushed him aside—his fingers loosened, and the detonator in his hand fell to the ground.He turned around angrily; surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the person in question."How?!"It was the male nurse who had been knocked unconscious by him when he was in the ward. The male nurse was wearing a mask, staring at Lant coldly.He kicked Lant, and the detonator slipped far away.Lant became more ferocious and twisted. He roared and tried to punch the male nurse in the face, but the male nurse dodged them one by one. In fact, Lant even received several critical blows.The male nurse was fast, accurate, and cruel. Lant couldn’t avoid his attacks.Lant shouted angrily, "Who the hell are you?!"The male nurse was much too skillful. He tu
Albert took a few steps forward, and walked to Melody. "Stop trying to sow discord between us. What makes you think I'll betray her for you?"Melody blinked, surprised.Did Lant threaten Albert?Seeing Lant's shocked face, Albert smiled and recounted what happened before. "You may not have expected it, but I sent someone to contact Christopher and told him all your plans. "He looked at Melody again, his eyebrows drooping—he looked a little pitiful. "Mel, sorry for not telling you the truth. I don't want you to worry."Seeing his aggrieved look, Melody felt a little relieved. Albert, who once needed to be taken care of, could take care of himself now.Christopher pursed her lips and stood calmly before Melody, blocking Albert's affectionate gaze.Lant looked at Albert, dumbfounded.So, they were in a league together? He was the one who fell into their trap?Lant’s psyche collapsed.When they weren’t paying attention to him, he rushed toward Melissa. Since he had met a dead en
Cyril shook his head with a sigh. "I’ve done too many bad things back then. I didn't want to get you involved, so I left. I'm sorry.""I was pregnant when you left me!" Melissa growled."What?!" Cyril looked at her in confusion.They had a child? That was something he had never imagined.Cyril looked at Leroy standing next to Melissa, and asked nervously, "Melissa… Is it him…?"Melissa wiped away her tears, and gently pulled Leroy closer to Cyril. "Roy, this is your father."Looking at Cyril, Leroy suddenly didn’t know what to say. His eyes were wandering. He didn’t know how to face a father he had never met.Leroy opened his mouth, but the sound of "Dad" was stuck in his throat. He couldn’t voice it out.Cyril was upset to see Leroy's reaction. He curled his lips, and laughed self-deprecatingly. "I was so wrong! It's all my fault!"He sighed at the ceiling, and a tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye."Cyril, I'm happy enough to see you alive," Melissa looked at C
