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
Christopher narrowed his eyes and smiled gently, looking at her with a burning gaze.Melody couldn’t stand his gaze, so she warned, "Hey, we're in front of the police station."Christopher let go of her and stood aside like a good boy."Let's go. Drive me home." Melody's eyes hinted at reluctance.Christopher blinked a few times, and smiled. "I have a gift for you. Come to my place first."Melody met his gaze. His eyes were so hot, he seemed to want to swallow her alive. She wanted to agree, but hesitated after seeing his gaze."What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."Christopher’s eyes drooped, and he looked a little upset.Melody nodded. "Okay."She turned around and walked toward his car. She didn’t see him smiling at his success.The car stopped at the entrance of the Bolton Manor.They walked into the manor side by side. There was a muffled sound behind them as Christopher closed the door."What gift...mm..."Before Melody could finish her words, she was pressed aga
After Melody dressed, she went to Nolan Enterprise.She walked in casually as usual, but she was keenly aware of the employees' eyes on her and their unexplained smiles."Ms. Nolan, someone just sent a bouquet for you. It's on your desk," the receptionist said with a smile.Melody nodded.She pushed open the office door and immediately closed it as soon as she entered. Taking out her phone, and took a careful look at her neck. She was relieved when she found no suspicious red marks on it.She put her phone back, and looked at the gigantic bouquet on the table.Was it from Christopher?Melody walked over doubtfully. The flowers were delicate and beautiful, with crystal clear water droplets rolling on the petals and a light fragrance. She noticed a card on top of the flowers.'Wish you a happy day.'She saw Albert's signature on the card. It was from him.Melody looked at the bright red rose bouquet thoughtfully, and frowned. She took out her phone, and called Albert.Albert p
