Chapter 232
Around the corner, Melody bit her lip, her entire being exuding a chilling clarity
It turned out that Wilmer wasn’t sick from stress but had been poisoned by Leo!
Damn it the cursed inwardly.
Melody took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
After a few deep breaths, she didn’t rush to see Wilmot, Instead, she turned and headed to the backup lah.
This backup lab was clearly abandoned for a long time, with a thick layer of dust covering the benches
She glanced around the room, confirming that although it was small and the equipment outdated, most of what she needed was there. She just had to bring in a few more items and her own materials to start working.
After inspecting the backup lab, Melody stepped out and ran into Tint
Tim put on that phony smile again and asked, pretending to care, “Miss Fox, can the backup lab be used?”
Without revealing any emotion. Melody replied. “I checked, and a lot of things are missing”
Tim clicked his tongue and said. “That’s a problem. We need to prioritize our main lab’s equipment. I’m afraid I can’t help you here.”
“Don’t worry, I said I wouldn’t disrupt your progress. I’ll go out and buy the necessary items myself. No need for you to worry”
“Is that so… Well, that’s very considerate of you
Melody was already fed up but maintained a polite smile. “No problem, it’s what I should do. After all, I made a bet with Silk Beauty Cosmetics on an impulse
Tim sneered inwardly. At least you know your place!
Not wanting to waste more time with Tim, Melody said, 111 go get the supplies now. See you later.”
With that, she swiftly left, leaving only her back to Tim,
Tim let out a cold snort. “Go ahead, and buy as much equipment as you want. Icy Clear Cosmetics is finished, and you’re just a fool rushing to help.”
Tim mocked, completely forgetting Leo’s instructions to keep a close eye on Melody. With his hands behind his back, he leisurely strolled into the main lab without sparing another glance at Melody.
Initially worried that Tim would follow her, Melody felt relieved when she saw he didn’t take her seriously. After heading downstairs, she immediately called Wilmot
The phone rang twice before a strange voice answered.
“Hello? Are you a friend of the patient? The patient just fell asleep. Please call back later.
Seeing the person on the other end about to hang up, Melody quickly asked which hospital Wilmot was in
After getting the address and room number, Melody rushed to Central Hospital by taxi.
On the other side, in a hotel suite, Janet woke up from a satisfying sleep. The first thing she did was look for Ken, who had slept beside her.
However, the bed was empty, and she panicked, fearing that all her efforts to keep him had failed.
Janet hurriedly got out of bed and searched the suite. She finally found Ken in another room.
Seeing him still there, she felt a wave of relief and a happy smile spread across her face.
She wished this moment could last forever
Just then, Ken’s eyelashes fluttered.
Janet’s heart skipped a beat. She quietly slipped back to the bedroom and pretended to be asleep.
When Ken
a got up to wash up and entered from the doorway, she feigned a splitting headache, struggling to sit up in bed, and asked in surprise, “Ern? What are you doing here!”

Chapter 232
“You got drunk last night. James and I brought you back from Leit Bar,” Ken replied succinctly, coming to her bedside and asking, “Are you still feeling unwell!”
“My head hurts.” Janri frowned in pain. “It feels like it’s going to explode.
Not wanting to part from Ken just yet, she hesitated before weakly asking, “I feel terrible. Can you take me to the hospital?”
Ken hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. “Alright, Freshen up first. I’ll wait for you downstairs”
“Okay” Janet gave a weak smile and struggled to get up from the floor.
“Need any help?”
“No. I can manage.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stumbled and fell forward.
Ken reacted quickly, catching her. Janet leaned into his arms, inhaling his unique, crisp sandalwood scent
Janet greedily took a deep breath, trying hard to imprint that scent into her memory.
But in the next moment, Ken stepped back, and the sandalwood scent instantly faded from her reach
Ken steadied her with one hand and called James, who was waiting outside.
“She’s not feeling well. Get a female attendant to help. Ken instructed
Janet bit her lip, a hint of frustration and discomfort showing in her eyes.
He couldn’t accept her closeness.
Janet tightened her grip on her hands. “I’m fine, no need to call anyone. I can manage on my own
Ken frowned slightly. “Il call a female attendant to assist you with washing up, so you won’t fall again”
“Really, there’s no need. I just had a bit too much to drink. It’s nothing serious. It would be too much trouble to call someone over, and they might think I’m being dramatic.”
“No one would think you’re being dramatic” Ken didn’t say more, leaving her in the bed before leaving the suite
Watching Ken’s retreating figure, Janet felt a sense of loneliness in her eyes.
She was fine, really. She just appreciated Ken’s concern for her.
But obviously. Ken was only caring for her as a friend.
Yet that was enough to make her feel happy.
Janet wasn’t greedy. She didn’t expect Ken to fall for her right away, only hoping he would gradually realize that she was the most compatible person with him in the world.
As for Melody… Janet had been too impatient, almost losing everything.
But now she had come to her senses. No matter how Melody struggled, Ken’s feelings for her would surely remain those of a friend.
If Janet constantly targeted Melody, she would only make Ken protect her more, thus alienating her.
Janet could not go back to the way she was before. She had to calm down, and then find the best time to strike back.
Soon, Janet was taken care of by the female attendant and was able to finish her wash.
When she went downstairs, she found Ken had thoughtfully prepared breakfast for her.
It consisted of light fare, obviously what Ken had ordered specifically for her
Janet ate contentedly and then left, taking a seat in Ken’s car.
“Mr. Swanson, which hospital?” James asked from the driver’s seat, turning his head.
Ken thought for a moment and said, “Central Hospital”
On the way, James couldn’t help but comment, “Miss Murphy. Mr. Swanson mentioned that once you’ve recovered, you should return to work. The launch of the new product depends on you. You should avoid places like bars in the future.

Hearing this. Janet feigned surprise and looked at Ken, asking. “Ken, really? You’re not sending me away?”
“Yes.” Ken nodded slightly.
“Thank you. Ken!” Janet expressed her gratitude excitedly, then lowered her gaze and said, “What I did to Miss Fox was wrong, and I deeply regret it. I promise I won’t do anything like that again.”
Her explanation was filled with remorse.
Ken responded, “It’s good that you realize your mistake. Melody isn’t a bad person. I hope you two can get along well in the future.”
Janet clenched her fists secretly but cheerfully agreed. “Yes, I will get along with her.”
About twenty minutes later, Janet got out of the car and immediately saw a familiar figure stepping out of a taxi in front of them.
Isn’t that Melody?’ she wondered
