Chapter 90 Ken was shocked. He held the back of Melody’s neck with one hand and touched her forehead with the other. Her forehead was burning hot. ¡Mi he “She has a fever. I’ll take her to the hospital” As Ken spoke, he carried Melody and walked out Ch. Hanie quickly chased after him. “Mr. Ken! We’ve hired a family doctor. We can call him over to examine Miss Melody first…. Ch. “No need” Ken looked at Hattie indifferently and said, “Don’t forget who caused her to become like this. I don’t think wants to be treated at home.” she Ch. Ken’s words made Hattie choke. Guilt washed over her like a tide. The Although she did not participate in locking Melody up here and was not qualified to participate, if she had told Maria this news from the beginning, Melody might have been released long ago. She could not absolve herself from the blame. CH Hattie felt very guilty. She could only nod and agree to Ken taking her out for treatment. CI Margaret was expressing her concern about Maria’s health in the living room. C WI Maria only found it funny. “A week ago, I was the one who went to visit you. I didn’t expect it to be the other way around now… “It’s nothing!” Margaret patted Maria’s hand and said, “You’ve been worrying too much these past few days. At most, I’ll let Melody examine you. I’ve personally witnessed her superb medical skills.” Margaret believed in Melody’s medical skills without a doubt. This made Maria, who had thought she did not have much time left, place some hope in Melody. At this s moment, hurried footsteps came from the side door. Everyone in the living room looked over. Ken carried Melody and quickly walked toward the entrance. Maria and Margaret were shocked. They asked in unison, “How Melody?” “She had a fever. Ken said concisely without slowing down. “Take her to the hospital quickly.” Margaret quickly followed. Maria was not in good health and could not follow them. She could only glare at Russell–Look what you’ve done!” Russell was also frightened. Just now, Margaret said that if anything happened to Melody, she would settle the score with him. He thought that nothing would happen if Melody starved for a few days. In the end, something happened! “Mom. I’ll go with them and check on her.” Russell looked calm, but how could he be calm for real? He had long been panicking in his heart. Now, he was purely doing this to save his dignity. Otherwise, even the maids at Chapter 90 home might look down on him. The only thing he could do now was to try his best to make up for his mistake. However, just as he took two steps forward. Ramon stopped him “Mr. Ramon Russell did not understand. Ramon said expressionlessly. “I think Miss Fox probably doesn’t want to see you when she wakes up, Just wait for the news at home. We’ll look after Miss Fox, so you don’t have to worry As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates to bring the gifts from the pickup trucks in After they moved the items from the three pickup trucks down, the gifts piled into a small mountain in the living room. Yolanda looked at the packaging and knew that every gift was expensive. She instantly forgot her mistake and asked happily. “Are these for us?“ … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 90” »

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
I’m Melody Fox, once deemed an ugly duckling.
In my past life, I was cruelly betrayed, my heart brutally ripped from my chest by my once-beloved and my stepsister.
Reborn, I inadvertently rescued Ken Swanson, the wealthiest man in Halcyon, and found myself tangled in his intricate world. I was manipulated into remarrying, becoming a pawn in his elaborate plot. I feared the past would replay itself, yet he assured me that with him by my side, I would never suffer again.
On our wedding day, I cast aside my disguise, astounding everyone with my breathtaking beauty and exceptional medical prowess.
This time, I am not just surviving; I am seeking vengeance. I will reveal my true strength to those who once scorned me!
Chapter 89 This, this… Yolanda was speechless for a long time. Russell was smarter. He quickly smiled and said, “Surprisingly, Mrs. Margaret has recovered. This is a happy event! What a happy event Mrs. Margaret, congratulations!” As Russell spoke, he added. “Previously, my countryside daughter was insensible and insisted on treating you. She almost harmed you. Fortunately, you found a famous doctor who saved you. I’m happy for you! Don’t worry. I’ll help you get an explanation for this matter. Well, the truth is, I’ve already helped you deal with it. Not only did I lock that child up. but Ive also crossed her off the family tree. She has nothing to do with me now. If you want to take her away to punish her, I have no rejection!” The comers of Margaret’s mouth twitched. She couldn’t help but say, “Russell, I remember that you weren’t a fool in the past. Why are you so muddle–headed now?” Russell was stunned. He did not understand what Margaret meant. However, he vaguely felt something was wrong, but he could not figure out what was wrong, so he asked directly, “Mrs. Margaret, what do you mean?” “What do I mean: Hmph!” Margaret snorted coldly and said. “You’re asking me what I mean, but I want to ask you the same question. You locked up the person who saved my life?” Russell’s mind instantly went blank. “The person who saved your life?” Russell didn’t even know how he said those words. The ominous feeling he had just now overlapped with Margarets words, forming a sentence. It was Melody who cured Margaret‘ But how is that possible? Russell’s expression changed again and again. Even though he was extremely good at changing his expression, he did not know what expression to show at that moment… When Yolanda heard Margaret’s words, her expression was even darker than when she thought she had seen a ghost, thinking. ‘Melody has become the person who saved Margaret’s life! This is like seeing a ghost! I can’t believe that country bumpkin knows medicine. Not only did she know medicine, but she also cured Margaret! What should I do? What should I do now?” She had offended everyone she shouldn’t have. She was the one who often said the Fox family was going to suffer because of Melody. Now, she was also the one who said that Margaret was a ghost. She had fallen into a situation where she appeared to be a person of poor character. Yolanda was at a loss and could only ask Russell for help. “Russell. L “Shut up!” Russell was frustrated and regretful. He remembered that it was Yolanda who cried and said that Melody would ruin the Fox family. That was why he was in such an awkward situation now. He reached out and slapped Yolanda hard. A crisp sound of a slap rang out, and Yolanda was slapped so hard that she turned her face away. Russell quickly composed himself. Just as he was about to speak. Ken, who had been silent all this while, spoke first. He spat out three words coldly, “Where is she?” Russell said awkwardly. “She, she’s in… the garage…” “Where’s the garage?” Ken asked. “I’ll bring you there!” Hattie hurriedly went forward and took the initiative to lead the way. 1/3 Chapter 89 At this moment, she finally understood that Melody was not overestimating herself, but she did have the ability. Melody had cured Margaret! Hattie and Ken rushed to the backyard, At this moment, Maria had also stopped coughing. Two drops of tears flowed from her turbid eyes Although she was coughing just now, she had heard what Margaret said. She did not trust the wrong person! Nor did she defend the wrong person! The only mistake was that she believed Russell’s words and thought that Melody was reflecting in her room. Russell stood rooted to the ground. He couldn’t follow Ken to pick up Melody or keep standing rooted to the ground in a dare. He only apologized with a smile, “Mom, Mr. Ramon, Im sorry. The last time Mrs. Swanson came, I thought Mrs. Margaret’s condition worsened because of my daughter, so this misunderstanding happened…” Russell tried his best to explain, but after what he had said just now, Ramon finally understood what kind of person Russell was. When Melody got into trouble, Russell addressed her as a child from the countryside, but when Melody was of use to him, he addressed her as ‘my daughter.” He was such an extreme egoist. Ramon admitted he was selfish too, but he was better compared to Russell Ramon suppressed his disgust for Russell and said in a low voice “Since it’s a misunderstanding, forget it. Don’t punish the child indiscriminately in the future.” After all, Russell’s daughter had cured Margaret. Even if it was for Melody’s sake, he could not blame Russell too much “Okay, okay. I was wrong this time.” Russell nodded repeatedly. However, Margaret was extremely displeased. She held Maria’s trembling hands and turned to look at Russell. “You’d better pray that Melody is fine. Otherwise, I don’t care if you’re Melody’s biological father!” Russell’s face stiffened and he smiled awkwardly. Now, he was happy that he did not whip Melody. It’s just a few days of imprisonment. She should be fine. At the same time, in the backyard. Ken followed Hattie to an abandoned garage. There were no windows in the garage. When the door was opened, an unpleasant musty smell came from inside. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 89” »
Chapter 88 Hattie even thought it would be great if Melody stayed in the countryside and never came to Silverlake In that case, the Fox family would not have faced such a crisis, and Maria would not have been sicker than before. As Hatte spoke, she started to cry from anger. “It’s all Miss Melody’s fault.” “Enough” Maria interrupted Hattie unhappily. “Don’t blame Melody. She’s just a child. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have been given a chance to treat Margaret’s illness. So, it’s all because of me. It has nothing to do with her. She instructed. “Don’t call Melody out for the Swanson family’s visit.” She said so because she wanted to protect Melody. Hattie felt even worse. What time is it now? The Swanson family has already come to demand an explanation. Why are you still defending Miss Melody?” “Hattie! Enough“” Maria’s tone was serious. She rarely spoke to Hattie like this. Hattie was shocked and did not dare to say anything else. In any case, it had already happened, and there was no turning back. Of course, Hattie did not want to say anything more. She did not want to tell Maria that Melody had not been reflecting in her mom for the past few days but had been locked in the garage When she first heard the news, she hesitated whether to tell Maria, but her emotions got the better of reason. She had been hiding it from Maria until now. When Maria arrived at the living room in her wheelchair, the doorbell rang Yolanda was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled. She even told the maids not to open the door. Maria sighed and instructed the butler, “Go and open the door. What will come will come. Just do as we said. Just push all the responsibility to me.” The butler looked at Russell hesitantly. Russell closed his eyes and did not look at Maria. He only said, “Co and open the door.” He tacitly approved of Maria’s plan. When Maria saw this, her heart could not help but ache. She could not help but sigh inwardly. Her son was good in all aspects, but she had never liked his selfish values. However, at this point, now that she was already so old, she thought it was worth saving the Fox family with her own life. Seeing this, the butler could only open the door with trembling legs. He was afraid that he would be implicated, too. As soon as the door opened, a tall man entered first It was Ken One could feel his powerful aura even without looking at his face. Chapter 88 The butler’s legs almost went weak and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held onto the shoe cabinet at the entrance to steady himself. Russell paid no attention to the butler. He only saw Ramon following behind Ken. Mr. Ramon has even come personally! It seems that Margaret has already passed away… Russell thought worriedly Russell pinched his thigh hard and ined his best to remain calm. “Mr. Ramon, Mr. Ken, welcome “He greeted them with a hoarse voice. “Mr. Fox, Ramon nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak. Russell hurriedly said, “Mr. Ramon, it’s all our fault. It’s all Melody’s fault. She just returned from the countryside and didn’t know the severity of the situation. She boasted that she wanted to treat Margaret. And now.. she’s caused such a big trouble. She’s muddle–headed! But don’t worry. I’ve already locked her up. I haven’t given her anything to eat for three to four days. I’ve let her reflect on herself. This can be considered an explanation for you.” When Ramon heard this, his face was filled with disbelief. “You you… He could not utter a word after saying “you” for a long time because it was too unexpected When Russell saw Ramon’s reaction, he thought Ramon wasn’t satisfied enough, so he hurriedly added, “If you still think it’s not enough. I’ll bring her out now and beat her up in front of you. If you still can’t vent your anger, take her away and punish her however you want. We definitely won’t blame you!” Ramon widened his eyes. “Russell you. You’re too… He searched for a long time but could not find a suitable adjective. As for Ken, he even felt that there was something wrong with his ears. Maria was the first to react. She stood up p with both hands on the wheelchair and asked, “How many days did you say you’ve made Melody hungry?” Russell frowned and looked at Maria. “Mom, I’ll be frank with you since things have come to this! I didn’t lock her in the room for the past few days. Instead, I locked her in Wilona’s mortuary, However, she brought this on herself. She’s already an adult. When an adult makes a mistake, they have to pay the price. This is the price she deserves!” “You you… How could you do this? She’s your biological daughter! Maria said sternly, but because of her poor health, she started to cough violently after cursing. Russell ignored Maria. At this moment, he couldn’t be bothered with her either. He turned around and said to Ramon, “Mr. Ramon, you’ve seen our family’s sincerity. Please don’t implicate our entire family because of Melody!” Yolanda finally regained a trace of calmness from her extreme panic. She stepped forward and bowed to Ramon… … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 88” »
Chapter 87 As Margaret spoke, she walked out without needing anyone to support her. Ken was shocked and quickly went up to support her. Although Margaret had recovered from her illness, she was eighty after all. How could she walk so quickly? Margaret shook her head. “You worry about people more than I do! When you have a wife and children in the future, you’ll have more things to worry about!” Ken smiled. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I don’t have to worry about that for the time being He had no intention of getting married and having children at the moment. Pearly Antiques, his grandmother, and his career were the most important to him. Margaret was displeased when she heard Ken’s words, “What do you mean you don’t have to worry? I’m already so old but haven’t had a great–grandchild yet. Even if I’m better, I have nothing to do” Margaret paused and said even more forcefully. “Let me tell you, you have to get married as soon as possible. Arleast let me carry my great–grandchild before I die!” Ken smiled bitterly. ‘Grandma, even if I want you to have a great–grandson, I don’t have the ability. I don’t even have a girlfriend. Where can I get you a great–grandchild?” As soon as he said this, Margaret suddenly remembered what Maria had discussed with her on her birthday. Margaret rolled her eyes and asked, “Ken, what do you think of Melody?” Ken’s eyelids twitched. He frowned and asked, “Grandma, what do you want?” Margaret raised her eyebrows and said, “I think that child is great. We can’t judge other people by appearance, especially when looking for a wife. Her character is the most important. After interacting with her for the past few days, I think Melody’s character is good. She’s not arrogant or rash. Although she has such a face, she never feels inferior because of her appearance, which shows she’s pretty strong inside. It is something many socialites born and bred in Silverlake can’t compare to.” Ken nodded subconsciously because he agreed with Margaret. However, Ken realized Margaret’s intention immediately. He shook his head and said, “Grandma, you don’t have to worry about those things. I don’t plan to get married now. I have important things to do.” “This is important to me tool Margaret suddenly raised her voice, but then she realized that her attitude was too unyielding She sighed and said, “Forget it, take it slow. You two have indeed only spent little time together. Margaret thought that she was very good at judging people. She thought Melody was a good child. She was sure she wouldn’t be wrong. Moreover, the Fox family had indeed made an engagement agreement with the Swarison family, and Astrid would not like Melody, so the best candidate in Margaret’s heart had always been Ken. Soon, the two of them arrived downstairs. Initially, Ramon didn’t plan to go with them, but when he saw Margaret dressed up, he knew that she paid a lot of attention to paying a visit to express her gratitude to Melody. Hence, he postponed his work and boarded the car to the Fox family with Ken and Margaret. It took more than 40 minutes of driving from the Fox family’s residence to the Swanson family’s. Margaret kept urging the Chapter 87 driver to speed up. When embarrassedly. “I don’t know were finally about to reach the Fox family’s house, Margaret rubbed her hands and said embarrassedly. “I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m meeting my first love.” This meant that Margaret liked Melody very much. A gentle smile appeared on Ken’s face. Seeing his grandmother like this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew he could start working on Pearly Antiques now. At the thought of Pearly Antiques, Ken’s expression returned to its usual coldness. He could tolerate everything, be it framing, slandering, or anything about inheriting. But he would never give in when it came to Pearly Antiques, which his mother left behind. The car stopped at the entrance of the Fox family’s row house. Margaret quickly left the car and saw a maid cleaning at the door. She smiled and walked forward to greet her. “Hello, are Mr. Fox and Melody at home? I’m Margaret Swanson. The maid cleaning at the door immediately looked like she had seen a ghost when she heard the other party’s name and ran FL Margaret looked at the maid running away. Her hand that was greeting her stopped awkwardly in mid–air for two seconds, Two seconds later, she glared at Ken with a dark expression. It’s all Ken’s fault for saying I looked good in this dress. Look what happened now! The maid was startled. I knew this damin child was lying to me! However, it’s too late to change now. It’ll take another two hours to go back and change again. I can only enter like this: At the thought of this, Margaret said unhappily. “It’s all your fault!” Ken looked innocent and confused. ‘What did I do? In the living room of the Fox family. When the maid rushed in, Russell and Yolanda were about to go out to inquire about Margaret. When Yolanda saw the maid enter in a panic, she subconsciously frowned and reprimanded, “Why are you in such a hurry? It’s not like the house is on fire! Yolanda was about to reprimand her, but Russel felt something was wrong. Usually, Yolanda was very strict with the maids. The maid wouldn’t have been so flustered if something hadn’t happened. At the thought, a sense of foreboding surged in Russell’s heart. He hurriedly asked, “What happened? Did someone from the Swanson family come?” The maid was frightened by Yolanda’s scolding just now. Now that she heard Russell ask her, she remembered the serious matter and nodded uneasily. “Yes, people from the Swanson family have come… Many people have come. I saw three or four cars… When Yolanda heard this, her vision darkened. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 87” »
Chapter 86 Claude’s hospital was located in Insterimond. If they took a plane back now, reaching Silverlake would take them at least) three hours. They could not waste time here, Astrid nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, we have to go back quickly, immediately!” For the past few days, she had thought she would receive the good news of Margaret’s death. She did not expect to receive the bad news of Margaret’s recovery. She felt a splitting headache when she thought about how she would have to live with Margaret in the future What do we do?” On the plane, Astrid’s body was trembling as she asked. Even when the air stewardess reminded her to fasten her seatbelt, she was still in a daze. It was not until the air stewardess repeated it that she heard what the other party said. “We didn’t care about Margaret’s life and death these few days. Now that she’s recovered, she’ll blame you and me. What if she tells your father something bad about you?” Astrid asked. Ulric did not answer, but he frowned. However, he wasn’t worried about Margaret’s attitude. Margaret had always been indifferent to him. He had never expected Margaret to say anything good about him in front of Ramon. But according to Margaret’s personality, she wouldn’t say anything bad about him in front of Ramon He was only flustered about his father’s attitude toward Ken. Since the young lady of the Fox family had cured Margaret, and that ugly woman was in cahoots with Ken, I’m obviously at a disadvantage when it comes to Margaret. No wonder! No wonder Ken has no intention of leaving when he comes to Silverlake this time. He would never stay for long in the past. Kee must have returned to be the Swanson family’s successor Thinking of this, Ulric could not help but grind his molars His cold expression shocked the air stewardess passing by. She asked in fear, “Mr. Swanson, did our crew do anything wrong?” Ulric suddenly came back to his senses and revealed his usual gentle smile. “No, you guys did well. It’s just that I’m not feeling well. Thank you.” The air stewardess heaved a sigh of relief and quickly nodded. Tsee. No wonder you look so pale. If you need anything, please press the service bell, and I’ll come over.” “Okay, thank you” Ulric’s lips curled into a smile. The air stewardess completely forgot about Ulric’s terrifying expression just now and only felt her face turn red and her heart beat faster. She heard that Ulric’s legs were crippled by his brother. She felt sorry and pity as she sighed. The air stewardess left with mixed feelings As soon as she left, the smile on Ulric’s face disappeared. He turned to Astrid and said coldly, “We don’t have much time or opportunity left. We have to find an acupuncture doctor who can treat my leg immediately. Otherwise, we’ll be chased out of the Swanson family by Ken! Don’t forget that Ken is still investigating what you did to Ken’s mother back then. Once he finds out…” When Astrid heard this, she couldn’t help but shiver. Her lips were pale as she nodded. “Okay, I will find someone to treat your legs quickly!” ||| Chapter 86 For the rest of the journey, the mother and son were silent. After they got off the plane, they rushed back in a panic. However, Astrid panic was shown on her face, while Ulric’s panic was hidden deep in his heart and did not show on his face. It sounded ridiculous, but disguising had become what he was best at during the years he was disabled. At the same time, in the Swanson family Ken and his father got out of the car together. The three pickup trucks behind them were filled with gifts. Til go and see if Grandma is done.” Ken was in a good mood today, and it was rare for him to take the initiative to report to Ramon Ramon was also in a good mood. As soon as Margaret recovered from her illness, the black fog enveloped the Swanson family instantly dissipated. “Alright, go ahead. Tell her not to rush. Her body has just recovered. She has to take her time. Ramon instructed. “Okay” Ken nodded Just as he was about to enter ter the villa, Ramon stopped him again. “Wait a minute.” Ken turned his head in confusion, only to see Ramon walking to him. Ramon said in a low voice. There was a financial problem with the branch company in Laranshire today. After sealing the matters here, I need to go there. I’ll stay for at least en days to half a month! Ken didn’t say anything, waiting for Ramon to continue. Ramon paused before saying, “You’re free during this period. Help me take care of the company in Silverlake.* Hearing this. Ken’s usually unchanged expression revealed a rare surprise. Although Ramon had handed over the company in Insterimond to him, he had never interfered with the headquarters in Silverlake. Of course, even Ulric couldn’t infiltrate the headquarters. Ramon had always been in charge of everything at the headquarters here. w what Ramon meant by that. Ken didn’t know Does he want me to be his successor? Ken wondered. Honestly, he did not care about the position of the Swanson family’s heir. However, if he could enter the headquarters and have the right to speak, he could take back the Pearly Antiques that his mother had left behind without much effort. He did not need to go through so much trouble. Ken knew Ramon’s sudden decision had much to do with his efforts to recommend Melody for treating Margaret “It seems that… the gifts I bought for Melody are not enough, Ken thought. Ken glanced at the gifts on the three pickup trucks and decided to give Melody something else. “What do you think? Seeing that Ken didn’t say anything, Ramon asked in confusion, “You’re unwilling?” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 86” »
Chapter 85 The first call from the servant, Astrid hung up directly, turning her head to inquire with the doctor with concern. “Claude. how is my son’s condition? What are the chances of recovery? Claude was a well–known orthopedic expert in the country. He could tell how to treat many bone diseases at a glance, and could even accurately judge how many days the patient would be well. But looking at Ulric’s CT report, he was silent and frowned, and after a while, he said with a puzzled tone. “It shouldn’t be Astrid suddenly became nervous. “What shouldn’t it be? Is it my son’s leg… Astrid said, and her face began to turn pale. Ulric was more patient, patted Astrid on the shoulder, and said. Don’t be nervous. Wait for Claude to finish reading the report,” “Okay,” Astrid nodded nervously The matter of the legs being disabled was her idea. If it really made her son disabled for life, she would never forgive herself in this life. Claude was also a calm person. After carefully reading all the examination reports, he asked his doubts, “Your situation is not particularly serious. If you started rehabilitation training after the surgery a few years ago, it should be completely fine now. Why do you still need a wheelchair now? Astrid heard this, and for a while, she felt a bit guilty. “That’s because, because….. “Claude.” Ulric saw that Astrid couldn’t even answer a complete sentence, and directly answered himself, “At first, I thought there was no need for rehabilitation training, so I kept dragging it on, only occasionally doing rehabilitation when I had time, so it dragged on until now. “Foolish!” Claude shook his head with great regret and said. “The doctor who operated on you at the beginning is really irresponsible! Doesn’t he understand that if you miss the best recovery period, it will be very difficult to recover later?” Ulric coughed lightly and asked, “So, Claude, if I find you to do rehabilitation now, what are the chances of recovery? How long will it take to recover?” Claude looked embarrassed “Well…” “You can tell me directly. It doesn’t matter. I’ve heard the same words many times these days, and it doesn’t matter to hear it again. My legs, can they really not recover?” Claude nodded and shook his head. “It’s not completely impossible. It can only be said that the difficulty is very great, and the chances are very low. Astrid nearly fainted upon hearing those words. To think that Claude, the most authoritative orthopedic doctor, had said so, Ulric’s legs might as well be almost impossible to recover “Ken That bastard!” Astrid gnashed her teeth with hatred. The resentment she had shown before was actually fake, because Ulric’s legs were actually disabled by himself, and he framed Ken for it. But at this moment, her anger was real. If it weren’t for Ken’s existence, they wouldn’t have to do such a thing that harmed themselves more than Ken. 1/3 Chapter 85 At this moment. Astrid had completely forgotten that the decision not to do rehabilitation was also their own. “But, Claude suddenly said again. “If you seek treatment from a doctor in traditional medicine, the chances of recovery will greatly increase.” “A doctor in traditional medicine?” Astrid scoffed. “Even if you can’t cure it, how can someone in traditional medicine cure “No.” Claude said seriously “We modern people are too dependent on modern medicine now. Modern medicine does indeed work quickly, but traditional medicine has such a long history. It is actually not to be underestimated. If you can find a master of acupuncture in traditional medicine who knows the nine–line acupuncture, it may not even take three months to recover Mr. Swanson’s legs Astrid was stunned. “Really?” She had very little trust in traditional medicine, but Claude had no need to deceive her, and she could only go to find a doctor in traditional medicine, as a last resort. “Those who know the nine–line acupuncture are very few, and many people haven’t even heard of it. If you find it, please let me know. At that time, I will cooperate with traditional medicine acupuncture treatment, and make modern rehabilitation training for Mr. Swanson’s situation. At that time, the combination of traditional and modern medicine will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Claude said a lot, but what he didn’t say was that an old friend he knew would know the nine–line acupuncture. Unfortunately, that old friend had been living in seclusion in the mountains for more than ten years, and even Claude couldn’t contact him. “Okay, we understand.” “Thank you. Claude.” The two said goodbye to Claude. Astrid pushed Ulric’s wheelchair out the door, and once again received a call from the butler. Astrid was in a foul mood, and seeing the three missed calls from the butler only added to her irritation. Upon answering, she lashed out at the phone. “Are you calling to rush me to death Don’t you know I’m helping Ulric find a doctor? The hospital corridors were filled with people, and even though this wasn’t Silverlake, there would surely be someone who recognized them Ulric frowned and turned his head to give Astrid a warning look Only then did Astrid suppress her anger, walking out of the hospital while lowering her voice to ask, “What on earth happened?” “Something big has happened!” The butler didn’t care about being scolded by Astrid just now and said in a hurry, “You and Mr. Ulric need to come back quickly!” Astrid curled her lips. They were inside the elevator, and it was only the two of them, so Astrid wasn’t afraid of being overheard and spoke bluntly. “Nothing is more important than finding a doctor for Ulric right now unless Margaret has come back to life.” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 85” »
Chapter 84 Upon thinking of Melody, Russell’s teeth itched with anger. He couldn’t understand it. Back then, Wilona was known as the number one beauty in the country and also founded the Justalion Group. She could be said to be a being with both beauty and wisdom. How could the daughter she gave birth to be ugly and foolish, and on top of that, only cause trouble! Russell but his teeth and said, “Instruct everyone, before the people from the Swanson family come to make trouble, don’t give Melody anything to eat. We must show some attitude so that the Swanson family can vent their anger.” Yolanda had already planned to do this, but in front of Russell, she still pretended to be distressed, “We don’t know how many days Margaret can hold on. If she can still hold on for ten days or half a month, wouldn’t Melody starve to death? Why not give her a little something to eat?” Russell shook his head. “You are just too kind–hearted! She made a mistake, and it is right to be punished. Besides, if she could really starve to death, it would be great! She would be making up for her crimes!” Yolanda listened to Russell’s words, and her heart was already full of joy. This time, Melody had truly lost all the fatherly love from Russell. As long as the Fox family could get through this disaster. Mabel would become the only young lady of the Fox family. At that time, if she used the engagement to threaten, the Swanson family would have to obediently marry Mabel into family Everything was developing in a good direction, their Yolanda nodded with a pretense of reluctance. “Well, let her be hungry for a few days first. It’s good to teach a naughty child a lesson.” Russell became even more disgusted with Melody when he heard this. “At the age of getting married, how can she still be a child? Look at Mabel. Has she caused me any trouble over the years?” Yolanda quickly comforted Russell, but in her heart, she was a bit guilty. In fact, over the years. Mabel had developed the full temper of anoble young lady and had caused a lot of trouble, but each time, Yolanda would help Mabel deal with it without telling Russell, so Russell thought Mabel had been worry–free since she was young In this way, three days passed, and the door of the abandoned garage was never opened. Melody stayed in the dark for three days. As she had anticipated, no one in the Fox family gave her food. She opened the water and compressed biscuits she had bought in advance and ate sparingly every day. But even though she was already very economical, as time passed, the water and biscuits had all been eaten up. It was not that she didn’t want to bring more, but bringing more would be discovered. On the third day, she was so thirsty that it felt like her throat was on fire, but she endured it She calculated the time. Tomorrow would be the last day. She just needed to held on for this one more day. Melody bit her lip tightly and didn’t knock on the door for help. Chapter 84 There wouldn’t be anyone coming anyway. It was better to sat save her strength and conserve her energy. But staying in the dark for so long, coupled with the extreme lack of food and water, by the fourth day, she didn’t even have the strength to meditate. She could only lie on the cold, damp ground, her mind starting to feel delirious. As a doctor, she was very clear that she was dehydrated and catching a cold, and upon touching her forehead, it seemed she was starting to have a fever as well. If someone from the Swanson family didn’t come soon, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer. Meanwhile, at the Swanson family, just as Melody had said when she left the Swanson family four days ago, after the second course of treatment began. Margaret would vomit blood every time she took her medicine, but each time she vomited blood, her spirit was better than the last. Ramon was initially worried that the vomiting of blood indicated the disease was getting worse, until he watched as Margaret’s bloated belly, which was as big as a balloon, slowly deflated, and her spirit became more and more radiant, his hanging heart gradually settled. By the morning of the fourth day, when Margaret got up to use the bathroom, she lifted her clothes and was surprised to find that her stomach was no longer swollen, almost the same as before she got sick Margaret exclaimed with joy like a child. “My stomach, my stomach…” The servant, hearing the noise, thought Margaret’s condition had worsened and hurriedly pushed the door open After understanding the situation, the servants were also so excited that tears filled their eyes, and they rushed to inform Ramon of the good news. Ramon had originally planned to stay in Silverlake for only two days and then leave, but because he was worried about Margaret’s condition, he postponed all his travel plans and handled his official duties in his study. Upon hearing the servant’s report, he immediately showed his joy, leaving behind the laptop that was still in a video conference, and rushed to Margaret’s room By the time he arrived. Ken had already received the news first and was asking Margaret, “Are you still feeling any discomfort? Such as shortness of breath, lack of energy, and so on?” “No, I’m doing very well. I felt like I could run yesterday.” Margaret, who had a good sense of humor, joked while being happy. Today, I am even better. Maybe I can go out now and run a marathon” “Grandma… Ken looked helpless, but he was happy inside. Margaret’s willingness to joke again indicated that she was truly on the mend. Seeing this, Ramon also revealed a look of relief. Feeling ignored, Ramon lightly coughed to assert his presence and said, “I didn’t expect Melody’s medical skills to be truly impressive. Mom, once you’re feeling better, we’ll visit her to express our gratitude and apologize for my previous mistrust.” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 84” »
Chapter 83 At the site time, after Melody entered the abandoned garage in the backyard, the Instler immediately snatched her phone and focked the garage door There were no windows in the garage, and as soon as the door was closed, it fell into a pitch–black darkness where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face Hey! Turn on the light” Melody hanged on the door forcefully, making thuds. But the only response she got was the butler’s cold voice. “Miss Melody, there’s no need to waste your energy. You’re in there to reflect, not to enjoy yourself. You should reflect on what you’ve done wrong!” Melody clenched her teeth and said coldly. I don’t know whose orders you’re following, not even turning on the light for me. But don’t regret it!” The butler sneered at the door. “Miss Melody, times have changed, and it’s you who should regret it With that, the sound of footsteps faded away Melody knew the butler had left. She wasn’t in a hurry, felt her way to a sheet of cardboard, and sat down in a meditation posture. Her master often meditated like this, saying it could eliminate distractions, and she imitated him by sitting in meditation. Russell locking her up was something she had anticipated and was part of her plan She just didn’t know how Maria was doing. Being locked here, she had no idea what was happening outside. Maria had defended her to this extent, and she was already overwhelmed with gratitude. She didn’t need Maria to do any more for her. The only thing she could do for Maria now w was to not cause any more trouble and cooperate with them to be locked up here, so that Yolands wouldn’t have any more bad intentions and scheme against Maria as well. Melody took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. She used to think that her master’s frequent meditation was useless, but she didn’t expect that meditation really worked. Her emotions quickly calmed down, and only her cheek could still feel the pain brought by Russell’s slap, while her heart was calm and cold. At the moment of her rebirth, she was eager to get Russell’s paternal love in this life, but now, this desire had been completely erased. No matter how many times she was reborn, Russell would always favor Mabel. After Melody realized this, the last trace of reluctance in her heart was gone. Instead, she curled her lips, very curious about the expression on Russell’s face when he personally took her out of here. That expression must be wonderful, right? On the other side, Russell urgently called the family doctor to check on Maria’s condition. 13 Chapter 83 It was not that he was unwilling to take Mara to the hospital, but Maria, like Margaret, was resistant to modern medicine. They were from the older generation and had more faith in traditional medicine. This family doctor was skilled in both traditional and modern medicine. At that time. Russell was reluctant to let the family doctor go, and it just so happened that several families in the same community wanted to hire a shared family doctor, so this doctor served multiple households, The family doctor arrived quickly, and by then Marta had already woken up from her faint, but her mental state was still not very good. Her first question was, “Where is Melody?” Russell felt a surge of frustration. “At a time like this, you’re still concerned about that girl… I’ve left her to reflect on her actions in her room.” Russell didn’t mention that he had locked Melody in a dark room to avoid Maria feeling sorry for Melody and asking him to bring her out. Maria opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, the remained silent. Reflecting on her actions in her room was better than being scolded or even beaten by Russell and Yolanda outside. And in this matter, Melody was indeed wrong. She should not have ve been so reckless in n her youth and taken on the mess s with the Swanson family. But then again, was she herself free of selfish motives in this matter? Maria sighed repeatedly, her spirit even more diminished. Russell was anxiously waiting nearby, and only after the family doctor finished the examination did he hurriedly ask, “How is my mother?” The family doctor shook his head and gave a look to Russell, indicating that they should talk outside. However, Maria caught the exchange of glances between the doctor and Russell and said, “At my age, there’s nothing I can’t hear, Tell me directly in front of me Maria was insistent, and Russell had no choice but to let the family doctor speak directly The family doctor thought about his choice of words before speaking. “Your fainting spell just now was due to a sudden surge of anger causing high … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 83” »
Chapter 82 However, at that moment, Maria opened her eyes and said weakly. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.” As she spoke, Maria weakly closed her eyes again. Russell knew there was no major issue anymore and immediately let out a sigh of relief, instructing several strong servants. to help Maria into her wheelchair and push her back to her room. Melody instinctively wanted to follow but was stopped by Mabel “Grandma is like this because she was angered by you! You better not appear in front of Grandma!” Yolanda felt the same way, signaling to Russell with her eyes. Russell immediately spoke up. “Guards! Lock her up in the backyard garage!” The backyard garage had been abandoned for a long time, hadn’t been cleaned up for ages, and was filled with all kinds of clutter. Even the light was broken, flickering ominously, which was quite frightening. Yolanda heard this and slightly curled her lips. She had accidentally gone in once and found it particularly eerie because that place was where Melody’s biological mother’s body had been kept for seven days after her death. That place was not even the servants wanted to enter, which was also the reason why it hadn’t been cleaned for so long. Now that Russell said he was going to lock Melody in there, it meant he had completely given up on Melody. This was a good thing. It wouldn’t be long before she could drive Melody away. No matter how much Maria defended Melody, for how long could she do so? The amount of mercury sulfide she had added to Maria’s medicine had been increased. According to the toxicity, Maria wouldn’t live more than two months at most. However, what Yolanda was most afraid of now was that Melody’s treatment of Margaret would implicate the entire Fox family. If it really came to that, she could only divorce Russell and leave with Mabel. Thinking back, she had worked so hard to marry into the Fox family, and now to leave, she was very reluctant. She just hoped that Melody’s matter would not implicate her and her daughter. Yolanda was scheming in her heart. And the servants, hearing Russell’s order, were all hesitant to step forward for a while. Firstly Melody was, after all, a young lady of the Fox family, and secondly, no one wouldn’t be terrified to go into that Elony place If thing werd wrong they couldn’t bear the responsibility. Sering this, Ransell became furious instantly. “What! Now my words are useless?” As soon as he spoke, the servants who had been hesitating had no choice but to step forward “Miss Fas, please come with us Melody kdy glared at the seats, who were startled and rainctively drank back 14:21 Sat, Jul 6 GM Capter 12 Was it be Miely face comdered ugly? Want to tristenin After giving the servant really going to lock me up 82% Melody didn’t look at them anymore but turned to Russell to confirm it. “Are you It was rest that she was bragging but Russell probably could not bear the consequences of locking her up. Hearing the time of Melody’s voice, Russell wanted to hit her again. But before he could reach out, Melody spoke up on her own. “No need for them to take me, I’ll go by myself! With that, she strode toward the abandoned garage in the backyard. Russell gnashed his teeth in anger, but Maria’s condition wasn’t very good yet, and he couldn’t afford to discipline Melody. so he went to check on Maria first Mabel held back Yolanda, who was about to follow, and asked in a low voice, “Mom, with Melody locked up, will she still affect our family!” Yolanda frowned and comforted. “Don’t worry. She won’t. The Swanson family, being in their current position, should be reasonable. Once Margaret dies, we’ll throw Melody and Maria under the bus. By that time, even if we are affected, we will recover quickly,” The main business of the Swanson Group was real estate, while the main business of the Fox family was the Justalion Group left by Melody mother, Wilona and the headhunting company that Russell ran himself. The Justalion Group mainly focused on fashion design, and that headhunting company was so small that it had fewer than ten employees. Neither of these companies was related to real estate, and for the Swanson Group to target them, they would have to use connections Yolanda thought that the Swanson family wouldn’t be so ruthless as to completely annihilate them. After all, Melody and Maria alone would be enough for them to vent their anger. There was one more thing Yolanda didn’t mention. That i… If the Fox family really lost all its future due to this incident, she would leave with Mabel and the wealth she had accumulated over the years. But she wouldnt do this unless it was absolutely necessary. She just hoped that everything would go as she thought “Then Mabel suddenly spoke up. “What if Melody really has medical skills and Margaret suddenly gets better Thinking of this possibility made Mabel feel hesitant and uneasy, and this unease grew stronger with Melody’s question to Russell. “Are you really going to lock me up?” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 82” »
Chapter 81 Mabel cried as she cursed, partly out of fear and partly out of frustration with Maria. They had all agreed to expel Melody from the family so that even if Margaret died today, they wouldn’t be implicated. But Maria was being very stubborn. Despite Melody causing such a huge disaster, Maria was still protecting her, preferring to live with her rather than expelling Melody from the family entirely. As a younger member, she couldn’t accuse Maria, so she vented all her anger on Melody, If Maria wasn’t in the living room, Mabel would have rushed up and grabbed Melody’s hair. Crying and cursing, Mabel’s tears made Russell’s already unsightly expression even more gloomy He must have been out of his mind to bring Melody back. Mabel was right. Melody was someone who couldn’t bring him any benefits and would instead destroy his entire family. Russell couldn’t bear it anymore, stood up, and walked over to Melody, grabbing her collar and cursing. “You shameless thing! Don’t you know your place? How dare you to boast about saving Margaret. Now she’s vomiting blood. How are you going to take responsibility? Can you take responsibility? Huh?” Melody was lightweight, and with Russell’s tug on her collar, she was swung around, feeling dizzy after a short while Seeing this, Maria couldn’t bear it and stopped him. “Enough! It has already happened, and I am also responsible for this. Don’t scold her. Be careful not to drop her!” Russell now wished he could just throw Melody to her death. But since Maria had spoken, he had to let go, but when he did, he took the opportunity to to push Melody to the side. Melody didn’t find a point of support and fell to the ground unexpectedly, her buttocks aching. But she didn’t even make a sound, enduring the pain as she stood up from the ground. Russell now couldn’t stand Melody no matter how he looked at her. Seeing her fall to the ground and get up without a word, he felt even more suffocated. He clenched his teeth and asked, “Do you know you’re wrong? If you know you’re wrong, go to the Swanson family and apologize right now!” Russell still had some rationality left. Since Melody could come back unscathed, it meant that Margaret hadn’t died yet. If he took this opportunity and went to the Swanson family with gifts to apologize, it might save them. Melody raised her head and looked at Russell indifferently. “I haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I apologize? Russell’s eyebrows immediately furrowed into a line. “What did you say?” He almost squeezed these words out from between his teeth. Compared to the furious Russell. Melody appeared extremely calm. “I said I haven’t done anything wrong, so I won’t apologize.” 1/3 ||| Chapter 81 The next second, a loud–slap echoed through the hall. Russell’s slap was full of strength as if he had accumulated all his anger into this one slap. Melody’s cheek swelled up visibly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her cheek was very painful, but she clenched her fist and didn’t make a sound. It was this stubborn look that made Russell’s already surging anger even more intense. “You wicked girl, looks like you still don’t know how to repent until now!” Russell raised his hand and was about to slap Melody again.” This time, Melody was fully prepared, waiting to receive Russell’s slap with her face again. She didn’t want to dodge it because these two slaps would be very useful for her next plan. However, the expected slap did not come down. Melody looked up in surprise and saw Maria had somehow gotten out of the wheelchair and was holding Russell’s wrist with all her strength. Melody felt a warmth and touch in her heart. She even wanted to cry. There was actually someone in this family who cared for her. It was enough. She was very content. Russell was also surprised to see Maria and quickly put down his hand. “Mom, how can “Shut u you. up!” Maria said with a frown, I’ve said it. I’m also responsible for this. If you want to hit her, hit me too!” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 81” »
