Chapter 149
Melody nodded and walked in quickly with a calm expression.
On the way, David could not help but ask, “Miss Fox, what exactly happened? I saw that Mr. Herbert and Mrs. Herbert did not look good. The two of them seemed to have quarreled. The atmosphere was scary. I did not dare to ask him.”
Melody glanced at David. “You don’t dare to ask him but dare to ask me?”
David trembled under Melody’s gaze. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, I’m sorry. I’m going to get busy. Call me if you need anything. Although my medical skills are not good, my eloquence is not bad. It’s not a problem to coax Mrs. Herbert.”
“Alright, cut the crap. Go back to your work,” said Melody.
“Alright.” David replied and quickly went back to the counter.
Melody came to the backyard alone and saw a door half open. The sound of two people arguing could be heard from inside.
“I already told you to go to the hospital for a physical examination, but you refused. Now that the physical examination has been done and the result is out, why are you so stubborn and unwilling to be hospitalized?” Colin asked.
Melody heard the extremely gentle Beverly, who never spoke loudly in the past, say in a high–pitched voice, “Why? Just tell me why? Why else could it be? This is cancer. Even if I were to be hospitalized, it would be impossible to cure it Instead of wasting money, it’s better to keep this money. You’re still young now, Wouldn’t it be better for you to find someone else
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Colin asked in frustration,
I’m not talking nonsense! I’ve been thinking about it ever since I got the checkup result. I can’t have children. I’ve been recuperating for so many years but can’t have children. Now that I have cancer, what do you want a wife like me for? With your current wealth, wouldn’t it be better for you to find a beautiful young woman who can have children? Why do you have to waste your time on me?” Beverly asked.
“Beverly!” Colin sounded so angry.
In order not to aggravate the dispute, Melody did not dare to stay any longer. She quickly walked to the door and knocked on it. “Mr. Herbert.”
As she spoke, the room instantly fell silent.
Colin walked out. When he saw her, he said awkwardly. I’m sorry. Miss Fox. You probably heard everything. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”
Melody shook her head and said, “No. I just arrived. Did something happen”
Seeing that she did not seem to have heard anything, Colin could not help but sigh. Then, he bowed deeply to her gratefully and said. “Miss Fox. I have to thank you!”
Melody knew that the two of them must have gone to the hospital for a full–body checkup today and found out that Beverly had gastric cancer.
However, she could not tell anyone about her rebirth and ability to foresee the future, so she pretended to be confused and asked, “Thank me? For what?”
Colin sighed heavily again and pulled her into the courtyard. He lowered his voice and said, “Last time, you told me that my wife had gastrointestinal problems and asked me to bring her for a gastroscopy. For some reason, my wife was unwilling to to the hospital. Today, I finally convinced her to go to the hospital. In the end, it was found that… it was stomach cancer.

Chapter 149
When Colin said the words “stomach cancer, Melody felt endless pain.
She thought that she had come to look for Colin very early, and Beverly might not have had stomach cancer yet. She did not expect it to be a little late.
However, even if she came to Herbathrive as soon as she returned to Silverlake, the outcome should be the same.
Melody did not interrupt and waited patiently for Colin to finish
Colin continued, “Although it’s gastric cancer, we discovered it early, and it’s still in the early stages. I can only say that things aren’t the worst. But my wife, well, although she’s usually easygoing, she’s stubborn and refuses to cooperate with the hospital’s treatment. I, I don’t know what to do”
As Colin spoke, he shook his head and said. “Forget it. I won’t talk about this with you. I called you here today to fulfill my promise. Traditional medicine emphasizes finding the problems through observing and communicating with the patients. You can tell her illness just by looking at her, but I, the person living with her, can’t. It means that your medical skills might even be better than mine. You’re so young, yet you have such ability. Only Mr. Parker can have the ability to teach you, so I believe you’re his disciple. According to the agreement, I’ll get Deathtenaire for you now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Colin took a step and was about to walk into the storeroom.
Melody quickly stopped Colin. “Mr. Herbert, Deathtenaire is not urgent. I think Mrs. Herberts and I can hit off. Can I check her out, if you don’t mind?”
Colin was stunned before asking happily. “You’re willing to treat my wife? Mr. Parker doesn’t treat people easily. I thought you were also…”
Melody shrugged. “I don’t treat people easily, but you’re different. You gave me Deathtenaire. I can’t take something and not do anything, right?”
“But I’m
“But I’m just fulfilling my promise… Colin looked hesitant.
“Looks like you think my medical skills are not good enough to treat your wife. In that case, I’d better leave Melody pretended to leave. Colin quickly stopped her. Then, he didn’t stand on ceremony. He repeatedly said, “Don’t! Don’t go!”
Melody had no intention of leaving for real. When she heard this, she smiled and said, “Since you don’t mind, I’ll try. I should be able to treat the initial stage of stomach cancer. It’s just a matter of time.”
Colin nodded repeatedly, but then he said worriedly, I’m afraid not today. She’s in a bad mood today and refused to treat her illness. I’ve already completed the hospitalization procedures, but she still came back. Wait for me to convince her first before I call you over.”
Unknowingly, the tone in which Colin addressed Melody was no longer distant
Melody smiled and said, I’ll help you to the end. Let me help you persuade Mrs. Herbert too”
“You?” Colin said hesitantly, “She’s very stubborn. You might…
“How will you know if you don’t try?” Melody asked.
Colin saw Melody insisted, so he nodded and said. “Alright, let’s try it first. I’ll bring you in to see her.”
Wail Melody stopped Colin and said, “She’s not in a good mood now. If you follow me in, it might make her more: resistant. How about this? Please wait for me outside. I’ll go in myself”
Colin hesitated for a moment before replying. “Okay!”
Seeing that Colin agreed, Melody entered the room and closed the door.

Chapter 149
She knew Beverly At the same time, she was also a woman. She knew why Beverly refused to receive treatment.
Beverly was crying on the bed. When she heard the voice, she said without looking up. “Stop talking, Let’s get a divorce!”
Melody’s eyelids twitched.
Based on how much Colin cares about Beverly, he will explode when he hears this. Fortunately, I’ve blocked Colin outside! Melody thought.
Melody took a deep breath and said, “It’s me.”
When Beverly heard an unfamiliar voice, her body could not help but stiffen. She quickly her head and looked at
raised
Melody
“You, you are…” Beverly’s mind raced. She quickly remembered that Melody was the person who came to buy rare medicinal herbs that day.
