Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 511 - Bab 520

"Yes, you’re right. My apologies for being too straightforward. I'll punish myself with a drink. Dr. Jones, Mr. Lindsey, please don't take offense," Linda said.She calmly raised her cup, tilted her head back, and downed the crimson liquid in one gulp. Yvonne laughed heartily to defuse the situation, while Melanie and Gabriel remained silent. Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Gabriel whispered to her, "Are you feeling unwell? You can leave if you want." Melanie shook her head. Actually, she was feeling a bit uncomfortable. Her emotions had been stirred up just now, causing some abdominal pain, but she had managed to calm her breathing and alleviate it. She didn't want to leave early, nor did she want Linda to detect any flaws. Although the two members of the Yanceys showed respect and care for each other on the surface, Melanie could tell that Linda was targeting Jefford and using her reactions to probe him. This made her even more uneasy. Dinner ended. Yvonne took

"It’s done," Melanie said. "That fast?" Jefford sounded slightly displeased. He hadn't spoken more than two sentences. "If we take too long, we'll be gossiped about when we go out. Aren't you annoyed?" she said, turning and walking ahead. She didn't want to be the subject of gossip again outside, especially when the gossip involved the troublesome Mr. Yancey. Jefford raised his eyebrows slightly. He paused, then got up and followed Melanie out of the room. Her room was on the first floor, so they only took a short time to return to the banquet hall. A group of people gradually noticed Jefford's face, and were shocked. Some smirked, while some suppressed laughter. The atmosphere was awkward. Jefford subconsciously felt that the woman in front of him must have tampered with his face just now. Right on time, she was walking ahead started her revenge. "Just now, Mr. Yancey said that the wound on his face needed to be treated, so I helped him with a simple treatment," Melanie

"Miscarriage?" Hearing Melanie's words, the wealthy ladies there grew even more disdainful. The situation indeed looked like a miscarriage... "Didn’t Miss Sullivan just come of age last year?" "I didn't hear anything about her being pregnant just now." "She likes Mr. Lindsey, right? Could it be his child that she's carrying?" "Huh? She just said it herself that she hasn't expressed her feelings yet. Mr. Lindsey hasn't agreed to date her, so whose child is she carrying?” The women chattered quietly. Although their voices were low, everyone present heard them... Sonia almost passed out from the pain, and had no strength to explain. Yvonne was both worried and embarrassed. She not only worried about Sonia's health, but also feared that Sonia's reputation would be ruined. After all, she had just praised Sonia to high heavens in front of these people. In the end, this was the well-bred daughter nurtured by her husband's family. It seemed Sonia got pregnant before marriage

With that, Jefford left by the window.Melanie stood up and hurried to the window, but he had disappeared around the corner and into the moonlit streets…Why did his attitude toward her suddenly shift so drastically?He clearly denied her claims. Why did she find it so hard to give up on that thought?That night, Melanie tossed and turned, her sleep greatly disturbed. The next morning, she stayed in bed a little longer and got up much later. She didn’t head out for breakfast, and instead ate whatever little was available in her room.When it was almost noon, Professor Turner came looking for her. Upon seeing how busy she looked, he asked, “Why do you look like you’re in such a terrible state?!”“I didn’t sleep well last night,” Melanie answered half-heartedly.Professor Turner sighed. “After what happened yesterday, Sonia won’t be visiting the Frost family for the time being. Mr. Frost is furious, and he even chased Yvonne Frost back to her maiden family. Gabriel is screening th

Mr Frost didn’t think much of Yvonne’s earlier verbal attacks on Melanie’s medical skills. He was certain that Melanie was Master Jones’s descendant. Coupled with Professor Turner’s name at stake, he was confident that even if Melanie failed to treat Gabriel, at the very least she wouldn’t worse the situation. However, he was also a businessman.Now that Yvonne drew the link between Melanie coming to treat Gabriel and his collaboration with the Yorks, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.Yvonne’s suspicions might just be wrong, and this might turn out to be a ploy.The Yorks arranged for Melanie to treat Gabriel so that the Frosts would feel grateful, and therefore sign the contract at the first negotiation with the Yorks—a contract over a term of five years, no less! If it weren’t for the guilt he harbored for Melanie, he couldn’t possibly have signed it so easily.In fact, the Frost family didn’t even intend on working with the Yorks in the first place!“Dr Jones!
