Gabriel held Melanie back. “Stay in the car. I’ll head out to take a look.”Melanie nodded.However, Gabriel didn’t return after a long while. Melanie could hear the old lady’s cries and wails from in the car. She sounded as though she was in a lot of pain. Curious, Melanie stepped out of the car and walked toward them, accompanied by a bodyguard.When she drew closer to them, she heard the old lady crying while surrounded by her bodyguards.“Why must I leave? I’m not leaving! I’m so sick, I can’t possibly put myself through the torment of being on a plane…”“Madam, since you’re ill, we’ll take you to the hospital right away!”The bodyguard tried to hold her, but the old lady wrapped her arms around her knees and sat on the floor, refusing to budge. “Don’t touch me! I’m one step away from being paralyzed. I can’t afford to let my legs be manhandled!”The old lady spoke with such authority, it stopped her bodyguards in their tracks. The chief bodyguard barked, “Hurry! Get the doc

Melanie stayed in Professor Turner’s base for a few days.Jefford did not appear again, as she expected.Her interactions with him that night felt like a dream she was rudely awakened from…With regard to Gabriel’s condition, Melanie had a video call with Professor Turner and expressed her wishes for him to come back so both of them can thoroughly check Gabriel in person. However, the professor said that he was still unable to return as issues had cropped up with research in Medonia. Until he could find a solution for them, he had to remain there for the time being.However, it wasn’t ideal to delay Gabriel’s treatment, either. As such, Melanie decided to bring Gabriel back to Medonia so she and Professor Turner could jointly assess Gabriel’s condition and adjust their treatment plan for him.Coincidentally, she had left the Yorks for over two weeks. She was getting concerned about her mother’s condition, and it was about time for her to visit her mother in person.Gabriel knew

The first thing Melanie saw when she turned around was Jefford, but her attention was then drawn to the woman next to him.They looked as though they had just appeared. Jefford was settling down on his chair when he raised his big sign, and the woman next to him was adjusting her shawl and bag strap…It was that woman who was holding onto his arm and behaving intimately with him at the ball… It seemed their relationship was rather stable, Melanie thought.Jefford put his sign down, sat down, and looked up a while later to return Melanie’s gaze.That hot gaze pierced through the dim room like a spotlight, so bright it almost turned night to day.Her heart started thumping wildly. She subconsciously sat up straight as she tried her best to calm herself down and turn her attention back to the emerald locket on stage.Yet, she could still feel that cold gaze fixed on her, making her hair raise.“30 million dollars! The young master of the Yancey family has placed his bid! 30 million

When Melanie and Gabriel left the hall, they could feel the cold air from outside.However, Melanie found the fresh air exceedingly comforting. She felt suffocated inside earlier…Just as the chill started getting to her as she waited for a taxi outside, she suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulders. She realized it was Gabriel putting his jacket over her.“Thank you,” she said, without turning her head back.“Don’t overthink things. It’s bad for your health,” Gabriel advised.Gabriel had clearly sensed that there was a reason behind her discomfort, despite her best attempts to control her emotions. Melanie smirked helplessly and self-derisively.Jefford Yancey…A man with a fiancé who kept provoking her every night by climbing through her windows… He even tried to…How could a man like that remind her of Jeffrey? She shouldn’t be so wildly obsessed over a man who resembled Jeffrey in mere appearance, Melanie berated herself.-The moment the Yancey family car drove Jefford,

Cheryl was probably the only one behaving normally in the entire house, without any other thoughts in mind aside from her worry about Mrs. Yancey’s condition and her doubts concerning Melanie’s medical skills.“What spot did you pierce the needle in? Can elderly people take the pain?” Cheryl asked as she stared at Melanie.Melanie looked up at her, impressed at the concern and love that this potential granddaughter-in-law was showing Mrs. Yancey.“This is BL57 and this is BL56…” Melanie explained patiently. “These spots are distributed around the leg. Administering needle therapy on them individually serves to relax the muscles and strengthen the kneecaps. When applied together, the compounded positive effects are difficult to list simply.”Melanie glanced at Mrs. Yancey as she spoke. She noticed that the tension was leaving the old lady’s eyes as her trust toward Melanie grew.Mrs. Yancey was also quick-witted enough to know that Melanie was hinting to her that even in her good h
