After Melanie asked that, she watched the emotions in the eyes of Quentin change from violent bloodthirstiness to melancholy. At that moment, she knew that he cared about his son. Melanie gained confidence and continued, "Although you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a father, he’s your child, right?" Quentin clenched his phone, his thick eyebrows furrowing as he asked, "Who are you?" “I’m Melanie Jones.” Melanie smiled bitterly. "It seems that all these years, aside from cultivating Oakmoss, you don't understand or want to understand the outside world, so you don't know about my relationship with Jeffrey." Quentin became suspicious. Melanie didn't hesitate. She took out a dark red booklet from her bag and passed it to him, indicating that he would believe her as soon as he saw it. Before coming here from the hotel, Melanie brought her marriage certificate with Jeffrey. At this moment, it proved how correct her decision was. After Quentin finished reading the m

Gabriel couldn't accept it. "Melanie, are you crazy?" Jefford was just a man who looked like Jeffrey, and had insulted her multiple times. Why would she protect him? Gabriel only managed to hold back his words after trying very hard. He didn't want to add salt to her wounds. Melanie tried to explain. "You also know that Linda’s trying to capture Jefford. What he should do is stay as far away as possible, not run to her house and set a fire and let her bodyguards catch him." Gabriel frowned even more deeply. "You just said that they’re archenemies. I wouldn’t put anything past Jefford when it comes to Linda." "My previous deduction was just a way to escape..." "Stop talking." Gabriel raised his hand to stop her. He didn't want to hear her explanations anymore. Every word she said multiplied his distress. Gabriel turned his head to look out the window, paused for a moment. He asked emotionlessly, "Do you really have to know about his situation?" "Yeah." Melanie's voice

Unbuttoning his shirt, Melanie frowned as her hands trembled involuntarily. Was it because she was still new to being a doctor, and not yet accustomed to dealing with such wounds? She pondered silently, lips tightly pressed together, as she undid all his buttons and removed his clothes soaked with sweat and blood. She didn’t expect his injuries to be so severe... "Did Linda do this to you?" she asked, furrowing her brows. Jeffrey didn't deny it. "How did you manage to escape from her?" she asked again. "Someone provided assistance, and I took advantage of the situation," he replied. Her brows furrowed even deeper as she examined his wounds. "Why did you suddenly set fire to Linda's house? Is it related to me?" "Huh?" Jeffrey closed his eyes, pretending not to have heard clearly. Melanie decided not to press further. "It's nothing." In fact, Jeffrey had heard her clearly. As clever as she was, she had guessed that he was deliberately diverting Linda's attention away

“Melanie, are you asleep yet?”It was Gabriel.Melanie’s heart skipped a beat.Jefford, lying on the bed peacefully just a second ago, looked on in shock. His eyes were wide, as if he was worried about getting caught in the act.Melanie wanted to tell Gabriel she was already in bed, but was worried he might be here for something important. After a moment’s hesitation, she flung her blanket Jefford, hissing, “Hide yourself!”She smoothed out her pajamas, and opened the door. “What’s the matter?”Gabriel stood at the door in his gray silk pajamas, and asked with concern, “Are you still feeling unwell?” “I’m feeling better,” Melanie replied.“I can’t sleep, and came to chat with you,” Gabriel said as he made a move to enter her room.Melanie side-stepped him to block him from entering. “Umm… I’m about to turn in…”“So early?”Gabriel knew she was used to staying up late. What’s more, she was on unfamiliar grounds and that made her unable to fall asleep. Though he claimed he wa

“You handed me something so important without even telling me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll lose it?” Melanie asked.“Losing it would be better than letting someone who shouldn’t have it take it away,” Mrs. Yancey said frankly.Melanie pulled out a few needles from her pouch to reveal a small silk bag hidden inside. She returned it to its rightful owner, and said, “Check and see if all’s good.”Mrs. Yancey and Mrs. Hoffman pulled out the jade ring from inside the silk bag, checked it, and looked at each other with a nod.“To be honest with you, we had no choice when we put this with you and let you take it away.”Mrs. Yancey sighed as she confided everything.“At that time, someone was forcing me into a corner… But now that things are better and support for Jefford has stabilized, I’m not so worried about losing it now.”Melanie smiled as she continued applying the needles to Mrs. Yancey’s leg. “There’s no need for you to explain. I’ll just take it that I’ve never seen it before.”Mr
