Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 721 - Bab 730

All the experts were sparkling with wit during the medical exchange forum.The juniors off-stage were awestruck by every single case study shared.That was especially so when Professor Marshall made his final presentation, during which he analyzed two successful medical cases featuring patients in vegetative state regaining consciousness.What’s more, both cases happened within this year.Professor Marshall realized how effective his treatment was, and was therefore excited to return home to share his success so that fellow doctors can test it out and provide him with suggestions. Having great minds come together may accelerate the refinement of this preliminary success.Melanie’s excitement was bubbling in her chest throughout the forum.Professor Turner was right.The symptoms the patients exhibited in those two medical cases sounded similar to that of her mother! Like her mother, the cause of them being in a vegetative state was accidental.If she could apply Professor Marsh

“Miss Melanie, please hear me out…”The department head was afraid that Melanie might get angry, and explained everything in a hurry.“We had no choice. We didn’t invite them in the first place…but this afternoon, Daniel Jones brought a bunch of men and caused a scene at our office. He said he had a part to play in Jones Enterprise since its establishment. Although he was no longer part of the enterprise right now, he insisted on being at the anniversary celebration.“There were many people crowding around, including reporters. We had no choice but to agree to his request to avoid any negative press coverage…”“I got it,” Melanie said with a nod.The moment Daniel and his family set their minds on causing trouble, the outcome would be the same even if Melanie tried to stop them from attending. She decided to just wait and see what happens.Melanie assured the department head, “Don’t worry, there’s no need to be so tense. Just send someone to keep an eye on that family.”Upon hea

Melanie heard the mockery in her voice and turned to see Lena, whom she hadn’t met for a while. Lena’s parents were standing right behind her, as if they were her bodyguards.“Relatives?” Melanie sneered.She couldn’t even be bothered to take another glance at Lena. Instead, she turned to the reporters’ camera. “How do all of you understand the term relatives? She never once appeared when either I or Jones Enterprise met with trouble. Conversely, she insists on being part of the picture when Jones Enterprise is at the peak of its glory. People like this can hardly be considered family!” she said.“Well said, Miss Melanie!”Some of the media partners remembered what Lena had been guilty of before, and eagerly stood on Melanie’s side.Just then, Annie squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Melanie’s hand.“Lena Jones! Are you trying to get yourself on the headlines once more, now that news of your scandal have just been suppressed? Or shall I look back on your glorious achievemen

“Call him one more time,” Annie said to Melanie. “He’s supposed to come and propose to you. There’s no reason for him to ignore your call!”Melanie suppressed the uneasiness rising in her chest, and dialed Jefford’s number again. This time round, she heard the automated voice saying that the number she just dialed was unable to respond.The anniversary celebration was in full swing now, and it was held in the most lively district in Harbor City. Even if Jefford hadn’t arrived, he would at least be nearby and certainly within signal range.If he were out of signal range, he probably wouldn’t be able to make it to the anniversary celebration in time.Her eyes dimmed.Annie saw the change in her eyes, and comforted her, “It’s fine. Perhaps he’s driving down a street where the signal is poor? And he’s always trying to be secretive and mysterious. Perhaps he might walk in and propose to you at the very last moment.”Annie went on, “I found out that staff members have all the engagemen

In order to get on with the engagement segment, the groom-to-be leapt on stage instead of walking up the stairs on either side of the stage and stood right next to Melanie.Seeing Melanie’s dazed face, he stepped forward and said sincerely, “I’m sorry I came so late. I promise this won’t ever happen again.”He said it softly and without a microphone, but his voice echoed through the silent banquet and everyone could clearly hear what he said. His voice was deep, affectionate and emotional, pure and untainted.Melanie remained in a daze. He leaned in closer to her and said with a smile, “What’s the matter? Are you still shocked? Here, give me a hug…”With that, he pulled Melanie in his arms and hugged her gently, whispering into her ear, “If I don’t come onstage, you won’t be able to give everyone else a satisfactory explanation. Just give me this chance to put on this show with you.”Gabriel’s voice rang in Melanie’s ears.Tears fell down her cheeks, and landed on his suit.He d
