Yvonne sighed. "We’re really at the mercy of other people’s moods here. I'm just worried you'll get close to him and fall for him again. Anyway, think it over yourself, but the sooner you leave, the better. If you wait too long and he finds out you're pregnant, you're done for."Melody knew that well enough. Then, she thought of something else."Can you help me get some traditional medicine for pregnancy nausea?"Yvonne had suffered severe morning sickness before, to the point she could barely eat. She had been cured after taking herbal medicine from an old traditional doctor."Sure. I'll bring it to you tomorrow." Yvonne kept talking while soothing her child. "Be good, baby. Let your godmother take the anti-nausea medicine so she can have your little future wife someday."Melody couldn't help but smile."Don't bring my godson outside. It's too cold.""Tell me about it. It's so cold I can't even wear my nice outfits out..."Ashbury City's winter made Yvonne want to escape the c

Lucy had never talked back to Edward, no matter whether he was right or wrong.But she couldn't just sit there and watch Wendy suffer, and she couldn't let Melody ruin things between Wendy and Caleb."Wendy, come with me."She took Wendy's hand and led her upstairs.Dorothy glanced at their backs and let out a long sigh."This mess with the Carter family is getting increasingly worse.""Don't get upset," Edward said, trying to comfort her. "It's bad for your health. Whatever happens, it's Caleb’s choice. Don't worry too much about him.""I'm not worried about him," Dorothy sighed again. "I'm worried about Mel. She divorced Caleb, and she'll probably spend the New Year alone again this year."In their eyes, Melody was someone to feel sorry for.In Wendy and Lucy's eyes, she was someone to resent."Lucy, I'm sorry. Am I making things difficult for you?" Wendy said softly after Edward's comment, trying to comfort Lucy instead.Lucy liked her even more for being so considerate.

When Caleb didn't respond, Melody had no choice but to get out of the car and walk around to the other side to help him with his seatbelt.Her slender arm reached across his body. Her dark hair was tucked behind her ear, with a few loose strands falling softly along her temples. A faint, clean scent clung to her, filling Caleb's senses.He lifted his eyes slightly, his gaze settling on her fair, delicate face.Maybe his stare was too intense, because Melody suddenly paused. Her lashes trembled as she looked up at him.Their eyes met.His gaze was deep, almost like a whirlpool, as if it could pull her in.Melody's breath caught.Suddenly, a sharp car horn shattered the quiet night.She snapped back to herself, quickly fastening his seatbelt before shutting the door and hurrying back to the driver's seat.She started the engine and drove off. She only dared to glance at the rearview mirror after she had gone a long way.Caleb leaned back against the seat, eyes closed. His breat

Melody didn't respond, her expression showing clear resistance."I know nothing actually happened between you," Jacob said. "But if this video gets out, who knows if Wendy will believe that?"He had seen Melody push Caleb away. However, he was the only one who had seen that part. If the video got leaked, no one would believe that nothing happened after."Mr. Hill, why don't you tell me your terms first?" Melody didn't dare agree right away.Jacob smiled like he'd already won. "Relax. I wouldn't make things too hard for a beauty like you. Once you resign from Brighton, give Zenith priority. That's just an extra condition. How about it?"Melody frowned slightly. "Get to the point.""Be my assistant for two days." He raised a brow, a hint of mischief in his tone. "Don't worry. It'll be after Brighton goes on break."His request caught her off guard.She had thought he would use the video to force her to switch companies.If not for those two years of marriage with Caleb, she woul

"Sir, are you a family member of the patient?"After the noise on the line settled, a nurse's voice came through clearly. "The patient fainted while on an IV drip. Could you come to the hospital?"Family member?Caleb immediately categorized Melody as the "patient," but he couldn't connect himself to the word "family member" at all.The words to refuse were already on the tip of his tongue when he remembered she was an orphan."Which hospital?" His gaze dropped, landing on the cactus sitting on Melody's desk."Central Hospital."The nurse added quickly, "Please come as soon as possible. The patient's condition is unusual, and we need to explain it to you in person."Unusual?Caleb caught those words instantly. "I'll be there."After hanging up, he turned to Zane."Get the car ready. To Central Hospital."He turned, went back into his office, and grabbed his coat before heading out."Mr. Hunt, you still have a lot of work waiting!" Zane hurried after him, clearly anxious. "
