Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

“What happened?” Melody asked. She thought that James had returned. Then, she looked up but met Ken’s dark eyes. 

The moment their eyes met, Melody was the first to look away. 

At this moment, the smell of the Tojafrass Aroma was almost gone. Melody took off her gas mask, frowned, and asked, “Mr. Swanson, what brings you here? Is Miss Murphy fine! Or do you want me to explain why she suddenly knelt to me? 

Her tone involuntarily carried a hint of self–mockery 

Ken keenly sensed that Melody was in a bad mood. 

I and glanced at Wilmot on the bed. Instead of answering Melody’s question, he said, “So the person imprisoned is 

He took a few steps forward and Wilmot. Who did this?” 

Melody opened her mouth. However, she did not flare up because of her emotions. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down before saying, “Leo, vice chairman of Icy Clear Cosmetics, Wilmor’s biological brother.” 

Ken nodded slightly and asked, “Other than blocking the news, is there anything else I can help you with!” 

“No.” Melody rejected immediately. 

Then, two seconds later, she paused and added, “Not for now” 

“Okay,” Ken replied. He wanted to say something but hesitated. After a while, he spoke again, I didn’t think it was your fault when she knelt to you. I know you’re not the kind of person who ballies others. It’s just that I hope you can resolve the misunderstanding with Janet. I believe she won’t do anything to you in the future. She should have talked to you today. Let the past be in the past.” 

“Are you saying the word ‘misunderstanding?” Melody was amused. “I can’t be bothered to tell you what happened in the Lawrence family. Let’s talk about the post online. Do you think that it was a misunderstanding?” 

Ken was slightly stunned. “You know?” 

Melody remained silent 

Ken asked again. When did this happen?” 

Melody had not thought it through before she said that just now. Now that she said this, she regretted it. 

However, she couldn’t take it back since she lud said so. So, Melody replied directly. “That day. I heard you talking to James in the room.” 

Ken opened his lips and said, “Sorry.” 

“You don’t have to apologize. I understand. Janet was the person who founded Ximber Tech with you. I understand why you’re hiding it from me and don’t want me to have more conflict with her. But please understand me. I can’t easily forget what happened before, so please don’t say words like let the past be in the e past again.” 

Melody’s expression was so cold that 

at Ken felt as if there was an invisible wall between them. 

Ken opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but James happened to come back with something. 

“Miss Fox, here are the silver needles you asked for. It will take another half an hour for the traditional medicine to arrive. Oh, Mr. Ken! When did you come?” James was surprised to see Ken. Then, he asked, “How is Miss Murphy?” 

Ken looked displeased. His gaze fel 

fell on 

on the gas mask on James’s face. Instead of answering, he asked, “What are you wearing?* 

He remembered that Melody was also wearing it just now. He could not help but feel puzzled. 

James quickly told him about the Tojafrass Aroma. Then, he lifted the item in his hand and said. “Miss Fox asked me to take this to detoxify Mr. Sherman. 

Ken nodded. At this moment, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. 

He pressed the answer button and heard the person on the other end say, “Mr. Swanson, I’m from the emergency room. Miss Murphy suddenly vornited just now… We wanted her to do a full–body checkup, but she refused, so I could only call and ask for your permission.” 

“I understand. I’ll be right there” Ken said to the person on the other end. Just as he was about to talk to Melody, Melody spoke first. “Mr. Swanson, since you have something to do, go ahead. I’m going to detoxify Wilmot. It’s not convenient for too many irrelevant people to be present” 

Irrelevant people… Ken frowned. “1…” 

As soon as he said that, the doctor’s anxious voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Mr. Swanson, you have to come over quickly. The patient has fainted again.” 

The matter was urgent. Ken said okay and hung up the phone. He looked at Melody deeply and said. “When you and I are done with this, let’s find a time in talk. I have something important to tell you” 

Melody subconsciously wanted to say. “There’s nothing to talk between us However, she could not bring herself to say it for some rea 

Reason 

In the end, she gave up and stopped looking at Ken. She reached out to take the silver needle from James’s hand and instructed, “Help me take off 

his shirt.” 

When Ken, who had already walked to the door, heard this, a deep light shed across his eyes. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He paused for two seconds before striding out of the ward. 

*Guard this place well and don’t let anything go wrong. Also, send someone to monitor Leo from Icy Clear Cosmetics,” Ken instructed. 

After instructing his subordinates, Ken walked toward the emergency room. 

In the word. 

Willmot was still unconscious. Melody opened Wilmot’s eyelids and looked at his tongue. She heaved a sigh of relief. 

James observed the expression on Melody’s face and asked curiously, “Will this guy become demented” 

“No. Although Wilmot inhaled a lot, we found him in time. Once I apply acupuncture to detoxify him, he’ll recover quickly,” Melody replied. James nodded as if he understood. Melody opened the silver needle bag and took out a silver needle that was one inch long. Then, without any besitation, she inserted it into Wilmot 

James was fearless. However, he was most afraid of injections. When he saw this scene, he subconsciously closed his eyes. 

After a while, when he opened his eyes again, he saw that Wilmot had already turned into a hedgehog. His entire body was covered in silver needles, looking scary 

However, what was even more terrifying was that the silver needles slowly turned black 

“He’s indeed poisoned. James mumbled. 

Melody had said it so mysteriously, but he was skeptical. 

Now that he saw the silver needles turn black with his eyes, he was finally sure that Tojafrass Aroma was poisonous. 

He could not help but feel a lingering fear. Fortunately. Melody had chased me out at that time. Odierwise, I would have become a hedgehog 

At this moment, the unconscious Wilmot suddenly moved his finger. 

Melody hurriedly went forward. “Wilmot, can you hear me? How are you feeling now!” 

Wilmot slowly opened his eyes and saw Melody’s face. His nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant 

He said in surprise, “Where…am I 

“Hospital,” Melody answered as she checked Wilmor’s pulse. 

Hisp 

pulse was no longer as smooth and weak as before the acupuncture. It gradually became stronger, 

This was a sign that the polson had been mostly detoxified. 

“Why am I in the hospital? Wilmot’s mind was filled with endless questions. 

Melody looked at James and said. “James, help me see if the traditional medicine is ready” 

“Alright” james did not say anything else and quickly left with the joy of surviving a calamity.

soon as James left, Wilmot asked in confusion, “Who is he? What happened to me? 1…” After a few words, Wilmot started coughing violently,
