Chapter 395: Chatper 404

Chapter 404 The Culprit Among Culprits The traditional medicine practitioner prescribed a fifteen–day course of traditional medicine tailored for Jeffrey.

After bidding farewell to the doctor, Madam Morgan Immediately instructed the kitchen to prepare the medicine and insisted he start taking it today.

Smelling the bitter aroma wafting from the kitchen, Stephen looked at his uncle’s miserable face and asked, ” Grandma, why didn’t you ask for a prescription for Aunt too? Giving birth is a joint effort, isn’t it?”

“During conception, men play a more important role.” Madam Morgan glanced at Stephen with dissatisfaction. “And just by looking, it’s obvious the problem lies with your second uncle! With such kidney deficiency, I can’t bear to watch! Your aunt has back problems, and the current priority is to care for her back. Otherwise, when she gets pregnant in the future, back pain will be a hardship.”

“Grandma, you’re truly wise,” Melanie genuinely laughed.

An hour later, under the intense gaze of three pairs of eyes, Jeffrey had no choice but to drink a large bowl of traditional medicine, his face turning green.

After he finished the medicine, Madam Morgan stood up without saying a word, urging them to go home and take care of official business.

On the way back from the Morgan Residence, Jeffrey still wore a pained expression, while Melanie suppressed her laughter and patted his hand, saying, “Thank you for your hard work, President Morgan.”

“Are you pitying me?” Jeffrey raised his eyes that were filled with desire, and his hand, which was getting closer to her, began to misbehave.

She stared at him. “What are you doing?”

“Don’t you understand the effects of that bowl of traditional medicine?” Jeffrey’s eyes were full of yearning as he leaned in close. “I need to cool down.”

“Driver, please speed up.” Melanie cleared her throat, speaking crisply, “Hurry and send President Morgan home. When you get home, President Morgan, use cold water to wipe yourself down and cool off.”

From the front, the driver and William’s suppressed laughter could be heard.

Melanie moved back to Marina Heights.

Jeffrey arranged for someone to take care of her diet and after resting for a few days, she became stronger and rarely had serious morning sickness anymore. Jeffrey’s wounds had also mostly healed.

Melanie collected a few more fragrance bases and planned to bring them to Medonia to create another perfume.

When Jeffrey heard that she was flying again, he looked displeased and advised her to rest for a few more days before leaving.

However, she insisted on leaving tomorrow.

+15 BONOS As they were arguing, Jeffrey received a call. After listening to the report, he said to her, “It seems God’s on your side.”

“What happened?”

At that time, Melanie’s phone also rang. It was a call from Annie.

“After you asked me to investigate the boy who polsoned the dogs last time, I found out the truth.” Annie said.

She paused for a moment, not knowing where to start as there was too much to say.

“The boy didn’t poison the dog. The private detective found traces of the dog poisoner in the surveillance footage of the area.

After investigating for several days, they finally traced his true identity. Guess what?”

“What?” Melanie was eager to know.

Annie quickly revealed the truth. “The one who poisoned the dog is the same person who tried to assassinate you! He said he came to avenge Charles!”

“It’s him?” Melanie asked.

“I haven’t finished yet!” Annie continued, “The private detective also found out that the assassin secretly met with Harlow a few days before entering the Yorks to assassinate you. I told you! Harlow wants to harm you!”

“I understand,” Melanie said.

“Wait, I haven’t finished yet,” Annie added. “The culprit is also a habitual offender. Not only did he try to assassinate you at the banquet, but he’s also a fugitive. Recently, he’d been hiding in the gardens of the wealthy district. When those dogs saw him, they barked wildly, so he poisoned the dogs.”

Melanie pursed her lips. “This is complicated. I need time to digest it.”

“To be honest, I also had to digest it before I could explain it to you,” Annie said. After finishing the call, she hung up.

Melanie looked at Jeffrey, who was unsurprised. “You already knew all this?”

“I just received a report from William on the phone.”

She was surprised. “How did you know that I saved a boy and investigated the dog poisoning incident?”

Jeffrey said calmly, “Originally, I didn’t know, but my men discovered that the Snows’ private detective has been active near the Yorks lately. So, I had my men keep a close eye on them.”

“Okay, President Morgan. You’re really skilled at making use of the situation.” Melanie rolled her eyes. “So, it’s settled. I’ll go to Medonia tomorrow. Since Harlow wants to harm me, I can’t let him go!“
