Chapter 440 False Witness âSure.â
Even if it was a trap, she could only get closer to the truth by facing it directly.
Melanie agreed to it without any hesitation. Nethan immediately led her to a quieter balcony. After closing the door leading to the balcony, only then did he make a request for a conference call to Clement.
The man on the screen looked somewhat familiar. His hair was all white, but Melanie could still remember his face. That was because a few months after the surgery, sheâd gone to visit Clement at the hospital frequently. He was the one that had organized her physical therapy.
âUncle Cyrus...â
Melanie was still using the name sheâd used to refer to him when she was little.
âAre you doing well now, Melanie? This is great!â Clement said with a smile.
âHow are you and your family?â Melanie asked.
âWeâre doing well,â Clement answered without hesitation.
âUncle Cyrus, thereâs something I want to ask you...â Melanie immediately asked.
was âI know what you want to ask,â Clement said on his own initiative. âSomeone just asked me about the surgery some time ago...
Your dad is a good doctor and director. He wouldnât have harmed another just because he wanted to save you. By the time Emma reached the hospital, she already brain dead. Your father made the decision to prepare the surgery at the final moment and asked me to perform the heartâtransplant surgery on you.â
Melanie wasnât surprised to hear that.
She had never doubted her fatherâs kindness.
Melanie nodded and said, âI want to ask you one more thing. Did someone from Morgan Group ever look for you and ask you about the surgery?â
There was a glint in Clementâs eyes. He said, âYes. A few years ago, around the time when your dad was... well, someone from Morgan Group came to look for me. Wanted me to make a false testimony saying that Emma wasnât dead, and that your dad was the one that killed her... I refused, but I was also afraid to get into trouble, so I migrated with my whole family...â
Melanie looked at Clementâs expression carefully and asked, âWhy did wtell you to do that?â
+15 BONOS âIâve been thinking about that same question as well. I donât know why they asked me to be a false witness, but I can tell that they wanted to do something to your father!â Clement said.
âUncle Clement, Iâll go over to Medonia in a few days. Can we meet up?â Melanie asked.
âOf course. There are things that can only be clarified when we meet each other,â Clement nodded.
They hung up.
Melanie frowned while Nathan looked at her and said, âI didnât lie to you.
âUncle Clementâs current address... Can you give that to me?â She asked.
âYou and I have been looking for him, but so are the people from Morgan Group. The less people know about his address the better. Once youâre ready, Iâll take you there,â Nathan wasnât planning to tell her directly.
âSure.â
Melanie didnât force it. At this time, Pam came back and continued to bug Nathan, asking if she looked nice in her new dress.
Melanie left at this time.
She was feeling somewhat gloomy and didnât want to stay in the gala anymore, and so she sent a message to her mother about leaving early.
Melanie didnât go back to Marina Heights and instead went to Annieâs apartment. Sheâd already bought the apartment one floor below Annieâs. The original fixtures and fittings for the place were already quite tasteful, so she didnât want to change anything.
Since she couldnât breathe in any methanal during her pregnancy, she moved in directly.
Annie had helped her switch out some of the furniture that Melanie commonly used. She was planning to stay with Melanie in her new home.
The two ladies didnât know much about cooking, so they ordered takeout. Just when they were going to celebrate Melanie moving in, the doorbell rang.
Annie opened the door and then yelled, âAh! I thought he was here to deliver the food, but the delivery boy is just too forceful! Iâm leaving now! You can do what you like!â
