Chapter 1459 Pretending To Be Sick
âFor work,â Stephen casually replied.
However, Melanie was able to observe his subtle oddity. Stephen did not dare look her in the eyes when he answered her question. Hence, Melanie did not believe a word that he said.
She could confirm that Stephenâs trip to K Nation was to find Nina.
âStephen, there are so many people in the company. Why not let others do it? I donât want you to go! I donât want to be separated from you.â Melanie hugged Stephen tightly, her puppy eyes almost irresistible.
Stephen kept quiet for a moment, then he turned and looked at her. âI have to go.â
His determination took Melanie by surprise. She did not know how to react.
Will he find out anything if he does go?
Iâm not sure how Nina is now. I hired those people to kill her. If they fail and Stephen gets an opportunity to save Nina, their relationship will progress to the next level!
No, I canât let this happen. Never!
Suddenly, Melanie screamed in agony.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you feeling discomfort anywhere?â
âMy stomach. Stephen, please send me to the hospital now. My stomach hurts a lot!â
âAll right, Iâll send you there now.â
Stephen carried her to the car and rushed her to the hospital.
Melanie was leaning sideways against the seat. When Stephen was not paying attention, she secretly sent a message to her friend, who was a doctor in the hospital.
When they finally arrived, and after a series of check-ups, her friend acted as instructed by Melanie. He described her condition to be fatal and required immediate attention.
Stephen was shocked by the doctorâs words.
âShe needs to be admitted?â
âYes. Itâs an acute medical condition. I suspect that thereâs something seriously wrong with her stomach, and she might need surgery. If the operation is not successful, her life might be in danger. Hence, itâs better if she gets admitted for observation.â
Stephenâs face instantly darkened upon hearing that. She was fine just moments ago. How is this possible?
If Melanie gets admitted to the hospital, I must be there to take care of her. That means Iâll not be able to look for Nina.
âStephen, Iâm afraid. Please be here for me.â Melanie pretentiously grabbed his hands as tears started to well up in her eyes.
âAll right.â Stephen nodded. âRest well.â
Melanie heaved a sigh of relief. This way, Stephen canât go and look for Nina!
Nina, your death awaits you!
Soon enough, youâll meet Chris in heaven. Heâs your man, not Stephen!
Stephen is mine! Mine!
Meanwhile, Sally was planning to help Nicole at Bernian Hospital to forge a better relationship with the latter. However, she received a call out of the blue.
She was told that her fatherâs condition was deteriorating and that there was not much time left for him.
âI have to make a move now? But Iâm not in control of Seet Group yet. My relationship with the family is stillâ¦â
âThatâs your problem. Itâs been such a long time, but you still canât win his heart. Sally, youâre useless!â
âIââ
âAll right, quit dilly-dallying. You need to act immediately. Or else, if anything bad happens to Dad, thatâs on you!â The caller then disconnected the call.
Sally kept silent.
It appears that I have to come out with a new plan.
She stood before the windows as the wind caressed her hair. She widened her eyes and stared at the rising sun, plotting her next move.
After a whole morning of planning, at almost noon, she pulled out her phone and called Nicole with a different mobile number.
That night, when it was almost time for Juan and Kyle to get off from work, they received news that their mother was missing.
