Chapter 103

As soon as Melody said this, the smile on Maria’s face faded a little.

Maria sighed. “My illness is different from Margaret’s. She’s sick, but I’m… old.”

Maria had accepted her fate. She was considered to be a macrobian to have lived to this age. If she passed away just like that, other than worrying about Melody, she had nothing else to worry about.

Melody frowned and said. “Who said you’re old? I was counting on you to live to two hundred years old!”

Maria couldn’t help but laugh. “Silly girl, how can anyone live to two hundred years old? Wouldn’t they become an old monster? Ill despise myself even if you don’t despise me then.”

“Hey, Grandma… Melody became serious and said. The truth is, I’ve already diagnosed you. You’re not old. You’re just sick.”

Maria was stunned for a moment. Then, she asked. “Then what illness am I suffering from?”

“This is diarrhea from panic. It’s a type of convulsion that hurts the liver and spleen. If I can fix your liver and spleen, you’ll be all right in less than a month. Melody explained to Maria in as accessible a way as possible.

However, Maria was still confused when she heard that. She only understood that she would recover in less than a month.

There was finally some hope in her eyes. “You mean… as long as you treat me, I’ll recover in a month?”

Melody smiled and said, “Yes, a month. I promise that as long as you cooperate with my treatment, you can travel with Margaret in a month”

These words surprised Maria.

She thought she had reached the age to die, so she had become like this. She did not expect to be sick only.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have avoided medical treatment like Margaret. She should have gone to the hospital earlier to be treated. Perhaps she would have been cured soon if she did so.

What Maria did not know at that time was that Melody’s words were deliberately light. She did not even tell Maria that there was more than one illness in her body. The poison in her body was the biggest problem affecting her health.

However, before the evidence was gathered, she would not tell Maria, lest she alert the enemy.

Because if Maria knew the truth now, she might directly settle scores with Yolanda.

There was another reason. Before this. Melody had already noticed that Yolanda had specially planted spies in the house.

The one who lit the incense just now was the one…

Melody was observant and had long noticed something was wrong with the maid, but she had been holding it in because it

was not time yel

Melody pondered in her heart and coquettishly asked Maria to operate with her treatment.

Maria was silent for a while before she said, “Since it’s just an illness, I won’t trouble you. I’ll go to the hospital

spital for tr

treatment.

Melody was stunned. ‘Grandma, do you still not believe in my medical skills?”

She thought that her grandmother would believe her when it came to medicine at such a time.

Maria sighed and said. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but… I don’t want what happened in the past two days to repeat itself”

When Melody heard this, she instantly understood.

It was not that her grandma did not believe Melody, but she was afraid that if anything went wrong, Russell would beat and scold Melody as he did a few days ago. He might lock her up again or chase her out of the Fox family.

Maria would rather be hospitalized than be treated by her. In the end, it was all for Melody’s good.

Melody’s heart melted.

She held back her tears and said, “Grandma, thank you…. but I still hope that you can agree to let me treat you. Firstly, you’ll be more comfortable if I treat you at home. After all, the hospital isn’t home. Secondly, no doctor would want you to he cured more than I do. I can’t say that my medical skills are the best in the world, but I can

n guarantee that no doctor will treat you more diligently than I do.”

Coincidentally, Hattie had returned. When she heard their conversation, she begged Maria to let Melody treat her.

Maria could not dissuade Melody and Hattie in the end and finally nodded in agreement. “Fine, then you’ll treat me. But don’t worry. I’ll make it clear to your father that no matter what happens at last, he can’t blame you.”

“Thank you, Grandma. I can guarantee that the outcome will be good.” With that, Melody immediately began to think of al prescription and openly used the excuse of treating Maria to cut off the ‘poison” that Yolanda had given Maria.

“Mrs. Maria.” The maid who had lit the incense stepped forward and said, “The house is running out of incense. I’ll go out and buy some new ones for you. The room needs to be clean and hygienic to improve your mood.”

Maria nodded and asked the maid to leave to buy incense without wariness,

The maid smiled and nodded.

However, just as she was about to leave the room, Melody suddenly said, “Wait

The maid was inexplicably nervous. She swallowed her saliva before turning back. She asked, “Miss Melody, what can I do for you?”

With a faint smile, Melody said. “There are many things to pay attention to when buying incense. I’m afraid you’ll buy the wrong one. I’ll go with you.”

When the maid heard this, the smile on her face could not help but stiffen.

She went out now not to buy incense, but to tell Yolanda that Melody had cut off Yolanda’s medicine.

However, if Melody followed her, it would be difficult for her to contact Yolanda. Then, Yolanda would not know immediately.

At the thought, the maid’s forehead was covered in sweat.

Melody naturally saw this scene.

She asked meaningfully, “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll affect your work?”

The maid’s heart skipped a beat. She felt that Melody’s eyes seemed to have seen through everything

But it’s impossible. I’ve worked for Maria for so long, but Maria and Hattie had not noticed. How can Melody, a village girl who had just returned, have such insight? I can’t scare myself. When Melody said affecting my work, she must have meant incense. I can’t overthink it with that thought in mind, the maid pretended to be calm. “How, how, how can this be. How can it be called affecting? It’s best if you can choose with me.”

That’s good.” Melody greeted Maria and brought Hattie out. The three of them went out together.

Before leaving, Melody specially asked if Yolanda was home. After confirming she wasn’t, Melody went out openly.

However, Melody did not walk toward the main entrance of the district. Instead, she took a detour to the west gate, w

which few people went to.

The maid could not help but feel uneasy. “Miss Melody, it’s not easy to get a taxi at the west gate…

Melody looked around and saw that there was no one around. She immediately stopped in her tracks.

Before the maid could react, Meolody grabbed her and pressed her to the ground, making her unable to move.

“Ouch…” The maid exclaimed and asked in a panic, “Miss Melody, what are you doing? Let go of me quickly. It hurts!”
