Chapter 233

Janet glanced at Ken, who had his back turned while on the phone. With a quick flick of thought, she stepped forward to greet Melody. “Hi, Miss

Fuxl

Hearing the voice, Melody turned and saw Janet approaching, a shadow crossing her eyes

“Miss Fox,” Janei repeated, walking up a few steps and asking with concern, “What brings you to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell

“No,” Melody replied expressionlessly. “I’m here to visit a friend”

“Glad to hear you’re not sick,” Janet said, appearing relieved and lowering her voice slightly. “Ken talked to me a lot yesterday. I realized I was a excessive before. I didn’t know you well back then and was worried you were with Ulric. That’s why I kept targeting you. But that won’t happen anymore. I sincerely apologize. Let’s put the past behind us, okay?”

As she spoke, Janet reached out and took Melody’s hand in a friendly gesture.

Melody instinctively pulled her hand away, baffled by Janet’s sudden change in demeanor,

Given her knowledge of Janet from a previous life, she knew this sudden friendliness couldn’t be genuine.

Melody frowned and asked warily, “What do you mean by this?”

Tears quickly welled up in Janet’s eyes. “Miss Fox, you still won’t forgive me!

Before Melody could respond, Janet continued with teary eyes, Just tell me. What will it take for you to forgive me? Do I need to kneel before you again! If that’s what you want, I’m willing to kocel”

With that, Janet bent her knees and actually began to kneel in front of Melody,

Melody’s frown deepened. “Miss Murphy, what act are you putting on now?

“What’s going on here?” a deep voice suddenly interrupted.

Both Melody and Janet instinctively looked in the direction of the voice.

Ken had walked over at some point

Janet was secretly pleased, but she kept her head down, her posture submissive as she spoke first. “Miss Fox won’t forgive me. So I hope to clear up any misunderstandings between us this way!

Hearing this, Ken looked up at Melody.

A surge of inexplicable anger rose within Melody as she glared coldly at Ken. “I didn’t make her kneel. She chose to do that herself. And Miss Murphy, I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding between us. You don’t need to put on this act. I have things to do and no time to waste here”

With that, she turned away from them without another glance and strode into the hospital.

“Melody!” Ken’s voice called out from behind, but Melody didn’t stop. Instead, she quickened her pace.

She felt a pang of sadness, making her nose tingle with the urge to cry.

Melody sniffed hard, berating herself for being so weak,

Janet’s pretense was nothing new. It didn’t affect her in any way, so

so why did it hurt?

She didn’t understand what was wrong with her, only that Ren’s one look had inexplicably stirred her long–dormant heart.

She didn’t like this feeling and didn’t want to feel it again.

Melody shook her head forcefully, trying to clear her mind of those chaotic emotions, and headed toward the impatient department.

Meanwhile, Ken saw Melody walking away and was about to chase after her when be heard James’s voice behind him. “Miss Murphy What’s

wrong?

Ken paused, glancing at Melody’s retreating figure before turning to look at Janet.

Janes was frantically holding up Janet, who had fainted

Ken Towned, taking (last look in Melody’s direction before walking beside Janet.

“Mr. Swanson, Mass Murphy

Chapter 233

“To the emergency department,” Ken ordered, crouching down and gesturing for James to help lift Janet onto his hack. He then ran toward the emergency room.

James quickly followed but heard Ken instructing, “I can handle this. Go check on Melody.”

“Mass Fust” Jam

“James

was annoyed, Janet has fainted, yet Melody is perfectly healthy. Why should I check on her? be wondered.

But James didn’t dare defy Ken, Reluctantly, he agreed and went after Melody

Neither noticed the slight, cold smile on Janet’s lips as she was carried on Ken’s back.

Ken soon

arrived at the emergency department.

After examining Janet, the doctor sighed in relief. “This patient is fine, just a bit of low blood sugar. I’ll start an IV drip for her, and she’ll be fine.”

“Are you sure?” Ken asked.

Janet stirred weakly on the hospital bed, her voice hoarse. “What happened to me?”

Ken walked over and explained, “You fainted. The doctor said it’s low blood sugar. They’ll start an IV drip for you soon.

Janet nodded weakly, allowing the nurse to administer the drip. “I feel dizzy and really sleepy. Can you watch the drip for me? I’m afraid I won’t even notice when it’s done.”

Ken hesitated for a moment before nodding “Sure, you rest. I’ll keep an eye on it.”

“Okay.” Janet’s eyes briefly flashed with a hint of satisfaction before it vanished.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Melody finally found Wilmot’s hospital room, only to be blocked by two guards at the door.

“You can’t go in,” one of the bodyguards stated firmly

I’m Wilmor’s friend, here to visit him.” Melody explained.

The bodyguard impatiently responded, “Without Mr. Leo’s orders, no one gets in.”

Melody’s eyes darkened. “Mr. Leo

The bodyguards didn’t respond verbally, but their silence confirmed it.

Melody’s gaze nurned icy.

She hadn’t expected Leo to station bodyguards here. It was practically imprisonment,

It was clear that Wilmot must be in a dire situation inside

Melody narrowed her eyes coldly. “What if I insist on going in!

The bodyguards exchanged a glance, then looked Melody up and down, their tone turning hostile and disdainful as they warned. “If you insist on forcing your way in, we won’t hesitate to put you in that hospital bed too,”

was a clear threat.

Melody clenched her fists instantly, a cold smirk curling her lips. “Why don’t you give it a try?”

The bodyguard sneered. Ugly woman, do you really want us to throw you out by force?”

the point of wasting words on this hag! Don’t you feel disgusted?” Another bodyguard took a sip, reaching out to grab Melody’s collar However, just as the bodyguard was about to touch Melody’s collar, Melody delivered a swift punch to the man’s chest.

In the next moment, the bodyguard’s large frame instantly hunched over, slowly collapsing against the wall, clutching his chest in pain and unable

to make a sound.

Melody rotated her fist, looking at the other bodyguard who was in shock, and said coldly, I’ve been working out a lot lately, and I’ve regained some of my skills. It’s just the right time to practice on you so. I don’t bully you. You go first.”

The bodyguard was still in shock.

This partner was actually knocked down by a seemingly weak girl with one punch.

I must be dreaming!” he wondered.

He finally snapped out of his shock and angrily threw a punch at Melody, shouting, “Hag, you’re asking for it!”
