Chapter 232
Around the corner, Melody bit her lip, her entire being exuding a chilling rityContent (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
It turned out that Wilmer wasn’t sick from stress but had been poisoned by Leo!
Damn it the cursed inwardly.
Melody took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
After a few deep breaths, she <b>didn’t </b><b>rush </b>to see Wilmot, Instead, she turned and headed to the backuph.
This backupb was clearly abandoned for a long time, with a thickyer of dust covering the benches
She nced around the room, confirming that although it was small and the equipment outdated, most of what <b>she </b>needed was there. She just had to bring in a few more items and her own materials to start working.
After inspecting the backupb, Melody stepped out and ran into Tint
<b>Tim </b>put on that phony smile again and asked, pretending to care, “Miss Fox, can the backupb be used?”
Without revealing any emotion. Melody replied. “I checked, and a lot of things are <b>missing</b>”
Tim clicked his tongue and said. “That’s a problem. We need to prioritize our mainb’s equipment. I’m afraid I can’t help you here.”
“Don’t worry, I said I wouldn’t disrupt your progress. I’ll go out and buy the necessary <b>items </b>myself. No need for you to worry”
“Is that so… Well, <b>that’s </b>very considerate of <b>you</b>
<b>Melody </b>was already fed up but maintained a polite smile. “No problem, <b>it’s </b><b>what </b>I should do. After all, I made a bet with Silk Beauty Cosmetics on an impulse
Tim sneered inwardly. At least you know your <b>ce</b>!
Not wanting to waste more time with <b>Tim</b>, Melody said, 111 go get the supplies now. See youter.”
With that, she swiftly left, leaving only her back to Tim,
Tim let out <b>a </b>cold snort. “Go ahead, and buy as much equipment as you want. Icy Clear Cosmetics is finished, and you’re just a fool rushing to help.”
Tim mocked,pletely forgetting Leo’s instructions to keep a close eye on Melody. With his hands <b>behind </b>his back, he leisurely <b>strolled </b><b>into </b>the mainb without sparing another nce at Melody.
<b>Initially </b>worried that Tim would follow her, Melody felt relieved when she saw he didn’t take her seriously. After heading downstairs, she immediately called Wilmot
The phone rang twice before a strange voice answered.
“Hello? Are you a friend of the patient? The patient just fell asleep. Please call backter.
Seeing the person on the other end about to hang up, Melody quickly asked which hospital Wilmot was in
After getting the address and room number, Melody <b>rushed </b>to Central Hospital by taxi.
On the other side, in a hotel suite, J <b>woke </b>up from a satisfying sleep. The first thing she did was look for Ken, who had slept beside her.
However, the bed was empty, and she panicked, fearing that all her efforts to keep him <b>had </b>failed.
J hurriedly got out of bed and searched the suite. She finally found Ken in another room.
Seeing him still there, she felt <b>a </b>wave of relief <b>and </b>a happy smile spread across her face.
She wished this moment could <bst </b>forever
Just then, Ken’s eyshes fluttered.
<b>J’s </b>heart skipped a beat. She quietly slipped back to the bedroom and pretended to be asleep.
When Ken
a got up to wash up and entered from the doorway, she feigned a splitting headache, struggling to sit up in bed, and asked in surprise, “Ern? What are you doing here!”

<b>“</b><b>You </b>got drunkst <b>night</b>. James and I <b>brought </b>you back from Leit Bar,” Ken replied sinctly,ing to her bedside and <b>asking</b>, “Are you still feeling unwell!”
“My head hurts.” Janri frowned in pain. “It feels like <b>it’s </b>going to explode.
Not wanting to part from Ken just yet, she hesitated before weakly asking, “I feel terrible. <b>Can </b>you take me to the hospital?”
Ken hesitated <b>for </b><b>a </b>moment but eventually nodded. “Alright, <b>Freshen </b>up first. I’ll wait for you downstairs”
“Okay” J gave a weak <b>smile </b><b>and </b>struggled to get up <b>from </b>the floor.
“Need any help?<b>”</b>
“No. I can manage.<b>”</b>
As <b>soon </b><b>as </b>she <b>finished </b>speaking, she stumbled and fell forward.
Ken reacted quickly, catching her. J leaned <b>into </b>his arms, inhaling his unique, crisp sandalwood scent
J greedily took a deep breath, trying hard to imprint <b>that </b>scent into her memory.
But in the next moment, Ken stepped back, and the sandalwood scent instantly faded from her reach
Ken steadied her with one hand and called James, <b>who </b>was waiting outside.
“She’s not feeling well. Get a female attendant to help. Ken instructed
J bit her lip, a hint of frustration and difort showing in her <b>eyes</b>.
He couldn’t ept her closeness.
J tightened her grip on her hands. “I’m fine, no need to call anyone. I <b>can </b>manage on my own
Ken frowned slightly. “Il call a female attendant to <b>assist </b>you with washing up, so <b>you </b>won’t fall again”
“Really, there’s <b>no </b>need. I just had a bit too much to drink. It’s <b>nothing </b>serious. It would be too much trouble to call someone over, and they might think I’m being dramatic<b>.</b>”
“No one would think you’re being <b>dramatic</b>” Ken didn’t say more, leaving her in the bed before leaving the suite
Watching Ken’s retreating figure, J felt a sense of loneliness in her eyes.
She was fine, really. She just appreciated Ken’s concern <b>for </b>her.
But obviously. Ken was only caring for her as a <b>friend</b>.
Yet that was enough to make her feel happy.
J wasn’t greedy. She didn’t expect Ken to fall for her right away, only hoping he would gradually realize that she was the mostpatible person with him in the world.
As for Melody… J <b>had </b>been too impatient, almost losing everything.
But now she hade to her senses. No matter how Melody struggled, Ken’s feelings for her would <b>surely </b>remain those of a friend.
If J constantly targeted <b>Melody</b>, she would only make Ken protect her more, thus alienating her.
J could not go back to the way she was before. She had to calm down, and then find the best time to strike back.
Soon, J was taken care of by the female attendant and was able to <b>finish </b>her wash.
When she went downstairs, she found Ken had thoughtfully prepared breakfast for her.
It consisted of light fare, obviously what Ken had ordered specifically for her
J ate contentedly and then left, taking a seat in Ken’s <b>car</b>.
“Mr. Swanson, which hospital?” James asked from the driver’s seat, turning his head.
Ken thought for a moment and said, “Central Hospital”
On the way, James couldn’t help butment, “Miss Murphy. Mr. Swanson mentioned that once you’ve recovered, you should return to work. Theunch of the new product depends on you. You should avoid ces like bars in the future.

Hearing this. J feigned surprise and looked at Ken<b>, </b>asking. “Ken, really? You’re not sending me away?”
“Yes.” Ken nodded slightly.
“Thank you. Ken!” J expressed her gratitude excitedly, then lowered her gaze and said, “What I did to Miss Fox was wrong, and I deeply regret it. I promise I won’t do anything like that <b>again</b>.”
Her exnation was filled with remorse.
Ken responded, “It’s good <b>that </b>you realize your mistake. Melody isn’t a bad person. I hope you two can get along well <b>in </b>the future.”
<b>J </b>clenched her fists secretly but cheerfully agreed. “Yes, I will get along with her.”
About twenty minutester, J got out of the car and immediately saw a familiar figure stepping out of a taxi in front of them.
Isn’t that Melody?’ she wondered
