Chapter 1123
Melody Fox frowned and finally got up to help Bao Chanjuan up from the ground.
“Auntie Bao, get up and talk first. You don’t have to be so polite to me.”
Bao Chanjuan also stood up, but she was still pleading.
“Melody, I’m begging you, please let her off this time. Xiaohui isn’t a bad person. She probably followed you purely out of curiosity and no other ill intentions! Moreover, she won’t follow you again next time. She’s learned her lesson this time. She’ll definitely learn her lesson.”
“Looks like you’ve already met Bai Hui, Aunt Bao”
Bao Chanjuan nodded.
“I didn’t see Xiaohui. Someone from the police station told me about the situation. As soon as I came out of the police station, I came straight here. I just didn’t expect her to be following you…”
Melody Fox said calmly, “She should be glad that I’m the one she’s following. If it were any other rich lady, I’m afraid she would have broken her legs.”
Bao Chanjuan’s back stiffened as she pleaded again, “Melody, you’re born with a good personality and kindness. Can you let her out? She has a dream of becoming a celebrity. If she carries such a stain, I’m afraid she won’t be able to pursue this dream anymore.”
“She wants to be a star?”
“Well…”
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows.
“The entertainment industry is a big dye vat. It’s not suitable for someone like Bai Hui. If you really want what’s best for her, make her give up on this dream.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll definitely tell her. But can you let her out first?”
“She’ll be released after five days. But don’t worry, on account that you’ve helped me a few times, I’ll ask Director Lin not to record it for her. But these five days must be closed. If it’s not closed… I’m afraid she won’t remember. I’m doing this for her own good. I hope Auntie Bao can understand.”
Bao Chanjuan lowered her head in thought.
It was not impossible to suffer for five days.
“Alright!” Bao Chanjuan gritted her teeth and said, “Thank you, Melody. When she comes out, I will definitely teach her a good lesson.”
“Yeah.”
Bao Chanjuan wanted to ask more, but she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
Her face was slightly pale as she hurriedly bade farewell. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll talk to Xiaohui properly.”
“Alright, take care. But let me tell you one last time. There will never be a next time. It’s useless for you to beg me next time.”
“Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be a next time.”
Melody Fox nodded and asked Spencer to send him off.
Looking at Bao Chanjuan’s anxious back, Melody Fox had already guessed the reason.
No wonder it was Bai Hui who came to make breakfast today. It turned out that she had drugged Bao Chanjuan.
If he could do this to his own mother, how could he do this to others?
She only hoped that there really wouldn’t be a next time.
In this life, her hands were already stained with too much blood. If she didn’t want it, she didn’t want to see blood again.
However, after what Bao Chanjuan did, Melody Fox lost his appetite and went straight to the kitchen.
The medicinal cuisine was just right.
Today, she cooked a steamed pigeon for Orek with herbs, which was very beneficial for his heart and postoperative recovery.
Logically speaking, the taste of medicinal cuisine would not be too good.
However, Melody Fox’s culinary skills were more than enough to handle medicinal cuisine.
As soon as the steamer was opened, a mouth-watering fragrance wafted out. Even Spencer subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
When Melody Fox saw Spencer’s reaction, he smiled lightly and said, “Don’t be greedy. This is for the patient. I’ve also made one for you. Go to the kitchen and eat. After you’re done, send it to Mr. Orrick.”
Spencer’s eyes lit up.
However, he quickly calmed down and asked, “I’ll send it over… Aren’t you going?”
“I’m not going. I’m just going to deliver a meal. I don’t need to deliver it myself.”
“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll have a meal in Fox rooms in three minutes.”
“There’s no hurry. It’s only eleven o’clock. Take your time.”
“Good!”
Although Spencer agreed, he came out of the kitchen three minutes later.
There was still a grain of rice at the corner of his mouth, causing Melody Fox to chuckle.
“Wipe the corner of your mouth. I’ve already prepared Mr. Orrick’s meal. You don’t have to bring any more food.”
“…” Spencer touched the corner of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
“Alright, go ahead.”
“Okay.”
Spencer quickly left with the medicinal cuisine.
Melody Fox took a short nap in the room.
She had been taking toxins for the past few days, so she often felt sleepy.
However, not long after she fell asleep, she was woken up by the ringing of her phone.
She looked at the caller ID. It was Ken Swanson.
Melody Fox quickly pressed the answer button and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ken Swanson did not waste any time and went straight to the point.
“I just received news that Ulric Swanson went to see Ge Pingchuan from the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce.”
“He arrived at Insterimond yesterday. It’s time to visit Old Master Ge today.”
“Yes. My subordinates reported that Jennie Taylor didn’t use his real face and disguised himself as an old Maria Fox.”
“I guessed it. She doesn’t dare to show her true face. In such an occasion, if someone recognizes malicious doctors, it will be a dead end.”
Melody Fox asked, “Should we go over now?”
“There’s no need. Didn’t you say that malicious doctors’s treatment was very effective?”
“That’s right. Old Master Ge will recover like this tomorrow. However, this move is very harmful to the body. It uses all the qi and blood in the body to provide the patient with a short period of recovery. It won’t last long. When his qi and blood are exhausted and the side effects appear, his death won’t be far away.'”
“Then is there any way to cause Old Master Ge to have side effects in advance?”
“I do, but I need a lot of herbs.”
“Can you finish it tomorrow?”
Melody Fox calculated Fox rooms and said, “Sure.”
“That’s good. Tomorrow, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce will have a summer cocktail party. This is the usual practice of the Jingbei
Chamber of Commerce. I’ll go with you at Fox.”
“Alright, no problem. I’ll go buy the herbs now.”
“Yes. I should be able to finish my work and come back in three more hours. I can help you when I reach Fox.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “You don’t know anything about
medicine, so don’t be a hindrance to me. Go do your things first. I’m preparing to go out too.”
“Okay. I’ll get them to arrange a car for you.”
“Yeah.”
After the call ended, Melody Fox did not delay any longer. He changed out of the home clothes that Fox had put on and prepared to go out.
However, when she unintentionally looked up in front of the mirror, she saw that most of the red spots on her face had already faded.
The swelling on her face caused by the poison had also subsided a lot.
The Green Velvet medicine was high-grade. The speed of detoxification was faster than she had expected.
After hesitating for a moment, Melody Fox picked up the makeup by the sink and slowly drew back the red spots.
However, the swelling on her face could not be covered by makeup.
However, after the red dot was drawn back, there was not much of a difference even if one did not look carefully.
For the time being, Fox could only do this.
After a few days, she would give Ken Swanson a huge surprise.
