Chapter 1202
Tong Qizhen’s eyes widened in shock. It took him a while to digest what Melody Fox had said.
“You’re saying… Tong Jiaxuan is just a chess piece. The person who really wants my father’s life is someone else?” “Yeah.”
“This… Why didn’t you tell my dad and me about this?” Melody Fox glanced at Tong Qizhen speechlessly.
“Do you think you can listen to me when you’re Fox?”
Tong Qizhen covered his nose awkwardly and coughed.
He said in shame, “My father is right. My personality is indeed…”
Melody Fox patted Tong Qizhen’s shoulder and said, “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. We’ll find out who the mastermind is. What you have to do is pretend that you don’t know anything and stay here in peace.”
“But Dad…”
“I’ll also send someone to explain the matter to Old Mr. Tong. Let’s work together and put on a show for Tong Jiaxuan until we catch the big fish behind him.”
“Alright!” Tong Qizhen nodded vigorously. “I’ll listen to your arrangements!”
“En. Remember to tell Tong Li that you’re safe and tell her about your situation. Since you want to act, you need Tong Li’s cooperation.”
“I understand. Thank you, Miss Fox! Thank you, Mr.
Swanson! I, Tong Qizhen, will never forget your kindness!”
The two of them waved their hands and bade Tong Qizhen farewell.
After getting into the car, Melody Fox was about to speak when he saw Ken Swanson take out a first aid kit from the trunk.
Without another word, he took her hand and disinfected her palm.
When the iodine was applied to her palm, it felt cold. Although there was a slight pain, Melody Fox felt very at ease.
Her heart seemed to be filled with something bright and warm.
When Fox was about to reach the Fox family, Melody Fox received a thank-you message from Tong Li.
Just by looking at those words, Melody Fox could imagine Tong Li thanking her with tears in her eyes.
Birds of a feather flock together. This was indeed true. Zhang Wenwen was a very sincere girl, so her friends were all very sincere people.
Melody Fox replied with an emoji that said, “Leave it to me.” He also sent a few words to tell her not to worry too much and to study hard. Then, he put his phone away.
“We definitely won’t be able to return to Silverlake tonight,” Ken Swanson said. “Shall we stay in Silken Town tonight?”
“Mm. I’ll listen to your arrangements.”
“Then I’ll find a hotel.”
As soon as Ken Swanson finished speaking, Maria Fox called.
Melody Fox answered the call while putting the call on speaker.
“Grandma?”
“Have you found him?”
“Sort of…”
“It’s good that you found it. Room Fox is getting late. You guys can leave tomorrow. I asked Room Hattie Meyer to clean up the room. It’s all new bedding and it’s very clean.” Melody Fox thought that Maria Fox did not want them to stay overnight, but he did not expect Maria Fox to take the initiative to ask them to stay.
It seemed that Maria Fox really did not blame her from the bottom of his heart.
Tears welled up in Melody Fox’s eyes. He nodded forcefully and said, “We’ll be there in two minutes.”
“Don’t worry. Drive slowly at night.”
“Yes, yes!”
After the call ended, Melody Fox thought of what Maria Fox had said to her.
Russell Fox, he might not be her biological father.
This was something she had never thought of before coming to Silken Town.
Because of this, Melody Fox did not say anything along the way. Instead, he stared blankly out of the car window. There seemed to be a secret about her mother that she did not know.
She thought she knew her mother well enough, but it turned out that it wasn’t like that at all?
Even after washing up and lying down, Melody Fox was still in a daze.
Ken Swanson had long seen through Melody Fox’s thoughts.
However, since Melody Fox did not take the initiative to say it, he did not ask.
However, seeing that Melody Fox had always been in a low mood, he finally could not help but ask.
“Melody, what’s wrong? If, if there’s anything you can’t figure out or can’t decide, tell me. Perhaps I can help a little?”
He did not want Melody Fox to feel that he was not giving her any freedom, but seeing Melody Fox like this, he was really worried.
Melody Fox’s lips moved. He turned around and looked at Ken Swanson. “I don’t know if I should tell you now…”
Ken Swanson suddenly widened his eyes in surprise. “You’re not pregnant, are you?”
“What?!” Melody Fox punched Ken Swanson’s chest.
Ken Swanson laughed and said, “Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore. Tell me, what exactly is it that makes you sigh every two minutes?”
“Am I?”
Ken Swanson nodded. “You do.”
“Alright.” Melody Fox sighed again and said, “Don’t be too surprised if I tell you.”
“Alright, go ahead,” Ken Swanson said seriously.
Melody Fox weighed the words in his heart and finally said with difficulty, “Grandma told me that Russell Fox might not be my biological father.”
Ken Swanson’s expression froze. Then, he said with certainty, “He’s definitely not your biological father.”
“How can you be so sure…?”
“There’s nothing similar between you and Russell Fox. No matter where you look, he doesn’t look like your biological father. Moreover, do you remember that I asked you to do a paternity test with Russell Fox when we just met?”
“That seems to be the case.”
“When I was Fox, I felt that he didn’t look like your biological father at all.”
“Hmm… It’s just that I didn’t expect this possibility to be true.”
“What exactly did Maria Fox tell you?”
Melody Fox repeated Maria Fox’s words.
Ken Swanson nodded and said, “From the looks of it, this possibility is 100%.”
Melody Fox said with a complicated expression, “If this is true, my mother… is very likely using Russell Fox to give birth to me so that I can have a father. But I don’t
understand. With her identity as Fox, why can’t she give birth to me openly?”
Ken Swanson thought for a while and said, “It seems that your biological father’s identity might not be ordinary, so he can’t tolerate your mother being pregnant with his child. Or perhaps…”
“Maybe what?”
“Forget it. It’s nothing.”
“Go ahead!”
Ken Swanson could not refuse. He could only voice his guess. “Or perhaps, your biological father might be a married man.”
“…” Melody Fox fell silent.
“I’m sorry.” Ken Swanson hugged Melody Fox and said, “I don’t mean anything else, and I don’t think there’s anything bad about your mother…”
“I know, I didn’t misunderstand. Don’t worry. However, the possibility you mentioned does exist. Otherwise, why would someone like my mother marry someone like Russell Fox?”
“Indeed. Your mother is both beautiful and capable, and she’s not from an ordinary family. There’s really no need to marry Russell Fox.”
Melody Fox exhaled and said, “If my mother is really using Russell Fox, I’ll feel much better. I won’t feel sorry for my mother.”
