Chapter 1221

When Old Mr. Tong heard this, the stone in his heart was slightly relieved.

However, he quickly revealed a sorrowful and angry expression.

“I really didn’t expect that I was sick because of that unfilial son of mine. No wonder he stopped you from saving me. From the beginning, he wanted my life. Why would he want me to come back to life? He and Ci Gaoyang are simply jackals of the same tribe! I’m starting to wonder if the two of them are biological brothers.”

When he thought of all the truth he learned from Qizhen last night, Old Mr. Tong was so angry that his entire body trembled.

However, something like Tong Li had happened today. He was certain that some people were born bad.

“I must have done a lot of evil in my previous life to have such a son and such a thing to happen!”

Melody Fox shook his head. “Elder Tong, it’s not your fault. You can’t think that way. Otherwise, you’ll live in the shadow of Tong Jiaxuan for the rest of your life. Actually, my family’s situation isn’t too good either. In the past, I was the same as you. I always found the reason for myself. Even if I can’t find the reason, I feel that I didn’t do well.”

As she spoke, she looked at Ken Swanson and said, “But later on, I found out that the ones who were wrong were the ones who made mistakes, not us who were persecuted. The ones who were wrong were them, not us. Moreover, you still have Tong Qizhen and Tong Li… These people are sincerely good to you. They love you and respect you, so I hope that you won’t blame yourself.”

Old Mr. Tong burst into tears after hearing Melody Fox’s words.

He forced a smile and nodded. “You’re right. I can’t blame myself.”

“Yeah.”

“Then I’ll leave this matter to you and Mr. Swanson! After everything is over, I’ll definitely visit, and thank you!”

“You’re too kind. The mastermind behind this matter is also involved with us. Even without your matter, we will investigate to the end.”

Old Mr. Tong knew that the Swanson family’s situation was complicated, but he was smart enough not to ask much. He only said, “You’re leaving Jinxiu Town today, right? Have a safe trip. You’ll be rewarded.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

“Alright, then I won’t delay your flight. Go quickly.”

“Okay. Goodbye.”

“Good-bye.”

After saying goodbye to Old Mr. Tong, the car finally started and headed to the airport.

“I’m finally going back to Silverlake…” Melody Fox sighed. “We have only been here for less than half a month. It feels like I’ve been away for a long time.”

Ken Swanson smiled and said, “Maybe it’s because too many things happened when we left, so it feels like a long time has passed.”

“I think so…”

As Melody Fox spoke, he subconsciously tightened his grip on Ken Swanson’s hand.

She was a little nervous.

She did not know if it was because she was homesick, because… she was about to wipe off the red spots on her face and reveal her true appearance, or because she was about to tell Ken Swanson the truth that she had been reborn.

“What happened?”

Ken Swanson could feel Melody Fox’s emotions fluctuating. He could not help but ask with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Before Melody Fox could reply, Ken Swanson had already instructed Aaron Berg, “Drive steadily.”

“Yes…”

“No, no,” Melody Fox quickly said, “I’m not feeling unwell. It’s just that… I’m not used to going back all of a sudden. I’m a little nervous.”

Ken Swanson reached out and touched her forehead. He

was relieved when he saw that she was indeed not feeling uncomfortable.

He laughed. “I’ve never seen you so nervous before. What the hell are you nervous about?”

“Nothing… I can’t explain it clearly.”

“Alright. If you can’t explain it clearly, then I won’t say anything. Take a nap. It’s still forty minutes to the airport.” “Yeah.”

Melody Fox rested her head on Ken Swanson’s shoulder. She did not know if it was because she had been quietly eating Dr. Baxter77585 recently, but sleepiness quickly overwhelmed her, and she fell asleep in the car.

Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox’s sleeping face and felt a little heartache.

He remembered that she used to sleep very lightly and did not sleep so much.

Now that she was sleeping so soundly, how tired must she be?

As a man, he should let the woman he loves the most, the only one he loves, live a carefree life.

But now, not to mention being carefree, she still needed to do a lot of things. She had to run around everywhere. No, Fox even had to risk her life.

As a husband, he felt like a failure.

He could not help but caress Melody Fox’s face lovingly.

However, after touching it twice, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His hand seemed to be stained with something.

Ken Swanson looked at his finger in confusion. He saw that it was stained with something red, similar to dye.

‘What happened?’

Why did Melody Fox’s face turn pale?

Just as Ken Swanson was about to take a closer look at Melody Fox’s face, the car suddenly stopped.

The brake caused Ken Swanson to fall forward due to inertia. Melody woke up instantly.

When Ken Swanson saw that Melody Fox had been woken up, he frowned unhappily and asked Aaron Berg, who was driving, “What happened?”

Aaron Berg replied, “A car stopped us in front of our car…” Ken Swanson looked up and saw a black MPV blocking their way.

The three people in the car immediately became vigilant. The next second, the door on the driver’s seat of the car opened.

A familiar person walked out of the car. Melody Fox’s eyes widened. “Seventeen?”

Seventeen quickly got out of the car and ran over.

As expected, it was Death Warrior, Seventeen who had been left behind by Ken Swanson to look at Sid Quant.

Seventeen also followed Melody Fox before Spencer, so Melody Fox felt very close to him.

The three of them relaxed their tense nerves.

Seventeen stopped outside Ken Swanson’s car window.

Ken Swanson rolled down the window and said, “Shouldn’t we have arrived yesterday? Why are you only here now?” Seventeen was more honest than Spencer. He did not know how to defend himself, so he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

“I’m sorry, sir. It’s all my fault. I’m late.”

It was still Aaron Berg helping Seventeen to explain.

“Sir, Seventeen was supposed to be on yesterday’s flight, but because you notified Tailin, he didn’t get a ticket and waited at the airport until today’s morning flight before leaving. Later, he went to Maria Fox because of the information gap, so he only followed us now.”

Ken Swanson had a helicopter, but at Seventeen, he was not qualified to take a private plane directly, so he could only take a normal flight.

Ken Swanson had always been clear about rewards and punishments. After knowing that there was a reason for this, he did not continue to blame Seventeen. He only said, Then get in the car.”

“Thank you, sir.” Seventeen bowed and threw the car keys to the local Swanson Group. He then exchanged seats

with Aaron Berg and sat in the driver’s seat.

Melody Fox asked, “How’s Sid Quant doing? Are you still resting obediently? You didn’t wander around, right?”

Sid Quant’s injuries were too serious. His physical condition had not completely recovered. When he completely recovered, he would need at least half a year to completely heal.

Therefore, he definitely could not tire himself out in the next six months.

This was also why Melody Fox and Ken Swanson placed Seventeen beside Sid Quant.
