Chapter 1223
Melody Fox nodded in understanding.
“Go ahead. I’ll go back myself.”
“Can you really do it alone?”
“Of course, I’m not a child anymore.”
“Alright, I’ll take my leave then,” Ken Swanson said. Then, he instructed Seventeen, “Remember to ask someone to bring her luggage. You can accompany her back directly. Leave her luggage to the others.”
“Yes, take care.”
Seventeen bowed like a servant from the last century.
Melody Fox shook his head. After Ken Swanson left, he reminded Seventeen, “You don’t have to be so tense. Relax a little.”
Seventeen scratched his head awkwardly. “I’m used to it…” ‘Well, that’s up to you. Come on, let’s go back.’
It had been almost half a month since she came out. Since Ken Swanson had something to do, she could only go back and perform filial piety on Ken Swanson’s behalf and visit Margaret Swanson.
After 45 minutes, the car stopped in the parking lot of Manor the Swanson family.
As soon as Melody Fox got out of the car, he learned from the servants that a guest was looking for Margaret Swanson today. “What guest?”
Ever since Astrid Swanson passed away, Ken Swanson took the opportunity to place many of his own people in the house. This servant was one of them.
The servant said, “I don’t know her exact identity, but she seems to have just returned from overseas. Her surname is Le, and her name is Le Qing.”
“Le Qing…” Melody Fox searched his mind and quickly remembered that Le Qing was another good friend of Mabel Fox.
Since they were Mabel Fox’s friends, they were basically her enemies.
However, she had not interacted much with Le Qing in her previous life, so she did not know what kind of person Le Qing was.
However, he had to be vigilant. Before he knew why the other party was here, he could not lose his vigilance. “I got it.”
As Melody Fox spoke, he instructed Seventeen to bring the gifts for Margaret Swanson to the manor villa.
The present was bought for Margaret Swanson when Ken Swanson and she bought a present for her grandmother. Most of them were flavored snacks from Insterimond and a few clothes that she felt were suitable for Margaret Swanson.
The gift was not expensive, but it was the thought that mattered.
As soon as Melody Fox entered, he saw Le Qing.
Margaret Swanson was probably old and liked to interact with young girls. It was as if spending more time with them could dilute her youth.
No one knew what Le Qing said, but she was laughing so hard that she was rocking back and forth.
“Grandma.”
Melody Fox walked forward with Seventeen. “I’m back.”
Margaret Swanson’s eyes up lit when she saw her.
“Melody? You’re back? What happened? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Melody Fox smiled and gestured for Seventeen to place the gifts on coffee. “I wanted to give you a surprise. I brought you some gifts from Insterimond. I hope you will like them.” “I do. You bought it. Whatever it is, I like it.”
Margaret was very supportive and immediately asked Lucy Colt to open the gift.
Mother Chai smiled as she opened the gift. “Mrs. Swanson, you’re finally back. Margaret has been nagging about why you’re not back every two days. She misses you so much.” Melody Fox smiled and said, “It’s my fault. I should have come back earlier. It’s just that there were too many things to do on this trip. In addition, I went to see Grandma, so I was delayed for a few days.”
Margaret Swanson quickly asked, “You went to see her? Is she alright? Why did she go to the countryside?”
Melody Fox answered them one by one.
“Yes, Grandma is doing well. I’m going back this time mainly because I miss my friends from my hometown, so I should be back from the countryside in a while.”
Margaret Swanson sighed and said, “Don’t hide it from me. I roughly know what’s going on. It’s all because of your disappointing father! He could have married anyone, but he married a vicious woman and almost killed your grandmother!”
“Fortunately, the heavens have eyes. They allowed a vicious woman like Yolanda Fox to suffer the consequences of her own actions and die in front of us half-buried people!”
“That’s why I said that humans really can’t commit sins. The heavens are watching. It’s not that we don’t want to repay, but the retribution hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Your grandmother is completely heartbroken. That’s why she hid in the countryside.”
Melody Fox did not reply, but from the corner of his eye, noticed that Le Qing’s expression had changed slightly, as if she did not agree with Margaret Swanson’s words.
Melody Fox immediately confirmed that Le Qing was on Mabel Fox’s side.
It seemed that she did not remember wrongly. Le Qing was the same as Pamela Clark. They were both from Mabel Fox’s circle.
Melody Fox waited for Margaret Swanson to ramble on. She deliberately revealed a surprised expression and said, “I didn’t notice just now… This is?”
Margaret Swanson slapped her thigh.
“Look at my brain. I forgot to introduce her to you. This is Le Qing from the Le Corporation. Our family has a good relationship with the Le Family. This is the only daughter of the Le Family. Before she went overseas, she often came to the manor to play. She has been visiting me almost every day for the past two days.”
Melody Fox smiled and extended his hand to Le Qing.” Hello, Miss Le. My name is Melody Fox. Thank you for accompanying Grandma.”
“Hello, just call me by my name. You don’t have to call me Miss Fox.”
“Then I’ll call you Le Qing. You can call me Melody.”
“Sister Melody.” Le Qing smiled brightly as if she liked Melody Fox very much.
Melody Fox smiled again. The two of them shook hands gently and separated.
Margaret Swanson smiled and introduced her to Le Qing. “This is my eldest granddaughter-in-law, your brother Ken’s wife. She cured my illness. If it weren’t for her, you probably wouldn’t be able to see me anymore.”
“So this is the granddaughter-in-law you’re so eager to praise. Sister Melody, thank you for curing Margaret Swanson’s illness. I didn’t expect you to be so good at medicine at such a young age. If there’s a chance, let’s meet often in the future. I’ve been studying abroad for a few years, and my old friends are distant. I was just worried that no one would play with me.”
“Alright.” Melody Fox nodded with a smile. The atmosphere between the two seemed to be extremely harmonious. Margaret Swanson was very happy that they could chat together. She said, “Le Qing, bring Melody along to play. She hasn’t been in Silverlake for long and doesn’t have many friends. With you to play with her and bring her to make more friends, I can rest assured. Otherwise, she will be bored if she keeps accompanying an old woman like me.”
“I’m not bored with you, Grandma.”
Margaret Swanson said happily, “I know, but you’re a young man.
You don’t have to circle around an old lady like me who’s half-buried. It’s better to play with people of the same age as you. I watched Le Qing grow up. I trust her character.” Melody Fox smiled and she agreed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you as long as Le Qing doesn’t mind.”
“Of course, I don’t mind!” Le Qing hugged Melody Fox’s arm affectionately and said, “To be able to be friends with the miracle doctor’s sister, I’ll wake up laughing even in my dreams!”
Melody Fox smiled. “You flatter me.”
“Oh, right,” Le Qing suddenly said.
