Chapter 1270
Melody Fox thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
“Do you know the date of the assessment?”
Melody Fox thought about it and called Ander Morgan to confirm the assessment date.
“It’s set for two days later, at one o’clock in the afternoon. The assessment venue is in my laboratory at Silverlake.” Ander Morgan accurately named Fox. Then, he asked, ” What’s wrong, Melody? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
Melody Fox looked at Ken Swanson. When he saw Ken Swanson shaking his head, he did not tell the truth. He only said, “I was just asking casually. Of course, I actually wanted to join in the fun.”
“Are you willing to come over?”
“Yes. Didn’t you mention your project to me before?”
“Yes, I did mention it. I’m going to a cave for research. I need your help if you want.”
“I do.”
“That’s great,” Ander Morgan said happily. “Then, shall I arrange a position for you now? You can come over as an examiner when the assessment is at Fox.”
“Okay.”
“Alright, I’ll try my best to complete the process for you tomorrow. I’ll still need you to come over and sign and fill out a form at Fox.”
“No problem.”
“Alright, I’ll contact you tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
“Then why don’t you just have dinner at home tomorrow? Your godmother and your brother are always talking about you.”
“Sure.”
“It’s settled then? Come over for lunch tomorrow.”
“Alright, see me at Fox. I hope you won’t be too surprised.”
“Huh? Why am I surprised?”
Melody Fox said in a riddle, “You’ll know when you see spaghetti.”
“Haha, you’re still keeping me in suspense. Alright, see you at noon tomorrow.”
“Okay, I won’t disturb you anymore.” Melody Fox hung up the phone. Seeing that Ken Swanson4spaghetti was puzzled, he explained to him that half a month ago, Ander Morgan had invited her to be a doctor in the laboratory. Their main job was to go to the cave together with the Fox people they sent to be team doctors and laboratory technicians.
“Is it dangerous?” Ken Swanson asked.
Melody Fox shook his head. “I don’t know yet, Fox, but I heard that the previous batches of experimenters who entered the cave… are all sick. It’s a strange illness that we can’t find the cause of.”
Ken Swanson immediately frowned, but he quickly frowned again and said, “Then ask your godfather tomorrow if he can add me to the list by Fox. I can be… be…”
“Then you’ll be my assistant.”
“Don’t you think I’m holding you back?”
Melody Fox shrugged.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. If I don’t agree, you’ll definitely be worried about me going.”
Ken Swanson could not help but laugh. “Are you a roundworm in my stomach?”
“Something like that!”
The smile on Ken Swanson’s face deepened.
“In that case, you have to bring me along when we reach Fox. Otherwise, I’ll really be worried about you going. Even if we die, we have to die together.”
“Don’t say such unlucky things. We’ll be fine, you or me.”
“Yes, I believe in your ability. You definitely won’t repeat the mistakes of those experimental personnel.”
As they chatted, Melody Fox’s appetite recovered and he quickly finished the entire bowl of rice.
Hence, she had no choice but to mention her secret.
“Ken Swanson.”
“Yes?”
“Do you believe in rebirth?”
Ken Swanson snorted and said, “Rebirth? Isn’t this something that happens in television dramas?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ken Swanson’s heart suddenly sank, and his heart beat strangely faster.
He suddenly looked at Melody Fox. Various possibilities had already appeared in his mind, and he automatically thought of a strange but very real dream he had previously dreamed.
At the same time, the smile on his face froze.
“You…”
“That’s right.” Melody Fox noticed the expression on Ken Swanson’s face and knew that he had guessed what he was going to say. He nodded and said, “I’m someone who has been reborn.”
Silence.
There was dead silence.
The air seemed to have stopped circulating, turning from gas to solid.
The window of the private room faced the street view of spaghetti. Because the private room was too quiet, the roar of the car and the voices of the pedestrians became extremely clear.
Melody Fox looked straight at Ken Swanson.
She knew that what she had just said was like a bombshell. Ken Swanson would definitely need some time to recover.
She didn’t say anything and waited for Ken Swanson to speak first.
Because Ken Swanson must have a lot of questions for him.
However, although her expression seemed calm, the
strings in her heart were tense, like a bow being pulled to the maximum.
After a while… as if a century had passed, Ken Swanson opened his mouth and asked his first question.
“Are you… reborn because your life is in danger?”
“Yes. To be precise, in my previous life… I was actually already dead. When I woke up, I realized that I had returned three years ago, the day I was about to return to Silverlake from the countryside. That was the day I met you.” “In your previous life, did you meet me on that day too?”
Melody Fox shook his head. “No. According to the Fox rooms in my previous life, I wouldn’t have returned to that Fox cabin that day. Because it was my first time leaving the countryside, I was more excited and kept looking at the sea on the deck.”
“Then in our previous life, our relationship… were we together?”
Melody Fox shook his head. “No.”
Ken Swanson sighed as if he was very regretful.
But then, he asked a question that Melody Fox had not expected.
“Did Ulric Swanson kill you?”
Melody Fox was silent for a moment. He tried to find his voice and asked, “How did you know?”
Then, Ken Swanson said something that shocked Melody Fox even more.
“I had a dream. In the dream…”
He recounted the strange dream he had. Melody Fox’s eyes instantly widened to the point that she could no longer open them. She lost control of her emotions and said, “This dream… I’ve had this dream too!”
Ken Swanson was stunned for a moment. His gaze met hers. Then, he smiled and said, “It seems that although we weren’t together in our previous life, we’re still fated.”
“That’s right.” Melody Fox smiled bitterly and said, “It’s indeed fate.”
“Can you tell me your story with that guy?”
Melody Fox nodded. “I’m going to tell you everything today. After I’m done, no matter what your reaction is, I can bear it.” “Tell me.”
Melody Fox glanced at the window. His gaze was far away, and his voice seemed to have drifted away.
It was… a very long and short story.
After a little Fox, Melody Fox finally finished telling the story of her previous life.
Including if she helped Ulric Swanson deal with him, helping Ulric Swanson get the position of the Swanson Group’s heir.
This also included the fact that if she was in love, she would be killed by Ulric Swanson and Mabel Fox.
Ken Swanson’s hands on the dining table had already clenched into fists. He exerted so much force that the veins on his arms seemed to be about to jump out of his flesh.
