Chapter 286

Seeing that Melody had already left with the dog, Mabel grabbed Yolanda’s sleeve in fear.

Yolanda was the first to speak before Russell lost his temper. “don’t worry. Even if something happens to the dog, you don’t need to be concerned. It’s just an animal. As long as Mabel sheds a few tears in front of Ulric, do you think that Cadence would dare to come looking for trouble over a dog?”

Russell grumbled darkly, “There wouldn’t have been any problem to begin with if someone hadn’t stirred things up!”

Yolanda quickly tried to persuade him nicely, then deliberately said, ” Melody’s medical skills are exceptional. She even brought Margaret back from the brink of death. How could she fail to save a dog with just a fracture? Unless.”

As Yolanda spoke, she secretly gave Mabel a look.

Mabel instantly understood what Yolanda meant. Mabel used Yolanda’s words to ask, “Mom, could it be that Melody deliberately did not treat that dog because she has a problem with me?”

“I don’t think so,” Yolanda said hesitantly.

Russell frowned again.

This was not impossible.

Russell recalled how Melody had looked at him with an unfamiliar gaze just now and felt uncomfortable. He immediately said, “Prepare another car at home. I’ll go and see it with my own eyes!”

“Yes!” The butler quickly responded and went to prepare.

Russell hurriedly left the Fox family.

Mabel quickly asked, “Mom, will that dog be alright?”

Yolanda snorted and said, “Regardless of whether it survives or not, we’ve planted a seed of doubt in your father’s mind. If the dog survives, all will be well. If not, your father will blame that wretched girl for deliberately neglecting it. At worst, you can turn to Ulric.”

The mention of Ulric made Mabel feel a little empty and uneasy.

Yolanda had already convinced herself that Ulric was infatuated with Mabel, but something didn’t sit right.

The number of men who liked Mabel could go from the Fox family to Epoch Square. Mabel was usually very sure if the other party liked her.

But when it came to Ulric, the certainty was gone.

Mabel bit her lip in regret and decided to set up a time to meet Ulric and show him her true charm.

Yolanda did not notice Mabel’s strange expression and said to the butler, “You, call Hattie to the living room. Don’t let her know that I’m looking for her, and don’t let Mrs. Fox know either.”

“Yes.” The butler, who had just sent off Russell, responded and went to arrange Hattie’s matters.

Mabel’s eyes lit up Hattie away?” and asked, “Mom, are you going to take

Yolanda glanced at Mabel and smiled. “You’re making progress. With all the commotion today, Mrs. Fox still hasn’t even come out. It might be because of medication issues, and her health is declining. But Hattie isn’t a pushover. This is a perfect opportunity for us to get rid of her.”

Mabel nodded repeatedly.

Everyone who stood on Melody’s side hoped to disappear from this world immediately.

“Let’s go. We’ll wait in the living room. No one from Mrs. Fox’s side can enter the living room.” said Yolanda.

“Good!” Mabel agreed eagerly.

On the other side.

At Herbathrive.

By the time Melody arrived at Herbathrive, Colin had already left on the earliest cruise to Melody’s hometown.

David was there today. When he saw Melody carrying a bloody dog in, he quickly went forward to ask about the situation.

“What’s going on? Is it a beaten stray dog?” David asked.

“It’s my pet. Something happened.” Melody replied simply and asked, “Is the operating room available? It has internal injuries and needs immediate surgery.”

“It’s available. There are very few patients who come to our surgery. I’ll get them to disinfect the operating room now.” said David.

“Okay,” Melody replied.

As soon as Melody finished speaking, Russell’s voice sounded from behind.

“Why did you bring this little darling to the traditional medicine clinic? Shouldn’t he be sent to the veterinary hospital?” Russell asked.

When Melody heard the word “little darling”, she almost threw up her overnight dinner.

Melody endured her discomfort and said, “Lucky’s injuries are too serious and ordinary veterinary hospitals can’t treat it. The operating room here is very complete. Moreover, the owner of the medical clinic is my friend and he is willing to provide an operating room for Lucky.”

“Your friend? When did you become friends with the owner of a medicine clinic?” Russell asked.

Russell was instantly displeased.

Previously, Russell felt that Melody was easy to manipulate, but now, he always felt that this daughter of his was unpredictable and even made him panic often.

This made Russell, who was extremely controlling, feel very displeased.

Melody succinctly replied, “Because I often come here to pick up medicine for Grandma so I gradually became familiar with the people here.”

Only then did Russell stop asking. He put his hands behind his back and said, “In that case, hurry up and operate on it. Yolanda said it looks serious, but it’s actually just superficial wounds. I can tell you that don’t think about any crooked ideas. If something really happens to it, you and your sister will be responsible. It’s because you didn’t manage it properly that it scared people.”

“Superficial wounds? Crooked ideas?” Melody sneered. “Rest assured, even if I have any crooked ideas, I won’t joke with my life.”

With that, she walked straight to the operating room.

Russell became even more displeased.

“Melody, come back here! How can you talk to me like that? You’re getting more and more out of hand!” Russell said that out in displeased.

Melody ignored Russell’s words and instructed David to close the operating room door. Out of sight, out of mind.

David who came in with her, could not help but ask, “Miss Fox, was that your dad?”

“Yes.” Although she didn’t want to admit it, it was the truth.

“But why do I feel like.” David stammered, “He’s not your biological father?”

Melody frowned. As she shaved Lucky’s fur, she asked, “What do you mean?”

David mustered his courage and said, “First of all, you don’t look at all like your dad. Second, that temperament, that personality there’s no resemblance at all. Besides, would a dad talk like that to his daughter?”

Melody took a deep breath and said, “I look like my mother. Although I’ve never seen her before, I’ve found out a lot of information about her. My personality is exactly the same as my mother’s.”

My mother was so innocent that she had fallen in love with the wrong person.

Even the outcome was the same. She died at the hands of a third party.

However, David did not think so. He suggested, “Do you want to do a paternity test sometime?”

Melody looked up at David unhappily.

“Don’t say such things in the future. My father is indeed the kind of person who flirts with women, but my mother is not.” Melody said.

“Alright, I spoke too much.” David also felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he reached out and gently slapped himself.

Seeing this, Melody said impatiently, “Stop acting. I don’t blame you. I also often suspect that I am not a biological child, but this is a fact, there is no need to do any identification.”

As soon as Melody finished speaking, the heart rate monitor suddenly showed that Lucky’s heart rate had plummeted.
