Chapter 331
When the doctor said this, Janet’s eyes lit up. ‘I knew it! Ken is allergic. How could allergies be cured by eating pasta?”
Janet quickly asked, “Doctor, what’s wrong with him?”
“His gastrointestinal tract is inflamed.” The doctor pointed to a report. “This is the one. You can see the shadow in this one.”
“Is there inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract?” Janet was stunned. She felt that this sentence sounded familiar.
The doctor continued, “Yes, there’s inflammation in the digestive tract, and this inflammation is the reason why you’re allergic to seafood. Mr. Swanson, as long as you treat this inflammation, you won’t be allergic to seafood in the future.”
Janet suddenly clenched her fists.
These words were almost exactly the same as what Melody had said!
“However…” The doctor took out another report and said, “I’ve brought up your previous medical report. After comparing the two, I found that your inflammation is slightly better than before, but it’s not very obvious. Are you treating the inflammation?”
Ken instantly remembered Melody’s words and an unknown light flashed past his eyes.
He inclined his head slightly. “I suppose so.”
The doctor asked, “When did the treatment start?”
Ken replied, “Today.”
The doctor asked again, “What medicine?”
“Pasta,” said Ken.
“Huh?” The doctor looked startled.
Ken added, “Nutritional replenishment through food.”
The doctor nodded. “I understand. Since it’s so effective, I won’t prescribe you any medicine for now. Continue to take food supplements first and come back for a follow-up in a week. If the improvement isn’t obvious, I’ll prescribe you some medicine. Pills have great side effects. If you can take food supplements, take them first.”
Ken replied, “Understood. Thank you.”
“This is what I should do,” the doctor hurriedly said in fear.
Ken nodded slightly and stood up to look at Sid and Janet. “Did you hear what the doctor said?”
Janet said, “Yeah…”
“I heard it.” Sid was not stingy with his praise at all. “I didn’t expect Melody to actually have some skills! No wonder she could cure Margaret. At first, Janet and I thought that she was lucky and happened to use the right medicine. Now, it seems that she really has some skills.”
Janet forced a smile and agreed.
But the hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms, but she felt no pain. She felt her cheeks burning as if she’d been slapped.
How could she have thought that not only was Ken not allergic to the pasta made by Melody, but the inflammation in his intestines had also improved after eating them?
Janet regretted it. ‘If I had known earlier, I would not have mentioned Ken’s allergy.
She timidly raised her head and glanced at Ken. As expected, she saw the obvious displeasure in his eyes.
Her back stiffened. She felt even more regretful and hated Melody more.
It seemed that she had to think of a more effective way.
As for where to start… Janet shifted her eyes and looked at Sid.
The corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly as an idea gradually became clear in her mind.
The three of them said goodbye to the doctor and walked out.
After Sid found out that Melody’s pasta was fine, he wanted to go back and eat it.
“Let’s go. Since you’re fine, let’s hurry back and eat the pasta! Fortunately, the weather is hot, and the pasta won’t cool easily. However, if we’re any slower, the pasta might turn cold later!” As Sid said this, he was about to get into the car.
However, just as his head entered the car, he was mercilessly pulled out by Ken.
“Hey, Ken, what are you doing?” Sid asked in confusion, a hint of complaint in his tone.
Ken glanced at Sid coldly and said, “Find a place to eat.”
“Why?” Sid asked indignantly.
Ken gave him a cold look. “What do you think?”
Sid knew that he was in the wrong and coughed awkwardly.
Indeed, if he and Janet had not insisted on bringing Ken to the hospital, everyone would have had their fill by now.
Ken ignored Sid, got into the car, and drove away.
Seeing that he couldn’t have the pasta anymore, Sid could not help but complain to Janet.
He had always been a straightforward person. Whatever he was thinking, he would say it out loud. “Jane, why do I feel that you’ve become even rasher than me after coming back to the country? Melody already said that the pasta wouldn’t be allergic, and Ken indeed didn’t have any allergic symptoms. Why did you have to come to the hospital?”
Sid paused for a moment and asked directly, “Do you treat Melody as your love rival?”
Janet was most unable to deal with people like Sid who were extremely frank.
Being exposed, she felt rather uncomfortable.
Sid continued, “That’s not right. Everyone knows that you like Ken, but you can’t treat all the females around Ken as love rivals.”
Janet frowned unhappily. “When did I treat all the women around Ken as love rivals?”
Sid blurted out, “Back then, Melody almost got together with Ken. Wasn’t it because of you…
Sid stopped mid-sentence. “Forget it. Forget I said anything.”
“Wait!” Janet asked innocently, “You think I was the one who tampered with Melody’s accident? Sid, is that what you think of me?”
“I… Sid clenched his fists and said. “Then why did Melody transfer schools not long after you transferred to our major and we hadn’t heard from her since?”
“How would I know?” Janet raised her voice. Her eyes were red.
However, what Sid didn’t notice was that she clenched her fists guiltily.
Sid could not help but wonder if he had misunderstood Janet.
He was silent for two seconds before saying apologetically, “I’m sorry. I was preconceived and misunderstood you.”
Janet took a deep breath and said, “It’s true that I like Ken, but compared to getting him, I want him to be happy. Didn’t you feel that I don’t like Melody? Alright, I’ll tell you directly that I do hate her. But I hate her not because I treat her as a love rival, but because she played tricks and forced Ken to marry her!”
“W-What?” Sid’s eyes widened. “Did you say they are married?”
“That’s right!” Janet gritted her teeth and said righteously, “Why do you think she wanted to treat Margaret? She told Margaret that after Margaret was cured, Ken must marry her. Now they have registered their marriage. They just haven’t announced it to the public.”
“How, how is this possible?” Sid couldn’t believe his ears.
Janet directly said, “If you don’t believe me, find your own connections to investigate their marriage status!”
Sid looked at Janet’s eyes and saw that she was serious and did not seem to have any clues. He finally digested this news.
At the same time, his affection for Melody plummeted to nothing.
After a while, Sid asked, “Then why didn’t Ken refuse? He has the ability and confidence to refuse.”
Janet rolled her eyes and said, “Because just like you, Ken was also bewitched by Melody. He didn’t listen to what was said at all. Didn’t you see how protective and trusting he was today?”
Upon hearing this, Sid was silent for a long time before he said again, “Don’t worry. If she’s really the kind of person you’re talking about, I’ll think of a way. Isn’t it just because Ken is handsome and rich? I’m handsome and rich too.”
“What do you mean by that?” asked Janet.
Sid raised an eyebrow. “I want to chase after her.”
