Chapter 346
Sienna subconsciously changed the way she addressed “Miss Fox” to “Melody” and said guiltily, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you and invited that jinx over you beat for an operation. It’s all my fault. Why don’t you beat me up to appease your anger?”
Melody smiled. “Sienna, you’re doing this for Lucas’s own good. We all want Lucas to get through this. Our goals are the same. Why should I be angry?”
Melody’s reasonableness made Sienna feel even more sorry. She took a deep breath and said, “How about this? Melody, as a thank you, I can join your company and work for you for free for a year.”
Melody asked in surprise, “Enter my company?”
“Yes.” Sienna said embarrassedly, “I’ve secretly investigated you and know that you’re the heiress of the Justalion Group. I studied design and just quit my job overseas. I’m looking for a job. If you don’t mind, I can help the Justalion Group design the new season’s clothes. Although I’m not the best designer, it’s not a problem for me to help the Justalion Group revive.”
Melody suddenly thought of a name. She looked at Sienna carefully. The memories of her previous life overlapped with the Sienna in front of her. She asked in surprise, “Is your Gomish name Lisa?”
“That’s right,” Sienna replied.
Melody immediately felt deep veneration for Sienna.
She had heard of Lisa in her previous life. She was famous in the entire fashion design world and was an international first-rate fashion designer. Currently, Lisa’s reputation is not as great as it was in her previous life.
However, it was conceivable that if such a person could work in the Justalion Group’s design department, she could indeed make the Justalion Group rise again.
Melody took a while to digest this news. Although she could not bear to see Russell doing well, the Justalion Group was her mother’s hard work. She had long planned to revive the Justalion Group, but she did not have the right opportunity. And right now, Sienna was the opportunity.
At the thought of this, Melody quickly said, “That sounds great! But don’t worry, I won’t let you work for free. We’ll pay you the same salary you were earning abroad. Otherwise, I’d feel guilty.”
Sienna didn’t lack money, but she couldn’t refuse, so she could only nod in agreement.
“Then wait for me for a few days. I’ll talk to my father and arrange for you to enter the company,” Melody said.
“No problem. Coincidentally, I also want to wait for Lucas to recover before going to work,” Sienna replied.
At this moment, Ander woke up.
“Ander!” Sienna quickly ran to Ander’s bedside.
However, he no longer behaved as before. Clearly, he had returned to normal.
“Ander, that’s great. You’re fine,” Sienna said.
Ander nodded. He realized that he had been too happy just now.
“Since you’re fine, I’ll help you remove the silver needles.” Melody went forward and removed the silver needles on Ander’s body one by one.
As she removed the silver needles, she explained Lucas’s condition. “Lucas should be in the ICU by now. The surgery process is very smooth. It’s all thanks to his good physical condition. Otherwise, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to take it after performing three major surgeries in a short ten days.”
Ander said gratefully, “Melody, thank you. When Lucas wakes up, I’ll tell him to treat you like how he treated us.
“You don’t have to do this. Lucas and I have a special bond. In addition, everyone in the operating theater is doing their best to help me. Moreover, Lucas has never lost hope of survival. This is the result of everyone’s efforts,” Melody said.
Ander replied, “Then the tumor in Lucas’s brain…”
“It has been successfully removed. The tumor was benign, so it won’t come back like cancer. However, brain surgery can lead to various complications and possible aftereffects, so we still need to monitor him closely,” Melody said.
“I understand. We’re already very happy that he survived. Even if he ends up with cognitive issues, we’ll accept it. As long as he’s here, that’s what matters to us,” Ander said.
Parental love knew no bounds. Melody noticed that Ander’s hair had turned slightly gray in just a few days. She couldn’t help but envy Lucas.
Lucas was very happy to have parents who loved him. As for Melody, she might not have the chance to have the love of her parents in this lifetime unless her mother could come back to life. But that was impossible.
Not long after, Zoe also woke up. Ander immediately told her the good news so that Zoe would not faint from crying again.
When Zoe found out that the surgery had gone smoothly and Lucas had survived, she was overjoyed and thanked Melody profusely.
*****
At the same time, at the entrance of the hospital, Cason, who had been chased out twice, was still unwilling.
the Morgan family actually called him, a respected expert, a “bastard.” Instead, they called Melody, that liar, a miracle doctor. He couldn’t tolerate this.
Therefore, even though Cason was beaten black and blue, he did not leave the hospital. Instead, he shouted at the top of his lungs that Ander and the others had been deceived by a young girl and that Lucas did not have long to live.
He was not afraid of being accused of spreading rumors, because the condition of Lucas’s brain was so difficult that even he felt that it was impossible for Lucas to survive. In the entire Halcyon, it was impossible for anyone to successfully complete the surgery.
However, after shouting for a long time, the people passing by did not even give him a glance. All of them were in a hurry and looked straight ahead. When they passed by him, they even quickened their pace.
This kind of disregard made Cason, who had always been praised, feel very displeased. He could not help but raise his voice. “Aren’t you afraid that a swindler called Melody will cheat you? Don’t act like it has nothing to do with you. When that girl cheats you and makes you lose everything, you’ll have to cry! Don’t think that it’s impossible. Do you know Ander? Even the leader of the Halcyon research team was scammed, let alone you guys.”
Cason shouted Ander’s name at the top of his lungs. The passersby finally stopped. “You mean Ander was actually deceived?”
Hearing someone ask, Cason immediately perked up. “That’s right. Not only did Ander not listen to my advice, but he also thought that the liar called Melody was a miracle doctor. Isn’t it ridiculous to joke about his son’s life?”
Cason was about to catch that person and give a few more complaints when suddenly someone grabbed his arm. “What did you say the name of the scammer was?”
Cason subconsciously turned his head and met a pair of beautiful eyes. Those eyes were too good-looking, but they did not look feminine. He could not help but size up the man.
The man before him was strikingly handsome, with broad shoulders and long legs. His expression was indifferent, exuding the air of a privileged youth.
Having encountered many wealthy individuals, Cason Baxter could tell at a glance that this man was affluent. Just the watch on his wrist alone was worth a lot.
Perhaps because Cason hadn’t answered for too long, an unhappy expression appeared on the man’s face. “I’m asking you a question. What did you say the name of the scammer was?”
Cason came back to his senses and quickly replied, “Melody Fox. They call her Melody.”
“Is she not very attractive?” the man asked.
“Not just unattractive; she’s hideously ugly,” Cason replied.
“Where are Ander and his group now?” the man asked.
“They’re on the neurology floor, but I’m not sure if they’re still outside the operating room,” Cason said.
As soon as Cason finished speaking, the man had already left and ran straight for the neurology department.
