Chapter 347

“Hey…” Cason hurriedly chased after the man. As he ran, he asked, “Who are you? Do you know that liar?”

The man ignored him and sped up. However, because he had to wait for the elevator, Cason still caught up with him.

When the elevator arrived at the neurology department, Cason couldn’t help but tell the man what had happened. Of course, he completely absolved himself, placing all the blame on Melody. He claimed that Ander rejected his expert treatment and was instead duped by Melody into letting her, a scammer, perform the surgery. Now, with Lucas’s fate uncertain, he said he was also very worried and so on.

Only then did the man look at Cason properly and ask, “Are you a brain expert?” He thought. Why does he look like a greasy middle-aged man in a dirty business?

Cason immediately took out his medical license. Tm the expert!”

The man, Sid, took the document and looked at it. When he looked at Cason again, there was a hint of respect in his eyes. He had a natural reverence for medical staff.

At this moment, the elevator arrived.

At the same time, in the ward, Melody finally managed to calm Zoe down. Just as she was about to leave, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

The door hit the wall with a loud bang, causing the four people in the ward to look at the door.

Melody turned around and met Sid’s dark eyes. Shock flashed across her eyes as she asked in confusion, “Sid? Why are you here?”

Just as she finished asking, she suddenly remembered that Sid had promised her to come to the hospital for a checkup. But how did Sid know she was here?

As soon as she finished speaking, another figure appeared at the door of the ward. Melody instantly narrowed her eyes. ‘Cason? How dare he come back?’ she thought.

Before Melody could question him, Sid had already walked up to her and pulled her out of the ward.

“Melody, what’s wrong with you? Are you so short of money? Do you know that your actions will affect Ken’s reputation?”

The more Melody listened, the more confused she became. “What do you mean I’m so short of money? What did I do that would affect Ken’s reputation?”

Sid took a deep breath and suppressed his anger as he said in a low voice, “Don’t lie to me now! You know medicine, and I know that you used the traditional medicine method to treat Margaret, but this is an operation. And it’s a brain surgery. Are you crazy about money? That’s why you lie to others like this? Also, do you know who you’re lying to?

“It’s Ander! Ximber Tech is counting on his support in the future. Now, we haven’t even hooked up with Ander yet, but you’ve ruined it! You should tell Ander the truth now. Tell him that you don’t know how to operate at all. That way, Ander might forgive you. But you can’t say that you’re from Ximber Tech or that you know Ken.”

Sid spoke in one breath. When he looked up, he saw Melody looking at him calmly with a faint smile in her eyes.

That smile made Sid angry again. “Melody, did you hear what I just said?”

Seeing that Sid was about to flare up, Melody finally stopped smiling.

She thought Sid was quite funny. He didn’t have any bad intentions, but he was so simple-minded. He was quite similar to James, but James seemed to be smarter than him.

Even if she were a scammer, she wouldn’t risk

someone’s life. Melody shook off her messy emotions and said helplessly, “I heard you. Don’t worry. I’m not lying.”

“You’re still lying at this juncture! You…” Just as Sid was halfway through his reprimand, Ander and Sienna walked out of the ward.

Sid had to pause and greeted Ander, “Hello, Mr. Morgan.”

Ander looked at Sid and then at Melody. He nodded slightly and asked Melody, “Who is this?”

Melody ignored Sid’s frantic signaling and introduced, “This is my friend, Sid Quant. He designs AI products and is the chief developer at Ximber Tech.”

Sid’s face darkened. He wanted to cover Melody’s mouth. He had specifically said not to mention anything about Ximber Tech to Ander, but she went ahead and did just that, potentially jeopardizing the entire company.

However, Ander was right in front of him, and Sid could not cover Melody’s mouth. He could only force a smile and hope for the best.

Ander had an impression of Ximber Tech. He said with admiration, “I’ve heard of this company. It has a bright future. I just didn’t expect your designer to be so young. It’s indeed the era of you young people.”

Just as Sid was about to speak, Cason was forcefully escorted out by Ander’s subordinates like a criminal.

Sid was shocked. He couldn’t care less and said directly, “Mr. Morgan, I’m really sorry! Melody is young and inexperienced. Her medical skills are not worth mentioning. Perhaps she doesn’t know how to speak, and what she said made you misunderstand, so please let go of Dr. Baxter!”

Ander and Sienna looked puzzled at the same time. They thought, ‘Inexperienced? Medical skills are not worth mentioning? Is this really the Melody we know?

Ander couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Quant, do you have some misunderstanding about Melody?”

“Misunderstanding? I don’t misunderstand her. I’m afraid that you…” Sid carefully chose his words.

Before Ander could ask again, Cason struggled with all his might. As he struggled, he shouted, “You ungrateful fellows, let go of me quickly! If you apologize to me properly, I might even help you figure out how to do the surgery!”

Ander immediately frowned. “Cason, you’ve offended Melody time and time again. What are you trying to do?”

Sienna also chimed in, “Cason, if you don’t want to crawl out of the hospital, get lost immediately!”

Sid saw that the Morgan family’s attitude toward Cason was actually so bad. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

“Mr. Morgan!” He hurriedly went forward to say, “You can’t do this to Dr. Baxter. It will harm your son.”

Ander was puzzled. “You’re Melody’s friend. Why are you still protecting this heartless quack?”

At this moment, Sid disregarding Ken’s high regard for Melody, decided to “reveal” the truth about her. “I do know her, but when it comes to a matter of life and death, I must speak up.”

Ander also became serious. “Go ahead.”

Sid looked at Melody. In the end, he steeled his heart and said, “Melody does know some medicine, but it’s just basic. Or rather, her skills in traditional medicine are decent, but she’s not good at modern medicine. She can’t perform your son’s surgery; she’s been deceiving you. You should let Dr. Baxter operate on your son immediately.”

Seeing that Sid was speaking up for him, Cason puffed up. “Did you hear that? The surgery has been delayed too long already, and she’s still out here, proving she can’t do it. You’d better apologize, and I might be generous enough to discuss the surgical plan with the doctors here.”
