Melody was about to answer, but Mabel spoke first. “We met at the check-in just now. By the way, what’s your name?”
Melody replied calmly, “My surname is Knowles.”
“Oh, Miss Knowles…” Mabel said apologetically, “Did I interrupt your conversation just now?”
As Mabel spoke, her eyes were sparkling and her face was filled with apology. Even if one was interrupted, it would be difficult to say that directly to Mabel’s face.
Melody did not reply. She stared at Ulric with interest.
Ulric said, “You’re not disturbing anything. I just thought that Miss Knowles was looking for someone. As the host of the cocktail party, I specially came over to ask.”
“That’s good.” Mabel nodded and asked gently, “Mr. Swanson…I wonder if you have time? I have something to tell you.”
No one would reject a beauty’s request.
Ulric immediately agreed. “Of course.”
As he spoke, he turned to Melody.
“Miss Knowles, if you need any help, look for me anytime. I need to speak to Mabel first.”
“Alright.” Melody nodded. She could not wait for them to leave.
“Let’s go, Mabel.” Ulric made a “please” gesture and said,
“There’s a small cafe over there. Let’s talk over there.”
Mabel nodded and walked side by side with Ulric towards the cafe.
Mabel had just taken two steps when she turned to look at Melody. Her eyes were filled with warning and smugness as if she was declaring ownership.
Melody only felt that it was ridiculous. She ignored Mabel and turned around to continue searching for Owen.
Finally, she saw Owen talking to someone at the pool.
Melody did not walk over immediately. Instead, she observed the person who spoke to Owen.
The person who spoke to Owen was none other than Cadence’s father, Wendell.
Wendell said something, to which Owen seemed extremely grateful as he bowed repeatedly to Wendell.
Melody was quickly thinking about how to gain Owen’s trust. Suddenly, a few exclamations came from near Owen.
“Help! Someone is vomiting blood here!”
Perhaps it was the nature of a doctor. Melody subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
A middle-aged man was lying on the ground, retching. He was vomiting black blood, and the scene was a little shocking.
Ulric had already left with Mabel, so Ramon personally went forward to ask about the situation.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Yager?” Ramon’s eyes were filled with anxiety. When he saw that the other party was vomiting blood non-stop, he quickly turned his head and urged the waiter to find the hotel’s medical team.
If someone died at his celebratory party, his company would be negatively affected. Therefore, the anxiety on Ramon’s face was undeniably real.
However, the waiter ran out and quickly ran back. He said in a panic, “Mr. Ramon, I have bad news…The medical team that the hotel called has just left the hospital.”
“What? They’re not here yet?” Ramon broke out in a cold sweat.
He glanced at the people around him and asked, “May I ask if anyone here is medically trained?”
The people present looked at each other. No one stood up.
Most of the people who came today were businessmen and knew nothing about medicine.
Moreover, everyone present was calculative and sly. It was easy to see their real intentions.
Mr. Yager, who was now lying on the ground was an important figure in society. If anyone went forward to treat him and he ended up dying in their hands, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
No one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.
Hence, even after asking for a long time, no one came forward.
Just as Ramon was about to get someone to drive Mr. Yager to the hospital, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded. am medically trained.”
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
A delicate-looking girl walked over.
This person was none other than Melody. However, no one present recognized her as the ugly girl Melody.
Ramon asked, “Young lady, do you really know medicine?”
Melody nodded and said, “My surname is Knowles. My family has had generations of medical professionals. I’ve been learning medicine from my parents since I was three years old. Let me take a look at him.”
Ramon’s mind raced, and he quickly remembered that there was indeed a family of doctors surnamed Knowles in Insterimond.
Those who were invited here were not ordinary people, even if Melody looked younger than his two sons.
After thinking for two seconds, Ramon said, “Then please take a look at Mr. Yager.”
“No problem.” Melody walked confidently to the patient surnamed Yager and squatted down.
She took his hand to feel his pulse while observing his expression.
Traditional medicine places emphasis on the observation of the patient’s current condition, especially in emergency situations like these.
About a minute later, she let go of the patient’s hand.
Ramon hurriedly asked, “How’s the situation? Why did he suddenly vomit blood?”
Melody responded, “He’s breathing heavily and he looks dizzy. Coupled with the fact that he’s sweating and vomiting blood, I think it’s caused by the heat poison.”
“What?” Ramon asked in disbelief, “You’re saying this is just a heatstroke?”
Many of the people around did not understand what Melody was saying, but when Ramon said that, everyone immediately burst into discussion.
“Heatstroke? He’s vomiting blood. How could it just be a heatstroke?”
“It’s obvious that this young lady only knows a little. She just opened her mouth and said it! Does she know the identity of the person who vomited blood? How dare she go up?”
The discussion naturally reached Melody’s ears.
Melody’s expression did not change. She looked at Ramon who no longer trusted her and said, “Mr. Ramon, this is indeed a sign of heatstroke, but his heatstroke is serious, which is why his symptoms are so severe. If we don’t treat him immediately, I’m afraid he’ll be gone by the time he’s sent to the hospital. I can vouch for what I said with my reputation as someone from the Knowles family.”
Ramon was shocked. ‘Using her family’s honor as a guarantee? Is this young lady too arrogant, or is she confident? he thought.
While he was hesitating, a tall figure came to Ramon’s side.
It was Ken.
He did not look at Melody. Instead, he said to Ramon, “Dad, I’ve seen people vomit blood from heatstroke before.”
When Ramon heard this, his heart wavered even more.
Two seconds later, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright! Treat him immediately. If he’s cured, I will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Melody shook her head. “No need. As a doctor, saving people is my job. But I need you to help me gather what I need.”
“Just list it.”
Quickly, Melody listed the nine types of herbs that she needed.
Just as Melody was not sure if the Sky City had these herbs, the manager of the Sky City beside her said, “Yes, we have all these things.”
Ramon asked in surprise, “Did you put a lot of these herbs in the hotel?”
Melody explained on behalf of the manager, “The nine types I’m talking about are herbs, but they’re also often used in ingredients used in food, so there must be some.”
“Alright, alright.” Ramon nodded repeatedly and said, “Then hurry up and get ready.”
“I’ll go with them.” As Melody spoke, she followed the manager to find nine types of herbs. After quickly putting
together a concoction, she took it to the patient’s side and mixed it with water.
The onlookers shook their heads. I’m afraid this young lady is going to be in trouble.
