Chapter 36

“That’s right. If it is a heatstroke, she should be getting rid of the heatstroke immediately. Isn’t she harming others by messing around like this? Mr. Yager’s status in the

government is not ordinary. If something happens to him, Mr. Yager’s family will pursue the matter regardless of whether she was doing it out of goodwill.”

“That’s right. Let’s not talk about whether Mr. Yager is suffering from heatstroke or not. Even if he is suffering from heatstroke, this is not how you treat him…”

“I know, right?”

Another guest chimed in, “Who eats the ingredients she mentioned when they get heatstroke…If they can recover by eating some ginger, why was medicine invented anyway?”

None of the onlookers felt that Melody was reliable. Some even left quietly in order not to be dragged into the situation.

Owen looked at Melody, who was about the same age as his daughter, and could not help but ask Wendell in a low voice.

“Mr. Hunter, should we go up and stop her? That young lady looks quite innocent. Perhaps she’ll stop after we persuade her.”

Wendell snorted and said, “Stop her? Why should I stop her?”

Silverlake was the Swanson family’s territory. Ramon could resolve this matter however he wanted.

If that girl cured Mr. Yager, Ramon could completely take the credit. After all, he had found someone who knew medicine in time.

However, if he couldn’t be cured, Ramon could completely deny his responsibility and say that the girl had taken matters into her own hands and ultimately harmed Mr. Yager’s life.

Either way, Ramon would not be implicated, although Mr. Yager might lose the opportunity to continue that project if he died.

However, that project was just icing on the cake for the Swanson Group, which was at the peak of its growth.

Owen looked at Wendell’s expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

Owen could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Wendell and Ramon were now treating him well. Ulric even promised to find him the best medical skills to treat his daughter…

But what would happen if he was no longer useful to them?

He and that little girl were chess pieces in their hands. There was no difference between them.

For a moment, Owen’s heart wavered. He was hesitating whether to continue working with Wendell and Ulric.

On the patient’s side.

After Melody personally fed the patient the special concoction, he asked Ken to help him feed the patient a black pill.

Just as the patient was about to swallow the pill, Ramon took a few steps forward to question Melody.

“Wait, what did you feed him?”

“It’s a heat relief medicine I made myself. Its name is Astragalus 61

You made this yourself?” Ramon suddenly had an unreliable feeling in his heart. He frowned and said, “Whatever you gave Mr. Yager just now is also used in cooking, meaning that it’s harmless. That’s why I let you feed it to Mr. Yager. I’ve never heard of these pills of yours. You should forget about feeding this to him.”

As soon as Ramon finished speaking, a guest shouted in surprise. “Mr. Yager doesn’t seem to be vomiting blood anymore!”

Everyone, including Ramon, looked at Sean Yager who was lying on the ground.

Sure enough, he had stopped vomiting blood and his face was no longer as pale as before.

“That’s strange! She’s so young, but her medical skills are really not bad.”

“Don’t speak too soon. What if it’s a coincidence?”

Melody ignored the discussions. She knew very well that Sean’s recovery was due to the concoction.

However, Sean’s heatstroke was too serious and caused some complications. If he does not take the pills in her hand, the situation will quickly worsen.

Melody looked at Ken anxiously.

Ken seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He took the pill from her hand and stuffed it into Sean’s mouth.

Ken gently lifted Sean’s chin, and Sean naturally swallowed.

Melody heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that nothing major would happen to Mr. Yager anymore.

However, when Ramon saw this scene, he was burning with anxiety. He did not care about Ken’s reputation and was scolded. “Ken! What are you doing?”

Ken met Ramon’s gaze expressionlessly. His thin lips parted slightly as he spat out two words. “Feeding him medicine.”

Ramon was so angry that he almost couldn’t catch his breath.

“Feeding him medicine? How do you know that this medicine won’t have any side effects? Do you know that if anything happens, you’ll have to be accountable!”

Ken glanced at Ramon indifferently.

“But Mr. Yager stopped vomiting blood after taking this lady’s medicine just now.”

“How can this be the same? Those are also ingredients, and this is medicine! How can you eat medicine recklessly?”

Ramon wished he could slap Ken, the incompetent bastard.

At this moment, the assistant ran over with a team of medical staff in white coats.

“Chairman! The medical team is here!”

Ramon felt relieved and immediately called the medical team to check on Sean.

Melody immediately saw the leader of the medical team. It was none other than Rodney.

Rodney was a senior figure in Central Hospital. It was just a cocktail party, but they invited a doctor of Rodney’s level to be here as a member of the medical team. This was enough to prove how extraordinary the identity of the person attending the cocktail party tonight was.

Rodney did not notice Melody. He immediately ran to Sean’s side to check on the situation.

After a few checks, Rodney Stanton asked Ramon Swanson with a puzzled expression.

“Did someone treat the patient just now?”

Ramon’s heart sank. He thought that there was a problem with Melody’s treatment. He pointed at Melody and said, “She volunteered to treat him just now.”

Rodney’s gaze landed on Melody.

The doctor’s observation skills were generally better than ordinary people. In the next moment, when he saw Melody, his eyes revealed a surprised expression, but he was also a little uncertain.

“Are you…”

“My surname is Knowles,” Melody interrupted Rodney and introduced herself.

Rodney could see that the girl in front of him was Melody

in terms of temperament and posture.

But she said her surname was Knowles?

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he did not ask the question in his heart. Instead, he followed Melody’s words and said, “Miss Knowles, you were the one who treated the patient just now.”

“It’s me.” Melody nodded.

“That’s her!”

“She took the liberty of giving Mr. Yager a black pill of some kind.”

“Yeah, Mr. Ramon wanted to stop her, but it was too late.”

To show off in front of Ramon, the surrounding people all spoke up for Ramon.

Rodney was confused.

“Why would you stop her?”

The surrounding people were instantly shocked. For a moment, they did not understand what Rodney meant.

Ramon was the first to come back to his senses. He asked hesitantly, “Doctor, you mean…the medicine she fed Mr. Yager is fine?”

“Of course, there’s no problem!” Rodney said, “The patient’s condition is no longer dangerous. If she didn’t treat him in time, he might have died by now.”

As soon as Rodney finished speaking, Ramon’s eyes widened in surprise.

However, he quickly regained his composure and asked with certainty, “Is what you said true?”

“Of course it’s true. I don’t even know her. Why would I help her lie? It’s a matter of life and death. Do you think I’d lie to you?”

Ramon looked a little embarrassed. He covered his nose and coughed dryly. He was glad that Ken did not listen to him and forcefully fed Sean the medicine.

At that moment, Sean, who was lying on the ground, regained consciousness.

Ramon noticed it and immediately went forward to ask, “Mr. Yager, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Sean shook his head and stood up with the help of the waiter.

Ramon was about to help Sean when Sean avoided his hand and walked to Melody. He bowed and cupped his hands.

“Miss Knowles, thank you for saving my life! Although I was in pain just now, I know what happened clearly in my mind. If you hadn’t stepped forward, I might not have been able to go back to Insterimond.”

Melody waved her hand in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. “There’s no need to thank me. I am medically trained. In such a situation, it is my responsibility to step forward to help

As Melody spoke, she didn’t want to take all the credit. After all, the more successful someone is, the more they attract unwanted attention. Thus, she added, “It’s all thanks to Mr. Ramon and Mr. Ken Swanson just now. If they hadn’t

helped contact the people in the manor to gather herbs, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to do it even if I wanted to.”

When Ramon heard this, his indifferent gaze softened.

At least this girl was smart and knew what to say.

When Sean heard what Melody said, he admired her even more. He turned around and thanked Ken and Ramon.

“Thank you for tonight. I will remember it.”

“Not at all…” Ramon waved his hand and said, “When we were young, we were sworn brothers. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Sean pursed his lips and looked at Melody again. “Miss Knowles, you are my savior. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to help you.”

Recalling the feeling of walking back from the gates of hell, he still felt afraid and grateful. He immediately suggested exchanging phone numbers with Melody.

Melody could not refuse, so she could only exchange numbers with Sean.

Rodney stepped forward at the right time.

“Sir, although your illness is almost cured, you still need a drip to prevent your body from being unable to keep up. Why don’t you come back to the hospital with us and be hospitalized for observation for a day?”

Sean nodded. After apologizing to Melody, again and again, he left with Rodney,

Rodney called out to Melody before he left.

“Miss Knowles, I have to confirm what medicine you used just now to make it easier for Mr. Yager to get an infusion after he reaches the hospital. It is to ensure that there won’t be any drug resistance.”

Melody’s expression did not change. She nodded and said, “Then I’ll send you off. We’ll talk on the way.”

They left side by side.

After Rodney followed the procedure and asked about the medicine, he finally could not help but say, “Miss Fox, it’s you, right?”

When Melody saw that there was no one around and that Rodney did not have any bad intentions, she nodded and admitted, “It’s me, Rodney.”

Rodney’s eyes instantly lit up.

He clapped his hands excitedly and said, “It’s really you! I knew it. I was wondering how so many young people have such good medical skills?”

“The staff member who brought me in told me about the patient’s condition after I got out of the car,” Rodney continued.

“Although it’s only heatstroke, most people feel that it’s not a disease at all. They don’t know that if the heatstroke is too intense, it will severely affect their lives.”

“If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for them to get rid of such a deep heatstroke in such a short period of time.”

After praising him, Rodney remembered his doubts and asked, “But why did you say that your surname is Knowles?”

Melody hesitated for a moment before saying, “I came here today to help someone with a very important matter, but it’s not convenient for me to use my real identity, so I used a fake name.”

“I see. I’m glad I didn’t ask you back then.”

Rodney heaved a sigh of relief and said, “By the way, our director looked for me today and wanted me to ask you…Do you want to consider becoming a specially-appointed doctor in our hospital?”

After Rodney finished speaking, he hurriedly added, “It’s the kind that doesn’t need to work shifts. You only need to come over and help when there are special circumstances. As for the remuneration, feel free to name it.”

Melody hesitated for a moment and said, “But I have many things on my plate recently…”

Rodney immediately said, “You don’t have to rush to give me an answer. You can consider it before telling me the answer.”

Melody was silent for a while. She thought that if she could become a doctor at City Central Hospital, many things would be much more convenient. She did not think about it anymore and nodded. “Then tell the director that I’m willing to go, but I really don’t have time to work shifts.”

“Don’t worry! It’s a waste of talent for someone like you to work shifts. If you don’t have time when we need you, you can choose to finish your work first.”

“I have an additional condition.”

“Go ahead.”

“I want to work under the name Wilona Knowles. I wonder if it’s possible?”

“Of course! The dean said that as long as you agree, you can name all the conditions.”

“Alright, it’s settled then.”

Rodney was overjoyed, but when he remembered that Sean still had to be sent to the hospital, he could only bid farewell to Melody reluctantly.

“Then, Miss Fox, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay.”

Melody smiled. After watching Rodney leave, she turned around and walked towards the main venue.

However, halfway there, she happened to bump into Owen, who was smoking by the roadside.

Owen seemed to be in a very bad mood. He was frowning so much that it could kill a fly.

After hesitating for a moment, Melody walked forward with a worried expression.

“Sir…”

Owen subconsciously looked up.

“It’s you…the doctor who saved Mr. Yager.”

“It’s me.” Melody nodded and pleaded, “This is my first time

in Sky City. After telling the doctor about the patient’s condition, I can’t find my way back. I wonder if you can help me point it out?”

Owen threw away the cigarette butt and stood up. “It just so happens that I’m going back too. Come with me.”

“Thanks a lot.”

“No need.” Owen smiled and waved his hand. “I didn’t expect Miss Knowles to have such good medical skills at such a young age. I heard from the medical team members who are staying here that they would not know where to start with someone like Mr. Yager who vomited blood from heatstroke, but you only used two medicines to treat him.”

“I’ve been studying medicine since I was three years old, so I have some experience in dealing with such situations. However…” Melody twitched her nose and asked, “Sir, is someone in your family sick?”
