Chapter 473

“Colin, how’s Beverly’s condition?” Melody’s tone was normal as she walked towards the backyard.

After all, there were too many people in front and it was difficult to say a lot.

Even so, Colin immediately felt that something was wrong. Beverly is recovering very well. She’ll be discharged after a few days of observation and will go home to recuperate.” As Colin spoke, he instructed Beverly. He walked to the door of the ward and asked, “Melody, did something happen at Herbathrive? Your tone is not right.”

Melody was slightly stunned. She smiled bitterly and said, ” You really know me. Someone came to Herbathrive to cause trouble just now…”

She told Colin the whole story in the shortest possible way. Then, she said, “Only malicious doctors have a Narrow Escape. This must be Michael Hudson’s doing.”

“As expected, Michael is unwilling to leave just like that.” Colin’s voice sank as he felt a lingering fear.

He said gratefully and worriedly, “Melody, if it weren’t for you, Herbathrive’s reputation would have been ruined today. However, I’m afraid he won’t let it go just like that. The next time he finds someone to cause trouble, we might not be able to deal with it.”

“No.” A cold glint flashed across Melody’s eyes. “Although I let the couple who faked their death go, I deliberately exaggerated the side effects of Narrow Escape and said that only I can treat him. I did something special to his body. Not only did I cure the effect of Narrow Escape for him, but I also made sure that he would feel dizzy and nauseous a few days later. His heartbeat will be chaotic. He will definitely come back to find me.”

Colin’s eyes lit up. “In that case, they will definitely give up Michael.”

“That’s right!” Melody narrowed her eyes coldly. “When we get concrete evidence, Michael won’t have the chance to make a move again. I’ll send him straight to jail.”

Colin nodded. After two seconds of silence, he suddenly said, “By the way, Melody, you should know that I have a lot of rare herbs. I placed the key to the storeroom under the second flower pot at the door of my bedroom. If you need anything, just go and get it.”

Melody hesitated for a moment and did not refuse. She replied, “Okay.”

It was time to put the poison in her face on the agenda and do the final detoxification.

With such an ugly face, although she did not care, it was undeniable that such an ugly face would inconvenience her on many occasions.

Humans were visual animals. Just because she wasn’t didn’t mean most people weren’t.

After the call ended, Melody found the key and went to the storeroom.

During this period of time, before she went to bed, she would expel the poison in the most rapid manner. Although she could not completely detoxify the poison without gathering the five types of herbs, the red spots on her face had actually faded a lot compared to the beginning.

After entering the storeroom, the smell of herbs assaulted her nose.

Melody looked up and saw two rows of glass cabinets in the storeroom. Through the glass, she could see countless precious medicine materials inside.

The most expensive one could be exchanged for a villa in downtown Silverlake.

However, she couldn’t find the herbs she needed even after searching the storeroom.

So far, she had already collected three of the five antidotes. Kintame from Deer Mountain, Uvograss from an auction, and Deathtenaire from Colin.

Other than the Green Velvet promised by Mason Taylor, she still needed the last herb Heavy Grass.

Heavy Grass was very poisonous, but it was very effective against the poison on her face. Because this herb was very rare, only a few collectors and some malicious doctors had it.

Melody closed the door of the storeroom with a hint of regret in her eyes.

She originally had a glimmer of hope that Colin would have the last herbs. In the end, it still fell through.

However, after her experience in her previous life, she clearly knew who had this herb in their hands. However, that person was Insterimond. The current Melody was not qualified to come into contact with that person.

However, she felt that there were always more solutions than difficulties. The first few herbs were also very difficult to gather, yet she still managed to gather them.

Melody quickly perked up and went to the clinic to help again.

The next day, Melody was woken up by her phone ringing. Yesterday, Herbathrive had a lot of patients, so she did not go back to Ken’s residence to sleep. Instead, she slept in the backyard of Herbathrive.

She rubbed her eyes and reached for the phone.

It was Sid. She knew that Sid’s call must have something to do with the fire yesterday.

Melody sat up from the bed and quickly picked up the call.” Sid, have you found all the surveillance cameras?”

“Yes, I’ll send it to you now.” Sid’s voice was very suppressed as if he had not slept the entire night.

“You stayed up all night looking for it?”

“Yeah,” Sid said in a hoarse voice. “I can’t help you with anything else. I can only do this kind of chores. I hope it will be useful for digging out clues leading to Ulric.”

Melody frowned and reminded him. “You can’t stay up late due to your health. No matter how urgent things are in the future, you have to sleep. Don’t forget that your blood pressure doesn’t allow you to stay up late to work under heavy pressure.”

She could not tell Sid directly that he had suddenly died while working in her previous life. She could only remind him in this way,

“I know. I’ll go lie down now. You must call me if there’s any news.”

“Yes, I will.” Melody hung up the phone and saw the document sent by Sid.

The document detailed the places that were on fire yesterday. It also marked the places near the fire and the places where there were surveillance cameras.

Melody was a little surprised. She thought that Sid was unreliable, but she did not expect him to be so careful and responsible when it came to serious matters.

Time was of the essence. After she washed up, Melody began to devote herself to the task of restoring surveillance footage.

She didn’t even hear David knocking on the door.

It was not until David pushed the door open and entered that she suddenly came back to her senses.

“Miss Fox!” David called out.

“What’s up? I was busy just now, Melody replied.

“No wonder you didn’t respond even after I knocked on the door for a long time…” David quickly got down to business. There are two people outside who want to see you.”

“Who?”

“It’s a couple. I don’t know them, but they look a little familiar. They must have come to Herbathrive for treatment before.”

“Alright, I understand.” Melody nodded and said, “Tell them to wait for me in the lounge on the second floor of the clinic. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.” After David left, Melody did not rush over. Instead, she continued typing rapidly on the keyboard.

She didn’t close her computer until she finished checking the place that she was working on just now.

Before she left, she looked at the time. It was already noon.

In the morning, she had already checked two-thirds of the places that were on fire, but every surveillance camera was wiped clear. She did not find any clues.

She could only hope that the hacker didn’t clean the rest of the surveillance by himself.

Melody let out a long sigh and pushed open the door with a heavy heart.
