Chapter 567

Melody would never go back on her word and still calmly helped Ruby out of the car as if nothing had happened.

“So scary…” Ruby pointed at her phone and said, “The news is out. Cadence is no longer alive.”

When Melody heard this, her eyes lit up and she turned to check it. The news reported that there was a murder in the most famous Floassian restaurant in Silverlake. When the police arrived, the two victims had already been confirmed dead.

There was a flash of light in her eyes for a moment, but it passed soon. In her previous life, Cadence joined forces with Ulric and tricked her into going to the hospital to dig out her heart. In this life, including that hound incident, this was the second time that Cadence had tried to kill her. Such a vicious person indeed deserved this ending.

Melody could not be soft-hearted. Or she would be the only one who had died.

Ruby did not notice the change in Melody’s gaze and her hands were still trembling.

She tried her best to calm down when holding Melody’s arm and said in a hoarse voice, “I still can’t believe it. She has talked to us, but she is dead. now. Melody, do you think she can still be saved?”

Melody shook her head. “No.”

Considering the huge amount of blood loss, Cadence couldn’t wait for the medical staff to arrive. Although Sid was also stabbed, the two of them were injured in different places.

Cadence was injured in a major artery and that meant a narrow chance of survival even if Melody came upstairs to save her at that moment, not to mention that she would never do such a stupid kind thing.

After the two of them entered, Melody asked the servant to pour a cup of hot water for Ruby.

After drinking, Ruby’s trembling hands gradually calmed down. “Silverlake is really too dangerous.” She sighed. “Maybe I should go back to Insterimond for my baby. After all, the Taylor family’s headquarters is there and it’s safer. Melody, do you have any thoughts about going to Insterimond to develop? If you want to go, I can arrange it for you immediately.”

“Insterimond…” Melody could not help but fall into deep thought.

That was her mother’s hometown. However, the Brewer family did not agree to Wilona marrying Russell, so they threatened to sever ties with her. But in the end, Wilona still married Russell, so the two families had no contact since then. She wondered if her mother would regret severing ties with her family.

Melody took a deep breath and said, “I don’t think so for the time being, but I’ll take an exam there in a while.”

Ruby could not help but feel a sense of regret. However, she couldn’t force Melody. Ruby could only follow Melody’s wishes and ask, “What exam?”

“I can’t explain it clearly now. A friend of mine advised me to do it.” Melody paused and said, “For you, Silverlake is indeed not as safe as Insterimond. If you want to go back, just hurry up. I’ll come to see you when I’m free.”

“Really?” Ruby was pleasantly surprised. She took her hand gratefully and said, “Thank you, Melody.”

“You’re welcome. I also quite love your child and always believed there is something special between us.” As Melody spoke, she suddenly felt dizzy because the drug that Cadence had given her had not been completely detoxified.

Realizing this, Melody said, “Ruby, I’m a little tired today. Can I go to my room to rest? I’ll recover after lying down for about ten minutes.”

“Of course! I’ve already asked the maid to make a room for you. The sheets are all new. I’ll take you there.”

Ruby quickly got up and brought her to the guest room. Just as she had said, the room was spotless and brand new, and she even prepared a fitting change of clothes. “Have a good break. When you’re better, I’ll get the chef to cook a few more dishes. You should be as hungry as I am.”

Melody nodded. After watching Ruby leave, she lay on the bed and began to perform acupuncture on herself.

In the restaurant, the situation was urgent and the poison did not have time to be completely removed. Now, another round would almost solve the problem. After disinfecting a few slender silver needles, she pushed them into a few acupoints in her body. She closed her eyes and quietly waited for the poison to be removed.

At the same time, Ruby was instructing the chef in the living room. “Yes, buy some food. But don’t make them too greasy. The bland food is better for her skin. Also, don’t buy seafood or anything stimulating. Then buy a few coconuts. Coconut juice is good for the skin.”

She instructed in detail and her words were full of concern for Melody.

All the servants in the house secretly reminded themselves not to neglect the ugly woman in the guest room.

At this moment, a bodyguard entered and reported. “Mrs. Taylor, there’s someone outside looking for Miss Fox.”

“Looking for Melody? Who is it?” Ruby asked.

The bodyguard looked like he didn’t dare to say his full name. He shrank his neck and said, “Mr. Swanson.”

Ruby raised her eyelids and revealed a smile while feeling surprised.

It seemed that Mason was right. The demonic Mr. Swanson was really engaged to Melody and seemed to care about her, or he would not have come to their house. This man must have spent a lot of effort.

All the people in Silverlake said that this young man was scary, but because of Mason, she had once met Ken at a banquet. His words and actions made her feel that those rumors might not be true.

Most importantly, she trusted Melody’s judgment. Since Melody agreed to marry Ken, it meant that he was not a bad man.

Ruby suppressed the smile on her face and walked out. When she walked out of the door, she noticed Ken’s anxious expression, completely different from the cold man she had seen before. ‘Is this the power of love?’

The last trace of fear in Ruby’s heart towards Ken dissipated. She finally could not suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. “Mr. Swanson, you’re here. We didn’t wait until you showed up at the restaurant back then. I thought you didn’t care about our Melody.”

Ken was anxious to find Melody. When he heard this and knew that Melody was in Ruby’s house, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Wendell would not do anything to retaliate against Melody here because the Taylor family had excellent security.

However, he also sensed something weird and could not help but ask in shock, “What do you mean by not waiting until I show up?”

Ruby was stunned for a moment before asking, “I called Miss Murphy to

tell her that Melody was in trouble and asked you to help. Didn’t she tell you? Then how did you find this place?”

Ruby’s head was full of questions, but Ken’s hands by his sides subconsciously clenched into fists.
