Chapter 621

With Rodney around, Melody didn’t ask any more questions.

Fortunately, Rodney said goodbye after coming to the parking lot. “Miss Fox, you must be tired today. I have to go back and rest well. It’s too tiring. You should go back and rest well too. Also, Mr. Swanson, thank you for today.”

Ken nodded slightly in response.

However, Rodney did not care about Ken’s cold attitude. If not for Melody, Ken would not even need to look at him.

He was already very satisfied.

Soon, Rodney got into the car and left.

After Melody watched Rodney drive away, she could not help but ask Ken curiously, “Why aren’t you saying anything? What are you thinking?”

Ken suddenly looked up at her with an extremely serious expression. “I don’t agree with you.”

“What?” Melody was confused.

“You just said that the three of them are stupid. I don’t agree.” Ken said.

Melody was even more confused. “Why not?”

Ken was silent for two seconds before saying, “I agree with what you said about that Gerard being stupid. It’s just that Oliver and Miranda are both willing to sacrifice for the person they love, so they’re not stupid.”

Melody laughed when she heard that. She asked, “Not stupid? Then why did they do that? Because they were deeply in love with someone?”

“Right.” Ken agreed.

Melody’s eyes widened in shock. She had always felt that Ken was the same as her. He was the kind of person who regarded love as a burden and only fought for the goal in his heart.

But now, Ken sounded quite treasure love.

“You don’t think… love is important, do you?” Melody asked.

“Of course,” Ken answered.

Melody choked again. She could not help but ask, “If you were Oliver and your beloved wanted you to endure humiliation for decades for someone else, would you agree to her suggestion like him?”

“I don’t know if this was Miranda’s suggestion or not, but if I were Oliver, I would take the initiative to suggest it, but my solution might be different from his. Similarly, I wouldn’t let my woman suffer like that.” Ken said.

Melody’s eyes trembled slightly. “Do you mean that if you love someone, you will give up everything just like Oliver?”

“Of course. Loving someone means giving up everything for her or him. Otherwise, what love is there to talk about? Liking someone is different from loving someone.” He met her gaze and said extremely seriously, “If I love someone, I’ll be like Oliver and spend my lifetime with her without hesitation and forever. I won’t hesitate even if I have to go through a lot of trouble. As long as that person is worthy of my love.”

Melody suddenly felt that Ken’s gaze was a little hot. It was so hot that she did not dare to look at him directly.

At the same time, she felt uncomfortable.

However, this discomfort was different from ordinary discomfort. It was even more touching, the kind that made her very afraid.

She was afraid that she would be convinced by Ken to fall in love with someone again.

In her previous life, she was a fool like Miranda. She was willing to suffer anything for Ulric, but what happened in the end?

Loving someone was too scary. The price she paid made her not dare to love anyone again.

But Miranda was luckier than her. At least, she had Oliver, who was willing to give everything for her.

As for Melody… she had been betrayed by everyone. Even the relatives she had once acknowledged were looking forward to her death day and night.

Melody closed her eyes and said with a heavy heart, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go. We still have to take a look at Seventeen.”

Ken wanted to say something, but when he saw the fatigue in her eyes, he swallowed his words.

Forget it. There would be plenty of opportunities to confess in the future. Now was not the right time.

Moreover, they still had a long way to go in the future. He was not in a hurry to scare her.

Soon, the two of them went to see Seventeen. Seventeen’s wounds had all been treated, but he needed to recuperate for at least half a month.

Seeing Ken, Seventeen struggled to sit up from the bed. Melody quickly pressed down on his shoulder.

“Don’t move! You can’t move around now. It’s best if you don’t get out of bed for the next few days. We’ll find a nurse to take care of you.” Melody said.

Seventeen was about to speak when he suddenly felt Ken’s cold gaze. He quickly said, “It’s okay, Miss Fox. This injury is really nothing to me. I can work normally tomorrow.”

“Don’t force yourself. You can’t help me much in this state. We’ll talk about it after you recover.” Melody said.

Seventeen did not dare to answer. He glanced sideways at Ken.

Ken then said, “Listen to her.”

“Yes!” Seventeen did not dare to have any objections and lay down obediently.

“Seventeen’s identity is special. He can’t be hospitalized. Can he rest in Herbathrive?” Ken asked.

“Yes.” Melody nodded. “We have a ward. We can let him go to Herbathrive and rest there. It’s also convenient for me to take care of him.”

“Alright, let’s do that. James…” Ken called James.

James immediately understood. He walked forward and said, “I’ll arrange for someone to move him to Herbathrive now.”

“Good.” Ken nodded slightly and said, “Let’s go and eat. It’s time to eat.”

When James heard this, he quickly mustered his courage and reminded Ken, “Mr. Swanson, the board of directors is still waiting for you to go back and continue the meeting. Do you think…”

“Let them disperse,” Ken replied.

“Yes.” James did not dare to say anything else. He took his phone and went out.

Melody looked at Ken in shock. “You came over before you were done?”

“I was just telling them about my arrangements after taking office. I’ve already made most of the arrangements before coming over. There’s no need to go back.” Ken said.

Moreover, it might be a good choice to give them a cold shoulder.

Ken’s guess was correct.

His sudden departure in the middle of the meeting frightened the directors who had not cooperated at first.

Although on the surface, Ramon seemed to be more inclined to let Ulric take over the company in the future, Ken was the son of Ramon and his first wife.

Ken should be the heir.

No one could be sure who would take over the position of the chairman in the future when Ramon retired.

As time passed, Ken still did not appear. The more they waited, the more terrified they became. They began to consider their escape route.

Previously, the plan they had prepared was to stall time and let Ken have no real power. Maybe, they had to change their plans.

The few of them exchanged glances and finally decided to give up on making things difficult for Ken for the time being.

At the same time, the news that Regina was brought to the police station for review also reached the ears of Ulric and Jennie.

Before the news came, the two of them were discussing how to rope in the other malicious doctors.

“Actually, many of them escaped from Quentin back then, but most of them were not powerful. But now, many of them have developed. It’s the best time to rope them in.” Jennie said.

Ulric saw through Jennie’s true thoughts at a glance. “You took the initiative to look for me and offered to treat my leg disease. You didn’t do that for your own future and money, but to strengthen the team of malicious doctors, right?”

Having her thoughts exposed, Jennie was not in a hurry. She smiled and said, “Mr. Swanson, you are really smart. However, strengthening malicious doctors is good for me and also good for you. Malicious doctors are no less useful than an army. In the future, if you want to get rid of anyone, I can do the job for you with an order. There’s no need to plan as hard as you did in the past.”
