Chapter 72
Liam spoke, not even bothering to take the commission the butter offered, and turned to leave.
However, the next moment, Melody snapped out of her daze and called out to Liam in a cold voice.“Wait a moment!”
Liam stopped in his tracks, looking at her with a look of disgust.
“What more do you have to say? Even if you’ve deceived the whole world, we the real doctors, will not be deceived by you! If you’re trying to persuade me, save your breath!”
He felt disgusted just by talking to Melody.
One’s appearance is a reflection of their heart. This wretched girl was so ugly, and her heart was indeed very malicious!
In any case, Liam found Melody extremely displeasing.
Melody, of course, noticed Liam’s aversion to her, but she just smiled nonchalantly and said, “You misunderstand. I’m not trying to persuade you. Medical skills are evident in their results. There’s no need for eloquence.”
Liam snorted. “Then what do you want to say?”
Melody looked up and met Liam’s gaze directly.
Her gaze was so clear and cold that it made Liam feel a bit intimidated as if he dared not meet her eyes.
“What exactly do you want to say?” Liam was annoyed at his momentary cowardice, and his tone became more aggressive.
“I want to say… you keep calling me a fraud, but what if I’m not a fraud and I actually cure Margaret? How will you account for slandering me?”
Melody had been too patient in her previous life, and in this life, she was determined to stand up for herself, not allowing anyone to wrong her.
However, when Liam heard her words, he laughed.
“Hey! Slander? I’m just stating the facts!”
“I’m talking about a hypothetical situation. What if I’m not?” Melody raised an eyebrow, looking calm and confident.
Liam subconsciously swallowed and then blurted out, “If you’re not a fraud and you really cure Margaret, then I’m willing to bow and apologize to you in front of everyone and resign from my position as a deputy dean. But if, after a week, Margaret’s illness hasn’t improved, then you must go to the police station and turn yourself in, how about that?”
“Alright.” Melody agreed without hesitation,
Her quick agreement made the previously composed Liam feel inexplicably flustered.
‘Could it be this girl really have some skills? But then Liam immediately dismissed the thought.
It was impossible!
It was absolutely impossible!
“Then it’s a deal, Mr. Ramon. Can you be the witness to this?” Melody asked, looking at Ramon.
Ramon frowned instinctively, but his brow quickly smoothed. I’m willing to be the witness for you.
As long as Margaret could recover, he would not only be a witness but would even agree to this absurd arranged marriage of the Fox family.
“Then it’s settled. Liam, have a good journey. When Margaret gets better, I will come to you to fulfill your promise.”
Liam’s expression froze on his face, and then he snorted coldly, waved his hand, and left.
The bet was also heard by the other doctors and some subconsciously advised.
“Liam, isn’t this bet a bit too much? You have worked hard for so many years to get to your current position, what if …
“There are no what-ifs! Lian fiercely interrupted the doctor’s words. “Don’t joke around! A young girl dares to say she has medical skills, and you actually believe it, which really disappoints me! Just wait. She will go to jail soon!”
Today, Margaret refused to go to the hospital, and something would definitely happen tomorrow.
One had to know Margaret vomited blood!
Generally, such acute patients would die immediately if not handled within a day.
Now he couldn’t care whether Margaret would die or not, for him, exposing Melody’s true face was the most important.
At this moment, Liam had completely forgotten that he was a doctor, and the doctor’s duty was to save people, not to fight with others.
In the room, after the doctors left, the air in the room seemed to flow much more smoothly.
Melody took back the doctor’s leaving figure, turned her head, and smiled at Margaret. “Margaret, you lie down, and I will check your pulse carefully again.”
Where did Margaret not agree, and she quickly reached out to cooperate with Melody?
Those doctors all thought that her vomiting blood this time was going to be a big deal, but as the patient herself, she was the most clear about whether she was comfortable or not.
About a minute later, Melody slowly opened her eyes and said in Margaret’s expectant eyes, “You are indeed much better, so starting tonight, I will give you a new prescription, and we will start the second course of treatment.”
“Good” Margaret nodded repeatedly.
She was in a good mood and was willing to talk to Ramon and Ken.
“Don’t just stand there. Sit down. Each of you, standing like a door god, makes me uncomfortable.”
Ramon let out a long sigh of relief and sat down in a chair, asking Melody about the things to pay attention to in the second phase of the treatment.
Melody patiently explained, with loose strands of hair falling gently around her ears as the air moved.
Ken inadvertently glanced over, and to his surprise, found Melody’s serious expression even more dazzling than that of Mabel, the reputed number-one socialite of Silverlake.
Just as Melody finished explaining the precautions to Ramon, she turned her head and met his gaze.
In that moment of eye contact, Melody suddenly cited her lips into a smile, revealing a set of pearly white and neat teeth. Her eyes, shine even brighter than her teeth, causing a strange flutter in his heart, as if ripples appeared on the originally calm lake surface.
Was he going crazy?
Ken suddenly stood up and said, “I’m a bit thirsty. I’m going back to my room for a drink.”
With that, he began to walk outside, his figure seeming somewhat flustered.
Melody tilted her head in confusion.
Did her face look too terrifying, scaring Ken off?
It seemed she should avoid smiling at people casually until her appearance was restored, so as not to frighten others.
Meanwhile, downstairs, the doctors had barely stepped out of the hall when they ran into Astrid, who had just caught up.
Astrid’s face was as dark as ink, Seeing the doctors come out, she restrained her emotions a bit and stepped forward to ask, “Why are you leaving? is Margaret still unwilling to go with you?”
For her, it would be easier if Margaret were dead, sparing her from being a daughter-in-law and enduring Margaret’s attitude.
But Ramon was too filial, and she didn’t dare to act too obviously. Soon the surface, she still appeared very worried about Margaret.
The deputy dean, Liam, forced a smile and said, “Mrs. Astrid, it’s not that we want to leave. It’s that Mr. Ramon would rather believe that female fraudster than believe us and drive us out.”
“What?” Astrid was taken aback. “You mean Ramon believes Melody that wretched… doesn’t believe you? That can’t be!”
Liam shrugged his hands “If you don’t believe it, go up and see for yourself. Since we’re not needed here, we’ll take our leave.”
“Wait…” Before Astrid could say more, the doctors had already gotten into their car and left
