Chapter 735
When Melody Fox saw that Ken Swanson had come up so quickly, he had a bad feeling.
She quickly mouthed, “How is it?” She saw Ken Swanson shake his head at her and walk towards the room.
She frowned and clearly saw the flash of sadness in Ken Swanson’s eyes.
What the hell was going on?
Why did he have such an expression?
Melody Fox hurriedly followed closely behind.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she immediately asked, “What do you mean by shaking your head? Ulric Swanson made such a big mistake, and Mr. Ramon didn’t express anything?”
Ken Swanson could not tell if he was happy or angry. He smiled and said, “It’s not that I didn’t express anything. Astrid Swanson has been grounded for half a year. She’s not allowed to step out of the manor for half a year.”
“Where’s Ulric Swanson?”
“Kneel to the Swanson family shrine for one night.”
Melody Fox was waiting for Ken Swanson to continue, but Ken Swanson did not say anything else. She asked in disbelief, “That’s it? He’s only punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night?”
“Mhm.” Ken Swanson nodded lightly, as if he had expected this.
Melody Fox found it even more unbelievable.
“Aren’t you surprised at all? He’s already been arrested at the police station. Why is he only being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall? Isn’t this punishment lighter than Astrid Swanson?”
Ken Swanson sighed and mentioned how Ulric Swanson had framed him for crippling his legs.
“My punishment back then was only to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night.”
“But aren’t you two of a different nature?”
“There’s no difference.” Ken Swanson looked at her with a complicated expression and said, “Do you know how Ulric Swanson exonerated himself?”
“I’m still waiting downstairs. Didn’t he say that someone was framing the mother and son?”
As for this person, he was just short of directly reporting her and Ken Swanson’s ID numbers.
Ken Swanson shook his head. “After Margaret went upstairs, under the old man’s interrogation, Ulric Swanson changed his words and said that it was because I crippled his legs. He had been holding a grudge for so many years, so he wanted to frame you and make me suffer.
Later on, Astrid Swanson also began to cry. She cried about how miserable Ulric Swanson’s life had been for the past few years after his legs were crippled. He even took almost all the responsibility on her. He said that she was the one who came up with the idea. In the end, Wendell died because they had no experience and used the wrong amount.
“As for malicious doctors, Ulric Swanson also removed himself completely. He said that the poison was bought by someone. He didn’t know that it was malicious doctor’s unique poison.”
Melody Fox looked dejected.
“No wonder…”
No wonder the punishment was so light.
If Ramon Swanson had been a little more soft-hearted, the two of them might not even have been punished.
She looked at Ken Swanson and finally understood why looked dejected, whom the two of them had just met outside, had such a deep sadness in his eyes.
After so many years, his biological father still believed that Ken Swanson had indeed crippled Ulric Swanson’s legs.
She knew very well how it felt to be misunderstood by her biological father.
Melody Fox took a sip of the drink in her hand. It was clearly a sweet drink, but she felt extremely bitter.
After a while, Melody Fox tried her best to calm down.
“Don’t be discouraged. There will be a chance in the future to completely press him to the ground and make him unable to get up.”
It was unknown if she was saying this to herself or to Ken Swanson.
However, this matter made her feel extremely defeated.
She even began to doubt herself. Could she really succeed in taking revenge?
If she could not rely on her methods, perhaps she could only rely on force to exchange her life for Ulric Swanson’s.
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not take this risky move.
After being reborn, she could not live only for revenge. She had to live a new life. Revenge was only the first step, not her only step.
Melody Fox reaffirmed his belief in Fox. When he looked up, he realized that Ken Swanson had brought out a blanket from the closet.
She quickly asked in surprise, “Why are you hugging the blanket? The weather isn’t bad enough to cover two beds.”
Ken Swanson walked out with the blanket and said, “I’ll sleep in the study tonight.”
Melody Fox’s expression froze on his face.
Because of Ulric Swanson, she had almost forgotten the change in Ken Swanson’s attitude towards her over the past two days.
She gritted her teeth and took a few steps in front of Ken Swanson. “No need. You’re the master and I’m a guest. If someone has to go to the study, it should be me.”
No emotions could be seen in Ken Swanson’s eyes. He said calmly, “You’ve misunderstood. I got off work early today and still have some work to do. It’ll probably be early in the morning by the time I’m done. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I might as well sleep in the study tonight. Rest early. Good night.”
With that, he hugged the blanket and left. His figure quickly disappeared from the bedroom door.
Melody Fox’s emotions were indescribably complicated.
She could not tell if Ken Swanson’s excuse of sleeping in the study room was true or not.
Right at this moment, a call from David Marrow came. She adjusted her mood before answering the call.
“Hello? What is it?”
On the other end of the phone, David Marrow seemed to be in a good mood. He reminded her loudly, “Miss Fox, the clinic will open tomorrow. You haven’t forgotten, right?”
“No.”
“Yes, yes. I’m just reminding you. It hasn’t been open for three days. There will probably be a lot of patients tomorrow. I’ll go over in advance.”
“Alright, I’ll be there as soon as possible.”
“Okay, one more thing…”
“Tell me.”
“Previously, you promised those who came to buy pasta that you would give 100 copies of pasta for free every weekend. Tomorrow is the weekend. Should we implement it?”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “I’ve already said it. I can’t go back on my word. Otherwise, it will affect the credibility of the clinic. Remember to remind Momma Thalia when you go over tomorrow. I’ll bring a few people over to help.”
“Alright! Rest early then. I’ll hang up first.”
“Okay.”
Melody Fox hung up the phone. She knew that tomorrow would be very busy, but she could not muster the energy.
Time ticked faster. When she saw that it was already midnight, she did not feel sleepy at all.
She had not slept with Ken Swanson for long, but she was not used to not having him around today.
Was it so easy to develop a habit?
The phone suddenly rang again.
Melody Fox thought that David Marrow had forgotten something, but when he saw the caller ID, it was an unknown number.
She hesitated for a few seconds before picking up.
He heard Aaron Berg’s voice from the other end of the phone-
“Miss Fox, is it convenient for you to come down now?” “Did you find out who’s behind this?”
On the other end of the line, Aaron Berg stammered as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Melody Fox frowned and said, “Forget it. I’ll come down now. Wait for me for a while. I’ll change my clothes.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the back garden.”
Aaron Berg hung up after saying that.
Melody Fox felt even more suspicious.
What could he not say over the phone that he had to specially run to the back garden?
Even if he said it at the entrance of the villa, it was more normal than saying it in the backyard.
Could it be that Aaron Berg suddenly changed his mind and wanted to avenge his sister, Nyla Berg?
