Chapter 75

Ken clearly had little patience and looked at James coldly.

James was startled and dared not tease the matter, saying directly, “Our people learned from the rehabilitation doctor that because Mr. Ulric has not gone for rehabilitation these years, he has missed the best recovery period. The possibility of him recovering completely now is only ten percent, and ten percent is just a conservative estimate. In fact, the chances may be lower than that. “

After James finished speaking, waited for Ken to show a happy expression.

However, Ken just nodded slightly, as if his mood had not fluctuated at all.

In fact, Ken really didn’t have any emotional ups and downs. For him, as long as Ulric and Astrid did not touch his bottom line, he wouldn’t do anything to them. He didn’t care about their life and death, or whether his leg disease could be cured or not.

And his bottom line was just the legacy left by his mother.

Thinking of this, Ken changed the subject and asked, “How is the arrangement at the Pearly Antiques going?”

“It’s still infiltrating. They are all the chairman’s confidants, and it will take a lot of time for our people to arrange to get in.”

“Well, no rush, be steady.”

He had already made up his mind that as long as he got the Pearly Antiques, he would cut off all ties with the Swanson family, including Ramon, his biological father.

He wouldn’t stay in this family for a second if it weren’t for Grandma.

“Go back and see how Miss Melody’s prescription research is going.”

“Yes” James responded, then couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Ken, you asked me to come out and talk. Is it because you still don’t trust Miss Fox?”

“No.” Ken shook his head in denial, but he didn’t explain either.

James didn’t dare to be nosy y and stopped asking any further questions.

When the two men went back, Melody had just determined the dosage.

“Good timing that you’re here Melody handed several packaged medicines to James and earnestly instructed. “This prescription comes in three doses, one dose to be decocted and taken each day, to be drunk on an empty stomach in the morning Remember, the heat should be controlled at a moderate level. If it’s too strong, it will cause the medicinal properties to be lost.”

James nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

Ken, who was nearby, frowned. “What do you mean by that? Are you not personally coming to decoct the medicine in the next few days? Are you afraid that if you can’t cure it, we will blame you for the responsibility?”

“You… Why do you have to speak so harshly Melody said, curling the comer of her mouth. “I have some family issues in the next few days. and I might not be able to come out, so I’m telling James in advance. As long as I can get out, I will come myself.”

Ken asked suspiciously, “What kind of issues would your family have?”

“It’s nothing for you to worry about. Just know that after taking these three doses of medicine, the illness will surely be cured, Melody said.

Then, slapping her forehead, she added, “Oh, by the way, for the next three days, your grandma will still vomit blood after taking the medicine, but the color of the blood will be lighter. By the last day, it’s estimated that what she vomits will have no blood color at all So, if Margaret vomits blood these days, you don’t need to panic. Just wait for the blood color to be completely vomited out, Melody spoke earnestly, but Here’s expression became even more suspicious.

Noticing his gaze. Melody naked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ken shook his head. “I just feel like you’re settling your affairs.”

You. Can you say something more auspicious? You better shut und” Melody said, exasperated and rolling her eyes.

James, listening to Melody’s words, was so frightened that his heart almost stopped.

Melody was the first person in the world who dared to speak to Ken in such a tone, not even the chairman would speak to Ken in such a manner.

Then, when James looked at Ken’s face, he saw that Ken was not angry but seemed to have a faint smile. A smile?

James was shocked internally. “What’s going on with Mr. Ken? He’s being scolded and he can still what’s happening to the world? It’s so surreal.

“It’s good that you’re not settling your funeral,” Ken said seriously. “Otherwise, if Grandma has an accident, I wouldn’t be able to find anyone to be responsible.”

Melody pursed her lips. If she hadn’t understood Ken a bit more in the past few days, she would probably be furious now.

“I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going back first. My family is probably in chaos now, and I have to hurry back to play the opera.”

“Play the opera?

“You don’t need to understand. I’m leaving bye–bye!” She waved her hand and was about to step outside.

“Wait a moment. Ken suddenly stepped forward, blocking her way.

“I’ll take you back.”

His tone was very firm, leaving no room for refusal.

Melody was more than happy to have a free driver and didn’t refuse, nodding and saying, “Then thank you, Mr. Ken.”

Ken gave her a cool look, turned around, and walked outside, not forgetting to instruct James, “Guard well, and don’t let even a mosquito in.

“Yes!” James straightened up and responded, but his heart was already racing.

‘Crazy, Ken has gone crazy, he wondered.

On the way, Melody was about to close her eyes for a rest when her phone suddenly rang.

She had only received this phone after returning to Silverlake. Maria had bought it for her, and not many people knew her number.

Who could be calling?

Melody opened her eyes and looked at her phone, seeing Wilmot’s name displayed on the incoming call.

She quickly answered, asking as soon as she picked up, Mr. Sherman, has something happened at the store?

However…

No, the store is doing very well. We had a fashion show yesterday, and all our interns participated, making a small fortune. I wanted to ask Boss Shi to treat me to a meal as a reward.

The store used a cash register system, so Melody could check the daily revenue through her phone every day.

And yesterday’s earnings had reached several thousand dollars. Even if Wilmot hadn’t mentioned it, she would have treated him to a meal.

Melody glanced at the time, confirmed it was still early, and agreed with a smile. Sure you choose the place, and I’ll head there now.

Let’s meet at the Pearl Revolving Restaurant. it’s quite expensive there. Are you willing to pay, Melody?

There’s nothing unwilling about it. I’m setting off now.

Okay!

After ending the call, Melody suddenly felt a chilly draft.

Instinctively, she looked to her side and saw Ken staring at her with a gloomy expression.

What’s wrong… For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Nothing. Ken withdrew his gaze and looked ahead, speaking indifferently. To the Pearl Revolving Restaurant?

Mmmm…If you think it’s troublesome, you can just drop me off on the side of the road. I can take a taxi…

Not troublesome at all. Ken stepped on the gas, and Melody almost let out a startled cry.

With a swift drive, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the Peral Revolving Restaurant.

And Ken’s expression did not ease a bit.

Melody couldn’t help but ask, what’s wrong with you?

She didn’t feel like she had upset Mr. Ken today.
