Chapter 785

“Forty degrees…” Spencer gasped, and Melody’s eyes darkened.

At Ford Nelson’s age, under normal circumstances, even if one had a fever, it would be very difficult for them to have such a high temperature.

At a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, even a strong young man would not be able to last for more than a few days.

And Ford Nelson was clearly not just starting to burn. Melody was sure that if she had come a little later, Ford Nelson would have been gone.

“Should we send him to the hospital immediately?” Spencer asked.

“Call the ambulance back first. They have more professional equipment in the car.”

Melody said as she rummaged through the first aid kit again.

When she saw a box of phenobarbital, her eyes lit up. The drug has an effect on high blood pressure and also has a good anticonvulsant effect on high fever and seizures.

To the current Ford Nelson, it was simply a life-saving medicine.

Melody quickly poured a glass of water. She held the back of Ford Nelson’s head with one hand and tried her best to feed him the medicine.

After doing this, she rummaged through the fridge in the house.

Zack Nelson’s house was not big, but fortunately, she had everything she needed. She quickly made a simple ice pack and helped Ford Nelson cool down physically.

“Miss Fox.” Spencer took a few steps forward and said, “The ambulance is already on its way here. It should be upstairs in about ten minutes.”

“I understand. Go downstairs and wait. Get them to bring a stretcher up. Ford Nelson won’t have the strength to walk in this situation.”

“Yes!”

After instructing Spencer, Melody used silver needles to administer acupuncture to Ford again. When the 13th silver needle pierced into an acupuncture point on the neck, a few seconds later, Ford Nelson’s eyelids moved and he finally opened his eyes slowly. “Ford Nelson!” Melody felt relieved.

If he could wake up, Ford’s life would not be in danger. Of course, it was only a temporary solution.

“You…? Melody?” Ford Nelson asked in disbelief, “Am I dreaming? I actually saw you.”

Melody could not help but blame herself.

She had promised Zack Nelson that she would visit Ford Nelson often, but because she was too busy, she did not come even once.

Melody tried her best to suppress her emotions. She swallowed and said, “You’re not dreaming. It’s me. I’m Melody.”

She gently held Ford Nelson’s hand. His hand was still hot.

“That’s great. I’m not dreaming…”

Ford Nelson pursed his lips, but he realized that his body was too weak. He did not even have the strength to smile. He could not help but ask blankly, “What’s wrong with me?” “You have a fever. I’m not too sure about the exact cause of the fever. How are you feeling now? Do you have the strength to tell me what’s wrong with your body?”

Ford Nelson said in a hoarse voice, “My chest is stuffy, I’m dizzy, and I’m not feeling well… Also, my throat hurts. Am I going to die?”

“Don’t think too much. I think you have a fever from the flu.”

Ford Nelson heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was only suffering from the flu.

Although he was already halfway into the grave, he still felt a sense of relief when he heard that he would not die for the time being.

“How many days have you been like this?”

“Let me think…” Ford Nelson was silent for a moment before saying, “It should have started on the first day after Ah Ze went on a business trip. From that day onwards, his throat started to hurt, and then it became more and more uncomfortable.”

Melody was shocked.

“As far as I know, Zack Nelson has been on a business trip for almost a week. Why haven’t you gone to the hospital to take a look?”

Ford Nelson shook his head and said with a complicated expression, “Shen Mei, the nanny said that I just have a common cold and don’t need to go to the hospital. I think that Ah Ze likes to make a fuss. In addition, he’s on a business trip. I don’t want him to worry, so I haven’t gone to the hospital.”

If he went to the hospital, he would definitely have to swipe his card. Zack Nelson would know immediately, so he had been holding on.

Until he didn’t know what was happening, he had completely lost consciousness.

A cold glint flashed across Melody’s eyes. She asked in a low voice, “Shen Mei was hired by Zack Nelson, right? How did she treat you?”

“She’s… just like that. She’s alright.”

Melody frowned.

“Ford Nelson, you’re not telling the truth. I want to hear the truth! I suspect that she’s deliberately dragging your illness to the hospital in a vain attempt to kill you.”

Ford Nelson widened his eyes and said, “It can’t be… Even though she’s a little petty, she’s not that evil.”

“Petty theft?”

“Yes… Last month, I found out that she had taken the family’s cash. However, she had already returned it and apologized to me. She said that her mother was seriously ill and wanted to take it back for emergencies.”

“You didn’t tell Zack Nelson about this, did you?”

“Mm… Cough, cough, cough!”

Melody took a deep breath. She roughly knew what was going on.

She patted Ford Nelson’s shoulder and said, “Close your eyes and rest for a while. The ambulance should be here soon. When we reach the hospital, I’ll get them to give you oxygen. The chest pain and cough will soon ease.”

Ford Nelson nodded, but he did not forget to remind her, that Shen Mei’s family background is a little poor. She’s not a bad girl. Don’t misunderstand her.”

“I know. You should rest first. Leave the rest to me.”

Ford Nelson was indeed tired. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep again.

Melody removed the silver needles from Ford Nelson’s body. She turned around and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

In the living room.

Aaron Berg found a rope from somewhere and tied the nanny to a chair.

The nanny’s mouth was stuffed with a rag, and she glared at Aaron Berg resentfully.

As soon as Melody appeared, the nanny’s gaze immediately shifted to her.

Melody Fox had only seen that gaze on Yolanda Fox.

With just one look, she was sure that the other party was different from what Ford Nelson said. She was definitely not a good person.

The eyes were the windows to the soul. These words were not nonsense.

She walked up to the nanny expressionlessly and tore off the rag in her mouth.

“Save…-“

The nanny immediately wanted to shout for help, but Melody did not say anything else and slapped her hard on the face.

The other party was clearly stunned by her slap. She opened her mouth and looked at her blankly.

“I advise you to be quiet. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up if you make a sound.”

“You…”

Smack!

Another slap landed on the nanny’s face.

This time, the force was obviously stronger than before. The nanny’s left side was swelling at a visible rate.

“Looks like you still don’t know that I’m a person who does what I say. You can’t blame me if I ruin your pretty face.”

The nanny opened her mouth as if she had countless curses to curse.

However, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, the burning pain on her cheek made her hold back and not dare to make another sound.
