Chapter 788
“Move to Herbathrive?”
“Yes, the staff dormitory near Herbathrive. A few of our staff dormitories are still empty, but the environment is definitely not as good as your original apartment. However, the advantage is that Herbathrive’s staff and I can help you take care of Ford Nelson. He can come to Herbathrive for three meals a day… This way, he won’t feel bored alone and can guarantee his safety.”
Zack Nelson immediately nodded. “Okay, when Grandpa is discharged from the hospital, I’ll immediately move to Herbathrive dorm with him.”
Melody Fox reminded him, “For Ford Nelson, moving is indeed beneficial, but Herbathrive is a short drive away from Ximber Tech. I’m afraid you’ll have to sacrifice more sleep in the future.”
“This is nothing,” Zack Nelson said firmly. “This is the best arrangement.”
“Alright, since you have no objections, I’ll tell Ken Swanson later. I’ll also get him to arrange bodyguards for you and Ford Nelson to ensure your safety.”
Zack Nelson nodded and raised a question about Janet Murphy.
“I haven’t seen Miss Murphy in a long time. I can’t contact her either. Do you know her current situation?”
“Janet Murphy, huh…”
Hearing Janet Murphy’s name, Melody even felt a little dazed.
It had only been less than a month since Janet Murphy’s incident, but she actually felt like a century had passed.
It was probably because the Murphy family had suppressed Janet Murphy’s matter so much that no one knew about it except for a few of them.
However, when Sid Quant’s body recovered completely, Sebastian Quant would definitely start a war with the Murphy family.
By then, everyone would know about Janet Murphy’s crime. But how should she tell Zack Nelson about this?
Zack Nelson observed Melody’s expression and knew that it was not something good. He cleverly changed the topic and said, “Ximber Tech’s heaviest product, X-series, will be on the market next month. At that time, Mr. Swanson will definitely appear. Please pass on a message to Mr. Swanson to be mentally prepared for everyone to know that he is Ximber Tech’s boss.”
Zack Nelson was relieved that he did not have to organize his words.
Melody nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll tell him. Take good care of Ford today. I’ll arrange for someone to be his nurse.
“Yes, sorry to trouble you.”
After leaving the hospital, Melody went straight back to Herbathrive.
As soon as she entered the door of Herbathrive, Melodysaw Beverly Herbert was busy in the pharmaceutical hall.
Melody’s face lit up.
“Beverly?”
Beverly Herbert was also very happy to see her. She took a few steps forward and held her hand affectionately.
“Melody, I’m back from the hospital.”
“When? Why didn’t you tell me? I could have come to pick you up.”
The smile on Beverly Herbert’s face became even gentler. Her tone was even a little heartbroken as she said, “Colin said that you’re very busy. There’s no need to trouble you with such a small matter. Look at you. How long has it been? You’re so thin that my heart aches just looking at you.”
Melody smiled. “I didn’t lose weight. Actually, I’m a little heavier.”
This was true. When she had time, she would train her body and consciously increase the strength of her muscles.
The body fat turned into muscles. It looked tight and thin, but in fact, it had gained weight.
Beverly Herbert did not care about this. She muttered, “It’s not good for a girl to be too thin. I have to think of a way to fatten you up. It’s better to be slightly fat.”
Melody was about to speak when Colin Herbert came from the backyard.
Melody!
“Colin, Uncle!”
The two of them almost repeated their conversation. Colin Herbert also thought that she had lost weight because of Herbathrive.
No matter how hard he tried, Colin Herbert did not continue this topic.
He lowered his voice and asked, “The person recuperating in the backyard is…?”
“He’s my bodyguard. He was injured in an accident previously. However, he’s different from ordinary bodyguards. I can’t tell you in detail about his identity.”
“Understood. No wonder when I asked the others, they couldn’t tell me his identity. Anyway, it’s good that he’s your man. I’m just afraid that Michael Hudson will make a comeback.”
“Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with Michael Hudson.”
Hearing Colin Herbert talk about something else, Beverly Herbert tightened her grip on the rag in her hand and said, “I’ Il continue to clean up. You guys chat.”
“Beverly… You’ve just been discharged from the hospital. Let the cleaners do these things.”
Melody Fox hurriedly tried to stop her, but she was stopped by Colin Herbert.
“Just let her be. She’s already recovered. She’s going to rot in the hospital. How can she stay idle when she comes back? Let her be. Just treat it as dismissing her. She’ll stop when she’s tired. You don’t have to worry too much.”
Melody nodded and explained the changes to Herbathrive to Colin Herbert.
“There are eleven new people in the clinic. Half of them are ready for consultation, and the rest are still learning. As for our emergency department, we’ve recruited all of them. They all jumped ship from a small hospital…”
While Melody Fox was handing over her work to Colin Herbert, the employees of Herbathrive could not help but gather together and whisper worriedly.
“Mr. Herbert is back. Will Miss Fox’s position be awkward?”
“You’re thinking the same thing as me. Miss Fox’s ability is so strong. When Mr. Herbert comes back, will he chase her away first? Is he afraid that we’ll only listen to Miss Fox?”
“Sigh, if that’s really the case, I’ll be so conflicted. I don’t know who to follow.”
Coincidentally, David Marrow passed by. When he heard the discussion, he walked over with a frown.
“What are you talking about? This won’t happen to Master and Miss Fox. Don’t worry.”
Everyone was shocked and quickly shut up with a smile.
However, there was also a bold one who couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Marrow, are you sure? What if…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Colin Herbert waved his hand impatiently at Melody Fox.
Because they were not close, they could not hear what Colin Herbert said. They only saw Melody Fox’s expression change and she kept shaking her head.
Everyone’s hearts were instantly in their throats.
“No way. Is Mr. Herbert really this kind of person who burns bridges after crossing them?”
“Don’t forget that when Michael Hudson left, Ms Fox didn’t hesitate at all.
The surrounding people’s words made David Marrow, who was originally very determined, nervous.
Master… shouldn’t be that kind of person…
If he had to choose between his master or Miss Fox, he would rather explode on the spot.
Just as David Marrow was about to explode with a headache, Colin Herbert and Melody Fox walked towards them one after another.
Everyone’s hearts tightened.
Colin Herbert said emotionlessly, “Everyone, those who don’ t have work on hand, come to the conference room on the second floor. I have something to announce.”
David Marrow’s face turned pale. He took a few steps forward and said, “Master, what do you want to announce?”
Colin Herbert waved his hand.
“You’ll find out in a minute. Gather the men. We have a meeting in ten minutes.”
David Marrow had no choice but to nod in agreement. “Yes…”
