Chapter 796
Astrid Swanson almost cried out in shock when her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Fortunately, she quickly realized that the person holding her hand was none other than her son, Ulric Swanson.
She quickly exhaled twice and forced herself to be calm as she asked, “Son, what’s wrong?”
Ulric Swanson frowned and stared at her. He mouthed, What exactly happened?”
How could Astrid Swanson tell the truth?
She could only force a stiff smile and pretend not to understand what Ulric Swanson said.
“Son, I’m fine. I’m not poisoned. Don’t worry…'”
Ulric Swanson could clearly feel that Astrid Swanson was hiding something from him, and this matter did not seem to be small. It might even be related to Melody being poisoned.
However, the hall was abnormally quiet at this moment. He could not ask and could only try his best to hold it in.
The veins on his forehead were bulging.
“Sir.”
A bodyguard from Ramon Swanson came in from outside and said, “There are too many tests. We need at least an hour before the results are out.”
Ramon Swanson nodded and ordered, “Before the results are out, no one is allowed to leave the manor! Call everyone in the manor over now and ask them to gather here. If they don’t come, just arrest them as suspects!”
“Yes!”
The bodyguard took the order and left.
Margaret Swanson was worried about Melody’s health.
“The others can stay, but Melody, let her go to the hospital first. Also, Ken, let him accompany Melody.”
“Yes.” Ramon Swanson naturally would not refute Margaret Swanson’s meaning.
In addition, Melody was the only one who was poisoned. She was the least suspicious. She could totally go to the hospital for treatment first.
“Take your wife to the hospital for treatment. Come back as soon as you’re done.”
“I know.”
Ken Swanson helped Melody up. In the next second, he carried her horizontally and strode out of the villa.
As soon as he got into the car, Melody instantly felt the pressure emanating from Ken Swanson.
He was angry.
Sure enough, after Ken Swanson ordered Aaron Berg to drive to First Hospital, he looked at her with a serious expression.
“Speak! What’s going on!”
Melody sat up straight and said guiltily, “Don’t you know? Everything is going according to plan.”
“You know that’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Then I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Melody’s eyes flickered, not daring to meet Ken Swanson’s gaze.
Ken Swanson reached out and pinched her chin with two fingers, forcing her to look into his eyes.
“If you don’t understand, then I’ll make it clear. We agreed to pretend to be poisoned. What happened to you just now? Why did you vomit blood! Blood can’t be acted out!”
Melody Fox knew that she could not hide it, so she could only give up.
“I’m not a professional actor. I was afraid that if I only acted, no one would believe me or suspect me, so after I got the cake, I ate a homemade poison that would vomit black blood…”
With his guess confirmed, Ken Swanson’s expression was extremely ugly. The atmosphere was like a dark cloud covering the moon. It was extremely oppressive.
Melody was most afraid of Ken Swanson’s expression. It was as if he wanted to beat her up.
She quickly explained herself, “That poison isn’t very poisonous, and I’ve already taken the antidote just now, When I get to the hospital later, I’m afraid the poison in my body won’t be detected at all. I only did that to ensure my safety.”
“Besides, as you can see, your father called a family doctor. That doctor has some medical skills and knows how to take pulses. If I hadn’t taken the poison just now, he would definitely have discovered…”
Ken Swanson said resentfully, “Do you think I didn’t consider those things and let you take the risk to act?”
“W-What do you mean?”
“The family doctor is one of us!”
“… Haha.”
Melody Fox laughed awkwardly and made a final struggle. That’s still the safest…”
“Melody Fox!”
Ken Swanson called out her full name word by word.
Melody had goosebumps all over her body. She shrunk her neck and did not dare to look Ken Swanson in the eye. “Look at me!”
Under pressure, Melody could only muster up the courage to look at Ken Swanson.
The expression in his eyes was unprecedentedly serious.
“I’ve said it more than once. No matter what, your safety is the most important. Have you ever listened to me?”
If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have had tonight’s plan!
“Even if you’ve already cured the poison, the damage to your body is real. If you still don’t take your body seriously, I won’t tell you anything in the future. I won’t let you participate in any plans either, in case you act on your own and don’t cherish your life!”
Melody’s heart tightened.
She knew that Ken Swanson was not joking, so she quickly promised and swore.
“I won’t do this again! I’ll tell you everything in advance. I swear! Don’t be angry…”
Ken Swanson closed his eyes and took a deep breath. In the end, he could not calm down so quickly. He said, Reflect on yourself.” Then, he looked away expressionlessly. Fortunately, just as she had said, after the various checkups at the hospital, the results showed that other than the fact that she was a little weak, she was fine.
Coincidentally, the doctor in the emergency department knew that she was “Wilona Knowles” and very responsibly prescribed her a bunch of supplements.
“Dr. Knowles, you have to take good care of your body. You’ re our hospital’s living signboard now! Don’t think that your weak body isn’t a disease, but if you’re too weak, it’s easy to cause other problems because of your low immunity. Alright, I won’t say anything else. You’re a divine doctor. You know better than me.”
Melody Fox sensed the cold gaze of the man beside her and smiled stiffly.
“Thank you for the reminder. I’ll be careful.”
After returning to the car, Ken Swanson scolded her again.
Melody repeatedly promised with a cheeky smile. Only then did his expression soften a little, but he was still not too happy.
After half an hour, the car returned to the Swanson family’s Manor.
Coincidentally, the test results for the poison were out.
The two groups of people entered the villa almost at the same time.
“Melody, are you alright? What did the doctor say?”
Margaret Swanson took a few steps forward and asked.
Melody quickly replied, “I’m fine now. The doctor prescribed some medicine and supplements. I’ll be fine after resting for two days.”
Ken Swanson added, “Fortunately, her medical skills are good. She always brought along the antidote. Otherwise, I’m afraid something big would have happened.”
Margaret Swanson was terrified when he heard that. She put her palms together and said, “Amitabha, God bless…”
Ramon Swanson also gave a few reminders, but compared to Margaret Swanson’s sincere concern, Ramon Swanson seemed much more fake.
Melody’s heart was like the Sun and Moon Mirror, but she still put on a grateful expression.
She observed Astrid Swanson’s expression from the corner of her eye and saw that Astrid Swanson seemed to have lost her soul as she stared blankly in a certain direction.
As for Ulric Swanson, Melody, he could tell that he did not know the exact situation at all, but he had vaguely guessed something, so his face was filled with anxiety.
However, this anxiety was probably not because he was worried about Astrid Swanson, but because he was afraid that he would be implicated.
