Chapter 827
Melody Fox was amused.
How could she not know what Mabel Fox was capable of?
If it wasn’t for her, Mabel wouldn’t have been qualified for the assessment at all.
She said leisurely, “Then let’s wait and see. Let her participate in the assessment as usual. Pretend that nothing happened tonight.”
Since Ander Morgan saw Melody was so certain, he was even more confused.
Originally, he planned to officially start the assessment next month after he was done with the matters at hand.
However, he was suddenly very curious about what Melody had said. He calculated the date of the early assessment in his heart.
Melody observed Ander Morgan’s expression. Seeing that he did not seem to have anything to say, she took out a piece of paper that she had prepared in advance from her pocket.
“And this is?”
Ander Morgan reached out to take it. He took a look and realized that it was a prescription.
Melody explained, “Tonight at the banquet, I took the time to take Lucas’s pulse. Previously, he was seriously injured and his pulse was in a mess. Some things could not be seen, so I took his pulse carefully today.”
Ander Morgan’s heart tensed up.
“It’s Lucas’s body…”
Melody quickly shook her head. “It’s not a big problem. He just has a little insufficient Vitality. It shouldn’t be like this at this age, so his body is very deficient. I still have to make up for it.”
Ander Morgan was extremely excited.
“What happens if you can’t make up for it?”
“That’s hard to say… but it’s not a pulse that can last long.”
Ander Morgan’s face immediately turned pale.
“How did this happen…”
Melody said seriously, “I’ve thought about the reason. It should be because there’s something radioactive at home. That’s why he’s weak all year round and gets into trouble every few days.”
“What could emit radiation?” Ander Morgan was shocked.
“The last time I went to borrow equipment at home, I saw many strange-looking stones near the rockery in your backyard. I thought that something was wrong with it, but I didn’t see anything wrong with it. In addition, when I went on a business trip, I didn’t mention this to Lucas. However, I thought about it tonight. Something in that pair of stones should be radioactive.”
Ander Morgan gripped the prescription in his hand tightly and said, “I’ll get an instrument to test it when I get back.”
“Yes, you have to hurry up with this matter. Otherwise, your bodies will collapse soon.”
“I understand. Melody, thank you so much…”
Melody smiled. “Dad, you’re too kind. We’re family from now on.
You don’t have to thank me.”
Ander Morgan nodded seriously.
Melody continued, “Godmother mentioned to me before that there’s a master who once read Lucas’s fortune. I suspect that there’s something wrong with that master too. If there’s a time, we can also investigate from this aspect.”
Ander Morgan’s eyelids twitched. He said, “You think the radiation incident was not an accident?”
‘Right. But that’s just my guess and reasoning, too.’
Ander Morgan sucked in a cold breath. He felt a sharp pain and his back was covered in cold sweat.
Who exactly wanted to harm their family?!
On Ken Swanson’s side.
After he found an excuse to send David Marrow away, he went straight to the point. “Divine Doctor Li, I know that what you said to me tonight was to test me and see what kind of person I am.”
Quentin Parker raised his eyebrows and said, “So?”
Quentin Parker’s attitude still looked arrogant, but Ken Swanson’s heart was filled with joy.
If Quentin Parker was willing to take over, there was still a chance. There was still room for negotiation.
He quickly said seriously, “The reason why you tested me was also because of Melody’s happiness. I don’t know what kind of image I have in your heart in the end, and I’ve never dared to say that I’m a perfect person, but there’s one thing I can swear to you. I swear to the heavens and everything in the world. I’m sincere to Melody. In this life, as long as I, Ken Swanson, am still alive, I will never let her down!”
Quentin Parker was silent for a moment. His idle and arrogant expression slowly dissipated.
He finally revealed his true expression-serious, meticulous, and powerful. He did not look like the arrogant old urchin from before at all.
Almost two minutes later, Quentin Parker spoke again.
“How can I believe that you’re telling the truth? Melody’s appearance isn’t very good. How can someone like you like her? If you want me to believe that you really love her and not her medical skills and abilities, you have to show some sincerity.”
Ken Swanson clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his arms bulging.
“I’ve never been a person who cares about appearances. But since you’ve said so, you should have thought of how to make me show my sincerity. Tell me, I’ll definitely do it.”
Quentin Parker returned to his arrogant self and slowly took out a box from his pocket.
The box was transparent, and one could clearly see what was inside.
Ken Swanson looked down and saw a translucent thing that looked like an insect egg in the box. However, the insect egg was as big as a fingernail. Ken Swanson immediately thought of the Gu worm from Miaojiang that Ramon Swanson had given to Melody Fox.
Quentin Parker played with the box and said, “This bug is also called the Echoing Worm. It is not harmful to the body, but as long as I drive it, it can make people feel heart-wrenching pain until they die from the unbearable pain.”
Ken Swanson was stunned.
“Do you know about the Gu worms in Miaojiang?”
Quentin snorted disdainfully from the tip of his nose.
“That’s all left over from my little experiment days ago.”
“Then you’re thinking of…?”
“Eat it.” Quentin Parker leaned closer to Ken Swanson and said, “As long as you dare to eat it, I will believe that you truly love Melody and will never let her down in this lifetime. However, you have to think carefully. Once you betray her tone day, I will activate this answer bug.”
Quentin Parker urged, “Do you dare to eat it or not?”
“I’ll eat!”
As soon as Ken Swanson finished speaking, he did not say anything else. Without any hesitation, he took the egg and swallowed the translucent Echoing Worm.
Disgust filled his entire body, making him, a clean freak, want to vomit immediately.
But he tried to hold it in. Because he was holding back nausea, his hands were clenched into fists.
Quentin Parker raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled.
“Kid, you’re… interesting.”
Ken Swanson suppressed the nausea in his stomach and said, “I’ll take it as a compliment. Now… are you willing to accept me?”
“Hmph.” Quentin snorted and said, “I still have to see how you perform in the future. However, I can write off tonight’s matter in my heart.”
Ken Swanson quickly bowed.
“Thank you, Divine Doctor Li!”
Quentin pouted. “Don’t get used to calling me that. Call me Doctor Mu in the future.”
“Yes, Dr. Mu.”
Only then did Quentin Parker feel better.
He waved his hand and said, “I’m tired. You can leave!”
Ken Swanson was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he left Quentin Parker a contact number before turning around to look for Melody.
