Chapter 836

“Don’t say that!” Sid Quant said anxiously, “That’s why I’m here. Brother Ken, just give me some work. I’ve been staying in the hospital for a while now and I’m going to be moldy. If I lie down any longer, mushrooms will grow on my bed! Also, Ximber Tech’s X-series product is going to be on the market soon. The company is probably busy now. I can go back and make them relax a little…”

Ken Swanson was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he gave Melody Fox a look.

Melody Fox immediately understood. She took two steps forward and took Sid Quant’s hand to take his pulse.

About a minute later, Melody Fox let go of his hand and said, “You can do some work, but you can’t work too hard, especially not doing any strenuous exercise.”

Sid Quant’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Brother Ken, did you hear that? Since Melody has already said so, let me go back to work! I’ll go back and hit the keyboard to see if there are any problems with the product that need adjustment. I won’t be tired.”

Ken Swanson sighed and relented. “You can go back to work, but you can only work three hours a day. When you reach the three hours, you have to go home and rest.”

Sid Quant nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

“Yes, yes, yes. I promise I won’t exceed three hours. If I exceed one minute, you’ll punish me by making me unable to get out of bed for three days!”

Ken Swanson raised an eyebrow. “Then it’s settled. Go back and rest today. You can go to Future Technology tomorrow afternoon.”

“Don’t… I have another personal matter.”

Sid Quant looked at Melody Fox and said, “Melody, Fox, I was discharged from the hospital today, and learned from my father that the blood transfusion from my operation that day was not enough. It was a friend of yours who lost her blood to me. I want to thank your friend.”

As Sid Quant spoke, he pointed at the stone table beside him and said, “Look, I brought my gifts over, but I asked Herbathrive once and they said that they didn’t know who gave me the blood transfusion.”

Melody Fox took a look and realized that the gifts were all very expensive. Moreover, it seemed that Sid Quant did not know if the person who gave him the blood transfusion was a man or a woman, so the gifts he bought were all suitable for both men and women.

She smiled bitterly and said, “It’s hard on you to have such thoughts, but I’m afraid your trip was in vain.”

“What do you mean?”

“The person who gave you the blood transfusion was not from Herbathrive. It was… a female celebrity.”

Sid Quant’s eyes instantly widened. His pupils trembled as he asked, “W…-what? A female celebrity? How do you know a female celebrity…”

Before he could finish speaking, Sid Quant suddenly remembered that Melody Fox was indeed very close to a female artiste previously. He even specially went to visit the other party’s production team.

When they went to visit, he had a vague impression of her.

“I think her name is… Zara Wentworth, right? That’s the name, right?”

Melody Fox nodded.

“Yes, she called Zara Wentworth, but she told me yesterday that she accepted an endorsement and is filming at Insterimond. I’m afraid she hasn’t returned to Silverlake yet. If you want to thank her in person, you’ll have to wait for a few days.”

“It’s fine. There’s no hurry. Let me know when she comes back.”

“Okay.”

Melody Fox agreed, but she knew in his heart that with Zara Wentworth’s personality, she would probably reject Sid Quant’s gratitude in person.

However, this was a matter between Sid Quant and Zara Wentworth after all. She decided not to express her opinion on Zara Wentworth’s behalf.

After the two of them finished chatting, Melody Fox turned around and saw Ken Swanson sitting at the stone table and gnawing on her roasted lamb leg.

There were two lamb legs in total, and they were all roasted. There were too many dishes for lunch, so everyone only ate one.

The remaining lamb leg went into Ken Swanson’s stomach before he could finish it.

However, he still wanted more.

“Is there anything else?”

Melody Fox quickly stopped Ken Swanson, who was about to continue looking for food.

“Just eat this much. You don’t have a good stomach. You can’t eat too much of this greasy stuff.”

Ken Swanson was more obedient than Sid Quant. He nodded obediently when he heard Melody Fox’s words.

“Alright, I won’t eat anymore. But…” Ken Swanson said hesitantly, “My stomach seems to be a little better than before. I drank so much last night, but I don’t feel any stomachache today.”

If it was before, he would not be able to eat anything all day, let alone eat things like roasted lamb legs.

“Rehabilitation of the stomach? I was adjusting your cough previously. I haven’t had the time to start recuperating your stomach.”

When Sid Quant saw this scene, he clicked his tongue and shook his head. “I made the worst decision to come here today. I’m leaving. I won’t eat your dog food anymore!”

Although he said that, Sid Quant was happy for Ken Swanson from the bottom of his heart.

Ken Swanson had been single for so many years. He was worried that he would die alone.

Now that someone was controlling him and loving him, he did not have to worry about him in the future.

Sid Quant left quickly. Before he left, he did not forget to say, “I’ll give you those gifts. Next time, I’ll buy another one according to Miss Wentworth’s preferences.”

After Sid Quant left, Melody Fox reached out and took Ken Swanson’s pulse.

However, it was fine if she did not take his pulse. When she did, Melody Fox was shocked.

She remembered that the last time she took Ken Swanson’s pulse, his stomach was still very bad. Although it was not serious, it was completely incomparable to a healthy person.

However, after taking his pulse this time, all his ailments were gone.

However, she clearly did not have the time to prescribe a prescription for Ken Swanson to nourish his stomach.

Melody Fox did not believe it and took his pulse seriously again. A few seconds later, Melody Fox suddenly looked up at Ken Swanson.

“What’s wrong?” Ken Swanson was shocked by her gaze. “Am I sick?”

“No, not only are you not sick, but all the small problems related to your stomach have also been cured…”

Ken Swanson was a little stunned, but he immediately joked, “It seems that I’ve married the right wife. I sleep with you every day, and those small problems are all scared away by you.”

However, Melody Fox could not laugh. She asked with a serious expression, “Ken Swanson, have you eaten anything strange these few days? For example… strange-looking little bugs…”

Ken Swanson had originally decided to hide it from Melody Fox. He had eaten the Echoing Worm.

However, since Melody Fox had already asked this question, it meant that she already had a judgment in her heart.

Ken Swanson was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, “Yes. That bug seems to be called Echoing Worm…”

“Echoing Worm?” Melody Fox was even more confused. He tugged at Ken Swanson’s sleeve and asked, “Who gave you this?”

“Well …”

“Tell me the truth. Don’t try to hide it from me!”

Ken Swanson had no choice but to tell her everything that had happened between him and Quentin Parker last night.

After Melody Fox finished listening, she understood everything.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “That’s not an answering bug at all. It’s an excellent medicine to regulate the stomach. That bug was hard to find even with money. Master only has two in total. One was given to me, and the other… is in your stomach now.”

Ken Swanson looked up at her in shock. After a few seconds, he finally understood and said with a bitter smile, “Your master was lying to me…”
