Chapter 850
Sid Quant was skeptical.
“Herbathrive, is there anyone better than you in medical skills? Why haven’t I heard of this before? Are you bluffing me? I, Sid Quant, hate people who lie to me the most in my life.”
Hearing Sid Quant’s tone, if not for the fact that Quentin Parker’s identity had to be kept a secret, Melody Fox would have directly mentioned her master’s name.
She took two deep breaths to calm herself down.
“I swear to God, I’m not lying to you, okay?”
Only then did Sid Quant believe her. He asked, “Why are you going to my hometown? For how long?”
Only then did Melody Fox remember that Sid Quant’s family was in Insterimond.
She replied, “I’m going to buy herbs. Those herbs will only be auctioned at the auction house. However, I still have some private matters to deal with, so I’ll be delayed for a few days.”
“That’s good. I’ll ask my Insterimond brothers to entertain you. I won’t go back. I’m afraid that if I return, I’ll be detained by the old man.”
Melody Fox couldn’t help but laugh. She held her phone tightly and said, “That won’t happen. Your father has changed his opinion of Ken Swanson. He won’t stop contacting you like before. However, it’s good that you stay in Silverlake. Your body still needs to recuperate more to recover faster.”
“Stop talking about my body. My head hurts!” Sid Quant was not in the mood to continue the conversation. He only repeatedly reminded her to bring him for treatment when she came back.
Melody Fox agreed repeatedly and hung up Sid Quant. “Phew…” She let out a deep breath.
She hoped that her master could cure Sid Quant’s side effects. Otherwise, she would probably be annoyed to death by Sid Quant.
Perhaps Sid Quant’s father, Sebastian Quant, would also look for her. After all, for his generation, carrying on the family line was the most important thing.
Melody Fox shook her head and threw away her distracting thoughts as she walked to the eleventh floor of the Inpatient Department.
Ford Nelson was hospitalized on this floor. Looking at the ward, he should be able to be discharged soon.
Melody Fox was about to push the door open and enter when she saw Zack Nelson walking out of the ward with a frown. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
When their eyes met, a hint of surprise flashed across Zack Nelson’s eyes. He immediately suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked, “Miss Fox, why are you here?”
“I’m free now, so I came over to see Ford Nelson. It’s my fault. Nelson Ford is hospitalized here. I should have come over every day to see him,” Melody Fox said apologetically.
Zack Nelson tons of panicked.
“Miss Fox, don’t say that. If you hadn’t saved my grandfather that day, I’m afraid he would have…”
Melody Fox stopped him with a look.
“Don’t say such unlucky words. Ford will live to a hundred years old.”
Zack Nelson nodded.
“I won’t say anymore.”
Melody Fox looked at the half-closed door. He pointed inside and asked, “Did you two quarrel? You didn’t look too good just now.”
Zack Nelson sighed and said, “Didn’t we quarrel? The doctor asked him to stay in the hospital for another three days, but he refused no matter what. He said that the drip had already stopped for two days. It was a waste of money for him to stay here. He even said that the hospital wanted to earn more money from him, so they didn’t let him leave the hospital. I became anxious when I heard that, so I quarreled with him. The hospital has so much money flowing in a day, so why would they care about his hospital fees? People who want to be hospitalized are worried that there aren’t enough beds…”
“Old people are all like this. How would he know how much running water the hospital has?”
Zack Nelson opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.
Seeing that he was still a little unhappy, Melody Fox said patiently, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll go in and take a look first. If he’s almost recovered, I’ll follow his wishes and let him be discharged. Coincidentally, my teacher… a friend of mine has a similar personality to him. After you guys move to Herbathrive, you can let them chat more so that he won’t be bored.”
Zack Nelson’s expression softened.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss Fox.”
Melody Fox patted Zack Nelson’s shoulder and walked over.
The moment they brushed past each other, Zack Nelson was in a daze.
He had a feeling that Melody Fox and Ken Swanson were becoming more and more alike. Even the way they spoke and the way they looked at each other were hard to distinguish.
When he thought about the time, the first time they had just met, he felt embarrassed.
While he was in a daze, Melody Fox had already pushed open the door of the ward and entered.
In the ward, Momma Talia was actively counseling Ford Nelson.
“Uncle Ford, don’t be angry. He’s just worried about your health. Besides, didn’t the doctor say that you can be discharged after another three days of observation? It’s just three days. It’ll pass in the blink of an eye.”
Ford Nelson’s old child was annoyed. When he heard this, he did not even raise his eyelids. Instead, he snorted unhappily.
Momma Talia did not know what to say next. When she looked up and saw someone coming in, she thought that Zack Nelson had returned. In the end, when she saw Melody Fox, her eyes lit up.
With the arrival of Melody Fox, she seemed to have a backbone.
Ford Nelson’s eyes were closed, but when he heard the voice, he thought it was Zack Nelson. He did not open his eyes and only said angrily, “Get out! I don’t want to see you!”
Melody Fox stopped in her tracks and immediately smiled. Ford Nelson, how can you be like this? I’ve just arrived and you’re asking me to leave. I wonder what did I do wrong to make you unhappy?”
Ford Nelson widened his eyes and shouted in surprise, “Melody?! You’ve finally come to see me!”
He looked much happier than when he saw his biological grandson.
Zack Nelson, who was following behind Melody Fox, had a dark expression. He did not want to speak at all.
Melody Fox walked over with a smile. She nodded at Momma Talia before speaking again.
“So you weren’t talking to me just now? Who are you angry with?”
Ford Nelson was not stupid. When he heard this, he pursed his lips and said, “You came together. How can you not know what’s going on? I want to be discharged, but this brat won’t let me! Staying here is like going to jail. Even if I’m not sick, I’ve become sick!”
Melody Fox was not in a hurry. She slowly peeled an apple for Ford Nelson and handed it over. Then, she said, “Grandpa Ford, you don’t know this, but when you were in trouble, Zack wished he could put a pair of wings on himself and fly away. I’ve never seen him speak in that tone.”
Ford Nelson lowered his eyelids.
Melody Fox struck while the iron was hot and continued. He was really frightened, so he wanted you to be observed for a few more days before being discharged. He was kind, but his EQ was too low. He didn’t know how to explain it to you. Zack at the door just now, he regretted quarreling with you.”
Ford Nelson’s expression completely improved.
Melody Fox continued, “Ford, I know it’s boring to be hospitalized. How about this? I’ll take your pulse. If you recover, I’ll do it and let you be discharged tomorrow.”
Ford Nelson’s eyes instantly lit up. He immediately handed his hand over for her to take his pulse.
Behind him, Zack Nelson sighed in his heart.
To deal with such a stubborn old man, it had to be Melody Fox. From the beginning, the old man had been led away by Melody Fox.
He did not know if it was because he had encountered a patient who was equally difficult to talk to in the past that she could coax the other party’s gloomy mood to instantly turn sunny.
