Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Melody, You Have a Fever!
Adrian looked coldly at Daniel Lee, his piercing gaze filled with a murderous desire: "Get out!"
Daniel Lee didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately ran out.
After racing out of the CEO’s office, Daniel Lee wiped away his non-existent cold sweat, deeply suspecting that if he’d run just a bit slower, his head might not have stayed firmly on his shoulders.
...
As for Melody Parker, after breaking free from Adrian’s grip, she ran off in a panic.
She didn’t know where she was headed; she just knew she had to leave, to escape this dangerous place.
Luckily, her escape was smooth and unhindered.
Only after running out of the Davies Group, and reaching the bustling, crowded street, did Melody Parker’s heart continue to race wildly.
She didn’t know if it was because of the intense running or the aftermath of the encounter with the man she had kicked and slapped.
But she did know that she had indeed kicked the man in his vital parts and even slapped him hard across the face.
Thinking back, that tyrannical and petty dinosaur must be extremely annoyed, right?
Surely, he would want nothing more than to kill her on the spot!
It was over, it was truly a moment of impulsive satisfaction!
Now she was really doomed!
That man, who would often explode for no apparent reason, wouldn’t just outright blacklist her, would he?
Shouldn’t be that bad, right?
After all, she only gave him a small taste of his own medicine for his misdeeds.
Walking down the busy street, Melody Parker felt a surge of guilt.
She didn’t know, after her impulsive actions, what awaited her, nor whether that man would immediately terminate her contract?
But if the contract ended, so be it; she didn’t care to collaborate with such a domineering, madman anyway.
Just as long as she wasn’t blacklisted.
She had a child to raise, so being blacklisted was absolutely not an option!
Forget it, since what’s done is done, what good is worrying now?
Besides, that wasn’t her personality at all.
Melody Parker stopped dwelling on it, hailed a cab, and swiftly left the place of trouble.
Back at the apartment, lying down and closing her eyes, Melody Parker’s heart was still beating fiercely.
She didn’t want to think about it.
Yet the image of that man’s bloodshot eyes, his furious, ravenous expression, and the pained, shockingly disbelieving look on his face after she kicked him wouldn’t leave her mind no matter how hard she tried to dismiss it...
In this way, who knows how much time passed before Melody Parker gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Due to not having fully recovered, and the fear that propelled her flight this time, she slept right through Benjamin’s school dismissal and didn’t wake up.
Benjamin pushed open the apartment door, first glancing to see if Melody’s slippers were on the shoe rack.
Seeing they weren’t, his little face broke into a satisfied smile.
It seemed Melody had obediently taken the time to rest properly.
Initially, he worried that once he left for school, Melody would disregard her health and rush out to work again.
The room was very quiet, without any sound.
"Could it be that Melody is still sleeping?" Benjamin changed into his little slippers and headed straight to Melody Parker’s bedroom.
He opened the bedroom door and saw Melody Parker still lying in bed, sound asleep.
"Melody, why are you still sleeping? It’s been so long; aren’t you hungry?" Benjamin spoke while walking towards Melody.
His voice was loud, but Melody didn’t react at all.
And even more inexplicable, what happened to Melody’s lips?
She was fine when he left in the morning!
"Melody, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Benjamin wore a worried expression as he stretched out his little hand to feel Melody’s flushed cheek.
Oh my God, why is she so hot?
Melody has a fever!
Benjamin was extremely anxious, quickly reaching out to shake Melody Parker while softly calling out, "Melody, wake up, you’re running a fever, we need to go to the hospital!"
Melody remained in a deep sleep, completely unresponsive to Benjamin’s calls.
Benjamin didn’t dare delay and immediately dialed Barrett Carter’s phone, "Hurry up, my mom has a fever!"
"Don’t worry, Boss, I’m coming right away!"
Soon after hanging up, Barrett Carter appeared in Melody Parker’s bedroom.
Barrett Carter’s figure was tall and robust.
Standing a little over six feet tall, dressed sharply in black.
With an indifferent demeanor and a handsome face, he looked just like a cold-blooded killer straight out of a comic book.
Seeing Barrett show up, Benjamin immediately spoke, "Barrett, quickly carry Melody and take her to the hospital!"
"Alright!" Barrett stepped forward, leaned down, and effortlessly scooped up the unconscious Melody Parker, swiftly heading outside.
Despite not running, he carried Melody at a very rapid pace with steady steps.
He placed her directly into the Range Rover he drove, closing the door before Benjamin could catch up, then drove straight to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, and after examinations, Melody Parker was found to have a high fever of forty degrees.
Melody was immediately hospitalized, and when Benjamin rushed to catch up, he was deeply distressed seeing his mom lying in the hospital bed.
He looked at Barrett, who stood nearby, with a cold, stern expression on his young face and asked, "Where did Melody go today?"
His scrutinizing tone already concluded that Melody had gone out while he was away.
Barrett, always shadowing Melody for protection, naturally knew her whereabouts.
Hearing Benjamin’s inquiry, he promptly replied, "This afternoon, Miss went to the Davies Group, but when she left, she looked very flustered. I suppose the CEO of the Davies gave her a hard time."
Benjamin’s dark eyes, like black obsidian, radiated a sharp, cold light.
The Davies’ CEO, his so-called father?
Hah, great!
He thinks being his biological dad makes him special?
In his eyes, it doesn’t matter who it is; bullying Melody is absolutely unacceptable! Even if he were the King of Heaven!
...
Over on Adrian’s side, after spending a while in the office, his physical pain slightly subsided.
Thinking of the woman who provoked him and then fled, Adrian’s teeth ached with hatred.
Did that woman think kicking him would leave her unscathed?
Ha, then she’s gravely mistaken!
Adrian, face dark as a storm cloud, took out his phone and called Patrick Faris, "Go to Imperial Vista Garden immediately and watch Melody, see if there are any suspicious individuals, and observe what she’s up to!"
"Yes, CEO!"
After hanging up, Patrick Faris went straight to Melody’s building at Imperial Vista Garden to keep watch.
Then, Adrian summoned Daniel Lee, "You have ten minutes to restore this place to its original state!"
Receiving the order, Daniel Lee quickly gathered people to tidy up.
Because of Adrian’s presence, the atmosphere in the entire office was frozen, condensed, suffocatingly thin.
In this environment, Daniel Lee and his staff finally restored the CEO’s desk to its original state within ten minutes.
