Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

"Mrs. Nichols Sr., are you heading to the hospital to see Mr. Nichols? I've prepared everything you asked for," Sophie replied. She had gotten the soup ready. But Melody headed back to the bedroom and pulled out a pill from the drawer.

Sophie didn't quite understand what was happening. Melody dropped the pill into the soup. Slowly, it dissolved without a trace. "Mrs. Nichols Sr., what is this for?"

"Get all the bodyguards here. They're to escort me to the hospital."

"Got it."

In the hospital room, Juan had been waiting for over an hour, but Joe still hadn't come back.

It was not normal, given how efficient Joe always was.

Juan suspiciously got up from the bed and headed toward the door when footsteps echoed from the hallway.

"Mr. Nichols is resting inside," the doctor said respectfully.

Melody hummed in acknowledgment, and as she glanced up, her eyes locked on Juan standing at the door. "Grandma?" Juan muttered in surprise.

"Juan, I came to check on you," Melody said graciously.

Turning to the doctor, she grumbled, "How can you let him get out of bed with his injuries? Get him back."

Juan frowned, realizing something wasn't right. He sneered, "Grandma, why did you bring so many people?"

"I'm just making sure you don't wander off, my dear. You wouldn't want to end up stuck in a wheelchair like Andrew Potter," Melody replied, coming up to guide Juan back to the ward.

Juan glanced around and realized those were all Melody's bodyguards. Knowing he couldn't leave now, Juan decided to play along and wait for Joe to come back. Melody passed the thermos jug to him. "I asked Sophie to make some soup for you. Have a try."

Juan found it hard to decline the offer. He took it and had a spoon of the soup.

Melody sighed softly. "Your father loved this soup. It's a shame I'm getting too old to cook as often as I did."

The mention of his father instilled in Juan a sense of guilt. No matter what, Melody raised him.

Melody looked at him and asked, "Joe told me you were going to Flesta to find Debra. Is that true?"

Juan's head snapped up in shock. He never expected Joe to sell him out.

Melody continued, "Debra is a walking disaster. Your father was ruined by your mother, and they died together. Unlike him, you always make me proud. I will never let you throw your life and career away for her.

Juan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

His vision blurred as Melody added, "You need to stay in the hospital and recover. I take care of the company. When your leg heals and you regain your senses, I'll retu everything to you. You're still the rightful heir."
