I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 490 You Will Treat Me “How did you guess?” Gabriel asked in surprise. “I’ve used my mom’s last name since | was little.”

“The Yorks needed the Frosts’ help in something lately, so I've learned more about them. You've hidden yourself so well,” Melanie said.

Gabriel smirked and said, “I’ve left the family since | was very little and | go home very rarely nowadays. Even if they want to, they won't be able to find out much about me.”

Looks like he had some story too.

Melanie didn’t pursue it. She then led him out and was going to walk him out from the main entrance, but she didn’t expect to see Harlow intimidating Professor Turner in the living room,

forcing him to go treat young master Frost's sickness. “| told you. | tried it a long time ago. The treatment is ineffective,” the professor said impatiently.

“You're an internationally renowned doctor, prodigious even. Just because you couldn't do anything back then doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything right now!” Harlow was being very pushy, trying to force the professor to attempt it.

“It's useless now as well. | still can’t do anything about his sickness now,” the professor explained.

“Why are you being so serious, professor? No one will question your authority. All you need to say is that you've thought of something that could treat his ears, and the Frost family will let you try, right? When they ask you to try, you can then stay behind. A treatment's effectiveness won't show in just a few days or two, right? Then, | can use this chance to see Mr. Frost!” Harlow told him of

his plans. “| won't use my skills to cheat!” the professor said in a serious tone.

“Don’t you care about Melanie? You know how head-strong she is, right? Not only is she staying in my place for free, she’s even going to give birth here. She’s going to pay us back one way or

another, right?”

“But we can’t force her to become our servant, right? So... Won’t you do something on her behalf?” Harlow wasn’t afraid of offending anyone at all. Instead, he had already decided to use the

professor to lie.

Melanie and Gabriel stood at the door, listening to how Harlow was forcing the professor to lie to the Frost family in exchange for some business opportunity...

Melanie lowered her eyes before raising her head and looked at Gabriel. “How do you feel right now? Listen to them trying to con you in person.”

Gabriel let out an icy smile. “I have no feelings for my family’s businesses. When it comes to businesses, using and lying to each other is the heart of it all. Only the fragrance that | blend can bring true happiness to everyone. If they wanted to con us, then it’s a skill to be able to con us in the first place.”

Melanie pouted. Gabriel had always been quite unique with his approach to things.

“But you know, | hate owing people favors. And | accidentally owed you one just now. Maybe you can use this chance to pay me back,” Gabriel suggested as he looked at her.

“What do you mean?” She asked. “Why don’t you come and treat me?” Gabriel’s words were shocking.

“Use the method that they were discussing to con me just now and say that you might have a way to treat my ears. Then, you can stay in my place and let the Yorks discuss cooperation with them.” He suggested without an indifferent attitude.

“But you know that I can’t treat you,” Melanie said.

“What are you afraid of? I’m not asking you to actually cure me anyway.”

Gabriel let out a faint smile. “You can stay at my place for a while. Then, I’ll tell my family that my ears can sometimes hear something. Then, you'll instantly become my family’s benefactor.”

Seeing that Melanie still wanted to refuse, Gabriel waved his hand. “Someone will con me eventually, so I'd rather give you this chance.”

Melanie could feel her eyes becoming red.

Gabriel cared for her. When he heard how Harlow was being so offensive toward her, he also found out that he was staying as a guest in the Yorks’ residence. He wanted her to become the

Yorks’ benefactor as well, all to shut Harlow up.

“You probably know what the reason is when | come over to see you this time. | didn’t want anything more, and | didn’t want you to burden yourself. However, I’m happy to be able to do all this for you.” Gabriel said sincerely.

Melanie gulped. She would be lying if she were to say she wasn’t moved.

But all of this would only make her miss Jeffrey even more. It pained her to feel the longing for ST

She didn’t want to owe anyone anything as well, and so she raised her head and said, “I’m not blending fragrances anymore and am learning about medicine now. Other than inheriting what Professor Turner had taught me, | also have my own understanding when it comes to traditional medicine. Show me all the diagnoses and treatments you went through since you were little. Maybe... | really might be able to come up with something to treat your ears.
