Chapter 85
Chapter 85
Seeing that the driver didn’t intend to add anything, Charles couldn’t help but talk
more.
“Well, I heard that Ms. Robertson gave birth to several sons for Mr. Lambert. One of the sons is only seven years old, but he seems like a teenager, smart and capable. Is that true?”
The driver glanced at Charles dumbly and said, “Smarter than you, anyway!”
“What did you say?” Charles felt offended.
He thought, ‘Forget it. It’s no big deal for me to be less smart than Mr. Lambert’s
son.’
Thinking of this, he became complacent.
It seemed that he had to find a way to help Melanie recover.
He said to himself, ‘I should at least let her give birth to another girl. Only in that way will I have things to do as a gynecologist.
‘Yes! That’s the way to go!”
Charles thought of that and didn’t feel like going to sleep at all. He let the driver send him to his research institute.
After a short check, he felt that Melanie had had a serious liver problem, mainly due to bad moods. If she didn’t deal with it, it might be worse.
As he thought of this, there was suspicion in his heart.
Speaking of Melanie, she had been born in a wealthy family and was the daughter of the Thomas family. She must have lived a good life. Now she was also the CEO of Rising Star.
It was said that the spring auction had been done very well, and soon after taking office, she won everyone’s respect with her decisiveness and competence.
Charles didn’t understand why such a woman could be so depressed that she was ill.
He wondered if Roderick knew what she had been worried about.
Thinking of this, Charles arrived at the research institute.
As an expert in gynecology at Zerivia, Charles was well treated by the Lambert family.
Although he seemed to be just a doctor of the Lambert family, in fact, the Lambert family gave him far more than a job..
Even the costly institute was from the Lambert family, and as a man of conscience, Charles would certainly have to reciprocate.
Thinking of this, Charles excitedly tried to develop a pill for health recovery according to Melanie’s condition.
He expected Roderick to reward him if satisfied.
The cheerful Charles didn’t know that Roderick had been dissatisfied with him.
At this moment, he had decided to call Michael back tomorrow and make a good diagnosis for Melanie.
As soon as Charles left, Melanie felt better.
The people staying at the hall also breathed a sigh of relief, but Darrin lingered at the door.
Seeing Melanie in Roderick’s arms, he finally lowered his head and left.
Roderick saw everything and snorted coldly.
He deliberately left the door open to show Darrin who Melanie would choose.
“What were you snoring for? Put me on the bed. You should leave as well!”
At this moment, although the pain was gone and Melanie felt better, her voice was still weak. When Roderick heard her voice, he felt it was like a little feather tickling him.
He tried to suppress the itching in his heart and ignored Melanie. Instead, he hugged her even tighter./
“Mela, your room is a mess. Why don’t you go to my room?”
“No way! Put me down!” Melanie said shyly.
She thought. “What’s he thinking? Doesn’t he know that I need to go to the
bathroom?
“Can you go by yourself?” Roderick chuckled in her car.
“Why can’t I?” Melanie struggled and retorted in a louder voice.
“Then why did you break the glass? Good thing you didn’t get hurt,” said Roderick, holding her hand and watching carefully. “Or it would hurt so much, wouldn’t it?”
Whoosh!
Melanie felt her brain vibrating wildly for a second.
She completely misunderstood him!
He knew that she had been blind at that time.
Thinking of the time when Angie took her to Michael for an eye check, she was sitting in the car and the world was totally dark for her.
He got in the car and hugged her regardless, kissing her eyes and whispering, “Don’t be afraid!”
It turned out he had known all about it.
Melanie thought, ‘He has known all about that and is still willing to help me with the sight restoration?
‘Based on how crazy he is about me, he could have done more things when I was blind.‘
Melanie looked at Roderick obsessively. There seemed to be a feeling growing, which made her heart beat faster.
“Then I’ll carry you in,” said Roderick.
Before Melanie could refuse, she found herself rising up in the air and being held firmly by Roderick, who then put her on the bench in the living room.
Before she could react, Roderick brought her slippers, bent down in front of her, and helped her put the slippers on carefully.
“Hold on for a moment.”
Then he went into the bathroom. Melanie was about to stop him from going in there when she heard him say, “Mela, there is water on the floor. Remember to step on this carpet later.”
Only then did Melanie realize that the man went into the bathroom only to help. her check if it was safe there, for fear of her slipping.
She couldn’t help but feel a little shy.
She thought, ‘I’m not a child. I can take care of myself well.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Roderick testing the water temperature before coming out and walking up to her.
“Be careful!” Roderick kissed her on the forehead, closed the door of the living room, and went out.
It took Melanie a long time to slowly calm down.
When she had cleared herself up and walked out of the living room into the bedroom, she found that the bed and floor were both tidy and clean.
Melanie’s face blushed again.
She thought, ‘How could this guy be so considerate?
‘I couldn’t believe he cleaned the room so soon.
She had just sat on the bed when the door opened.
Roderick walked in with a bowl of hot beverage.
“Mela, You just took a shower. I’m afraid you will feel unwell after a while. It might be better if you drink something hot before going to bed.”
Melanie smelled it and realized it was ginger tea.
She glanced at Roderick suspiciously, wondering, ‘How could he get the ginger tea at such a late night?
I remember that there hasn’t seemed to be tea at home.
Roderick understood why she was puzzled and said with a smile, “I called my mom before. She asked someone to send the ginger tea here.”
Hearing this, Melanie felt uneasy instantly.
She thought, ‘How could he bother Mrs. Lambert in the middle of the night for such a little thing?”
“I have three sisters, so my mom has to make ginger tea, which she is good at making, for them all the time. Just drink it, Mela.”
Looking at Roderick being so attentive to her, Melanie couldn’t say anything to
blame him.
“Come on, Mela.”
Seeing the way Roderick fed her with a spoon, carefully and fervently, Melanie felt she was treated as a child by a father, so she felt embarrassed and turned her head.
“I’ll drink it myself!”
“Okay, go ahead.” Roderick obediently handed her the bowl.
Melanie took a sip.
Roderick was right. His mother was even better at making ginger tea than her aunt.
In this way, under Roderick’s gaze with a smile, Melanie finished drinking the
water.
She vaguely felt that everything would be different after today.
