Chapter 272 Silly Girl, I’m Back
“Mr. Shield, you’re a professional lawyer,” she noted.
“I have a question for you.” Melody’s voice cut through the air like a knife. “If I were to stab you with a knife and then bow over your body to ask for forgiveness, would you actually forgive me?”
Her words were sharp and left no doubt in Derrick’s mind that their relationship had reached a deadlock.
There would be no forgiveness from her!
Derrick stood frozen, his expression bleak. He opened his mouth to reply, but his gaze fell on Melody, who carelessly tossed aside his personal seal as if even brief contact with him would leave a stain,
The sight pierced him like a dagger to the heart.
Just when he thought he might leave in humiliation, Suzanna suddenly collapsed during the tea banquet.
She was standing closest to Derrick.
Instinctively, he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her and supporting her waist. Panic washed over him as he shouted, “Suzie! Suzie!!
“Wake up!
“Mel, she’s our sister! No matter her past actions, we need to get her to a hospital right away.”
Suzanna was covered in scratches, a harrowing sight to behold.
Despite his unresolved feelings, he couldn’t bear to watch her in pain..
Melody shot a glance at Ronald, and he quickly grasped her unspoken request, organizing for an ambulance to come.
Her gaze landed on Suzanna’s tight–lipped expression. Melody recognized that Suzanna was not genuinely
unconscious.
But so what?
The medication she had mixed into that aspirin would have Suzanna clawing at her skin for three full days and nights.
Once she left Regal Glade, her experience in the hospital would be nothing short of a nightmare.
The paramedics arrived at a steady pace, timed perfectly to avoid arousing suspicion. Meanwhile, Suzanna Jay in Derrick’s arms, her nails digging into his skin as she fought the overwhelming urge to scratch.
The itch was more unbearable than the pain from her own nails.
Suppressing that compulsion felt like torture.
But she endured.

Finally, they managed to transfer her onto a stretcher headed for the hospital. Derrick, worried for Suzanna, reluctantly accompanied her.
Before leaving, he cast one last glance at Melody, his eyes filled with bitterness and turmoil. His lips formed a thin line.
At last, his voice came out hoarse.
“Mel, I’ll just take her to the hospital. Once she’s stable, I’ll come back for you.”
His words felt like a deal or perhaps a desperate plea.
Melody watched his uncertain demeanor and responded casually, “Mr. Shield, there’s no rush.
“I’ve gathered all the evidence needed for the defamation case against you and Amanda. Just wait for my lawyer’s letter.”
Derrick opened his mouth as if to argue but fell silent instead, leaving with the ambulance,
At the entrance of Regal Glade, Suzanna was finally moved from the stretcher into the ambulance. Derrick climbed in beside her.
However, the ambulance didn’t start up as expected.
A moment later, the driver got out to investigate. “Who would be so inconsiderate? The tires have been. slashed!”
Lying on the stretcher, unable to bear the itching any longer, Suzanna thought, Why can’t this just end?
Nearby, inside a black Jeep sat a youth in an oversized hoodie, casually tapping away on a laptop.
In his other hand, he fiddled with a slender steel needle…
The boy wore a metallic silver chain around his neck, and his thin lips curled into a slight, detached smile. His sharp black eyes glinted, hinting at an underlying coldness.
“Silly girl, I’m back…”
