As Spencer pulled himself away from the underground boxing ring, a smile crept onto his face, even as pain shot through his body,
He gripped a black bag containing 10,000 dollars, each step becoming increasingly laborious and unsteady.
Yet, despite it all, his heart felt light.
After Melody left, their living situation had shifted to an even smaller rental apartment.
Martin had made strides in the finance world and earned a decent amount.
Tyrell had been involved in various confidential projects in computers, finance, and emerging technologies, reaping substantial rewards from his stock investments.
However, beyond being generous with Melody and using the money on the children, Tyrell had invested everything into private investigators searching the globe for his missing wife.
For over a decade, he never abandoned the quest.
Only later did Spencer discover from Martin that when Martin found Melody at the age of eight. Tyrell had initially resisted bringing her into their home.
But Martin, known for his stubbornness, had ignored Tyrell’s protests, declaring, “Then I’ll take care of her myself. She’s won’t have anything to do with you.”
From a young age, Martin had never undergone an IQ test, but he carried an inherent aloofness and maturity that set him apart from his peers.
Tyrell frowned. “You’re just a kid. How can you care for another child?
“Come on, I’ll help you bring her back where you found her.”
Martin rejected the idea, saying, “She was kidnapped.
“She was also drugged and disoriented. If we don’t take care of her, she’ll either be kidnapped again or thrown into an orphanage!”
Tyrell looked down at the three–year–old girl, whose beauty and fragility were striking, unable to resist pinching her soft cheeks.
Little Melody’s gaze was unfocused; she squinted up at him with a sweet smile, her dimples shallow yet charming. “Daddy! I’m so hungry.”
Tyrell felt a rush of warmth fill his chest. This little girl was simply irresistible.
But the look in her eyes was strange.
“She’s on alternative medicine. It’s hallucinogenic; it could damage her brain. If we don’t treat her

“What kind of scum would harm a three–year–old like this?” Tyrell could no longer contain his anger, his frown deepening.
Finally, he couldn’t bring himself to abandon little Melody. With a resigned sigh, he said, “I’ll take her to the hospital tomorrow.
“If she can be treated, we’ll send her back. If not, I’ll care for her until she turns 18. Martin, when you’re able to earn, you can support her for life!”
After saying this, Tyrell noticed the three–year–old girl tugging at his pant leg, looking up at him with wide
eyes.
“Dad, she’s hungry, Martin stated.
He understood the longing reflected in the little girl’s gaze. Everyone thought he had found Melody on the street, including Melody herself.
But Martin knew the truth–he had rescued her from a human trafficking ring, putting himself at great risk.
That was the moment fate began to shift.
It was the first time Martin learned what it meant to be a good brother.
Little Spencer was bewildered, having never experienced such love from Martin.
“I know she’s hungry.”
Tyrell sighed, pulling little Melody into their cramped rental unit and setting about making her some
noodles.
“Daddy, I want eggs and milk,” she whined, tugging at Tyrell’s pant leg once more.
Little Melody was breathtakingly beautiful, her soft, high–pitched voice exuding innocence.
Tyrell had never raised a daughter; he had always thought boys were easier.
He assumed he could manage just fine with his current finance condition.
But with this delicate little girl in the house, he realized he could no longer afford to be so careless.
