fine.”
e kept quiet during the drive to the Wardolf residence. Jeremy and Krystal chatted intermittently in the car, and all they talked about was the patients. It wasn’t a topic that she could take part in
The sky was already dark when they amived at the Wandolf residence. Melody was behind Jeremy and Krystal as they walked through the door.

Krystal was stunned, responding nonchalantly, “I’m afraid I don’t.”

– Demin has been busy with his work abroad for the past two years. He even prepared some gifts for you when he heard that you were found. He bought a car and a house. All that’s left to do is for you to deal with the procedureL”
Krystal followed Laura’s gaze and looked over. The man on the couch might have wom formal attire, but his buttons were loose. He had sharp features and piercing eves, which made him extremely handsome. However, there was an air of unniliness about him.
She disliked people like him.
At the same time, Krystal noticed that Devinmerely rested his gare on her for a moment before he focused on Melody instead.
Meanwhile, Melody telt Dean’s gaze as well but didn’t dare raise her head. She had been a little scared of him ever since she was young.
As a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, he snickered, slowly saying, “It’s been two years since 1 last saw you, and you’ve learned how to put on makeup.”

Devin sounded nonchalant, but it still drew everyone’s gaze to Melody. She hadn’t expected him to say something like this either. As nerves began to take hold of her, she instinctively avoided his gaze.
A tall, looming figure suddenly stood in front of her, obstructing Demein’s gaze. It was jeremy, and his stance was sharp and composed.
Jering had no idea what prompted his actions, but the way Devin looked at Melody rubbed him the wrong way. So, he instinctively stood in front of her
she could smell jeremy’s refreshing odor. Her heart was in her thenat a second age, but it was no longer so. Although it sounded a little presumptuos to say it, it was the truth that he gave her most of her sense of security.
Laura followed Devin’s gaze and saw Melody as well. With furowed eyebrows, she commented indispleased tone, “we What’s up with all that makeup?”

As a matter of fact, Alexis had merely applied casual and light makeup for Melody. Melody had rarely worn any makeup most of the time, which was why she particularly stood out, imitating Laura.
Laura didn’t like it whenever Melody outshone Krystal Andrew glanced at Melody with a hint of
of displeasure flashing in his eyes as well. All of a sudden, Melody felt more unsettled. She walked next to Jeremy and asked timidly, “Do look strange tonight?”
He glanced at her, but his expression remained unchanged, she had delicate features, a fair complexion, and bright eyes.
Jeremy hadn’t givenbeauty standards too much thought. To him, everyone had the same features with the only difference in their symmetry and delicateness With that said, he was aware that people in his department had been secretly comparing physical attractiveness. They had always agreed that Melody was the most beautiful nurse.
Not only did the brillant light in the living room make her skin look more radiant, but it also gave her eyes a soft, dewy shine. What was more, she was giving him a helpless look, which gave him the desire to pick on her.
Jeremy lowered his gaze. Initially, he wanted to tell her that she looked okay. As he spoke, however, his words were twisted into something entirely different
Mm–hmm”
Melody’s eyes immediately widened and she was rooted to her spot. His lips curled involuntarily, but he quickly composed himself.
The dining hall in the Wardolf residence was very spacings. Furthermore, the Wardolfs were hosting a welcome home dinner for Devin. Se, Laura instructed the maids to prepare so many dishes that they took up the whole dining table.
Needless to say, their dinner topic revolved around Devin
Jeremy krw Derin well enough but wasn’t exactly close. He was only here today because Andrew had invited him over. Meanwhile, Melody sat next to him, keeping her head lowered as she ate her dinner. It was better for her to avoid drawing attention at a time like this.
Eventually, the Wardolfs started talking about Krystal’s work
Laura said, “Devin, you’re the elder brother, and Krys has had a hard time out there for the past few years. I’ll need you to look after her in her work.” Dervin’s voice was deep and charming when he spoke. “How am I supposed to do that? Do you expect me to look for her whenever I get sick?”
Laura gulped before she glared at him. “It memory serves me right, you are quite close to Dr. Tumer. You can always put in a good word for her and ask him to watch over her at workTM
He protested, “is it necessary for me to do something like this? I’m sure you and Dad must’ve taken care of it a long time ago.”
“That’s different. You’re Kays‘ brother. Don’t you think I have a duty to look after her??
“I don’t need it. Krystal put her cutlery on the dining table. Frowning, she looked at Laura and Denvin.
The continued calmly, “It is adoctor’s duty to help the sick and save patients‘ lives. I don’t need any special treatment, and I certainly don’t need you guys to pull some strings to my advantage. I’m capable enough to deal with all of these, if I can’t, it means I’ve failed as a doctor.”
In a flat tone, Derin complimented her, “I’m proud to have you as my sister. You’ve got mode. On the other hand.”
He left his sentence lunging as he turned Ids gaze at Melody, who kept a low profile. “What about you? Are you still as idiotic as you were? Do your hands still sluke when you give patients an injection?”
Melody pursed her lips. Back whenshe started inteming, Devin was still in the country. On her first day of internship, he came looking for her with his hands Bleeding
He was in a fight with someone and hurt his arm, and he needed a tetanus shot. What was more, he specifically asked for her to give him the Injection
She was afraid of Devin, to begin with. Her feat was magnified when she saw his grim look and the coldness in his eyes as he stared at her. The blood on his ann didnt help to soothe reither.
Later, he tiled a complaine to the load no about her mistake.
Melody responded perky, “I’m doing quite well.“‘

Her voice was so soft that it was barely audible. In fact, Jerry might’ve been the only o yelids kept fluttering.
“That couldn’t be farther from the truth. You made a big meal your work” Laura placed some lood on Krystal’s plate as she spoke. “A while ago, she leaked the news about Taua’s hospitalization, which made the patient’s condition much worse.
“Later, hereagu started hurring problems, and she couldn’t hear anything. If Jeremy hadn’t given her a helping hand, she would’ve been fired long ago.”
