As blood spewed from his mouth, Derrick and Suzanna were unable to remain still and rushed forward to
his side.
“Carson!!” Derrick hurriedly stepped up, catching his brother’s swaying body.
He shot a sharp, accusatory glance at Melody, his eyes wide with disbelief.
The look was clear for Melody–he was blaming her.
So what?
Melody couldn’t care less about his opinion anymore.
At the same time, the delicate Suzanna reached out to support Carson’s arm. Her eyelashes quivered and tears slid down her cheeks, painting her face with a sorrowful expression that could melt anyone’s heart.
This time, Carson turned his face away, not even sparing her a glance.
“Carson, please don’t be upset. Mel would never actually sue us. Besides, she’s always been reasonable. She should understand that you only misunderstood me as the creator of Night Bloom Nocturne. After all, we’re family, and she wouldn’t really send us to prison, right?” Suzanna whispered softly.
Her voice was fragile yet resolute, shifting the blame as effortlessly as she spoke. With just a few words, she, distanced herself from the situation, subtly pushing all responsibility away.
She made it seem like Carson’s odd behavior was purely from fear of jail rather than remorse for how he had wronged and misunderstood Melody in the past.
Just as Derrick had predicted, Suzanna never outright claimed to be the composer of Night Bloom. Nocturne.
It had always been Carson’s guide‘ for her to display her talent on the piano.
As long as she maintained this air of innocence, it was all just one big misunderstanding–a misunderstanding that Carson was responsible for, not her.
Suzanna’s soft and fragile plea to detach herself from the blame made Carson’s already frustrated mind race. His scalp tingled as he lowered his gaze to look at her, disbelief clouding his face.
He noticed the sincerity in her worried eyes and the familiar innocence in her expression.
Yet at this moment, that same innocence filled him with dread.
He wanted to question her further, but blood welled up in his throat, choking his words. For a moment, he
couldn’t utter a sound.
His eyes reddened as he stared at Suzanna, his body drenched in cold sweat, teeth clenched tight.
With a forceful motion, he threw off her hand that had been holding his arm.

Suzanna, now flung aside, looked even more pitiful as she turned her tearful eyes toward Melody.

“Mell Look at him. Carson is spitting blood, and he needs to go to the hospital. Can’t you drop the charges?”
Carson coughed up more blood when he heard this.
From start to finish, Melody remained composed, her elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her lips pressed together in a cold line.
As she observed Carson’s suffering, there wasn’t a trace of satisfaction in her eyes.
Her fingers froze for a moment, and her gaze grew icier with each passing second. Her body exuding a deep and unshakable coldness from within.
Was this enough?
Oh, no–it was far too simple on them.
Ignoring the chaos unfolding before her, Melody turned her attention to the judge.
The judge had already received her lawsuit and was about to speak when the sudden commotion caused -him to hesitate.
He was unsure whether to proceed or pause the hearing.
“Suzanna, if I hadn’t clarified the truth earlier, would you have dropped the charges? You wouldn’t have. So why should I? You should use your brain more often instead of treating it as a decorative element.
Melody’s voice was calm; her eyes were void of emotion as she stared at the three of them, her expression. as cold and lifeless as ashes.
Without waiting for a response, she lifted her portable electrotherapy device and approached Carson.
With precise and steady movements, she swiftly inserted electrodes into his skin, stabilizing the internal turmoil that had caused his body to react so violently to his emotions.
Then she looked coldly at the judge and declared, “I’ve stabilized his condition. He won’t die. If you’d like, you can have the professionals check him. If everything’s fine, let’s continue the trial.”
The judge nodded. He had dealt with many cases where the parties involved tried to feign illness or madness to delay the proceedings.
As a result, most courts had medical experts on hand.
Soon after, the medical examiner confirmed, “The defendant only suffered from excessive emotional distress, which led to his coughing up blood. There’s no immediate danger to his life.”
