Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Chapter 37 

if Melody gets the diagnosis wrong and accidentally causes Margaret’s death, I will then be the only boss of the house, not having to care about Margaret’s opinions anymore. And as for Melody, she’d definitely end up in prison for causing someone’s death. This is really something to celebrate, thought Astrid. 

Astrid’s eyes glinted as she changed her attitude and said, “Since Margaret and Maria believe in you so much, I will trust you this once. When can you start the treatment?” 

“Tomorrow, once I’ve bought the necessary medicines.” 

“Good.” Astrid nodded immediately, “Don’t worry about the cost of the medicines. No matter how expensive, just buy what you need to cure 

the Hiness. 

Melody looked at Astrid, who had changed her attitude so drastically, fully understanding her intentions. 

This was the evil from her past life. She wouldn’t be so kind for no reason. 

She’s likely waiting for me to make a mistake, causing Margaret’s condition to worsen, so she could then hold me accountable, Melody thought. 

However, Melody was confident she could cure Margaret as long as there were no unforeseen incidents. 

Before leaving, Melody carefully diagnosed Margaret again, ensuring she had not misdiagnosed before saying goodbye and helping Maria leave. 

As they stepped out, Astrid followed closely behind. 

“Miss Melody, Astrid called from behind, causing Melody and Maria to stop and turn around. 

Astrid smiled slightly and said, “The old lady promised that if you cure her, she will give you whatever you want. But she didn’t say what would happen if you fail.” 

Melody frowned and said seriously, “I can cure her.” 

Astrid appreciated Melody’s confidence, but sometimes overconfidence wasn’t a good thing. 

She smiled and said, “It’s best if you can. But I like to be upfront. If you fail to cure her, or worse, harm her, don’t blame the Swanson Family for turning hostile.” 

“Rest assured, that won’t h happen,” Melody replied, not wanting to waste more words with Astrid, and helped Maria leave.

Meanwhile, under the sunlight, Mabel had pushed Ulric around half of the manssion, but it was However, in front of Ulric, she endured the discomfort, continuing to walk in high heels and making an effort to engage him in conversation. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

initially, she worried they wouldn’t have much to talk about, but Ulric was able to respond to everything she said. 

This must be a soul connection, she thought 

What Mabel didn’t realize was that someone who could respond to everything one said simply indicated one thing they were superior Suddenly, Uric asked, “What’s your type, Miss Fort

Mabel blushed slightly and said shyly, “Someone like you.” 

Ulric paused, then laughed brightly. “What are the odds. You’re also my type.” 

Mabel’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked excitedly. “Really?” 

“Really.” He liked such simple–minded girls from the countryside, easy to control, but also presentable as trophies. So far, he was quite satisfied with this arranged engagement, at least with her looks. No man could refuse such beauty. 

What Ulric didn’t know was that he had mistaken her from the start. 

Mabel, unaware of this, was overjoyed but slightly regretful–if only Ulric’s legs were normal. She wondered if it would affect their intimate life. 

While Mabel’s thoughts wandered, Ulric reminded her gently, “We’ve been out for a while. Your legs must be tired. Let’s head back. I’ll invite you out again.” 

Mabel readily agreed, feeling both cared for and reluctant to part. 

She needed more and more time with Ulric until she completely won him over from Melody! 

Soon, they took a shortcut back to the parking lot. 

“See you next time,” Ulric waved gently at Mabel, his expression warm, making her heart melt completely. 

Ulric was just too gentiel 

“See you next time,” Mabel replied, blushing, reluctantly getting into the car. She watched until Ulric was pushed away by the servant and disappeared from sight. 

Yolanda, being experienced, could tell at a glance that the two had gotten along well. 

She smiled and asked, “How was it? Are you satisfied with your future husband?” 

“Mom!” Mabel pretended to be annoyed, but inside she was ecstatic. 

Indeed, no man could resist her charm. 

Her face was her most powerful weaponi 

“Tell me, what did you two talk about?” Yolanda, in a good mood, asked. 

“Ulric said he likes girls like me,” Mabel said, blushing. 

Yolanda’s smile grew wider. 

“Seems like he really didn’t fancy Melody. But stay sharp, nothing is certain until you’re officially engaged. You’ve only met once.” 

Mabel nodded repeatedly, “I will! I won’t let Melody take Ulric from mel” 

“Oh, by the way.” Yolanda said, shaking her phone, “Your dad called. He’s coming back tonight. Make sure to impress him and get him to persuade your grandmother. Without her approval, this marriage won’t be easy. 

At the mention of Maria, Mabel’s face fell and she couldn’t help but mutter, “Mom, can’t you deal with grandma sooner? She’s too biased She’d rather take Melody, that ugly freak, to see Mrs. Margaret than take me.”

Yolanda’s face darkened immediately. 

“I’ll handle it, but don’t talk about it. Be careful of eavesdroppers, understand?” 

Yolanda’s tone was exceptionally stern. Mabel, feeling aggrieved, responded with a reluctant “Yes.”

She didn’t understand why her mother had become more cautious after adding “ingredients” to her grandmother’s medicine had been going smoothly before. 

Is it because of Melody?‘ Mabel scoffed inwardly. ‘Melodyis just a brainless ugly freak, not worth worrying about. Even Ulric has chosen me. I don’t know why Grandma is so partial to her.” 

Meanwhile, Melody helped Maria down the elevator. 

The old lady was already in poor health, and after a long morning, she was visibly exhausted, nearly stumbling as they exited the elevator. 

“Grandma!” Melody panicked and quickly supported her, preventing a fall 

As she looked up, she saw Ulric, dressed in a black suit, being pushed in a wheelchair by a servant. 

He was handsome and gentle, with a face that seemed to glow softly. Despite being in a wheelchair, he exuded a noble and calm demeanor. 

His presence seemed to overshadow everything around him.
