CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 257: REBIRTH AFTER THE DISASTER, SHE WILL CHERISH...

In the lab, Melody Parker, who had been sleeping deeply all night, finally woke up the next morning, an hour after the gunfire outside the lab had ceased.

At that moment, Adrian Davies still sat there unmoving like a wooden post, watching her.

Melody’s eyelids had only just begun to flutter, barely open, and Adrian had already noticed.

He was thrilled and unknowingly tightened his grip on Melody’s small hand, "Melody, are you awake?"

A sharp pain registered in Melody’s hand, and she furrowed her brow, immediately opening her eyes.

Then a strikingly handsome face, covered in a rugged stubble, instantly came into her view.

Staring at the man, Melody was stunned.

Wasn’t she dead?

How could she see him?

Meanwhile, seeing Melody wake up, Adrian coldly shouted, "Tannis, hurry over here!"

The man’s shout and the force with which he held her hand made Melody clearly realize one fact.

She wasn’t dead, and this man was truly Adrian!

Yet she couldn’t understand why the man before her looked so haggard.

Tannis immediately ran over, looked at Melody, and asked, "How do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

"I..." With just one word, Melody closed her mouth.

What’s going on?

Why did her voice sound so unpleasant?

Moreover, why was her throat in such pain?

"Your vocal cords were damaged. For now, it’s difficult to speak, and even if you do, it will be this unpleasant, hoarse sound. And given what you’ve been through, it’s normal for your throat to hurt."

Tannis’s voice chimed in, solving Melody’s confusion.

After speaking, Tannis continued, "But don’t worry, with proper care, you’ll recover over time."

Adrian’s warm hand held Melody’s small hand tightly, "Melody, believe me, you’ll be alright!"

Looking at the man’s warm gaze, Melody nodded.

Having survived a near-death experience, she cherished life greatly.

Adrian looked at Melody with tender eyes, quietly waiting for Tannis to complete his check-up.

Once Tannis finished the examination, he looked at Adrian, "Aside from the vocal cords needing gradual recovery, she’s fine."

"Alright." Adrian nodded, not even glancing at Tannis.

His dark eyes intently focused on his woman, softly asking, "Melody, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I’ll have it prepared immediately."

After asking, realizing Melody couldn’t answer this question, he gently spoke again, "Melody, how about something light?"

Melody nodded.

Adrian immediately looked at Locke and coldly spoke, "Locke, have the chef at home send over some light food!"

Tannis felt a thousand emotions stir within him.

Though he had already witnessed this different side of Adrian when helping with Melody’s gunshot wound last time,

Even now, he still couldn’t get used to it.

After all, Adrian was no ordinary person, struggling with severe psychological issues; he would become manic when near women!

Since returning from Whitehill, he had been conducting research without pause.

Yet until now, he hadn’t managed to create a medication to completely cure Adrian’s mania.

And now, with Adrian and Mr. Sutton at loggerheads, perhaps there’s no need for further research on the medicine, right?...

While Tannis wondered whether to continue developing a cure for Adrian’s mania, Melody, lying on the small bed, suddenly sat up without warning.

Adrian looked at Melody nervously, "Melody, what’s wrong?"

Melody was deeply anxious.

She didn’t know how Adrian had saved her.

But she did know that when Oliver abducted her, she was talking with her two children.

Where were the two children now?

They must be very worried about her, right?

Just then, two young voices sounded simultaneously at the door, "Mommy!"

Melody looked toward the door.

Benjamin and Daniel immediately ran over.

"Mommy, you’re awake? That’s wonderful!" Benjamin exclaimed, his eyes brimming with joyful tears.

Daniel gazed at Melody, his throat choked with emotion as he uttered again, "Mommy."

Truthfully, first thing in the morning he wanted to come here with his brother.

But just as they had stepped out of the castle, someone stopped them.

"What are you doing?" Daniel looked at the person who blocked them and asked authoritatively.

The castle’s old steward, Uncle Andrew, looked at the two young ones and respectfully said, "Master called and said without his permission, the young masters cannot leave."

Benjamin immediately expressed his discontent, "How dare he not let us out? We want to see Mommy!"

Daniel, however, said nothing.

He reached out and held Benjamin who was about to rush out, "Benjamin, let’s go back."

Benjamin glanced at Daniel and nodded, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, brother."

Then, the two brothers obediently returned to their room.

As soon as the door was shut, Benjamin looked at Daniel and definitively said, "Brother, you brought me back to relax their vigilance, so we could sneak out when they least expect it, right?"

Daniel nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, I’ll contact Barrett now, have him come take us out," Benjamin said, pulling out his small phone.

As Benjamin took out the small phone, Daniel reminded, "We need to contact Barrett, but Benjamin, you should first ask if anything happened at the lab."

Upon hearing this, Benjamin immediately realized something.

He looked at Daniel, nervously asking, "Brother, are you saying something happened at the lab?"

Daniel neither answered nor was able to.

He looked at Benjamin and calmly commented, "Let’s ask and find out."

"Right, we’ll ask and find out," Benjamin said, dialing Barrett’s number.

Once the call connected, Benjamin directly inquired, "Did something happen at the lab?"

Barrett: "..."

Should he let the boss know?

If he said something now, would the boss be more worried?

"Barrett, what’s happening? Why aren’t you speaking?" Seeing Barrett’s silence, Benjamin became more anxious.

His expression turning stern, he coldly stated, "If you don’t tell the truth, you won’t be working with me anymore. I don’t need subordinates who don’t listen."

As soon as Benjamin said this, Barrett dared not conceal any longer and immediately explained the situation, "Boss, we were attacked by assassins. But rest assured, those assassins didn’t get close to the Miss at all, we handled them, and Miss Melody is very safe."

Even though Barrett said everything was fine, not having seen Melody, Benjamin was still very worried.
