Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 52

Chapter 521 

After the doctors left, Margaret grasped Melody’s hand tightly and said, “Melody, I’ll leave my health in your hands!” “Don’t worry, I will make sure you get well soon. When you’re feeling better, let’s go line dancing together. Melody replied. “Alright, let’s do that. Margaret smiled. 

Standing by the side. Astrid silently sneered, disdain clear on her face. Line dancing? This country bumpkin really is clueless about high society. And does she actually think she is skilled enough to treat the old woman? What a joke!‘ she mocked internally 

Despite the disdain in her mind. Astrid put on a concerned look and said. “Miss Fox, we trust our mother’s health to you.” 

Melody glanced at Astrid with a knowing smile, aware of her true intentions. Having been her mother–in–law in a previous life. Melody could predict Astrid’s every move. Astrid Swanson, too bad for you now, she thought, confident that Astrid’s schemes would fail this time. 

However, Melody knew she couldn’t afford to be careless, as unexpected complications could still arise during the treatment, She needed to stay focused and prevent Astrid from exploiting y vulnerabilities. The incident at Herbathrive served as a much–needed warning 

“Rest assured, I will do my utmost to help, Melody said, nodding an acknowledgment. Turning to Margaret, she added, “TIL 59 prepare the medicine now. You should rest, and it possible, try some light walking. It will aid in your recovery.“. 

Margaret eagerly agreed, asking a servant to bring her a cane so she could take a stroll in the garden. Her illness, exacerbated by excessive nourishment and lack of exercise, could greatly benefit from some light walking. Melody felt a sense of relief, secing Margaret’s willingness to cooperate. 

Melody believed the ideal situation for a doctor was when the patient followed their advice. The previous doctors clearly hadn’t been able to establish the necessary connection with Margaret to support their case. 

Although Melody specialized in traditional medicine, she was well–versed in modern medical practices due to her mentor, who was proficient in both fields. Despite her great respect for modern medicine, she did not consider surgery suitable for Margaret. 

Unlike younger patients, the elderly are more susceptible to complications during and after surgery. Even if Margaret had rejected her treatment plan earlier, Melody would still have advised against surgery, 

As Margaret prepared for her walk in the garden, Melody added a few more reminders. “Mrs. Margaret, you must stop taking all your tonics for the time being and avoid any sudden strenuous activities, she advised. 

After giving all the required instructions, Melody turned to one of the servants and asked for directions to the kitchen so she could start preparing the necessary medicines. 

Ramon had been silent since agreeing to give Melody a week to treat his mother. Once Melody left the room, he turned to Ken to discuss their family business. “How’s the land acquisition in Northera progressing?” 

“Everything is going smoothly. We’re currently negotiating the price. With assistance from the country’s top law firm, we should be able to identify some weaknesses and lower the cost, Een replied. 

“Good” Ramon nodded, his gaze full of approval. 

This scene made Ulric feel quite uncomfortable. Despite sharing the same family status, Ken had always outshone him in every aspect. When Ulric’s legs were injured, he accused Ken of being the culprit, hoping their father would disown Ken Instead, Ramon chose to suppress the incident, leaving Ken unscathed and in a position of favor. 

Ulric attempted to spread rumors about the incident through various channels, hoping to damage Ken’s reputation further.

Yet, despite this, his father sull delegated most of the company’s operational authority to him. 

Gritting his teeth, Ulric felt a surge of frustration. Ken’s continued success and their father’s unwavering support only fueled his determination to recover and prove his worth. If things continued like this, Ken would inevitably become the successor of the family business–an outcome Ulric could not accept 

“Let’s continue this conversation in the study, Ramon told Ken. He then turned to Ulric, reminding him, “Take care and don’t overexert yourself. 

Observing the difference in attitude towards Ken and himself, Uric bit his lip in silence, feeling upset. He looked up at Astrid and found her looking back at him, both of their expressions filled with resentment. 

‘Let’s talk in your room, Astrid said, leaving Margaret’s room. She couldn’t wait to go, as she had always found the medicinal scent in the room unbearable. With his brows furrowed, Ulric maneuvered his wheelchair and followed closely behind his mother. 

In Ulric’s room. Astrid closed the door behind them and immediately asked, “Now that Ken is back, what have the people you sent to monitor him discovered? Did you find out why he’s here and how long he plans to stay?” 

Ulric shook his head, his expression grim. “They haven’t been able to gain his trust and uncover anything substantial. From what I’ve gathered, he seems to be back mainly to visit Grandma‘ he said. 

“That old woman…” Astrid’s voice trailed off as her eyes darkened at the mention of Margaret Swanson. “Ken never liked being here, so once the old woman is dead, he might not want to return anymore,” she said. 

Raising his eyebrows, Ulric asked. “Are you planning to do something to Grandma?”
