Mrs. Gibson Your identity is Exposed novel (Melissa and Murray) novel Chapter 746

Chapter 746 Hostage

The next day, Melissa woke up to find that she had slept through the whole afternoon.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and tried to settle with the sudden brightness of light.

“Huh,” She purred and slightly opened her eyes.

Murray was sitting beside her, and when he saw her waking up, he immediately stood up and moved towards the table placed there. “Have some water,” He forwarded a glass and was trying to comprehend her movements.

Meanwhile, without looking at his face Melissa held the glass and took a sip from it. The extra silence in the air was making Murray confused, he frowned and tried to spot the reason behind it.

“Maybe I am overthinking,” He shrugged.

The next moment he tried to break the silence and cleared his throat.

“Are you feeling better?”

His hand was now resting on her shoulder.

“Hmm,” She hummed.

The sudden change in her behavior was evidently noticed by Murray but he ignored it when the nurse entered the room with a bowl of white porridge. A smile crept at his face when he thought about the ways he was going to adopt to make Melissa eat that. “Look you have to…” He started but she cut him in between.

“Give it to me,”

Surprisingly, she neither didn’t complain about the food nor did she show tantrums after looking at the porridge which was an epic moment in itself.

Moreover, she obediently drank it without uttering a word. The scene in front of Murray was good but it was making him uncomfortable. The unusual behavior of Melissa was enough to increase his worries.

“You aren’t complaining about anything today. What’s different?”

He jokingly said and raised his left eyebrow. But silence filled the air once again.

“If I tell him that I know the truth of the deteriorating state of my health then maybe he will start blaming himself for everything.”

A thought struck Melissa’s mind. To avoid that, she decided to act normally.

“It’s nothing, it just feels delicious all of a sudden.”

“For a change I found that delicious. And when I saw that surprised expression on your face, I thought it was worth it.” She smiled.

“You indeed surprised me today.” He nodded his head and took a sigh of relief as he threw all the suspecting thoughts out of his mind.

“By the way we need to go to the police station. They asked about your presence only if you are feeling better.”

Although he didn’t plan to tell her about it initially, he did otherwise. Now when Melissa started cooperating with her treatment, he didn’t want any misunderstanding to change that again.

“They want to see me today. What’s the hurry for that?” she asked him.

“If you are not feeling well we can go there whenever you feel like. You don’t have to push yourself.” He rubbed her back.

After giving it a long thought she said,” No! It’s fine for me…”

Before she could complete he stopped her,” But you have to promise me, If you will not feel good. You are going to tell me and we will come back to the hospital without delay.”

Seeing the concern in his voice, she didn’t argue and nodded her head in agreement.

“I promise, I will do whatever you say. Happy now?” she asked him.

With a stern nod, he had put his arms around her and held her close to his heart. Although he wanted to say so many things, he had no idea where to start. So, the two of them stayed for a few minutes, saying nothing.

“I just want to see you like before. The healthy and strong Melissa who is rebellious and charismatic.” He finally spoke.

Melissa fought back a rush of fresh tears, knowing what he meant, she nodded, waited until she was sure she could speak, and said,” I love you. I won’t trouble you anymore.”

After last night, there was indeed no point for her to argue and ignore Murray’s words. She needed to pay attention to his concern, she understood that.

Soon, Murray draped Melissa in a thick suit, as wind was blowing and he was afraid that she might not catch the cold. At that moment Melissa realized that she had lost a few pounds and her already slender figure had started losing her charm. She shook her head disappointingly and didn’t say much.

“Let’s go,” Murray held her hand and they moved out.

After half an hour

The car stopped at the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

On the way, Murray had already recalled the series of events and developments that happened in the investigation, otherwise the police officer will show sacks of documents to Melissa which will be tiresome for her. In order to avoid that, he briefly told everything to her.

Melissa nodded. As soon as they arrived at the Public Security

Bureau, the police took them to the new office of Jacky Knight.

This time it was located in an isolated place. It was a house in an old and turned building.

The place was so secretive that if Jacky wouldn’t have come to the hospital to meet Melissa that day then it would be very difficult to locate him this time.

Most of the members of the investigation team had already circled the building and tried to find out about what was happening inside.

“It seems like they are well prepared unlike previous times. Security guards are on duty and guns are also placed inside. Instructions are already given to team members. The moment I will be inside, then all of you will move faster.”
