Chapter 316 I’ll Be Relying On You
Melody and the others stayed with Wendy for a while longer.
Wendy did not have much patience for Melody, she was just using the woman to get closer to Byron. Now that her goal had been achieved and Byron was in her room, she wanted nothing more than to get rid of those pesky elders. Despite her impatience, she had to keep playing the good girl.
“You’re so badly hurt, Wendy. You should stay in bed for a few days and leave everything to Byron.”
Melody sat by her bed and touched her shoulder encased in plaster, looking devastated.
Wendy was propped up in bed, and she responded to Melody’s concern with a fake smile. “I got it. Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I’ll be careful. But…”
She pretended to glance at the man standing by the door before pursuing her lips. “I’m happy enough to have Byron here with me. I can’t trouble him any more than that.”
Melody finally looked back at her son. when she saw how far away he was standing, she berated him, “why are you standing all the way over there? Wendy’s a girl, and I’m sure she feels a little shy. You should stay at the hospital to take care of her, and pay her more attention, you hear? If there’s anything she’s too shy to ask from you, you should take the initiative to help her.”
Byron frowned and did not immediately reply.
Wendy pretended to feel hurt, all the while defending him on the surface. “Auntie, Byron’s really busy with work. He should rest after his work day, so please don’t trouble him. I don’t need him to take care of me either. I can take care of myself.”
Melody’s anger subsided slightly when she saw how thoughtful Wendy was being.
