Chapter 235
Alden hung up before he walked over with a calm expression.
“Mel, I‘ll help you wash up.” Melody obediently extended her hand and allowed her brother to take her upstairs. Alden helped Melody brush her teeth and wash her face. He turned on the water for her so that she could take a bath on her own. He also hung a towel by the door, where she could reach when she extended her arm.
Five minutes later, Melody stepped out of the bathroom.
Her skin was so fair that it shone, as though she had just taken a milk bath. Meanwhile, her · eyes were so bright and clear like they had been washed with water.
Alden walked over and dried her hair.
The little girl sat by the bed and slowly lowered her head. After a while, she fell asleep. She lay down sideways on the bed. Alden covered her with a blanket and switched off the light before he gently walked out of the room. As soon as he went back to his room, the calmness on his face disappeared. He appeared cold, deep in thought, and worried.
If Melody did not need company, he would have rushed to the hospital. He tapped on the keyboard with his long fingers and hacked into the hospital‘s surveillance.
When he saw that Adina had indeed only undergone a gastric lavage, he finally sighed in relief.
He stared at Duke‘s face in the surveillance, and his emotions were complicated.
