Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: All Kinds of Monsters

Melody Summers stared blankly at Winnie Summers. Suddenly, her eyes stung with tears, and she threw herself into Winnie’s arms.

’In her past life, Melody had struggled alone through the apocalypse. She’d had to guard against not only outsiders, but also her own blood relatives. No one had ever cared for her; she had only faced malice and accusations.’

’After everything that had happened today, her mother’s first reaction was to learn a new skill... just to protect her...’

Melody Summers said, her voice thick with tears, "Mom, you’re the best."

Colin Summers chimed in, "That’s right! We have to learn! Your uncle is going to learn, too. Melody, don’t worry. Tomorrow, I’ll ask Officer Thorne to teach me some self-defense. If anything like this happens again, I’ll protect you all!"

Hearing Colin Summers’ determined tone, Melody Summers couldn’t help but smile through her tears. "Okay, you’re the best too, Uncle!"

The SUV glided smoothly through the night. With her family by her side, Melody Summers felt a profound sense of peace.

The three members of the Summers family drove back to The Metropolis Residences, only to see several figures in black standing in front of their house, B16, from a distance.

Colin Summers jumped, not daring to drive closer. He cautiously pulled the car over to the side. "Quick, look," he said to Melody and Winnie Summers. "Why are there so many people in front of our house?"

Melody Summers’ heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked out the window.

The people in black noticed the SUV as well. After a brief exchange, one of them jogged over to the vehicle and tapped lightly on the window.

The three of them exchanged a glance before slowly rolling down the window.

The man in black spoke. "Mr. Summers, we’re bodyguards sent by Miss Thorne. She asked us to keep an eye on your villa, so there’s no need to be alarmed. Miss Thorne is at your house right now. You can go on in."

Melody Summers froze. ’Miss Thorne? Sophie Thorne?’

Though bewildered, the three of them nodded their thanks to the man in black and drove toward the house.

When Melody, her mother, and her uncle got home, they found Sophie Thorne sitting in the living room chatting with Grandma, Miss Lowell, and Melody’s aunt, Grace Sutton.

The moment she saw them, Grace Sutton shot to her feet, slapping her thigh. "Oh my goodness, you’re finally back! You were gone for so long, and then you called to say you were at the police station! You scared us half to death!"

"Don’t worry," Colin Summers said, comforting his wife. "The three of us are fine. Melody took care of both robbers!"

Her grandmother grabbed Melody’s arm, her voice filled with worry. "You silly girl, how could you scare us like that? Rushing into a den of criminals bare-handed? If something had happened to you, how could this old woman go on living!"

Melody quickly reassured her. "Grandma, don’t worry, I’m okay. I brought a weapon with me for protection. The robbers didn’t even get close enough to touch me."

Melody ushered everyone to sit down before turning to Sophie Thorne. "Sophie, what happened here?"
