Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Chapter 266

Melody Summers didn’t say this just to get revenge for her past life by making things up. It was because, in that life, Gene Young and Yvonne York had been up to no good.

In her past life, the couple had taken advantage of their official positions to commit many illegal and corrupt acts.

They used the convenience of their roles to privately hold back government supplies, which they then sold on the black market.

Gene Young had gone completely insane. He used the supplies under his control to coerce and bribe many women, using them to entertain people he wanted to curry favor with. He had openly organized a prostitution ring.

Melody only knew about this because Robert Lancaster had also patronized Gene Young’s prostitution ring. Elaine Hughes found out, and the two had a huge fight.

Later, after an investigation by the head of the reconstruction department, the couple’s dealings were exposed. They were expelled from the community, and those two cancers were finally dealt with.

In this life, the couple had lost their chance to get an official position, but they still dared to openly scam people for winter coats. When their scam failed, they even threatened arson.

Melody was certain that couple was still up to something shady.

After more than a year of knowing each other, Officer Sean Pierce’s trust in Melody Summers had reached an unprecedented level.

Hearing her say this, he immediately nodded. "Alright, I’ll arrange for an investigation into that couple."

At his words, Melody finally felt relieved.

Leaving the emergency management office, Melody Summers slowly ambled home.

In the plaza, the panic caused by Gene Young and his wife had been quelled. The crowd had returned to an orderly state, and everyone was quietly lining up to receive their supplies.

Just then, Melody’s phone rang.

She picked it up and answered, "Hello?"

Sylvia Lancaster’s slightly panicked voice immediately came through the phone. "Melody Summers! My brother’s high fever won’t break! You need to bring us some fever medicine right now!"

Melody froze at her words. ’Simon is running a fever again?’

Melody thought back to her past life.

In her past life, when Simon had a fever, the Lancasters were at their wit’s end. It was Melody who had run out into a blizzard to find him fever medicine.

And what was the result?

Because the blizzard was so severe, Melody came down with a fever too after she got back.

After Simon took the medicine, his temperature dropped. The first thing he did when he woke up was thank Sylvia for taking care of him, completely ignoring Melody, who had braved the blizzard to get him the medicine.

Seeing Melody, who was delirious with a high fever, Simon even cursed her out for dragging the family down by getting sick.

Thinking of her past life, Melody gave a cold laugh and replied, "No. Figure it out yourselves."

Hearing this, Sylvia’s voice immediately shot up into a shriek on the other end of the line.

She demanded in a shrill voice, "Melody Summers! Did you not hear what I just said?! My brother is in serious danger right now! How can you just ignore him?!"

Melody just snorted coldly and said nothing.

When Melody didn’t respond, Sylvia continued anxiously, "Do you have any idea that he’s been running this fever for a whole day and night? We’ve tried everything to bring his temperature down, but it won’t break! If this goes on, he won’t make it!"

The ice packs worked a little at first, bringing the fever down a bit, but it shot right back up again.

Simon’s fever is at 40 degrees Celsius now. Without any medicine, he’s just been lying in bed, moaning in pain.

The more Sylvia spoke, the more frantic she became, the words tumbling out as she blamed Melody. "Melody Summers, this is all your fault!"

"If you hadn’t refused to give up the house, my brother and I wouldn’t have been forced to go up on the roof to shovel snow."
