Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

The doctor had seen patients who were difficult to talk to, but he had never seen anyone doubt that he could not diagnose whether the bones were broken. “If you really don’t believe me, then do an X–ray!” 

The doctor couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with Troy and Pamela. He directly asked Pamela to take an X–ray. 

Pamela wanted to flare up, but she did not want to ruin her image as a lady in front of Ken. She could only grit her teeth and take the list. 

She subconsciously used her right hand to catch it. When she reacted, she was shocked to realize that her right hand did not hurt at all. 

She thought, “What’s going on here? Could it be that Melody really didn’t break my hand? But I clearly felt that my hand was dislocated at that time and couldn’t even lift it up. I couldn’t be wrong about the feeling of bones being separated. What on earth is going on?‘ 

Pamela’s face was a little pale, and her heart was instantly in her throat. 

However, Troy did not notice anything strange about Pamela. He only thought that this doctor was either not skilled or had been bribed. 

However, a doctor could be bribed, but a machine could not fake it. He urged Pamela, “Pam, let’s go and take an X–ray now!” 

Pamela panicked. By the time she reacted, she was already standing in front of the X–ray machine. 

*Lift your sleeves up and drop your hands.” The doctor’s voice came from the radio in the X–ray room. 

Pamela came back to her senses and subconsciously pulled up her sleeve. 

In less than two seconds, the radio sounded again. “Done.” 

Because this was an injury assessment and their identities were extraordinary, the door of the X–ray room was not closed. 

When Troy heard the announcement, he immediately went to the small room in the back. 

Melody, Ken, and the others also walked over. Ken was at the front because of his long legs. 

Troy deliberately slowed down his footsteps and looked at Melody coldly. “Don’t think that we don’t know that you bribed the doctor. I wondered how you really let us come to the hospital. But don’t be smug. Machines can’t deceive people. Just wait to be jailed!” 

Melody did not comment. “Whether you believe it or not, her bones are not broken.” 

“Stop quibbling! I’ll see how you cry later! Soon, you’ll know that compared to Bobby, I will be an even worse nightmare for you!” 

Melody could not be bothered to argue with Troy. She quickened her pace to catch up with Ken. 

A few of them entered the small room one after another. Troy anxiously went forward and asked, “Doctor, are the scans out?” 

“The scan will be out in half an hour, but we can see the results on the computer now.” 

Troy asked, “Then help me see if my daughter’s hand is dislocated or broken.” 

The doctor saw that there were a lot of people and there were police officers around, so he didn’t refuse and directly opened his computer. 

The bones of Pamela were clearly visible on X–ray. 

The doctor took a serious look and said in confusion, “It’s not injured. Why are you here for an X–ray?” 

“This is impossible!” Troy said in disbelief, “Look carefully! My daughter can’t even move her hand. It’s impossible that she’s not injured!” 

The doctor pursed his lips impatiently and pulled out a picture. He pointed at the scans on the computer screen and said, “This is the hand of a normal person. This is your daughter’s hand. Look, other than the length and size, what’s the difference? There’s not a trace of crack on it. It’s intact!” 

“But… Troy seemed to be choked. The huge fear made his hands tremble. 

He subconsciously looked at Pamela and saw that Pamela was twisting her hand with a complicated expression. There was no pain on her face. He asked, “You’re not in pain anymore?” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Pamela said with a pale face, “I don’t know what’s going on either… It doesn’t seem to hurt anymore.” 

“Mr. Clark.” The corners of Ken’s lips curled up slightly. He sneered and asked, “Do you need to go to another hospital?”

11:26 AM 

“This…” Troy panicked and did not dare to look at Ken. 

Pamela cried and asked, “Dad, I don’t know what’s going on either… I was in so much pain just now. I even felt my hand break…” 

Troy’s expression was ugly, but he did not believe what Pamela said. If it wasn’t for his daughter, he would have left long ago. 

Troy gritted his teeth and shamelessly put on an apologetic expression. “Mr. Swanson, my daughter is insensible and told a small lie. Please don’t take it to heart!” 

“Little lie?” Ken smiled coldly. “Your lie is indeed very small. Even the police are alarmed.” 

Troy’s back stiffened. He turned around and slapped Pamela. “Useless thing! Apologize to Mr. Swanson and Miss Fox!” 

Pamela asked, “Dad? You hit me?” 

Ken could not be bothered to watch their argument. He said indifferently to the police, “Now that the procedure has been completed, deal with it as you should.” 

“Alright, Mr. Swanson.” The police officer nodded and came to Pamela. “You’re suspected of falsely reporting a crime and disturbing our work. You will be detained for five days. Come with us now!” 

With that, they forcibly escorted Pamela out. 

Seeing that she was really going to be taken to the police station for detention, Pamela could not care less about maintaining her image in front of Ken. As she struggled, she shouted, “Let go of me! Mr. Swanson, don’t forget that my father is a long–term partner of Swanson Universal Entertainment. You’re not the chairman of the Swanson Group yet! Aren’t you afraid that my father will cancel the collaboration with you?” 

This was probably how love turned into hatred. She was stunned by Ken’s handsomeness and hated him for detaining her in order to help Melody. Troy’s face darkened. He wanted to stop Pamela from continuing, but it was too late. 

Pamela quickly said, “If Mr. Ramon comes back and finds out what you have done, you might not even be able to keep your position as the heir!” 

“Shut up! Shut up!” Troy was so anxious that his eyes were red. 

However, the police were blocking him. He could not cover Pamela’s mouth at all. 

Pamela did not understand why her father was so nervous. She frowned in disdain and reminded him, “Dad, why are you afraid of him? Didn’t you say that he’s only in charge of the Swanson Group for the moment? He’s not even the chairman of the Swanson Group, yet he dares to attack his partners like this. Ken, aren’t you afraid that your father will punish you?” 

“Idiot! Shut up!” Troy stomped his feet anxiously. 

Ken said with a faint smile, “Troy, your daughter is really amazing. You told her everything about me managing the company. Why didn’t you tell her that the reason why the Clark Fashion Group could become a partner of Swanson Universal Entertainment was because you begged me? Did she say that because you wanted to cancel the collaboration with us?” 

Troy felt weak. Suddenly, he bent his knees and knelt down to Ken. “Mr. Swanson, you’re a generous person. This wretched girl is insensible. Don’t lower yourself to her level! The Swanson Group is our company’s life savior. I’ve never forgotten this! Please don’t terminate the contract with us!”
