Chapter 402 Handsy
“At first, I did have the intention of seeking revenge. I planned to recover my health as quickly as possible
abroad, and return to seek revenge once I was healed. However, before I returned, your father had an accident.
“I did send people to investigate at that time, but all evidence indicated that it was a genuine accident. The driver responsible for the accident was drunk, and is still in prison. I didn’t pay much attention to that incident afterward, until you mentioned that the Snows found out and caused others to look into it.”
Jeffrey began explaining, trying to share everything he knew with Melanie. He trusted her sharp mind to make
the right judgments.
“Regarding the surgeon who performed your surgery back then, Nathan lied to you about one thing,” Jeffrey
continued. “After completing your surgery, Clement continued working in the hospital for more than a year. He
disappeared suddenly only after your father’s accident. Several other medical staff who knew about the
surgery also disappeared. The cardiology department was dismantled and reorganized. Isn’t that too much of
a coincidence?”
“My mom had investigated this as well.” Melanie’s eyes darkened. “But when my father passed away, Jones
Enterprise was in turmoil. The medical department became fragmented, several hospitals faced bankruptcy,
and the surviving hospitals had mass resignations. The hospital where I had the surgery was also in turmoil.
That explains the people leaving and the restructuring of the department.
“However, no matter how you look at it, all the evidence now proves that the car accident was not an accident.
Someone killed my father…”
“That’s enough.” Jeffrey couldn’t stand seeing her frowning and looking worried. His own brows furrowed
deeper.
“Leave these matters to me to investigate. Right now, you need to quit your habit of worrying. As the doctor said, because of your physical condition, pregnancy is more challenging for you. Your heart is already under greater stress, and you can’t overexert yourself.”
Melanie raised an eyebrow, looking at him. “I haven’t said I trust you yet.”
Jeffrey wrapped an arm around her, placed his palm gently on her abdomen, and caressed her belly. “You’re the mother of my child. I won’t betray you, even if I betray the whole world.”
With that, he leaned in to kiss her. They were very close to each other.
Melanie sneered, pushing his arm away. “Stay away from me.”
Jeffrey didn’t give up. “The show’s already over…”
However, she didn’t allow him to come near her. “I’m a germaphobe. You just let another woman get handsy with you, and I find it repulsive.”
She deliberately moved away from him.
“Get handsy?” Jeffrey pursed his thin lips, looking helpless. “Do you have a misunderstanding about this term?”

“Did she touch here?” Melanie pointed at his face, not letting up.
Jeffrey nodded.
“And here? Did she touch it or not?” Melanie pointed at his hand.
Jeffrey nodded again.
“Isn’t that considered getting handsy?” Melanie insisted.
Jeffrey’s eyes dilated, his Adam’s apple bobbing. He reached out to grab her hand. “It seems you really have a misunderstanding about this term. How about I personally demonstrate what getting handsy really means?”
The two of them were bantering when Jeffrey’s phone rang.
It was a call from the Morgan Residence, and the servant solemnly informed him that Madam Morgan had returned to the country for a few days and that couldn’t sleep every night, making her look haggard. Madam Morgan also kept mentioning him and Melanie, wondering why they hadn’t come to see her.
Melanie, upon hearing this, hurriedly said, “If she continues like this, she’ll get sick. Let’s go see her quickly.”
“I’m too familiar with Grandma’s tricks. If she has the servant call me, it means she’s fine.” Jeffrey was calm.” But Grandma has been urging me to bring you to see her for a long time. Going there this time, there might be
a trap waiting for us.”
“Such as?” she asked.
“Grandma is tricky, so I can’t predict what she has in store for us. In any case, be mentally prepared,” Jeffrey helplessly said.
On the way to the Morgan Residence, Melanie occasionally reminded the driver to drive slower.
Although Jeffrey had rested for a day and his wound had significantly improved, she was still afraid that he
might have more problems.
To prevent Madam Morgan from worrying. Jeffrey ordered both the company and the hospital to keep his injury a secret. Madam Morgan still didn’t know.
When they were getting close to the Morgan Residence, Jeffrey’s phone rang.
He answered it, listened for a few seconds, and hung up. Then, he said to Melanie, “The car that came out with
Luis has been identified. Harlow is also in Harbor City.”
Harlow? Melanie blinked. “Could this explain why the people investigating my father’s accident are related to
the Yorks? Perhaps Harlow has been Nathan’s accomplice for a long time…”
Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, but didn’t say anything.
From his understanding of this matter, those secretly investigating Tyler’s accident and background were probably sent by the Yorks. Perhaps they had already become suspicious of Tyler’s identity.
This matter had been kept a secret for decades, and would be dug out again one day, especially since the
person searching for the truth was the powerful York family.

He deliberately revealed to her that the people investigating Tyler were related to the Yorks because he wanted her to be mentally prepared in advance…
The car arrived at the Morgan Residence.
As soon as Madam Morgan saw them, she pulled Melanie aside, inquiring about her well–being and teasing, “I thought you were busy perfume–blending abroad, ignoring me and my grandson.”
“Grandma, how could I bear to ignore you?” Melanie laughed.
Madam Morgan also laughed. “Well, it seems you are just ignoring my foolish grandson then…”
She sighed.
Madam Morgan glanced at Jeffrey, suddenly looking surprised. “What’s wrong with you, child? You don’t look so good. Is your kidney acting up?”
