Chapter 439 The Surgeon
The next night, Eliza took Melanie to the charity gala.
As Eliza was going to spend some time catching up with old friends, Melanie moved to the side after greeting them.
She took a plate and went over to the buffet table, wanting to take something to eat, then
something interesting at the bullet area.
A young girl was eating quickly. The plate she was holding was so full of food that the plate’s white color was completely covered, but she was still eyeing the desserts and piling them onto her plate. The amount of food on her plate had formed into a small hill.
Melanie walked over with her plate when the girl suddenly tripped over her own shoes. Before she slipped, Melanie grabbed her by the arm and held her up.
“Melanie! You’re here!” Pam exclaimed in surprise.
“You’re not used to wearing high heels. Who gave you such a difficult outfit to wear?” Melanie
asked.
“Shush!”
Pam signaled to Melanie not to say that. “It’s from Mr. Quinn. I like it a lot! See, I look so nice in
this!”
Melanie could only nod with a smile as she looked at Pam, who couldn’t help but do a twirl in her
dress in delight.
At this time, Pam saw that a few women were sneering at her. She peeked at the two plates that were filled with food next to her and used her body to cover them in embarrassment.
Melanie noticed that Pam wasn’t used to this, so she glanced at the women. She then added some food into her plate and said, “I saw that you took this as well. This is turkey drizzled in tuna sauce–it’s quite delicious. Let’s have some together!”
With that, Melanie started eating without batting an eye.
It was only when Pam saw that Melanie was enjoying it so much without a care that she slowly moved away so that it wasn’t blocking the plates anymore. Then, she started eating slowly.
“I took too much…” Pam said as she ate.
“Don’t worry. You’ll learn in time.”

Melanie explained and consoled her. “Next time, remember to take some appetizers and entrees first before taking desserts. Desserts are meant to be eaten last to finish up your meal.”
Pam couldn’t help but nod.
Melanie then said, “There’s nothing wrong with liking good food. It’s part of human nature. Don’t worry about how others perceive you.”
“Mr. Quinn brought me here. I’m worried that I’ll embarrass him,” Pam said as she lowered her
head.
Melanie put down her fork and looked at her. “Your Mr. Quinn hasseen so many women like that, but why did he set his eyes on you? It’s because you’re special! That’s why there’s no need to change yourself.”
“That’s right!”
“I like how you’re being your most genuine self!”
At this time, a man’s voice rang close to them. Melanie raised her head, unsurprised to see Nathan walking over.
“Long time no see, Melanie.” Nathan greeted with a smile.
“It hasn’t been that long, Nathan,” Melanie replied with a smile.
Pam was shocked as she looked at them. “You… Know each other?”
“I haven’t had the chance to tell you,” Nathan said to Pam with a gentle demeanor. He lowered his head before saying, “I forgot to consider that you might not be used to wearing such a long dress. Go with my secretary and change into another outfit.”
“No, no!”
Pam shook her hands. “I… I’ll get used to it!”
“Go on. It’s in my car, so it’s quite convenient,” Nathan insisted. Behind him, a woman secretary
was already standing behind him nearby.
“Go on, change into another dress. You’ll be able to move more freely.” Melanie encouraged. Only
then did Pam nod and leave with that secretary.
After they were away, Melanie put down the plate and looked at Nathan. “Is there something you
wanted to say to me by intentionally getting Pam out of the way?”
“It’s so frustrating when you’re always so smart,” Nathan said with a smile.

There was no expression on Melanie’s face. “Pam is head over heels for you right now, so she’ll definitely change into her new outfit as soon as possible. Why don’t you make this short?”
“Alright. I’ll get to the point.”
Nathan straightened his collars and said, “I have something important to tell you. Do you still remember the surgeon that did the surgery all those years ago? Clement Meyer? I finally found out where he is and met up with him.”
“I asked him if Emma really couldn’t be saved by the time she reached the hospital. I didn’t expect that he would tell me yes. He said that your father didn’t give you Emma’s heart from his own selfishness, even though she was already braindead at the time.”
Melanie looked at Nathan curiously before saying, “Are you trying to tell me that what you told me
earlier was all fake?”
“Jeffrey’s the one that told me that your father decided on his own whims to exchange Emma’s life for yours. He said that Clement told him the truth because he couldn’t live with it. I only just met up with Clement, and he personally told me that this didn’t happen!” Nathan said as he
clenched his fists.
Melanie narrowed her eyes and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
“I’m saying that Jeffrey lied to me. That he couldn’t bear the pain of losing Emma. That was why he shifted his hatred to you and your father. He lived so that he could get his revenge.” Nathan
said.
“So, you’re trying to tell me that Jeffrey lied to me as well? That’s the reason that he got close to me and is with me right now? Is it all fake?”
Nathan nodded. “Clement is still in Medonia right now. If you don’t believe me, I can arrange for a video conference. You can ask him personally.”
