Jeffrey thought with clenched fists, and he suppressed the urge to caress Melanie’s belly.
Melanie seized the chance while he was spacing out to snatch her medicine case back. She put the strap on her shoulders before opening the door.
Professor Turner was waiting outside the door. When he saw them, he asked in shock, “Done so
fast?”
“Yes. Why don’t you prescribe me some medicine?” Jeffrey bowed his head to look at the woman before him, who was still looking downward, and fought for more time with her.
“I can’t treat this condition of yours. You’d better consult another doctor,” Melanie said. She left
without even looking back.
“Is that so? I thought you’re the only one who can cure him of this condition,” Professor Turner
chimed in.
Melanie glared at him. He pursed his lips, no longer daring to speak up for Jeffrey. He put his
hands behind his back, and walked out with Melanie.
They left the hotel and got into the car.
Melanie looked sullen in the car. Professor Turner remained silent.
“Sigh!”
He ended up being the first to admit his mistake.
“That Jeffrey couldn’t eat and sleep, and kept asking me about you over the past few days. He’s on the verge of being proven innocent, isn’t he? That’s why I arranged for this meeting, for fear he might die if this were to go on…”
“He’s not yet proven innocent, is he?” Melanie counter–questioned.
Professor Turner sighed again.
“He’s young and fit. I won’t feel the pinch if he goes hungry or falls sick, but don’t you miss him too? Don’t think that I can’t tell just because you’re being stubborn. You deliberately spend all your time reading my notes because you’re afraid of receiving his calls and hearing any news about Morgan Group. I’m worried about you!”

“I’m fine.”
Melanie shut her eyes, refusing to say more.
“Fine? You’re not gaining any weight except for your growing belly. You yourself can’t sleep well when no one’s around, either,” Professor Turner said, providing her with some evidence.
“I can’t sleep because of hormonal changes, on top of being worried about my mom’s condition,”
Melanie said stubbornly.
Professor Turner scoffed, leaving Melanie be.
Before their car arrived at the base, Annie called Melanie and asked anxiously, “Melanie, where
are you?”
“Professor Turner and I are almost reaching the base. What happened?”
The first thought that came to Melanie’s mind was that something had happened to her mother,
and she couldn’t help but feel anxious as well.
“Don’t come over just yet!” Annie swiftly updated Melanie, “The Yorks came by just now, inviting Ms. York and you to the York estate. The thing is, they emphasized that you must go back too.
This must be a trap!”
Melanie looked down on her lap.
The Yorks requested for Yelena to go back home every now and then so that they could make sure that she was safe. Over the past two months, Yelena had been going home every half a month before returning to the base to continue with her treatment.
Melanie accompanied Yelena only on her first time back at the York estate. She did not do so the next two times as her stomach was showing, and she didn’t want her pregnancy to be exposed.
“Just say that the Professor and I are out for consultations,” Melanie suggested.
“I said that, but they insisted on leaving only after you’re back.”
“Is this Joseph York’s idea, or someone else’s?” Melanie asked with furrowed brows.
“I think it’s not his intent, otherwise the butler would come in person. As for the man who’s here.. I remember seeing him by Harlow’s side,” Annie said.
Harlow?
Melanie pondered for a moment. “We won’t go back for now. Try to hold them back. If they still
refuse to leave after two hours, I’ll give the Yorks a call.”

After Annie agreed to it. Melante hung up and Informed Professor Turner about the situation. The driver immediately made a U–turn at the junction right head and returned to Jeffrey’s hotel which was nearby, according to the professor’s instructions,
“Why are we going to his hotel?” Melanie sald with tightly knitted brows.
“Since the Yorks have come prepared, you should only have one house call duty,” Professor Turner sald with a half–smile.
Left with no choice, Melanie had to knock on Jeffrey’s door once more with her medicine case.
“The Yorks came knocking on her door, Insisting on seeing her. We have no choice but to hide at your place!” Professor Turner sald unceremoniously.
With that, he stretched out his stiff limbs, put his hands behind his back and looked around. “I’m tired. How many bedrooms does this sulte have? I need a nap!”
“Professor, this way please.” William responded while bringing away everyone else in the room.
Jeffrey stood at the door in pleasant surprise, looking at Melanie like a gift he lost. A joyful glint flashed past his eyes, so bright it sent shivers down Melanle’s spine.
Back at the research base, the Yorks had been waiting at the door for over an hour. Upon seeing no signs of Melanie and Professor Turner’s return, they were left with no choice but to call Harlow to report to him about the situation.
“Mr. York, Melanie Jones is not back yet. Ms. York is getting frustrated waiting for her. Should we send her back home first?”
“Continue waiting!” Harlow instructed stubbornly, “I’ve sent someone over to fetch my aunt. None of you are allowed to leave that place, and don’t come back until you get Melanie!”
After Harlow hung up, his subordinate standing behind him asked, puzzled, “Mr. York, why are you Insisting on seeing Melanie?”
“Just look at the photos you gave me yesterday. What is this?”
Harlow pointed at a blurry photo of Melanie and Yelena, shot secretly outside the base by his subordinate.
“Would a normal woman have such a huge belly?” Harlow said darkly as his eyes narrowed.
