Chapter 481 You Won’t Die With Me Here
Jeffrey looked at the woman that was tied to the bed. Her limbs were thin, her face skeletal, her hair scattered, and even the sight of her being visibly pregnant even though she was lying there… All of this made his heart tremble uncontrollably.
“You came as expected, Mr. Morgan,” the bald man spoke.
“So this is how you’re taking good care of her?!” Jeffrey asked, his eyes showing his lust for blood.
“Don’t be so angry, Mr. Morgan!”
The bald man came closer and gave the people behind him a look. His lackey, who had his face. covered, began to search Jeffrey’s body.
“He’s clean, boss. Except for this.”
The lackey extended his hand, showing a stick containing 12 pieces of bubble gum.
The bald man frowned and took them all, before unwrapping one and started chewing it. “I didn’t expect that you would like this!” And then, he carefully put the remaining gum into his pocket.
Jeffrey ignored him as he walked over to Melanie, moving the lackeys that wanted to stop him with his arm before reaching for her. He looked at her hands that were bound before turning and glaring at the bald man, his voice hostile.
“Let her go and I’ll come with you!”
“Let her go? That’s impossible.”
The bald man let out a cold smile as he chewed the gum, but his words were even more terrifying. “If you still have that much energy, then you should go with her to Delfino to live the rest of your life! Take him back to his room!”
The bald man’s smile dropped, and he turned around, leaving the cabin behind as he ordered his
lackeys.
The lackey whose face was hidden freed Melanie’s hands, after which Jeffrey picked her up like a princess, pain in his heart. He simply let the masked men lead them to another room. The room. had no window and it was completely sealed.
The door was closed.
Jeffrey carefully placed her on the bed as he moved cautiously. He then scanned her before saying. “Are you hurt? How is your tummy? They said that your tummy hurt a lot?” All he could do
There was a hint of undetectable tenderness in Melanie’s eyes, but she looked away after giving
him a look.
She didn’t expect that he would come.
Their current situation had to be even more complicated than she’d initially estimated. With him here, she was even more nervous, and she didn’t feel safe like how she used to.
Jeffrey didn’t know that her heart had just been taken on a roller coaster ride, and simply thought that he had scared her. He carefully caressed her in his arms and said, “Don’t be scared. No matter what we have to face, I’ll always be by your side. As long as I’m alive, you’ll be safe.”
Melanie pouted and asked, “How’s my mom, the professor and Yelena?”
“William’s working on it. They’re not on this ship.”

Jeffrey then let her go after a while, his arm still guessing it to be, then this was planned by both Nathan and the Yorks. Their base’s address was leaked out, and they wanted to capture me, you, and Yelena all at the same time.”
Melanie’s eyes were cold, and her expression remained calm.
“How did the base’s address get leaked? The doctor said that there was no one suspicious around the island in the past two days.” She finally spoke, but her tone was still cold.
Jeffrey didn’t think too much about it and thought that she was still shocked. “We’re working on
it.”
“The easiest way for the York siblings not to share any of the inheritance with me and Pamela is to kill us. Why are they keeping us alive?” she continued asking.
“I believe Nathan wants Emma’s heart,” Jeffrey said.
“If that’s the e case, what’s his reason for keeping my child?” she asked, words growing frantic.
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes and looked at him and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
“You can stop investigating because you won’t be able to find the answer. Have you ever heard of the proverb ‘the pot calling the kettle black?“” Her tone was grim.
“You…”
Jeffrey frowned, and finally realized what she meant by that. “You think that I was the one that
arranged the assassination?”
“Aren’t you?”
She stared right into her eyes without backing up.
