Chapter 483 She Didn’t Die But He…
Jeffrey turned and looked at the tears in her eyes after all the suffering. He couldn’t say anything anymore. He stood up and turned around, but didn’t turn to look at her.
He would explain everything to her once the ship was docked tomorrow and she was safe.
The bald man left the room that imprisoned them.
His subordinate couldn’t help but praise, “Boss, the master really does have a lot of foresight! Melanie has fallen for his schemes! And here I was worried that Melanie would suspect Jeffrey
seeing that he made it so vague!”
“That’s the smart part of his plans!”
The bald man explained in his hoarse voice. “The master said that the key to success of this plan is the human mind! He knows Melanie well; she’s smart and self–confident, that’s why we can only reveal crumbs of clues for her. That’s why we’ve used William Moore’s Al generated voice. She would only believe the conclusion when she herself comes up with it. If we gave her too many
clues, she might become suspicious instead!”
“We’re docking tomorrow. Once we’re docked, what should we do with Jeffrey?” He asked again.
“Leave it to the master.”
The bald man then said, “And the child in Melanie’s womb… The master said that it cannot be left
behind. Once we’re docked, find a way to deal with it!”
“Boss, Jeffrey does have good eyes. While that woman is pregnant, that look and that figure of her is so seductive! Since we’re going to deal with her kid anyway, we can use some… other
measures, right?”
The lackey scratched the back of his head. “We’ve been on the ocean for two months now and
we’re all a bit ravenous…‘
“What are you thinking about?!”
The bald man smacked the lackey’s head and shouted, “Even I wouldn’t dare do anything to her, so you can forget about it! The master wants Melanie in one piece! What if she dies of a heart attack while you’re having your fun with her? How am I supposed to explain this to the master?”
The lackey lowered his head and didn’t dare say a thing.
After Melanie took her medicine, she was getting sleepy. She fell asleep as she curled into a ball on the bed when sleepiness took hold of her.
The next day. Daylight.
She was woken up by the sound of the door opening.
The masked man walked in and said, “Come up! The ship is docking soon!”
She opened her eyes and saw Jeffrey sitting on a chair opposite them. Seemed like he hadn’t slept for the whole night.
“Mr. Morgan, please come with us. To prevent you from pulling any tricks, we’ll be holding her.” The bald man issued his order and his lackeys came in. They took hold of Melanie and were going to take her away without saying another word.
“Be gentle! If she loses so much as a hair, I’ll make sure you all die with her!” Jeffrey said angrily.
“Sure, sure!”
The bald man narrowed his eyes and ordered his men to take Melanie away first.
Jeffrey immediately walked over. “You can hold her, but she needs to remain within my sight! I’m here for her. If I can’t be sure of her safety, how am I supposed to help you?”
The bald man gave it a thought and nodded. He then ordered his lackeys to hold Melanie tightly and placed the gun on the back of her waist, walking behind him and Jeffrey.
Soon after, the ship slowed down.
They were going through customs.
Jeffrey walked over and spoke a few words with the customs officer, who nodded. Secretly, he wiggled his finger. The other officers behind him, who were disguised Morgan Group bodyguards,
received their secret orders.
The ship started again and left.
The bald man and the other masked men heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Jeffrey suddenly spun around and straight away headed toward the bald man. He quickly extended his hand into this pocket and grabbed his chewing gum.
Before the bald man could even react, Jeffrey had already flattened a chewing gum and placed it on a pillar before turning around and jumping toward Melanie, who was being held.

All Melanie could feel was that she fell back first onto the deck. It was painful, but Jeffrey’s arm cushioned her head.
Boom!
A white smoke burst out about 2 meters ahead.
Suddenly, their vision was completely blurred,
The masked men were thrown into chaos as the sounds of gunfire surrounded them.
Jeffrey protected her and swung out his leg, sweeping off a masked man who he had been targeting off his feet. The gun fell on the deck, and he grabbed it while helping Melanie hide
behind a pillar.
A gunfight had started beyond the pillar.
When the bald man knew that he had been outplayed, he raised his gun and kept on firing at Jeffrey’s general direction with red eyes.
Jeffrey fired back with calm eyes. He was not nervous at all.
Meanwhile, he hid Melanie close to his chest. Melanie could hear his heartbeat, and it was very calm; he wasn’t nervous even when he was fighting in a hail of bullets.
Only then did she realize that she’d misunderstood him…
If this was just an act, there was no need for him to use real bullets…
Very quickly, the people outside who were attempting the rescue were on the advantage. They began rushing onto the ship.
The masked men were preparing to retreat.
The bald man looked at Jeffrey with regret. Before escaping, he threw a grenade over!
When she saw that object flying ever closer to her, Melanie could feel the reaper’s scythe.
Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed as he dove toward Melanie and shielded her under his body.
Boom!
The sound of an explosion rang in their ears as rocks and splinters flew everywhere, and they were choked by the smell of gunpowder.
They held their breaths.
After a long while, Melanie could finally hear the voices of people talking. It was then that she
3/4
But Jeffrey was kneeling, still shielding her. There was some distance between his frozen arms and her, as if he was worried that he would hurt her and her child. Blood was dripping from the hair on his forehead. When it dripped right on her face, she could feel the chill in her bones.
His bloodied eyes locked with hers, and she could still see his nervousness for her and his calmness for the fight… But… His eyes were frozen…
