Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

After the door was closed, Astrid’s facial expression became better. 

Astrid asked the servant to take the medicine from Melody secretly. Astrid did not discuss it with Ulric. As she thought about it, she felt a lingering fear. 

At that time, the servant said it was Astrid’s instruction. Astrid would not be able to get away if somebody found out. She was indeed guilty of the act. 

As she thought about it, Astrid felt it was fortunate that the servant did not grab the medicine from Melody’s hand. 

Now, Astrid became fidgety. She walked toward Ulric and asked, “Do you have any better plans?” 

The expression on Ulric’s face was terrible. “We have to know what they are up to. I’ll get to know her first. Don’t act rashly in case they know our next move. Whatever happened at the medicinal shop was already a warning. Don’t do anything without asking me first again.” 

Astrid nodded and said, “Yes, yes!” 

front of t 

She seemed to have lost her aura in front of her son. She spoke to him as though she wanted to please him. 

She loved Ulric, but at the same time, she was afraid of him. 

Back then, it was Ulric’s idea to frame Ken, When Astrid heard that it was his idea, she had a big shock. 

When she saw Ulric cripple his own legs emotionlessly, she had nightmares over and over again. She even developed a high fever. 

A person who could hurt himself so viciously would not treat others with compassion. 

Ulrich added, “Oh yes, don’t forget to get the doctor to go over and check. We have to act as though everything was real.” “Oh yes! I’ll go now… Astrid patted the back of her head.. 

In Margaret’s room. 

When Melody brought the herbal medicine into Margaret’s room, it was still piping hot. 

Melody intentionally mentioned what just happened downstairs: After Margaret heard that, she did not give it much thought. She said, “Astrid has a suspicious nature. However, she did that because of me. Don’t bother about this matter. Astrid didn’t mean to suspect you. 

Melody felt helpless. Margaret and her grandmother were the same. They treated the hypocrites in their families very well They didn’t realize that these hypocrites were wolves in sheep’s clothing, waiting to seize an opportunity to destroy them. 

However, Melody had no evidence, and she was an outsider. She was in no position to say these things. Hence, she kept quiet and nodded her head. She looked at Ken who stood by the bedside. Ken’s expression was gloomy. He was obviously getting 

angry 

Even Margaret realized something was wrong. She asked with a puzzled tone, “Ken, what’s the matter? Are you feeling okay? Why do you look angry?” 

“I’m fine, Grandma.” Ken shook his head, trying very hard to look natural and calm. He sat by Margaret’s bedside and said, “I’m just worried about you.” 

1/3 

“Silly boy, it will take some time before I get well Margaret smiled contentedly. 

Melody sighed quietly. It was best not to let the elderly know what happened. If not, they would be depressed, and it would affect their health. 

It was obvious that Ken had the same thought. When he saw Astrul bring the doctor in, he did not say anything nor greet Astrid. He treated Astrid as though she was invisible. 

After examining Margaret, the doctor confirmed there was nothing in the medicine that she was allergic to. Margaret then took the medicine from Melody and drank everything. She mumbled that everyone was being overly worried. 

After drinking the medicine. Margaret looked surprised and asked, “Why isn’t the medicine bitter?” 

Melody’s eyes narrowed as she smiled. “The main ingredient of this medicine is walnuts. Hence it won’t be really bitter. Oh yes, Ken helped in grinding the walnuts into powder form 

As Melody explained, she did not forget to mention Ken’s help. Although Ken still did not bother to talk to her, and his attitude toward her was not good, Melody already treated him as a friend. 

Or maybe Melody owed it to him in their previous lives if there were such things. When Melody mentioned Ken, Margaret’s gaze was full of gentleness and affection for Ken. “Ken, why didn’t you tell me that you have done many things for me?” 

Ken threw a glance at Melody and then turned to look at Margaret. “These are trivial things. I don’t think it is necessary to mention them.” Margaret felt very touched, 

Ken was young, Margaret already loved him very much. However, she was fair and did not show any unbiasedness. she realized that compared to Ulrich. Ken was more thoughtful and caring toward her. 

“You are really considerate, Margaret commented and did not say anymore. However, she took note of all the good that Ken had done. 

Astrid was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, she did not dare to show her dissatisfaction on her face. 

This bitch had been bribed by Ken! 

Well, it could work well. If Melody and Ken cooperated, and something happened to Margaret, Melody would get into deep trouble, and Ken would also need to face serious consequences. 

Astrid calmed down after thinking of that. She spoke as though she was upset. “Ken is really caring. However, Ulrich could not do as much as Ken. Mom, please don’t think that Ulrich is not concerned about you. When you fell sick, Ulrich came here to keep you company every day. He was worried that you would develop negative thoughts. But you understand that Ulrich…” 

When Astrid wanted to continue talking. Melody found an opportunity to interrupt, “Margaret, I forgot to say this just now. After drinking the medicine, you have to take some medicine orally 

Melody continued. These are some tablets with herbal ingredients that I have formulated. You need to eat them together with the medicine that you have just taken. Please swallow them now so that the medicine will be effective. 

When Margaret heard this, she did not bother about Astrid’s nagging. She took the tablets and swallowed them immediately. 

The tablets tasted very bitter. Margaret quickly asked the servant to bring a spoonful of honey. She did not bother about what Astrid had said about Ulrich. 

Seeing that Margaret totally ignored her, Astrid blamed Melody If she could, she would have strangled Melody. However, at this time, she could only look at Melody who was standing in front of her and cursed her in her heart. 

She was very worried that she could not control her emotions and would have a confrontation with Melody. Hence, she quickly came up with an excuse and left the room.

After Margaret had finished taking the medicine, Melody went to prepare some ointment. However, Melody did not need it today, so she asked James to keep the medicine carefully. Then Melody said goodbye to Margaret and was about to leave. 

Margaret did not want Melody to leave as she knew that Melody was a very gentle and caring girl. If she were by Margaret’s side, she would feel very comfortable and secure. 

Margaret held Melody’s hand and asked, “Why don’t you stay a little longer? Or stay here for the next few days? In that case, you don’t have to make many trips here and back 

Thank 

you for your kind suggestion, but it is okay. I just returned to Silverlake, and my grandma also misses me a lot. Her health has not been very good recently. I would like to keep her company. But don’t worry, I’ll be here punctually every day. 

After hearing that, Margaret relented. She reminded Melody to take care of her grandmother and check her health. 

As Melody was about to leave. Margaret instructed Ken to send Melody home.
