Chapter 2 Thank Him
It was dark, and Melanie didn’t know how long it had been.
Melanie fell asleep after he quieted down. When she opened her eyes again, suddenly she could see.
She saw the heavy silk curtains and the bed with its exquisitely carved headboard.
Everything was exactly what she thought it would be.
Melanie looked down at her body. Except for the bruises, she looked quite clean.
She felt good and smelled the man’s fresh fragrance.
She was tired, but she felt fine.
That man was not bad!
Melanie’s face turned red.
What the man said last night seemed to be echoing in her ears.
“Don’t be afraid. I will marry you,” he said.
Melanie shuddered.
She believed that she must be crazy.
How could she think about this at this time?
Melanie gritted her teeth and shook her head heavily.
It was just a deal. She shouldn’t overthink about it.
Although Melanie didn’t see the man’s face, she felt that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
He must be someone she couldn’t mess around with.
Melanie thought she should thank him for saving her life.
Thinking of Vanessa who caused everything, Melanie closed her eyes and wiped away her tears.
She was not dead. She still had a chance to change everything.
Melanie wanted to go back and ask Vanessa about everything.
Melanie planned to leave since the man was not around now.
So Melanie got out of bed quickly.
There were many men’s clothes in the wardrobe. Although they were a little big for Melanie, they were better than her dirty clothes.
Melanie put on a white shirt and the man’s coat.
Well, she looked like wearing a short dress.
Melanie was 5.5 feet tall, and the man had to be at least 6.2 feet tall since his shirt was so long.
A tall man’s figure flashed through Melanie’s mind.
What a pity that she didn’t see the man’s face!
Thinking of this, Melanie left the hotel quickly.
She remembered that her mother had told her to ask her grandpa for help if there was anything wrong.
But at the moment, Melanie couldn’t even pay for a phone call.
Helplessly, Melanie sold the string of red pearls that she had been wearing for a sum of money.
It was one of two things Melanie’s mother had left her and the only thing she still had.
After a few days of trip, Melanie finally reached an island in Rhodania.
Melanie’s grandfather Zander Thomas, Rhodania’s earliest immigrant from Zerivia, was the owner of the island.
When Melanie got to Tranquilora Island, she was safe.
However, occasional periods of vision impairment would suddenly occur to Melanie from time to time.
Zander hired dozens of ophthalmologists to treat Melanie.
However, the diagnosis results were surprisingly consistent. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Melanie’s eyes might never be healed, and she could go blind forever, due to intense psychological and physical stimulation.
But Melanie didn’t care. She had been thinking about going back to Zerivia and figuring out everything.
Melanie wanted to ask Vanessa why she wanted to kill her!
When Melanie finally persuaded Zander to help her return home for revenge, she found that she could not leave.
Melanie was pregnant with more than one baby.
The thought that she would have three lovely babies in a few months softened Melanie’s heart.
Later, Melanie gave birth to three adorable babies, all like little angels.
With their tiny, rosy fingers clutching hers and their little mouths pouting, they called her vaguely, “Mommy… Mommy…”
It was like therapy, accelerating the healing of her wounded heart.
She indulged in the warmth.
Seven years passed by quickly.
Seven years later, Melanie and her cousin Angie Thomas walked into the VIP lounge at Sakura International Airport in Solustria.
In a room with screens all over the walls, a young man with short hair suddenly pointed at the screen and shouted, “Look at that woman!”
A big man who was playing video game lost his game. Then he pounced at the young man with short hair and was about to beat him.
“Carl! Look! It’s that woman! Mr. Lambert’s woman!”
The young man with short hair kept struggling and shouting, “Look!”
Hearing this, Carl was startled and immediately looked at the screen.
The woman on the screen was stunningly beautiful!
Goodness gracious! How could there be such a gorgeous creature in the world?
The woman’s delicate little face was unforgettable at first sight.
Her cascading long hair resembled a waterfall, while her eyes and eyebrows exuded delicate grace.
Her flawless and smooth skin exuded a warm and lustrous glow that captivated viewers across the screen.
Carl said hurriedly, “Hurry up! Picture!”
The short-haired young man hurriedly searched for a photo on the computer and compared it with the face on the screen carefully.
The same nose and lips.
They looked exactly the same!
That was her!
It was the woman seven years ago!
Carl burst out laughing excitedly and slammed the table. “I found her! I’ve done a great job!
“Hurry up! Call Mr. Lambert!” said Carl.
In the lounge, Melanie was helplessly listening to Angie’s nagging.
“Melanie, you should have asked Grandpa’s opinion before going back this time. If you leave directly without his permission, he will send someone to take you back when he knows it,” Angie
persuaded Melanie.
“Grandpa won’t,” replied Melanie.
Her tone was firm and she continued, “Besides, I’ve left the kids to play with him.”
“I’m afraid those little ones will follow you if you leave,” Angie said.
“No, Edward promised me that he would wait for Grandpa to end his cultivation,” Melanie said.
“Only you will believe those kids,” Angie said.
She laughed and then frowned.
“Speaking of which, Grandpa has been ignoring the business for a long time. It’s beyond brothers’ reach to help you. Have you figured out what to do when you return home?” Angie asked.
“No matter what it takes, I will make Vanessa regret what she has done and find out the truth about my mother’s death,” Melanie said coldly.
“What if Eric’s information is correct and Vanessa is really your father’s biological daughter?” Angie asked.
As Angie spoke, her body trembled uncontrollably with anger.
“Aunt Sherry must have known it. Maybe that was why she died early,” said Angie.
Angie threw herself into Melanie’s arms and began to cry.
“If it hadn’t been for Aunt Sherry’s sudden death, Grandma wouldn’t have left us forever,” Angie said sadly.
Melanie held Angie in her arms, closed her eyes, and suppressed the tears in her eyes.
Back then, Melanie’s mother, Sherry Robertson, was born into a prestigious family renowned for their medical skills and artistic abilities. Sherry displayed a remarkable talent for painting from a young age and garnered numerous awards for her exceptional skills.
Melanie’s father, Steve Robertson, was an emerging art dealer.
At that time, Steve and Sherry fell in love and they seemed to be a perfect match.
Later, Sherry died of illness.
Tracy, Sherry’s best friend, took good care of Melanie as if Melanie were her own daughter.
Therefore, Steve married Tracy in a high-profile manner and loved Vanessa very much.
In Melanie’s memory, since Vanessa became a member of her family, Steve had rarely treated Melanie nicely and asked her to take care of Vanessa all the time.
It seemed that Melanie had become Steve’s stepdaughter, while Vanessa became the real Ms. Robertson.
Thinking back now, Melanie realized that Tracy’s care was a cover-up!
Tracy and Vanessa had been plotting against Melanie for a long time. Melanie hated that she didn’t see their true colors earlier!
Tracy and Vanessa set Melanie up in Solustria seven years ago.
Over the past few years, Melanie’s cousin Eric Thomas had investigated the matter and got the result.
It was Vanessa and Tracy who wanted to kill Melanie back then.
It was because Melanie had an engagement with the eldest son of the Smith family!
Eric also suspected the death of Sherry was not that simple.
Steve probably had an affair with Tracy before Sherry got pregnant. Then Tracy gave birth to Vanessa before Melanie was born.
It was ridiculous that Melanie had always treated Vanessa like her sister.
Thinking of this, Melanie clenched her hands and trembled slightly.
Melanie would not let any one of them go. Vanessa, Tracy and Steve!
Suddenly it was dark and Melanie couldn’t see.
