Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 484: Jian Ru wakes up: She killed Han and Barrett Carter…
A moment later, his expression changed suddenly, and he urgently spoke to Muir: "No, the Poison hasn’t been resolved!"
Upon hearing this, Muir immediately questioned in confusion: "What’s going on? Melody had clearly regained her consciousness, shouldn’t that mean the Poison was resolved?"
Tannis: "..."
Although he was a skilled doctor, he really did not understand much about the Poison, or rather, he had only heard of it.
Seeing Tannis remain silent, Muir anxiously urged, "Say something! What on earth is happening?"
Tannis thought for a moment, then spoke cautiously: "Judging by the princess’s condition, the pill should have taken effect. I think... the pill probably only lifted the command from the one controlling her, freeing the princess from control, but to ultimately remove the Poison from her body, we’ll still need the antidote from the one who cast the poison."
Though Tannis was only speculating, his guess was based on evidence and logic.
So, to a certain extent, his guess was accurate.
Moreover, his guess was indeed correct.
The pill indeed removed Virgil Davies’ command, freeing Melody Parker from his control.
However, the Poison on Melody Parker had not been resolved; the antidote from Virgil Davies was still needed.
...
With the Poison flaring up now, Melody Parker felt worse than death and was in excruciating pain!
Seeing Melody Parker in such a state, Muir’s heart ached to the point where he could hardly breathe.
He would rather take her pain, willing to endure all the hardship himself, than let his daughter suffer such agonizing torment.
"Melody..." he called out with a hoarse voice, holding the writhing Melody Parker, who was in unbearable pain, tightly.
He suddenly looked up, shouting at Tannis: "Hurry and think of a way!"
Tannis: "..."
What could he do? The Poison was not his expertise at all.
Seeing Tannis not responding, Muir, his voice choked with emotion and hoarse, cried out again, "I don’t care what means you use, just don’t let Melody suffer like this!"
He could no longer bear to watch Melody in such agony; it would break his heart. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Tannis was at his wits’ end.
He had no way to remove the Poison from Melody Parker’s body, no way to relieve her suffering.
The only thing he could do was give Melody Parker another pill to temporarily make her lose consciousness...
By the break of dawn the next day, the unconscious Melody Parker woke up again.
She looked at the ceiling, recalling everything she would rather not face, wishing it had never happened.
Those images were too clear, and every time they came to mind, she wished she could end her own life.
How could it be?
Even under the control of the Poison, she shouldn’t have done those things!
She had attacked Adrian repeatedly with knives and guns, and finally pushed him into a bottomless abyss, yet how did he react?
He never harmed her at all, never feared her; instead, he stubbornly approached her again and again, smiling at her tenderly each time, letting her wield a knife on him...
Tears streamed down Melody Parker’s face like broken pearls, rolling silently.
She wished he could hate her more, push her away forcefully, not seek her out, perhaps then she wouldn’t have harmed him.
But she knew he wouldn’t, and indeed he never did.
He just kept telling her not to be afraid, calling to her gently again and again, inviting her to his side.
Even when she held a gun, wielded a knife, trying to take his life, he still smiled warmly, opening his arms, welcoming her without fear.
He wasn’t afraid of dying, only afraid he couldn’t wake her!
She killed Adrian, personally, stabbing him repeatedly, dyeing her hands with his blood time after time...
In the end, he still died at her hands.
And besides Adrian, she also killed Barrett Carter...
The man who protected her and their child with his life, also died by her hand.
He sang a hypnotic tune, hoping to awaken her—he sang for their child, and she remembered it so clearly...
Barrett Carter, I’m sorry.
She was nothing more than an executioner!
The weight of her crimes bore heavily upon her; she could not forgive herself for any of it!
Melody Parker slowly got out of bed and walked to the window.
In her view, the warm sunlight rose bit by bit, yet it failed to penetrate her world.
Without Adrian Davies, her world was dark and cold.
The warmth she had barely obtained was destroyed by her own hands.
She stood there, tears flowing continuously, reminiscing about everything...
"Adrian, I’m sorry."
With blurred eyes, she gazed outside, as if she saw a familiar, handsome, domineering man standing there, "Adrian, is it cold down there by yourself? Do you know how much I want to go down and accompany you? If I go down, will you see me? Will you ignore me?"
No one knew how long she stood or how many tears she shed, but determination and hatred suddenly shone in Melody Parker’s dark, teary eyes, "Virgil Davies, I will definitely kill you and avenge Adrian and Barrett Carter!"
No matter whether she was still plagued by the Poison, no matter how dangerous the process of killing Virgil Davies would be, as long as she could avenge Adrian and Barrett Carter by killing Virgil Davies, she would die willingly.
She was acutely aware of her current physical condition.
Now there was no strange voice controlling her mind in her brain.
She had regained her sense of self, able to control her own thoughts.
However, the occasional, excruciating pain and the feeling that it would tear her brain apart when it hit, making her life unbearable, painfully revealed everything.
It only demonstrated that she had freed herself from Virgil Davies’ control but hadn’t rid herself of the Poison; it still lingered in her body...
Melody Parker’s icy eyes turned fierce.
She looked out the window, speaking coldly: "Virgil Davies, it’s to the death between us!"
Having said this, she turned away from the window and walked out.
Melody Parker had just walked out of the palace when she saw the hurriedly approaching Muir.
Muir had stayed vigil by Melody Parker’s side until the middle of last night and had only left when he absolutely had to, to deal with some matters.
Having just finished handling Whitehill’s affairs, he rushed over.
Seeing Melody Parker come out, Muir immediately asked with concern: "Melody, why are you out? Are you still uncomfortable in any way?"
Melody Parker shook her head, "Dad, don’t worry, I’m fine."
Though she said so, looking at Melody Parker’s obviously pale face, how could Muir possibly be at ease? Instead, he was even more worried and pained.
Gazing at Melody Parker, he said with heartache: "It’s still early, why not sleep a little longer?"
"I’m not tired." Melody Parker looked at Muir, speaking in a deep voice: "Dad, I want to discuss opening the treasure with you."
