Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 513: Is it you? Is this really not a dream…
She was wearing khaki pants and a red knitted sweater.
The loose clothing on her made her look even more frail and weak.
Her complexion was so pale that even against the red of the sweater, there was no trace of rosiness.
Moreover, her face was oddly swollen with obvious scratch marks on it.
She tightly closed her eyes, clearly in a state of unconsciousness (the clone mistook Ralph Carter for Barrett Carter)...
God knows how much he just wanted to hold her like this until the end of time.
But because more than holding her now, he wanted to get the antidote for her first.
He placed Melody Parker back next to Ralph Carter, refusing to look at her, focusing solely on getting the antidote from Virgil Davies.
"Virgil Davies, you’re asking for death! Hand over the antidote now!" The clone glared at Virgil Davies, his voice chillingly cold.
"Yes, I deserve to die, but do you dare let me die?" Virgil Davies showed no fear, continuing to provoke.
He didn’t know that the person in front of him wasn’t Adrian Davies, much less that Adrian’s clone was far more bloodthirsty than Adrian himself.
Amidst Virgil Davies’s provocations, the clone suddenly drew a dagger out of nowhere.
Without any hesitation, he sprinted forward and plunged the dagger fiercely into Virgil Davies’s abdomen, "This is just a little interest. If you don’t hand over the antidote, I’ll flay your flesh piece by piece!"
When the knife pierced the flesh, Virgil couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
He glared hard at the clone, stupefied; this was unlike Adrian’s style at all.
Damn it, he actually used a knife to injure him!
Yet he was not afraid in the slightest, provocatively looking at the clone, shouting, "Ha, come on! If you have the guts, you’d better kill me..."
As Virgil taunted, the clone calmly pulled out the dagger from his abdomen.
Then, swiftly and decisively, he cut a piece of flesh off Virgil’s arm...
As the flesh fell to the ground, Virgil’s agonized cry resounded, "Ah!..."
He then looked at the clone with hatred, gritting his teeth, "Adrian, how dare you!"
"I can be even more cruel. Hand over the antidote!" The clone responded coldly, swiftly flaying several more pieces of flesh from Virgil.
Virgil screamed repeatedly, his forehead beaded with sweat from the pain...
While Virgil was being tortured by the clone, there was movement from Melody Parker.
Through her eyelids, one could clearly see her eyes slowly moving, indicating she was about to wake up.
Ralph Carter had been keeping an eye on Melody Parker.
Seeing this, he immediately spoke in a low voice, "Princess, Princess..."
Hearing the sound, the clone also noticed the change in Melody Parker.
He immediately dropped Virgil and rushed to her side, embracing her, "Melody..."
Virgil, having had several pieces of flesh cut off, was already on the verge of fainting; when the clone forcefully discarded him, he couldn’t help but black out and lost consciousness right after.
Meanwhile, at the clone’s gentle call, Melody Parker slowly opened her eyes.
Upon seeing the handsome, familiar man in front of her, Melody paused. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Was she dreaming?
She actually saw Adrian?
The clone held Melody tightly, his voice uncontrollably trembling, "Melody, you’re awake?"
Hearing the man’s voice, Melody was overjoyed.
She lifted her hand, tremblingly caressing the clone’s cheek, "Adrian, is that you? Is it really not a dream? You’re... not dead? Appearing in front of me in good health, are you?"
Saying this, glittering teardrops unknowingly rolled down from Melody’s eyes.
The clone nodded forcefully, his dark eyes filled with tenderness.
Looking at Melody, with a gentle yet assured voice he said, "No, Melody, I’m not dead."
Then, he looked at Melody again, dominantly demanding, "So, you’re not allowed to die either! I want you to live well, to stay with me and live well together!"
Melody nodded, her tears rolling down even more fiercely, "Okay, I won’t die, I’ll stay with you and live well, and with the babies too."
With Adrian, the two babies, and so many who care about her, she was not willing to die.
But, can it really be?
Would Virgil Davies really hand over the antidote?
Thinking of the poison within her, with her life and death beyond her control, Melody’s eyes couldn’t help but dim.
The clone, with a heart full of pain, gazed at Melody with firm eyes and solemnly promised, "Melody, trust me, you won’t die! I will definitely find the antidote, you’ll be fine!"
Melody nodded again, her voice choked with emotion, "Okay, I trust you, Adrian, the two babies are with my dad, and if you can’t find the antidote, I won’t blame you, I... just take good care of them..."
He was her man, her support.
At some point, she began to believe any word he said.
So now he said he would help her get the antidote, then he certainly could do it.
She believed in him!
But she knew how cunning Virgil Davies was.
She didn’t want her loved ones to be harmed because of her.
The clone held Melody tight, extended his large palm to gently touch her cheek, wishing to wipe away the tears that kept flowing.
"It won’t happen, Melody, you won’t be harmed, I will find the antidote for sure."
But just as his warm hand was about to touch her cheek, he hesitated.
He was afraid of hurting her.
Melody smiled, with her swollen face, tears decorating it like a blooming beautiful flower.
She grabbed the clone’s hand, placing it on her cheek.
Looking at his resolute and handsome face, her teary, ebony eyes were brilliant and radiant, "It’s so good, Adrian, you’re alive, it’s so good!"
Nothing else mattered anymore; as long as Adrian was alive, even if she left, he would take care of the babies and she would have no regrets.
She lowered her head with guilt, "I’m sorry Adrian, I once hurt you..."
Though she knew Adrian wouldn’t blame her, and even if time were turned back, he would still affectionately call her ’Melody...’ and smile lovingly at her while she killed him and pushed him down the cliff...
But precisely because of this, she couldn’t forgive herself even more.
Adrian loved her so deeply, how could she be controlled by the poison, how could she hurt him, almost taking his life?
"It’s okay." The clone interrupted Melody, holding her like a precious treasure, with infinite gentleness in his voice, "Aren’t I fine now? And trust me, everything will be alright!"
