Unscented

Melissa had a long dream.

In Melissa’s dream, she was being chased by many people, and she was running desperately.

However, ahead of her was the cliff, and behind was the pursuers.

Melissa had no escape.

"Murray, help me..." Melissa subconsciously wanted to shout, but her throat was so dry that she could not say a word.

Melissa was pushed down the cliff, deep into the abyss, and she kept falling down...

"Ah..." Melissa cried.

Melissa was shocked and gradually came to her senses.

Melissa thought, what’s wrong with me?

Was it a nightmare?

No, everything felt so real. It happened. It can’t be a dream!

Melissa tried to move her fingers, but she felt she had extremely sore muscles and felt very tired.

Melissa remembered that Nolan had the brake of her car broken, and after she managed to get out of the car, she was besieged by Nolan and his men again.

Melissa knocked down the men one after another, but there seemed to be countless enemies coming.

Later, Melissa felt that she could not hold on any longer.

At this critical moment, Murray saved her.

Murray’s handsome face appeared in front of Melissa, which made her feel warm.

Melissa wondered, where is Murray now?

Melissa tried to open her eyes.

But before Melissa could open her eyes, she heard a noise.

"Murray, Melissa can’t be a good person. She even got into trouble with the people from the mob. You can save her this time. But who knows when she will get into conflicts with an even more influential person? It won’t be easy to deal with then!" Claire said.

Then Sarah’s voice came, "That’s true, Murray. If something terrible happens to you, what should I do? And your grandfather is still in a coma. How can I explain it to him if he suddenly wakes up?"

"That’s right, Murray. Melissa is a bitch. Now, she is in trouble with the mob. She is not worthy of you. Murray, you can’t be deluded by her!" Claire added.

Melissa thought, Claire is as mean as before, and Sarah is adding the trimmings again.

Melissa sneered in her heart and thought Claire and Sarah would really never forget to smear her.

Melissa opened her eyes and turned her head around. Then she saw Murray standing at the door with his back to her. The door was completely blocked by his tall and slender figure.

Murray blocked out Sarah and Claire, who came to find trouble.

Murray’s deep eyes were full of coldness, and he said in an impatient tone, "As I said before, don’t interfere in the matters between me and Melissa. Don’t challenge my bottom line again!"

Murray was only worried about how Melissa was doing now.

Two days ago, when Murray took Melissa to the hospital, the doctor told him that Melissa had suffered a very serious injury and her body was covered with shocking bruises.

Murray felt grieved and he blamed himself.

Murray thought if he hadn’t suddenly gone to Pulchra, perhaps Melissa would not have suffered this.

Murray would definitely not let Nolan off, as well as the person who instigated Nolan.

"Murray!" Seeing that Murray was still trying to protect Melissa, Claire got furious and thought how stubborn Murray was.

Claire thought, what’s so good about the slut Melissa?

Why does Murray like her so much?

Claire was burning with jealousy. She had been in love with Murray for so many years.

From the first time Claire went to the Gibson’s house and saw Murray, she could not help but fall in love with him.

However, due to their status as cousins, Claire could only hide her feelings deep in her heart.

Murray, on the other hand, had always only treated Claire as a younger sister and he was indifferent to her.

But Murray treated all the women like that.

As a result, Claire once thought that she still had a chance.

Claire thought at the very least, she could see Murray often, and she could occasionally act coquettishly with him.

However, everything had changed since Melissa came to the Gibson family.

In Murray’s eyes, there was only Melissa.

Claire was unwilling to accept the fact.

"Alright, you guys can go back now!" Murray said as he glanced coldly at Claire and Sarah. He was worried about Melissa and did not want to talk to them anymore.

"Murray, one day, you will regret it!" Claire said through gritted teeth.

"Claire, let’s go!" Sarah stopped Claire, who was furious, and turned to leave.

"Sarah, what are you stopping me for?" Claire complained after she and Sarah entered the elevator.

"Can’t you see no matter what we say right now, Murray won’t listen," Sarah said and frowned.

"Sarah, you mean..." Claire froze.

"We should let Murray know what Melissa is really like first," Sarah said.

"You are right, Sarah!" Claire nodded.

Claire suddenly remembered the words that Jim had said before.

Claire thought, it seems to be the time to talk to Jim.

Seeing that Sarah and Claire had finally left, Murray turned around and returned to the ward.

As soon as Murray turned around, he found that Melissa had already woken up.

There was finally some mood swing in Murray, who had always been cold.

Murray quickly walked to the side of the bed and sat down. Then he said to Melissa with concern, "Melissa, you finally wake up. How are you feeling? Did Sarah and Claire wake you up just now?"

Melissa shook her head and said, "Water..."

Her throat was extremely dry.

"Wait a minute." Hearing what Melissa said, Murray quickly turned around and poured her a glass of warm water.

Murray carefully helped Melissa up and let her head rest on his shoulder. After making sure the water was not too hot, he gently and carefully fed it to Melissa.

After drinking a glass of water, Melissa felt much better.

However, what followed was a great pain from the wound all over her body.

Seeing Melissa frown in pain, Murray held her little hand, and his eyes were full of distress, "Melissa, it’s all right. The doctor said that it was some skin trauma, and you would recover after a few days of rest."

Melissa nodded.

As Luca’s disciple, Melissa had excellent medical skills and naturally knew that her injuries were not serious.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Melissa leaned against Murray’s chest and asked indifferently.

"Two days," Murray replied in a deep voice.

Melissa thought, so long?

Melissa frowned.

"How is Mr. Marc?" Melissa was worried that Marc’s condition would worsen during the few days she was in a coma.

"Dr. White is taking care of Grandpa. Don’t worry. If anything happens, I will go to Dr. Hanson." What Murray said made Melissa at ease.

"OK," Melissa replied.

Melissa rubbed her arm, thinking, that explains why I have pain all over. After lying here for a full three days, even normal people would also feel pain.

Seeing Melissa like this, a sinister glint flashed across Murray’s cold eyes, and then he said, "Melissa, don’t worry. I won’t let Nolan off!"

Melissa nodded, "Have you found out who is the mastermind behind Nolan?"

Murray narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered in Melissa’s ear, "It is under investigation, and there should be a result soon."
