Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Chapter 107 

When the stall owner heard Melody’s words, he could not help but be stunned for a few seconds. However, he immediately. smiled and waved his hand. “That’s impossible. Kid, you might have seen it wrongly. I’m usually careful. When I take poisonous herbs, I always wear gloves.” 

Melody shrugged. “Tim the professor’s proudest student, so I usually won’t make a mistake. How about this? If you feel your condition has worsened in three days, look for me at Forest Cafe in the city center. I won’t charge you for treatment for the sake of the medicinal herbs you sold me.” 

The stall owner still did not believe Melody’s words. He casually said, “Got it.” 

Melody smiled secretly and left after putting “Draba” away. 

The hook was already in place, waiting for the fish to take the bait. 

“What nonsense? How could I be poisoned? This student was talking big!” the stall owner muttered as he stared at Melody’s back. However, he did not know if it was a psychological effect, but he suddenly felt a little tired and could not muster his 

energy 

“Forget it! I’ve earned enough today. I should pack up and go back to sleep, the stall owner muttered to himself as he began to close the stall. 

However, the stall owner didn’t know Melody had tampered with the check and added some “condiments 

When Melody 

y came out of the black market, she 

e received a call from Hattie 

“Miss Melody, I’ve bought the incense,” said Hattie. 

Melody replied. “Okay. Where are you? I’ll take a cab and come to you. We’ll go back together.” 

Tm at Hattie gave Melody an address, and Melody took a taxi to meet Hattie. Then, they returned to the Fox villa together. 

The two of them carried the incense into the house. Coincidentally, Yolanda had already picked Mabel up and was encouraging Mabel. “In short, you must overcome the weakness of dancing, understand?” 

“I know Before Mabel could finish speaking, she raised her head and saw Melody, who had returned with Hattie. Her expression instantly turned extremely dark. 

She thought Ulric had bought that pile of gifts for her, but she did not expect it to be a thank–you gift from the Swanson family for Melody 

There are so many luxury goods. How can Melody be worthy? Mabel thought unwillingly. 

However, Maria had personally instructed that no one could touch these things except Melody. 

Therefore, Mabel could only hold her anger back and vent all of it by practicing dancing 

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. The dance teacher praised her for improving a little more than yesterday. 

However, this was not enough. Mabel had to work hard to decrease her shortcomings and win this year’s top socialite again. She had to successfully marry into the Swanson family and let Melody be inferior to her! 

As soon as Melorly entered, she felt Mabel’s murderous gaze. She turned a blind eye to walked into the backyard with Hattie. 

in and did not even look away. She

When Mabel saw this, she iromediately felt dissatisfied and said, “Hey! You don’t even say hello to Mommy when you return from outside? Is this how you treat the elders in the family? Don’t you even know such basic etiquette?” 

Melody pretended not to hear her and strode to the backyard, 

“You…” Mabel was about to chase after her when Hattie stopped her. 

Hattie smiled and said. “Miss Mabel, Miss Melody is in a hurry to send incense to Mrs. Maria. You also know Mrs. Maria’s health is too poor, so we must prioritize her anytime. Therefore, Miss Melody didn’t have time to greet Mrs. Fox. I’m here to apologize to Mrs. Fox on her behalf.” 

When Mabel saw Hattie speaking up for Melody, she was instantly furious. “Who do you think you are? How dare you stop 

Yolanda was shocked. She quickly went forward and pulled Mabel over. She said, Tm sorry, Hattie. Mabel is a child with filial piety and a straight temper. Please don’t take her words to heart: 

Hattie chuckled and said, Tm just a maid. It’s only right for Miss Mabel to speak to me in such a tone. It’s just that it’s best not to let Mrs. Maria hear this. Otherwise, she’ll be unhappy” 

With that, Hattie walked past Mabel and left. 

Mabel was even angrier. Now, even a maid dares to ignore me? 

she… 

She wanted to complain. “Mom, sh 

Shut up!” Yolanda’s expression darkened. “Did you forget everything I told you just now? These things are not something you need to worry about at all. It’s fine if Melody doesn’t greet me. Don’t tell me you expect her to call me Mom respectfully,” 

Mabel felt a little aggrieved. “It’s fine if Melody did that, but even Hattie dares to speak to me like this… What she said is a threat!” 

“I think you’ve lost your mind from dancing. Don’t you know holy important Hattie is to your grandma? Your grandma treats her like a sister!” When Yolanda said this, she lowered her voice and said, “She’s only being so arrogant because she has your grandmother as her backer. When your grandmother dies, you can teach her a lesson however you want.” 

When Mabel heard this, the anger in her heart finally subsided 

She asked, “Then how long will it take before Grandma dies?” 

“Don’t worry.” Yolanda smiled coldly and said, “The amount of goods I imported this time has increased again. This month, the matter will be resolved.” 

Yolanda’s words were very obscure, but Mabel immediately understood. 

It was because the poison had strengthened. Maria would not live past this month! 

That’s great! Once Grandma dies, Melody’s greatest backer in the family will be gone. At the thought, Mabel was in a good mood. She gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, I’m not eating dinner. I’m going upstairs to practice my dance.” 

“Now? Didn’t you only finish class just now? Won’t you be tired? Yolanda asked. 

“No!” Mabel waved her hand and ran upstairs to practice her dance. 

Yolanda didn’t want Mabel to be too tired, but she was also happy. Her daughter was improving bit by bit and becoming 

more mature. 

She believed that soon, she would nurture Mabel to be as smart and successful

as her. 

The sky gradually darkened When it was time for dinner, Melody used the excuse that her body had yet to recover to not go to the living room to eat. Instead, she ate with Maria. 

She checked Maria’s pulse carefully. After dinner, she returned to her room and began to study the pharmacy. 

Maria’s illness was many times worse than before she was locked in the abandoned garage. She could not waste a second. 

Finally, when the sky began to turn bright, Melody successfully developed two prescriptions. 

Maria had a lot of illnesses. The first thing Melody had to treat was the diarrhea she told Maria before she could begin to detoxify the poison. 

The two prescriptions she prescribed were for the treatment of detoxification and diarrhea. 

It was not difficult for her to treat the two diseases. She wrote the prescriptions quickly. However, the difficulty was that many medicines were counteracting each other. If she wanted to treat both diarrhea and mercury sulfide poison at the same time, she had to think of a completely different prescription from ordinary prescriptions. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Fortunately, her hard work paid off. She finally completed it. 

Melody confirmed the prescription one last time before ordering the medicinal herbs online. She was prepared to sleep before she got up to get the medicine. 

However, she received a call immediately after she confirmed the reservation form. The number showed that the clerk from Herbathrive. 

was David, 

Melody quickly picked up the call and heard David’s 

Ce coming from the phone. “Miss Fox, was it you who placed the order just now? I happened to be on duty today. When I saw an order at this hour, I thought it might be you” 

“Yes, it’s me. Melody was a little sleepy. She asked lazily, “What’s the matter?”
