Chapter 219 Boast

His face was emotionless except for anger and hatred. He looked at Emily with red eyes, as if he
wanted to swallow her alive.

Emily looked calm, but she was a little afraid.

She was really worried that Jerry would do something extreme after being provoked by her. There were
only two of them in the room, and she would be the one who would be hurt.

"Okay, I promise to cooperate with you." As Jerry spoke, he reached out and picked up the wad of
money on the table. He patted the money and made a deep sound.

The hatred inside his heart was all triggered at this moment.

He didn't know well about Emily's plan, but all he wanted was to get the money and take revenge on
Jonas. Anyway, he was in a terrible situation now, at least it would not be worse.

After the cooperation, Emily didn't say anything but left. After a period of time, Melinda went to the
company and prepared to go back to work.

"You do so many things as soon as you came back. You are indeed a capable woman." As soon as
Melinda entered the office, she began to inspect the documents piled up in front of her.

It was the situation that had been appearing in the office since Melinda started working for a week.

"I have rested for such a long time." Melinda had too many things to deal with, but she would not force
herself to finish them in a hurry, but simply act according to her physical condition.

Instead of working so hard as before, she should rest as much as possible to keep her health.



"Nice to meet you. I'm Melinda Mo." Melinda was working on her desk and picked up the landline
phone.

She thought it was a customer or a writer, but she didn't expect him to be her grandfather.

"Linda, your father is sick. You should go to see him." Leonard' tone showed his anxiety. He was
naturally worried since it was his child who got sick.

The two of them lived in the countryside. Even if they were worried, they couldn't make it in time. That's
why they came to find Melinda.

Melinda's phone was put in a drawer, so she didn't see the phone call when she was doing her work
carefully. Then Leonard called her landline phone.

It was that Melinda had called him with the landline telephone several times before, and he had
recorded it carefully.

"Dad is sick! Grandpa, I know. I'm going there now." Melinda had not contacted her father for such a
long time, afraid that her situation would be known.

She had always failed to know her father's temperament.

"Don't worry too much. He is always healthy." Seeing how worried Melinda was, Leonard could not help
comforting her, and also comforting himself.

But the healthier he was, the more terrifying Melinda thought it was.

Many people took good care of themselves before they suddenly became seriously ill.

"I know, Grandpa. I'm going home now. Don't worry. You have to take care of yourself in the
countryside." Melinda realized that she needed to calm down to prevent herself from disturbing Nelson.



The two didn't talk any more. After hanging up the phone, Melinda went to the office to ask for a leave
from her leader. She was really sorry for asking for a leave after taking a long leave.

Melinda's father, Vern Mo, also lived in A City. Even so, Melinda rarely came back to this family,
especially after the divorce of Jonas. She dared not come back.

It was an old community, but the green was very good, and the highest place of the house was only
seven or eight floors. There was no elevator.

Melinda walked to this familiar yet strange place and felt a little complicated.

She walked slowly to the fourth floor. When she arrived, she was already panting.

She rummaged through her bag for a long time before she found the key. It was not used for a long
time and took her a lot of time to open the door. Melinda pushed the door and entered. The two men
inside were staring at her.

"Why are you back?" Vern asked, surprised to see Melinda. He didn't tell her about his sudden illness,
but his father found it. It seemed that Leonard tipped the news off.

Jonas helped Vern sit down on the sofa, and then went to the door to receive Melinda. He came close
to her and whispered, "You have a baby now. You can't be impulsive."

"Dad, are you all right?"

Melinda felt guilty at the sight of her father's pale face. She had never visited him even if she lived so
close to him.

What an unfilial daughter she was! It seemed that Jonas could read her mind, he held her hands, and
comforted her silently.



"Thanks to Jonas, I can walk around like this today. When you think of me, I guess I might be lying on
the bed." Vern poured a cup of tea for himself and said calmly to Melinda.

Now, Melinda was more sensitive than usual, for the joke he made up was taken for real by her.

"Dad, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I promise I'll come to see you frequently. I'm really sorry. Don't be mad
at me, okay?"

Her tears filled her eyes in an instant. Seeing that, Jonas felt very sorry for her. He said on her behalf,
"Father, Linda has always been thinking about you. It was my fault. I was too worried about her to let
her come back alone, and I always couldn't find the right time to visit you together."

Melinda looked at Jonas in surprise and didn't expect that he would take all the responsibility.

The scene she saw when she went into the house came to her mind unconsciously, which was that
Jonas accompanied the old man patiently.

Melinda felt warm in her heart, and even liked Jonas more.

"Don't help her. I know what my own child is like," said Vern. He was delighted to see that Jonas liked
his daughter very much.

His daughter finally got this man's heart.

"Thank you." Hearing her father's words, Melinda didn't pretend to be pitiful and expressed her thanks
to Jonas. Jonas touched her hair gently. He didn't say anything, but felt warm in his heart.

Melinda was a little embarrassed and stepped back. While walking inside, she took Jonas's hand and
said, "Dad, I have something to talk with Jonas."

"What's it? Why are you in such a hurry? Are you going to confess your love to me? What should I do?"



Hearing this, Melinda slowed down. She gave a glimpse at Jonas and sighed.

"Why are you here?"

Melinda took Jonas by the hand and they walked into the guest room where she lived every time she
came. The decorations in the room didn't change much, except that the room was not so warm as
before.

When she opened the door, she saw Jonas there. She thought she might have got to the wrong place.
Jonas was also confused about her question and asked subconsciously, "Why can't I come here?"

"You..." Hearing this, Melinda was pissed off. Jonas's words made it look like that she had been
unreasonable.

"We are divorced now. We have nothing to do with each other. Why do you come to my father's
house?" She gave him a ferocious stare, and then felt that she had been a little tired all the way, so she
leaned against the bed and picked up a pillow.

Although she hadn't come back for a long time, she was very familiar with the room. Even the dolls
accompanying her were placed there.

"But you are already pregnant with my baby."

Jonas was really unable to understand women's mind at this time. They had already had a child, why
did they need to be graded.

They were a family after all.

"That's two different things." Melinda suddenly lost her tongue, but still refuted. She pounded the pillow
in some chagrin.



"Don't mention it. We're a family. Our father is ill and I take care of him, what's wrong? Or do you think
you can take care of yourself and your father when you're pregnant?"

With another pillow in his hand, Jonas sat down next to Melinda and picked up a toy. He remembered
this toy. It seemed that Melinda had sent it to him before, but he refused.

He didn't expect that she would choose to leave it at home.

He played with the toy with great interest. The toy's chubby little face was very lovely, just like the
appearance of Melinda.

"Don't worry. I'll find a way. I don't need you here. You can go back now."

"Dad doesn't know about us, does he?" Jonas suddenly asked. Melinda was stunned, but she still told
him the truth. "You're right. I didn't tell this to my family."

Because she didn't dare to, most of her family liked Jonas and thought she was lucky to find such a
husband.

But only Melinda knew how she got through all this.

"He's not in good condition. He's just been checked up and he can't bear any emotional blows." It was
also a coincidence that Jonas came to see Vern and found out that he was ill.

Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, so there was no irreversible mistake.

"Got it." Wearing a grim smile, Melinda thought that what Jonas said was just reminding her to pay
more attention to the matter in front of Vern.

She murmured, feeling very upset.



"We have been in the room for a long time. Dad will be worried if we don't go out now," continued
Jonas, reaching out his hand and waiting for Melinda to hold it.

Melinda rolled her eyes at him. She thought he was childish, but she was happy in her heart.

The two of them walked out of the room together. Vern was watching the news alone. When he saw
Jonas, he greeted him happily, "Jonas, help me see how to resolve the Chinese chess game."

With the presence of Jonas, Melinda, as a daughter, had basically no position in the room.

She pouted her mouth and followed Jonas and his father, who was studying Chinese chess.

"Dad, let Linda see. She has learned from me for a long time. I want to see if she can play it well,"
Jonas boasted himself.

With this in mind, Melinda realized that Jonas was just acting according to circumstances in front of her
father. Even though she was teased by him, she was forced to come over.

Actually, she learned Chinese chess from Nelson.
