Chapter 225

Melanie thought she needed to wait for the doctor to arrange a time for her surgery. However, the
doctor prescribed her some medicine instead.

She was puzzled as she held the prescription list. “Didn‘t you say that medicine isn‘t suitable? Why‘d
you still prescribe me medicine?”

“You have some inflammation, and this is the medicine for it. It needs to be treated before the surgery.”
After a brief pause, the doctor advised her, “You must avoid s*x for some time. Your condition is bad. If
this continues, it will affect your uterus.”

The doctor kept reminding her of what she needed to be inindful of, but she stopped paying attention.
She knew her body was not in good condition, but she had not expected it to be this bad. She felt
ashamed when she recalled the doctor‘s gaze. Fortunately, no one recognized her. She went home
and took medicine with some water. After she carefully kept the prescription in the innermost layer of
her bag, she lay down to rest. Fortunately, Nathaniel was busy recently and left her to hersell.
Therefore, she had the time to meet up with Frank.

‘Frank...‘ Melanie‘s stomach started acluing when she thought of him. She felt uncomfortable and
turned to her side. This must not continue any longer. She needed to think of a way to send Lily to
Frank‘s bed. Only then could she be free. The question was how to do it so that no one would trace it
back to her.

Melanie tossed and turned but could not fall asleep. After a while, slie lieard some movement from
outside that sounded like someone opening the door. Nathaniel had just returned home.

Melanie was afraid that he would notice the strangeness in her and pretended ho asleep.



The bedroom door opened, and Nathaniel walked in. He approached the bed and sat down beside her.
Melanie noticed him tugging the blanket to cover her better, even with hier eyes closed. She could also
hear him sigh softly.

“Mel, Mel...” He softly called her name twice but was hesitant to continue.

She pretended she did not hear it and kept ignoring him, but he continued, anyway, “Mel, are you
asleep?” His voice was soft but persistent. It seemed like he would continue until he woke her up.
Melanie had no choice but to pretend to be woken up. She rubbed her eyes and yawned,” You‘re
back.”

“Yeah.”

Nathaniel leaned down to hug and kiss her cheek, “Did I disturb your sleep? Thank you for your hard
work.”

“I‘m fine. I‘ve been asleep for quite some time.” Melanie shook her head and opened her eyes. She
noticed Nathaniel looked tired and irritable, “What‘s the matter? You look unhappy.”

Nathaniel forced a smile and asked, “About your perfume formula, do you think you need to adjust it,
Mel?”

He asked in a careful tone as he feared she would be unhappy. However, he needed to ask the
question.

The formula? What‘s wrong with the formula? Wasn‘t everything fine before? You‘re the one who said it
was okay.”
