Chapter 234 She Returned to Riverdale
There were complicated feelings in Melinda’s heart when she recalled that Mervin had spent half an hour in the emergency room. She knew that he had given more than usual,
Before the plane landed, Mervin stayed by her side, watching over her without rest. He kept her company even though he didn’t say anything.
The villa was huge, and it was situated by the sea, which created stunning scenery.
In the evening, the remaining rays of the setting sun had faded, and the night was about to descend.
A black Volvo drove into the yard and pulled up in front of the villa. The driver opened the car door. Mervin got out of the car, then carried Melinda in his arms, and walked toward the living room
Under the night sky, when Melinda saw his face so close to hers, she could feel the fury suppressed in his heart. What is he mad about?
“Hello, Mr. Laurent. Bethany, the housekeeper, was glad to see him.
Mervin didn’t stay in the living room. Instead, he carried Melinda upstairs and walked into the master bedroom. The lights turned on automatically thanks to the sensors.
He placed Melinda gently on the bed, then helped her take off her shoes. He tucked her legs under the blanket, then pulled the blanket over her body as she sat leaning against the headboard.
Melinda looked up at him. “Where is this placernovelxo.com fast update
“My house.” He stood at the bed, looking down at her with a calm gaze. “I’ll give you one day to get used to your new identity. I don’t want to hear his name in this house, nor do I want to feel even a sliver
of his presence.”
She watched him leave, her heart sinking
His revenge had begun. It would be maniacal. As Mervin descended the stairs, he gripped the railing instinctively. He frowned deeply, feeling a little dizzy.
He had given too much blood, and he had to grit his teeth and hang on to achieve the amount of blood Stanley needed. I actually risked my life to save Stanley
He managed to go downstairs while leaning against the railing. Bethany walked up to him and asked worriedly, “What happened, Mr. Laurent? You don’t look too good.”
Mervin steadied his footsteps in front of her, taking a deep breath as he said, “I’m fine.”
Then, he strode toward the couch. “You’re hereby tasked with taking care of Ms. Paisley, including her meals, living conditions, and emotional needs. Spend time talking to her and counseling her. If she wants to go out, you must report to me first.”
“Okay, understood.”
“She had just miscarried and completed a curettage surgery, so she’s still very weak.” Mervin sat on the couch. “Also, because of a certain reason, she’s in a bad mood. You have to pay more attention to the
nutrients in her meals.
“All right.” Bethany listened earnestly. “I shall prepare some confinement recipes for you to examine.”
“Sure.” Mervin frowned lightly. I’m going out for a bit. He stood up again as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Are you not going to rest?”
He didn’t reply as he left the house. Sometime later, the half-closed door of the master bedroom upstairs was knocked on, but there was no response from within.
Bethany gently opened the door and walked in, carrying a bowl of chicken soup with the oil removed.
Melinda sat leaning against the headboard. The lights were on in the room, and she looked forlorn. Her eyes didn’t seem to focus on anything.
Bethany walked up to the bed. “Ms. Paisley, you may call me Bethany. I will be taking care of you from now on. I just made some chicken soup, so would you like to have some?”
“No.” Melinda looked up at her and asked lightly. “Where is Mervin?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. Laurent is away.” Bethany bowed respectfully and passed the chicken soup to her. “Will you be drinking it yourself, or shall I feed you?”
“I said I don’t want any.” Melinda was a little upset as bitterness boiled in her heart. “Go out, please. I need some time alone.”
Bethany hesitated when she saw how lonely and desolate Melinda looked. “Ms. Paisley, I heard about your situation. You shouldn’t get out of bed for the time being, and you have to nourish yourself with food. All the nutrients are in the soup.
Melinda fell silent. She didn’t want to waste her breath at all. She reached out and took the bag placed beside her, then retrieved a teacup from it.
She passed the teacup to Bethany, saying. “Please get me some warm water. Thank you.”
