Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Just as she was about to say her teacher’s name, Melody hesitated. 

After all, her teacher did not want the world to know he was still alive. 

However, the person in front of her was Colin. With her understanding of him, he would not tell anyone. 

After hesitating for two seconds. Melody continued decisively, “My teacher’s name is Quentin Parker” 

As soon as Melody finished speaking, Colin’s pupils dilated visibly. He even staggered two steps back, looking extremely 

shocked. 

When David saw this, he could not help but ask in confusion, “Mr. Herbert, who is Quentin? Why do you have such a big 

reaction?” 

David’s voice rang out, and Colin recovered from his shock. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, “If we have a ranking in the traditional medicine world, he’s the number one,” 

After Colin said this. David’s eyes widened in surprise. 

The two of them looked at Melody and revealed looks of disbelief. 

“Miss Fox is the disciple of a medical big shot? No wonder I had never seen the prescriptions written by her elsewhere every time: David thought. 

On the other hand, Colin remained hesitant 

He asked, “Although I’ve never seen Mr. Parker, I’ve heard from my master that he’s been dead for many years. May I ask when Mr. Parker took you in as his student?” 

“When I was four” When she said this, Melody’s expression was calm, making Colin feel that she did not seem to be lying, 

“If this is true… Should I still call this young lady my teacher? This is because Quentin had never really taken in a disciple. If this young lady is telling the truth, her medical skills must be better than mine. In this way. Deathtenaire won’t be used to harm others. It is because Mr. Parker’s judgment was accurate. He was also strict when accepting disciples. He couldn’t find someone with evil intentions to be his disciple. With that in mind, Colon could not help but scrutinize Melody seriously. 

After a while, Colin said, “Although you mentioned Mr. Parker’s name, many people in the traditional medicine community knew about him. I’m still not sure if what you said is true. Do you have any way to prove it?” 

Melody thought about it and said. “My teacher doesn’t want the world to know he’s still alive, so I can’t call him over to prove it for me. However, I can use the medical skills that my teacher taught me to prove it. If a patient with a difficult illness comes to Herbathrive, you can inform me, and I’ll treat him. At that time, you can judge if what I said is true. How about that?” 

Upon hearing this, Colin thought for a few seconds and nodded. “Alright. If you can prove it with your medical skills, I can give you Deathtenaire for free. I can also make an exception and hire you to come to Herbathrive for consultation.” 

Herbathrive had become the biggest traditional medicine shop and clinic in Silverlake. They had more than twenty doctors here. Money was not that important to Colin. 

Melody was not surprised to hear this. She extended her hand to Colin and said, “Then it’s settled. I wish us a happy cooperation in advance 

Just as Colin was about to extend his hand, he heard footsteps behind him. Then, an elegant and gentle voice sounded. “Colin, are there guests?” 

Melody hurriedly looked up and happened to meet Beverly’s gaze. 

The current Beverly did not look sick at all. She looked radiant. She was wearing an ink–colored dress, looking gentle and elegant 

Colin could not be bothered to shake Melody’s hand anymore. He quickly walked over and held his wife’s hand. “Did I wake you up?” 

Beverly shook her head, “Look at the time. I should get up too.” 

As she spoke, she looked at Melody again and asked. “And she is 

“A customer who came to buy rare medicinal herbs. Colin said briefly. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Since Melody said Quentin did not want everyone to know he was still alive, Colin thought there was no need to say anything else. 

Beverly nodded as she said. Then I won’t disturb you guys anymore. I’ll go and make lunch for you. David, what do you 

want to eat for lunch?” 

“I want to eat…” David stopped mid–sentence. When he met Colin’s stern gaze, he shrunk his neck and said, “I can eat anything. Don’t tire yourself out.” 

Mr. Herbert has always doted on his wife. If I named any complicated dishes, I’d be reprimanded by Mr. Herbert later. David thought. 

Alright, I’ll make whatever I want.” As Beverly spoke, she nodded slightly at Melody and walked toward the room where the kitchen was. 

Not long after, smoke rose from the kitchen chimney. It was Beverly starting a fire 

Beverly had an accidental miscarriage in her early years. After that, she did not get pregnant again. However, Colin did not mind. He still doted on Beverly very much and even took better care of her than before the miscarriage. 

Melody could not help but sigh in her heart. Such a harmonious and happy family had been destroyed by illness in my previous life. This time, I’m going to do everything I can. Not only will I change my fate, but I also want to change the fate of everyone I care about” 

When Colin saw smoke rising from the kitchen, he was anxious to help Beverly, so he sped up and said to Melody. “Miss Fox, if there are patients with difficult illnesses another day. I’ll get David to call you over. David, exchange your contact information with Miss Fox’s. I’ll go get busy first.” 

After Colin finished speaking, he was about to walk into the kitchen, looking like he loved his wife dearly. 

Melody was a little envious. 

Colin was the only good man she had ever seen. 

Although Beverly had a short life in her previous life, the days she lived must have been blissful. 

Melody couldn’t get such happiness, but she hoped to see more of it 

I have to save Beverly! When Melody thought of this, she hurriedly called out to Colin, “Mr. Herbert!” 

Colin subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and asked, “Miss Fox, is there anything else? Before you can prove your medical skills, I can’t sell Deathtenaire to you casually” 

“I know Melody nodded and took two steps forward. I have something else to tell you.”

Colin looked puzzled. He looked at the kitchen and finally nodded. “Miss Fox, please say it.” 

Melody also looked at the kitchen and lowered her voice slightly “Mr. Herbert, does your wife do a checkup at the hospital regularly! 

When Colin heard this, he smiled and said. “Tm a doctor myself Ill check her pulse regularly. She’s always been in good health except for being in a bad mood often.” 

“see” Melody deliberately dragged out her words, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated. 

Her expression successfully attracted Colin’s attention. 

Colin could not help but ask nervously. “What’s wrong? Miss Fox, why are you suddenly asking this?” 

Melody pretended to be uncertain and said. “I accidentally took a look at your wife just now. You know traditional medicine is all about this. I only took a look, so I’m not sure. 

Since it was about his wife, Colin was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He urged. “Miss Fox, get to the point
