The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 153 Be locked in the basement with high fever

Keith lowered his head and fell into a very serious contemplation.

After thinking about it, he shook his head.

"No, you know dad is not young. when you were born, dad was not young already at that time. Claudia

has asked around for prescriptions over the years, but I haven't heard of she's pregnant."

Claudia Craig, her stepmother, was just three years older than her, so Lyra and her had always been at

odds, and whenever they were together, they usually argued with each other.

Lyra pondered.

She had a hunch that the thing she was stranded in Frayton after she lost memory years ago had

something to do with the little girl in her mind.

But again, she couldn't remember anything.

She had to slowly check this matter later.

Now she can only put it aside for a while.

"Keith, what did you do with that group last night?"

Keith was silent.

When he arrived last night, they almost finished fighting, and it was Melvin who arrived first with his

men.

He cleaned up the mess, leaving a few killers who were alive to interrogate later.

He thought about it, omitting Melvin, "They hurt you, so I slaughtered most of them for you to vent your

anger. I left two. When you recover, you can personally go to trial to see if you can get some

information."

"Great."

Lyra put the nutritional soup on the bedside, and suddenly remembered she was saved by someone

last night.

"So it was you, Keith. You jumped in the water last night to save me?"

Keith was angry when she mentioned it.

By the time he arrived, Melvin had already jumped into the water.

When Lyra was carried up, he saw that the side of his sister's dress was torn, and wondered if this son

of bitch had done something excessive to her.

"Well, it's me." He looked away, a little unnaturally.

Lyra's eyebrows knitted slightly and her eyes locked on his, "Really? But I remember someone kissing

me and pumping oxygen into my mouth."

"What?"

Melvin, the son of bitch was really restless!

He shouldn't have been soft-hearted. He should have thrown the son of bitch back into the river and let

him be frozen to death!

"You were not awake at all, so you should have misremembered."

Lyra's eyes looked deep into his, "Keith, don't you lie to me."

"How could brother lie to you? It's true." He raised his eyes to look at her, and his eyes were firm.

Lyra knew him too well.

But even if she knew he wasn't telling the truth, and he persisted in refusing to say, she couldn't ask

anything.

So, she asked in a different way, "Where's Melvin? Where did he go last night?"

"I don't know where he went last night. This bastard. It's because of Charlotte. So many things

happened. It's unrelated to him more or less. Don't care about him. I just locked him up in Seaside Villa

and didn't let him go out."

Lyra wrinkled her eyebrows and wanted to say something else, but Keith immediately took up the soup

and prevented her from saying.

"Here, Rara, have some more. Connie made it herself. It's good for your wound recovery."

...

In the basement of Seaside Villa.

HE coughed violently. The sound was heart-wrenching, appalling and echoing for a long time.

Melvin curled himself up on the cold floor. His eyes were unable to hide the sickly look.

Because of the violent coughing, his face was miserable wan, looking feeble.

He was drenched in cold sweat, but his body was boiling hot.

He was losing his consciousness.

But Eleven, with whom he got along with well, was still in the hospital rehabilitating.

Keith let Fifteen and Seventeen lock him in the basement without water, food, or even a light.

He stayed alone in the dark basement for more than ten hours.

If this went on, he may die directly because of his high fever and weakness.

The person who tried to kill Lyra was not yet found. Ashley and Charlotte were still on the loose. He Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

cannot die yet!

He pushed himself and put his hand to his lips.

Because he wasn't sure if Chad would be there, he made the bird chirps over and over again.

Fifteen and Seventeen heard the commotion coming from the basement and opened the door.

"Mr. Freeman, don't fiddle. Master Keith said he'll let you out when the lady can discharge"

Having said that, the two did not want to stay a second longer.

The basement's door was closed again with the loud sound of "bang" and locked.

Melvin was choked by the cold wind because the door was suddenly opened then, causing another

violent cough.

He kept coughing that his whole body was curled up into a ball and shivered.

...

Last night Melvin had to go down to the river to save her. Chad was already worried about him and

quietly ambushed around Seaside Villa to observe.

At this moment when he heard Melvin's vague and weak signal, Chad was angry and furious.

"Damn, it's not even human being!"

He led Ted and a few of his men go straight to the basement of the villa.

Fifteen and Seventeen tried to obstruct them desperately.

However, the two can not beat this group of fire and fury. Within a few minutes, Fifteen and Seventeen

were directly beaten to unconsciousness.

Chad kicked open the basement door and the moment when he saw Melvin, anger churned in his

chest.

"Fuck! This is how they repay their savior for saving her life? I want to kill him!"

Ted was also very angry, "What about killing the two bodyguards?! I'll fucking die if I don't!"

Chad was about to answer when Melvin's hot hand tightened around his wrist.

Melvin's voice was too hoarse to make a sound and he had no energy to speak because he had stayed

up too long.

But Chad understood what he meant.

They were not allowed to kill them.

Chad struggled internally for a while and sighed. After all, he still had to follow his order.

But without venting their anger, they had to endure it. So Chad instructed Ted to drag Fifteen and

Seventeen into the basement first and lock them up.

Then Chad carried Melvin back to his room on the second floor and got a fever-reducing patch for him.

He took the temperature. The high fever of 38.9 degrees cannot solved by a fever-reducing patch at all.

Chad had someone buy fever-reducing medicine and mixed it with an injection for him.

Until late at night, the weak Melvin was finally awake.

Chad took the temperature again and the fever was subsided.

Fortunately, he was okay.

Chad sighed in relief and sat on a bed with a rather depressed expression.

"Boss, this is what you get for fighting tooth and nail to get there! Being locked up by Keith. Not letting

you go to the hospital to see Miss Carroll, and presumably not letting Miss Carroll know that you saved

her. It's just too much!"

Melvin narrowed his eyes. His eyelashes were fluttering.

His black eyes, once spirited, lost focus because of the torture of high fever. And his handsome face

was whitish sickly.

Keith had always hated him and looked at him with extreme displeasure, so it was not surprising that

he would do this.

Besides, he now knew that Keith was his ex-brother-in-law, and he still felt a little guilty about Keith in

his heart.

As for Lyra who was in the hospital, Keith will definitely take care of her, so he was not worried.

Chad saw that he did not speak. Melvin looked extremely haggard and emaciated, which was

heartbroken.

"Boss, you clearly know your current physique is not the same as before. You can't withstand the

coldness. The water is so chilly but you still jumped into the river to save her. You could wait for Keith!"

Was it stupid and brainless?

But he did not dare to say it.

He was afraid that when Melvin recovered, he was going to get beaten up.
