After Tiffany arrived at the hospital at 9:30 p.m., she did a little investigation and found the hospital records of Melody.

The nurse looked up from her computer and smiled. “Hello, the patient you want to visit has just been transferred to a high- class ward today. It’s ward 1 on the eighth floor.”

“Thank you.” Tiffany thanked her and turned to walk toward the elevator.

At this time, there were not many people in the inpatient department.

The elevator came down very quickly. Tiffany walked in. Just as the elevator door was about to close, a figure rushed over and shouted from afar, “Wait!”

Tiffany opened the door and was stunned when she saw the person running over. “Mr. Pauley?”

The person in front of her was Sidney.

“Oh, it’s you, Tiffany. What a coincidence.” Sidney smiled warmly and greeted her naturally.

Tiffany nodded. Recalling that there had been no news from Richard in the past two days, she hesitated for two seconds before asking, “Mr. Pauley, have you heard from Richard in the past two days?”

“Uh…” Sidney clearly hesitated for a moment, his eyes slightly averted. “Mr. Hampton has been a little busy for the past two days. The signal at the place he went isn’t very good, so I couldn’t contact him either.”

After a pause, he added, “But don’t worry. He’ll be back soon.”

Tiffany said, “Okay.”

Tiffany didn’t believe it.

This was obviously a lie to brush her off.

However, since Sidney did not say anything, she believed that there was probably more to it.

She could only wait for Richard to come back and ask in person.

Tiffany stopped talking and quietly watched the floor number continue to rise.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the eighth floor.

The moment Tiffany walked out of the elevator, Sidney handed her a business card and said, “My number is on it. Tiffany, if you need anything, feel free to call me.”

“Thank you.” With that, Tiffany took it.

Following the directions given by the nurse, Tiffany went all the way to ward 1 on the eighth floor. She saw that the door of this ward was ajar and not closed.

She knocked twice and walked straight in without waiting for a response.

Melody was not surprised to see her. Instead, she smiled and said, “You’re late.”

“Too late for what?‘

Tiffany didn’t know why she was late and didn’t want to ask.

She looked around the ward but did not see Charlie and Thalia. She asked, “Where are they?”

“Who are you talking about? My parents?” Melody smiled brightly. “I said I wanted some water, so they went to get it for me.”

Tiffany smiled, her eyes full of sarcasm. “You’re really sick.”

“In any case, they will believe whatever I say. Moreover… they owe me in the first place, don’t they?” Melody’s face was filled with pride.

This smug face made Tiffany furious.

She said, “Is this why you pretend to be sick? You’re pretending that you’re dying. You lied to them so much that your biological mother is going to donate her kidney to you, right?”

When she arrived at the hospital and asked the nurse for the ward number, she also asked about Melody’s condition.

The nurse told Tiffany that the reason why Melody was hospitalized was because of kidney failure, but fortunately, she had found a suitable kidney source and would undergo kidney transplant surgery the day after tomorrow.

The name of this kidney donor was Thalia.

Even though Melody’s scheme had been exposed, she did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she sneered and said, “So what? If you can, go and tell them. Let’s see if they believe you or me.”

Tiffany’s expression had already darkened. She took a step forward and grabbed Melody’s neck. She warned in a low voice, “I’ve said it before. You can come at me. But I won’t let whoever dares to hurt my family!”

She tightened her grip.

Melody’s face turned red. From the corner of her eye, she saw the door of the ward being pushed open. Charlie and Thalia, who were carrying some water, walked into the ward.

With an idea in mind, Melody lowered her voice and said in an extremely provocative tone, “If you dare, strangle me to death. While I’m alive, I will never let any of you off! I’ll kill everyone you care about and value! I’ll kill them the way I kill your sidekick Ged, haha…”

At the mention of Ged, Tiffany’s eyes instantly turned red.

She increased her strength and really wanted to kill Melody.

However, at this moment, Thalia’s sharp shout came from behind. “Tiffany, what are you doing?”

Tiffany acted as if she did not hear anything and used even more strength.

Thalia panicked. She saw that Melody’s gaze was unfocused, and she was about to suffocate.

If this continued, she would really be strangled to death by Tiffany.

Thalia could not care less. She immediately rushed forward and tried her best to pry Tiffany’s hands open.

Tiffany refused to let go, so Thalia used her nails to pinch her hands and hit them hard while shouting, “Let go!”

Under the huge resistance, Tiffany let go.

In the next second, she was pushed away by Thalia and fell to the floor in a sorry state.

Thalia asked, “Have you lost your mind? Have you lost your mind?”

Tiffany looked up with stubbornness all over her face.

She said, “She’s pretending to be sick. Mom, you can’t give her your kidney. She’s not sick at all!”

Thalia could not listen to a single word. She stroked Melody’s back in fear. Then, she turned her head and looked at Tiffany in disappointment, “If we hadn’t come, would you have strangled Melody to death? Tiffany, how did you become like this? I’m really disappointed in you…”

Tiffany wondered, ‘Is she disappointed that I’ve changed?‘

Tiffany smiled slowly.

Then, she supported her bleeding hands that were injured by Thalia’s nails and slowly stood up from the floor.

She said softly, “Being hurt by my family is indeed the most painful.”

She headed out.

Step by step, her back was slender and she looked lonely.

Charlie’s heart ached as he followed her out. He gently held her arm and called out, “Tiffany, your mother was just anxious and said something harsh. Don’t take it to heart.”

Tiffany turned around and stared fixedly at the man in front of her, saying, “Then I’ll say it again. She’s pretending to be sick. Dad, do you believe me?”

“Well… Charlie didn’t know how to answer.

He wondered, ‘How could she be pretending to be sick? The hospital has run checkups on her. Could it be that everything is a misdiagnosis?‘

However, looking at Tiffany’s stubborn eyes, Charlie gritted his teeth and said, “Yes. I believe everything you say.”

Tiffany said, “Thank you, Dad.”

Tiffany’s eyelashes trembled slightly. The next second, she thought of something and immediately took out the business card Sidney had given her from her pocket. She said, “How about this? Let Sidney give her another checkup! As long as we check again, we will definitely replace out that Melody is pretending to be sick!”

As Asclepius, Sidney’s words were certainly authoritative.

Therefore, the lie would be naturally exposed.

Tiffany anxiously grabbed Charlie’s hand and asked, “Is this okay?”

Even though Thalia was completely biased toward Melody, Tiffany could not just watch without doing anything.
