Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
Chapter 173

Chapter 173

James asked in puzzlement, “Wait? What are waiting for?”

“Wait for Ford to come looking for me,” Melody said. T’ve been coming here every day recently, and I believe it hasn’t been in vain. It’s just that waiting is not the best way to solve the problem… After pausing for a moment, she added, “I’ll look for Zack directly tomorrow.”

James was shocked. “You’re going to look for him?” he said. “He probably won’t want to see you, right?”

“Not necessarily. Melody said with a faint smile. “Don’t underestimate a woman’s abilities

“A woman’s abilities?” James said, involuntarily glancing at Melody up and down.

He thought. If it were Miss Murphy, Zack would probably fall for the honey trap. But if it’s Melody… forget it. Zack not being scared into having nightmares is considered a good outcome. There’s no denying that when it comes to looks, Miss Murphy completely outshines Miss Fox

Melody could guess what James was thinking from his expression, but she couldn’t be bothered to explain. She immediately called James to drive off to Herbathrive.

The car soon arrived at the entrance of Herbathrive. She asked James to wait outside while she walked toward

As soon as Melody entered. David welcomed her enthusiastically like a puppy waggingi

its tail.

Herbathrive.

He said. “Miss Fox! Has the medicine been delivered?”

Melody nodded noncommittally and went straight to the backyard, where she found Beverly

Beverly was in a much better mood than that day. She even smiled gently when she saw Melody. “Hey Melody, you’re here,” she said. “Colin just mentioned you earlier.”

Melody sat down opposite Beverly. After routinely taking Beverly’s pulse, she asked, “Mr. Herbert has been mentioning me. Where is he?”

“He went to buy groceries for me, saying he wants to nourish my stomach through diet first,” Beverly said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Colin returned.

Melody did not waste any words. She immediately handed the prescription she had written to Colin.

Colin hurriedly took it. After reading the prescription, his eyes seemed to glow as he looked at her.

He said. “Miss Fox, you, you’re amazing… Truly worthy of being the student whom Mr. Parker highly favors! This prescription of yours is not much different from the prescription I wrote myself, but the few extra medicinal herbs you wrote are simply the finishing touch! The efficacy of this prescription immediately improves!”

Colin’s tone was incredibly excited, his voice even trembling-

Beverly, who was beside them, did not know medicine, but hearing Colin say that made her happy too. After all, this prescription would be used to save her life.

“Miss Fox, I didn’t expect you to be so talented at such a young age,” Colin said. “I’m really not worthy of you calling me “Master If you don’t mind, I’ll call you “Master‘ from now on.”

Melody said helplessly. “Mr. Herbert, I’m going to be really bashful if you call me that. Besides, when I was by my master’s side in the past, I only learned theoretical knowledge. Most of the time, I watched him practice. My practical skills are not as good as yours. I hope you won’t be stingy with sharing and will teach me more in the future.”

Beverly liked Melody a tot, thinking. This young girl is very capable, yet she is good–tempered and humble

She smiled at Colin and Melody, saying, “You two don’t have to insist on calling each other Master. Melody, from now on, you can call him ‘Colin‘, and he’ll call you ‘Melody. As for me, you can call me Bev. No one should be called ‘Master.

This form of address was very intimate. Melody couldn’t wait to get closer to her talent spotter in Silverlake during her previous life. She immediately agreed.

After chatting for a while. Beverly felt a little sleepy and went to rest.

Melody stopped smiling and said seriously, “After checking Bev’s pulse carefully this time, I found that her physical condition is very frail, prone to internal chills yet easily gets inflamed. According to traditional medicine, it’s a case of imbalance. If we rely solely on my prescription for treatment, it will work, but the effect will be very slow,

Colin quickly asked, “So based on what you said, how should we treat her?”

“I suggest that she drink my prescription while combining it with modern medicine treatment,” Melody said. “Her body can’t withstand chemotherapy, so I suggest that after I regulate her health for half a month, she should immediately undergo surgery. After the surgery, it will take at least a month and at most three months to recover completely.”

Colin was against modern medicine. He frowned and said, “Surgery is harmful to the body. It’s fast, but..

reason modern

“Colin, if you trust me, it’s best to do as I say,” Melody said. “Traditional medicine is profound, but there’s a medicine has developed so quickly. I hope you can acknowledge the capabilities of modern medicine in treating cancer.”

After Melody persuaded him for a while, Colin finally nodded out of love for Beverly.

Then let’s not use this prescription for her now,” Melody said. 11 rewrite the prescription and let her regulate her health for half a month to build a good foundation. This way, her vitality won’t be overly weakened during the surgery.”

“Alright,” Colin said. “Let’s do as you say.”

After the two of them finished chatting, Melody’s phone dinged with a notification sound.

She glanced downward and saw that it was a message from James, urging her to set off to meet Ken.

Only then did Melody realize that it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon.

She quickly stood up and said goodbye to Colin,

Colin was still unsatisfied. “Time passes too quickly,” he said. “Melody, come over more often whenever you have time. There are still many things I’d like to learn from you. At most, I’ll pay you wages for the time you spend coming over in the future. How about that?”

Melody smiled and said, “Okay.”

Before leaving, Melody thought of her own medicinal herbs and stopped to ask, “Colin, I want to ask you. Other than the Taylor family in Insterimond, who else has the medicinal herb called Green Velvet?”

“Green Velvet?” Colin said. He thought for a moment before replying, “Someone in Silverlake may have it.”

“Who?” Melody asked.

“Ruby Taylor,” Colin said. “She’s married to the second son of the Taylor family. The Taylor family’s ancestral home is in Silverlake. It seems that they are expanding their business there ow. It just so happens that she has come here before for health treatments. If you need it, I’ll help you ask.”

“Alright!” Melody said, hurriedly nodding. “I appreciate your help. This medicinal herb is very important to me. I’ll think of a way to gather the money. As long as she has it, any amount of money is acceptable.”

“Sure,” Colin replied. He could not help but ask, “Is it for treating your face?”

Melody said, “Yeah…”

“Rest assured then, Colin said. “I’ll definitely help you ask as soon as possible. As the daughter–in–law of the Taylor family, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to get some Green Velvet.”

“Thank you, Colin,” Melody said. After thanking him, she turned around and left.

The Taylor family had also been practicing medicine for generations, but from this generation onward, they had already ventured into the financial industry.

as created by

The Taylor family’s Green Velvet was not considered a medicinal herb. It was a type of medicinal pill that was c mixing many rare medicinal herbs in appropriate proportions.

That was a secret formula passed down by the Taylor family’s ancestors. It wasn’t readily sold and was basically auctioned

off.

The Taylor family had always maintained a cooperative relationship with Ulric. In Melody’s previous life, she acquired Green Velvet with great difficulty. She only got it after she became Ulric’s right–hand woman.

But in this Hfetime, she was not on Ulric’s side. Naturally, she couldn’t obtain Green Velvet through the Taylor family,

She could only pin her hopes on Ruby.

She had not had much interaction with Ruby, so she could only wait and see what Colin had to say.

Preoccupied with something that weighed on her mind, Melody walked out of Herbathrive. However, James did not notice. her expression and started complaining….

“Miss Fox, didn’t you make an appointment with Mr. Ken?” he said. “You stayed inside for so long. What were you doing? 1 hope you can be more punctual in the future.”

While James was complaining, he finally sensed that something was off and looked over at Melody.
