I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 470 Troublesome Patient The sight of the woman before him looking like a deer caught in headlights made Jeffery smirk.” Am | that scary?” “What do you think? Hooligan,” Melanie chided him, and quickly buttoned up her collar.

“| just want to tell you that your suspicions might have something to do with this birthmark,” Jeffrey gently poked the birthmark behind the shoulder through her shirt.

“You mean...”

“I've asked the professor. He said there might be some kind of advanced gene technology implanted in your birthmark, resulting in gene mutation. That is why the DNA test was unable to

pick things up.” “Are you sure about that?”

“The professor wanted to conduct some tests on you, but you became pregnant and have to avoid radiographic testing.” Jeffrey explained.

Melanie nodded. “I'll do the tests in a few months.”

“This kid will be out in a few months‘ time.” Jeffrey said with a smile. He couldn't help but reach out to caress her belly.

Two hours passed, and Melanie gave Annie a call.

Annie said that the Yorks brought Yelena back first, but Harlow’s men were still at the base, looking ready to wait for her to their deaths.

“I'll find a way out of this.” Melanie said before hanging up. She pondered for a moment before calling Leo.

After exchanging pleasantries, she asked Leo, “Is there something important happening today? Why must | go over to your place? | have consultation duties outside, and will only return to the

professor's research base very late.”

“It's nothing important, really. My grandfather kept grumbling about you not visiting him for a long time,” Leo said. He paused for a moment before asking. “What kind of patient are you seeing? Is his condition very complicated?”

“His condition isn’t exactly complicated, but he’s a man of a special status, which makes things more troublesome,” Melanie said in a deliberately vague manner.

Even if she didn’t tell him the truth, the Yorks had the ability to find out that she went to see Jeffrey today.

“I'll need to trouble you to pass the message to Mr. Joseph that I'll find him another day. | really can’t make it today,” Melanie added.

“Alright, then. It’s my aunt's birthday the day after tomorrow. My grandfather said it’s been many years since we celebrated her birthday, and he wants to give her an amazing time. Please attend. It'll be a chance for us to chat about promoting your fragrances,” Leo seized the chance to

suggest.

Melanie pursed her lips. It would've been easier if it were other people, but she had no reason to reject attending Yelena’s birthday banquet. If she rejected the invitation, it might raise suspicions.

“Sure,” she said, having no choice but to agree. “In that case, Leo, please help take your men away and not make things difficult for the staff members at the research base.”

“Sure, I'll inform them right away.” Leo agreed.

After hanging up, Melanie pondered about it and said, “Seems like it’s inevitable for me to visit the

Yorks.”

“| can arrange some made-up schedule over the next few days to avoid the Yorks‘ spies.” Jeffrey suggested.

Melanie considered his suggestion before shaking her head. “No. The Yorks already suspect me. | might be able to dodge this time, but there'll be a next time. By then, my stomach will get even bigger and harder to conceal.”

“I'll immediately get someone to find a gown that can help hide that,” Jeffrey said, pointing at her round stomach.

Melanie nodded in agreement.

Just then, Professor Turner’s anxious voice sounded through the door. “Jeffrey, is there food here?”

Melanie and Jeffrey exchanged smiling glances as he helped her down the door. He opened the door, and said to Professor Turner, “Wait for us in the living room. Dinner will be served in a jiffy.”

Professor Turner glanced in displeasure at the couple standing at the door, and grumbled, “You two might not be hungry, but I’m dying of hunger! You two have no respect for the elderly.”

“We're hungry too.” Jeffrey said. “Are you sure? Didn’t you two just eat? There are food stains everywhere!” Professor Turner said, +15 BONOS

His words made them look down and realize that they completely neglected their appearances with the fruit stains still on their shirts red stains of watermelons, green stains of kiwi, yellow

stains of oranges. Melanie blushed.

Their white shirts were stained the colors of the rainbow. It left little to the imagination as to what happened in the room just

now’ “I'll go wash up.” Melanie said as she hurriedly turned to leave..

Jeffrey, who was behind her, caught up and said, “Let’s wash up together. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
