Chapter 374

Was This Too Much

On the other end, Andrea thought she had done a good deed, but she was criticized by her brother and
grandfather. She was even not allowed to get involved in the Quirke family’s affairs anymore, she was
furious no matter how she thought about it.

Seeing old Master Quirke and Andrius go upstairs, Andrea sat in the living room angrily for a while. She
picked on the servants from time to time.

Her anger did not ease no matter what. Finally, she called Wendy.

“Wendy, where are you now?”

Wendy was lying in the hospital with Melody sitting next to her. After receiving her call, she sneakily
lowered the volume of her phone. “I’m in the hospital. What’s the matter?”

“You haven’t been discharged?” Andrea was very concerned.

Andrea was aware that Wendy was hospitalized after she saved Melody. However, she had not visited
her much in the hospital during this period and did not expect Wendy’s injury to be so serious.

Hearing this, Wendy looked at Melody beside her bed, uncertain whether it was inadvertently or not.
She said, “I feel much better. I’m anxious to leave the hospital, but Aunt is still worried…”

Melody glanced at her with rebuke.

Wendy met her gaze and smiled at her.

“She should be worried about you. You only suffered this injury while saving her, and you’re her future
daughter-in-law. If she doesn’t care about you, who else can she go care about?” Andrea echoed with



a smile. Finally, her expression collapsed again. “I’ll go look for you in a moment. Wait for me!”

Wendy complied.

Hanging up, Melody placed a peeled orange to her mouth.

Wendy took it and looked at Melody helplessly. ” Aunt, I’m really fine now. You don’t have to take care
of me like this. I’ll feel uneasy if you continue like this. If

Melody glanced at her disapprovingly. “It takes a hundred days for broken bones to heal, and we’re still
far from a hundred days. Be good and stay in the hospital! Moreover, you say you feel uneasy if I take
care of you, but you got hurt like this because of me. If I don’t take care of you, I’m the one who will feel
uneasy!”

Hearing her say so, Wendy could not say anything more, she smiled in a well-behaved manner and ate
the orange obediently.

Only after seeing her behaving well was Melody fully satisfied. She nodded and said, “Once you marry
into the Lawrence family, our days of taking care of each other as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
will be long!”

Wendy blushed and looked at Melody with embarrassment. “Aunt, Byron’s stance isn’t clear yet. Don’t
say such things.”

Hearing this, Melody’s expression was slightly cold. “ My intent is the same as Byron’s. I’m about to
chase that Jacobs woman out of Coast city immediately.

Who else can Byron marry if not you?”

Wendy pretended to be puzzled, “why do you say so?”



“I’ve already warned all medicinal material businesses in Coast city not to cooperate with Jacobs. If she
has even an ounce of self-awareness, she should know that Coast City doesn’t welcome her!” Melody
responded coldly.

As part of Fuller Industries, which was the largest medicinal material business in Coast city, Wendy
naturally understood that method of Melody’s. Hearing this, she felt happy, but she had to look like she
could not bear it. “Aunt, isn’t it too much for US to treat Miss Jacobs like this? If the people in the
research institute know that this is because of her…”

“You don’t have to pity her. she can only blame herself for falling to this point. After all, she dared return
to Coast City after doing something

inexcusable to the Lawrence family!” Melody patted Wendy placidly on the shoulder. 1

Wendy pursed her lips and smiled.

“Who called you just now?” Melody asked again.

Wendy answered in a well-behaved manner, “It was Andrea, she said she’ll be coming to see me in a
bit.” Melody put down the things in her hand and got up. ” Since you’ll be having guests, I won’t disturb
you.

Give me a call if there’s anything.”

With that, she turned around and left the ward.
