My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!

...

Melody Thorne had slept the whole afternoon, and Nina King’s calls had come in countless times. A big stir was happening online, with many people demanding an explanation from Melody Thorne.

She had just come downstairs and bumped into Leon Rivers, who was coming in with a medical kit.

"Come here," Jared Quinn beckoned to her with a hand gesture.

Reluctantly, Melody Thorne walked over, lay down on the sofa, her head resting on Jared Quinn’s lap as she closed her eyes.

Leon Rivers opened the medical kit and took out long silver needles to remove the blood clots in her brain.

"Leon Rivers, your medical skills are quite good," Melody Thorne commented.

The needle entering her head surprisingly didn’t hurt.

Leon Rivers said, "If I dare claim second, no one would dare claim first."

"There’s Elias Hale; his medical skills are better than yours."

Leon Rivers was so angry he almost spat blood. Just who was siding with whom!

Half an hour later, a fuming Leon Rivers left. Melody Thorne had just woken up, but she always felt like sleeping again after Leon Rivers’s acupuncture. How strange.

"Are you hungry? Let’s eat first."

"Hmm, a little," Melody Thorne touched her stomach. She was indeed hungry, but the thought of the bland diet from the past two days instantly killed her appetite. "Forget it, I’d rather go back to sleep."

"Wow, this steak looks great, and there’s crab too. Dad, did you make all this today? It looks so luxurious," Timmy’s voice came through. Melody Thorne looked at the table, and indeed, there was a perfect balance of meat and vegetables. Her steps towards the stairs immediately turned back, "I suddenly realized I’m very hungry; I’d better eat a bit before going upstairs."

Jared Quinn looked at her indulgently, as if gazing at a little glutton, "Don’t eat too much."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know," Melody Thorne promptly grabbed a crab.

"Ma’am, your appetite now is better than before," the butler commented.

"Indeed, it’s better than before," Jared Quinn agreed. Now she had more flesh compared to before when she was too skinny.

But... her stamina is still lacking!

Maybe eating more will boost her stamina.

At the company, Nina King was almost on the verge of tears. Something must have happened, right? She wasn’t answering calls; could it be she was surrounded by others?

But Jared Quinn was right beside her; how could she possibly be surrounded!

Melody Thorne was only allowed to eat one crab, some other dishes, and a bowl of medicinal porridge to help eliminate blood clots.

After eating her fill, she felt alive again, finally shaking off the shadow of eating bland food.

Nina King’s call finally connected. She was almost crying, "Melody Thorne, what on earth are you doing? Can we go back to our usual way of making big money together?"

Melody Thorne was just about to speak when her phone chimed. It was a bank notification about funds received. Glancing at the figure, all she saw were rows of zeros. Just as she was counting, a voice came to her ear.

"All the money under your name has been transferred to you. Do whatever you want. Don’t fret over a mere two or three billion!"

Melody Thorne was speechless, "..."

On the other end of the line, Nina King felt like she had been struck by lightning. Is it really okay to show off their relationship like this in front of her all day?

"Melody, you’re top of the class now, aren’t you? Not short of cash? I think it’s best if we part ways; I’ll find another partner."

Being shown off to every day like this, sooner or later, she’d die from it!
