Chapter 189
The car disappeared from Tiffany’s sight as it merged into the traffic flow. Twenty minutes later, it stopped in front of the hospital. In the back seat, Melody paid the fare and thanked the driver before quickly entering the hospital, cradling a
thermos filled with meat broth.
In the VIP ward at the same time, Kenneth had been preoccupied with thoughts of the girl who had saved him during his near-death experience after being chased. Even though her face had been obscured, those apparent eyes had left an unforgettable impression, etched in his mind and impossible to erase. He was desperate to find her.
However, after sending people to search throughout Lovell City, it was as if the girl had vanished without a trace, leaving no
Kenneth sighed as he sat up in his bed. After the Miracle Healer had come to administer treatment a few days ago, the pain he experienced at that time was indeed excruciating. However, since then, the wounds on his body have significantly lessened in pain, and his recovery speed has noticeably improved.
Even though he felt a bit of disdain for the eccentric and confrontational Miracle Healer, he had to admit that their astonishing skills and abilities were awe-inspiring and impossible to ignore.
Having been lying down for too long and feeling restless, Kenneth decided to get up and stroll around the hospital. He rode the elevator down smoothly to the first floor. However, as he rounded the corner after stepping out of the elevator, he collided with a girl rushing past.
The girl’s thermos accidentally fell to the ground, spilling soup everywhere and creating quite a mess. Kenneth immediately apologized, saying, “I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?”
The girl looked sadly at the spilled soup on the ground, feeling frustrated as she patted her head. Hearing his words, she raised her head and replied apologetically, “It was my fault for being reckless; it’s not yours. By the way, are you okay?”
The moment the girl lifted her head, her clear, sparkling eyes struck Kenneth like a jolt. The charming face before him seemed identical to the girl who had saved him that night. The more he looked, the more the image in his memory overlapped with the girl standing before him.
Kenneth felt a surge of excitement as he grasped the girl’s hand. His voice was urgent and tense as he asked, “You saved me, right? It was you that night, wasn’t it?”
“What are you talking about?” The girl said, clearly flustered. She perceived him as turning mad and instinctively pulled away, her voice trembling as she added, “Please let go!”
Kenneth, still recovering from his injuries, felt the impact of their collision jolt him painfully. The girl quickly slipped from his grasp, vanishing around the corner before he could even begin to chase after her. Leaning against the wall, he panted heavily, his breath in short gasps. The motion had reopened some of his worst wounds, blood seeping through the bandages and quickly staining his shirt.
After realizing he had left the ward, the nurse and two bodyguards from the Harper family immediately rushed downstairs to look for him. It didn’t take them long to locate him.
Seeing him covered in cold sweat with his wound reopened, they quickly rushed over to support him. “Mr. Harper, are you alright?”
“I’m fine…” Kenneth disregarded his injuries, pointing at the mess and the discarded thermos on the ground as he told his subordinates, “Find her, find her!” After saying this, he fainted.
Though his words were disjointed, the two subordinates understood clearly. After all, during Kenneth’s hospitalization, he had repeatedly mentioned wanting to find someone. They had deployed numerous resources and searched everywhere in Lovell City, yet they still hadn’t found the person he was looking for.
After all, the location where Kenneth had the incident was quite remote, and it had happened late at night without any surveillance cameras. Finding anyone who had passed by then was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Now, seeing Kenneth so agitated, the two subordinates looked down at the discarded thermos and were puzzled. It seemed that the person Kenneth was looking for had just been here. After sending Kenneth back to his ward and calling for a doctor, they reviewed the surveillance footage and started asking questions around the hospital based on the footage.
By the time Kenneth woke up two hours later, a detailed report had already been placed in his hands. “Mr. Harper, this is the young lady you asked us to find.”
Kenneth quickly took the report, and his anxious heart began to calm down, softening even his previously gloomy expression. The first line revealed the name–Melody Princeton.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Next to it was a photo provided by his subordinate. In the picture, Melody wore a neat ponytail, looking fresh and clean, with a gentle smile that made her appear bright and enchanting.
Kenneth eagerly continued to read. [Melody Princeton, female, age nineteen.]
[She resides in Lovell City, where she lives with her parents and an older brother. However, due to her brother’s gambling addiction and lack of ambition, the family struggles financially, forcing Melody Princeton to take on part-time jobs.]
Even this time, she came to the hospital to care for her sick mother, who couldn’t afford a nurse, so she took time each day to help. A girl at such a young age having to endure all this made Kenneth’s grip tighten.
As he continued reading, the file indicated that Melody was in the process of transferring schools. Due to her excellent grades, she qualified for an exceptional admission into Lovell School. As a high-achieving transfer student, she was awarded a substantial scholarship, which would free her from the need to work part-time.”
Kenneth felt a surge of excitement. It meant he would have more opportunities to get closer to her. Moreover, given his reckless behavior today, Melody was indeed frightened. He needed to find time to explain everything to her adequately.
He couldn’t help but feel impatient at the thought, so he asked, “When is she officially transferring to the school?”
His subordinate replied, “Next Monday.”
Sensing only two days left, Kenneth immediately said, “Get my discharge ready for the day after tomorrow! I need to get back to school!”
“Mr. Harper, your injuries haven’t healed yet. The doctor said you can’t move around too much right now; otherwise, your wounds could reopen at any moment.” His subordinate immediately tried to dissuade him, but it was impossible to reason with someone in such a state of urgency. Kenneth, lost in the joy of finally finding the person from his dreams, paid no attention to the warning.
At this moment, one of the subordinates couldn’t help but speak up. “Mr. Harper, are you sure that Miss Princeton is the person you’ve been looking for? During our investigation, we found that she never left her original school on the night of your incident.” He continued, “So, Mr. Harper, are you certain you haven’t mistaken the person you’ve been so obsessed with?”
After expressing his concerns, Kenneth gave him a cold glare and a warning, saying, “I know my mother doesn’t want me to find the person who saved me, but remember, this matter must be kept under wraps. My parents cannot find out, or the consequences will be on you!”
