Chapter 698
“Men and women should keep a distance from each other. It’ll be better if you do it.”
Nash put the bowl containing the beauty cream on the coffee table with a serious face and then went for a walk outside the villa with his hands behind his back.
Of course, he knew that Hera said that on purpose. However, he genuinely never thought about helping Melody apply the medicine himself.
Even if Hera was not around, he would have gotten Maria to do it.
“Smart man.”
A smile appeared on Hera’s lips.
Lauren raised the temperature in the room slightly and then asked Maria to help remove Melody’s clothes.
The three of them frowned as they looked at the crisscross wounds on Melody’s body. Hera carefully applied the beauty cream to Melody’s body with a small brush.
Lauren sighed slightly. “She’s been through so much…”
Melody was not much older than Hera.
She only ended up like this because she was protecting Hera.
Lauren subconsciously wanted to love her as her own daughter.
Hera’s eyes turned red as she said, “We have to treat her even better when she wakes up.”noveldrama
Thinking that Melody had lost her family, Hera suddenly stopped and looked at her mother. She asked, “Mom, how about you adopt Melody as your goddaughter?”
Lauren was stunned for a moment. After that, she chuckled and said, “Aren’t you afraid of falling out of favor?”
The thought had just crossed her mind when Hera brought it up. She was indeed her biological daughter.
“No way, maybe I’d love her more than you do!”
Hera continued to apply the medicine on Melody’s body.
Lauren pursed her lips and smiled. “Then let’s ask Melody when she wakes up. We don’t even know if she’ll agree.”
Melody was a shareholder of Universal Group and had a net worth of tens of billions. Her personal assets were comparable to any Second Tier Elite Family in Jonford.
Therefore, it was good enough to have a decent relationship with her. Lauren did not even dare to think about accepting her as her goddaughter.
Outside the villa, Nash took out a cigarette and was about to light it when there was a strong true energy fluctuation not far away.
It was almost fleeting.
Nash lit the cigarette and looked around, only to see Jasper getting up from the ground in a panic.
Harrison walked out of the car and asked anxiously, “Where’s the old man?”
“He escaped…”
Jasper calmed the shock in his heart and spoke in a deep voice.
He just hit an old man while driving. However, when he went down to check, the old man suddenly made a move.
After all, he was once the number one killer, so he reacted quickly enough to avoid the old man’s attack.
Both of them had trained their speed, so they could exchange dozens of moves in just one second.
The old man’s speed far exceeded Jasper’s, and the old man was more than ten times faster than him.
During the fight, Jasper also saw the disdain and arrogance in the old man’s eyes.
Victory was evident in that one second.
Undoubtedly, Jasper was knocked to the ground.
When he stood up again, the old man had disappeared.
Harrison was just an ordinary person. He had not even been able to react when Jasper hit someone in that second.
“I’m sorry for scaring you.”
Jasper dusted himself off. He looked very calm, but there was already a storm in his heart. Who was that old man?
