Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

Melody was no ordinary senior citizen. Her loud voice immediately drew a crowd. Whispers and gossip filled the air.

"What kind of person is this, kidnapping someone's great-grandson?"

"How could she do something like this?"

"Even harming a child, this woman is a beast."

...

The condemnations grew louder, each one adding fuel to the fire of public opinion. Melody, having learned the power of such pressure, was more than willing to stoke the flames.

Erica returned from fetching water for Debra, only to find the hallway outside the ward packed with people. Nurses tried in vain to disperse the crowd, their efforts met with stubborn resistance. "What are you all doing here?" Erica demanded, her voice cutting through the chatter.

Melody turned to face her, a frown creasing her brow. "Miss Mathis, you're a prominent figure in Seamar City. Are you here to stand up for someone like Debra?"

Erica had enough of Melody's haughty attitude. "Mrs. Nichols Sr., you know well that both of us are respected figures. Creating a scene at the hospital like this doesn't seem appropriate, does it?" Melody sneered, undeterred. "Debra took Shelia. She is pregnant. Who knows if Debra is just jealous and trying to harm the baby?"

"Are you kidding me?" Erica looked at her with scorn. "You didn't see it when Shelia came to confront Debra with a new lover. Her speed in finding a man is astonishing. You really should manage her better." "Nonsense!" Melody bristled. "How could Shelia possibly run off with another man?"

The thought of such a scandal rocking the Nichols family was unbearable.

Erica snorted, "Why not investigate for yourself? Why come here to cause trouble for Debra? By the way, you might not know, but the replacement Shelia found plans to raise her unborn child as his own. It looks like your great-grandson might have to change his last name."

"You!" Melody's face paled at the implication.

The thought of their family's bloodline being claimed by another name was intolerable. Realizing the potential truth in Erica's words, she quickly released Debra and hurried out of the hospital, her entourage trailing behind her.

Debra rubbed her ears, wincing slightly. "You don't need to waste your breath with such people."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"I was just trying to vent your frustration," Erica replied. "Melody knows how to put on a loving act, but at critical moments, she is harsh and mean. It's revolting."

She looked at Debra's ears, worry etched on her face. "How are your ears? Should I call a doctor?"

Debra shook her head. "No need. It's just that her voice was loud, causing a bit of ringing in my ears."

Her mind drifted back to her past life, the dream that had haunted her. If that dream was indeed a memory, then Shelia was the one responsible for her death and the loss of her unborn child.

Her eyes darkened with a mix of pain and anger. If that was the case, she wouldn't let Shelia off the hook. But the Odom family was difficult to deal with. Meanwhile, Melody, unable to find Shelia, discovered from the security footage that Shelia had left the hospital with a man.
