Chapter 379 Divorce

Melanie stood up, and followed the medical staff to the guest room on the first floor. The doctor had to

treat Jeffrey’s wound, and outsiders weren’t allowed in.

She stood outside anxiously. Very soon, all the bodyguards of Morgan Group were gathered outside,

standing behind her and William while waiting for instructions.

The butler was waiting outside, while the servants kept him constantly updated on the situation.

Melanie could hear them saying that the attacker was a subordinate of Charles Miller, and that he had

come to seek revenge on her…

But she had no mental capacity to try to figure out what was going on: Her focus and attention were all

turned to the door before her that was still tightly shut.

Melanie finally heaved a sigh of relief when the doctor came out and informed them that Jeffrey wasn’t

severely injured, and that his main artery wasn’t wounded. Jeffrey would be able to recover with some

rest and recuperation.

“Mrs William blurted out, almost making a mistake in front of outsiders. He quickly corrected himself

and said, “Miss Jones, would you like to head in and see President Morgan?”

Melanie nodded, and walked in with William.

Jeffrey was lying quietly on the bed.

“President Morgan was administered some painkillers, and he’s sleeping right now,” the doctor

explained.

“Thank you so much, Doctor,” William said.

Melanie stood there, unmoving.

The scene of the man charging toward her with a broken bottle aimed at her kept replaying in her mind.

The moment Jeffrey blocked her from the attack, all she could see was his back.

So strong, firm and resolute in blocking her from all harm.

She was moved.

But the same issue remained. She was not sure whether he risked his life to block the attack for her, or

for

the heart inside her.

The issue sounded foolish, but it was real to her.

Having thought through all these, she walked up to Jeffrey and placed the bloodstained divorce papers

on the bedside table. She was about to turn and leave, when William stopped her in shock.

He asked, “Are you…not staying for a while longer?”

“No, I’m not.” Melanie turned around. “When he wakes up, help me convey my thanks to him.”

With that, she left the room without looking back.

With the knot in her heart still stubbornly there, her relationship with Jeffrey would only risk getting

exposed if she were to overstay her presence. Although their relationship was probably no secret to the

intelligent Yorks, she wanted to still try and keep things under wraps before it became public.

Not long after Melanie left the room, Jeffrey woke up. He looked around and disappointment filled his

eyes after confirming that William was the only other person in the room.

“President, we’ve thoroughly cleaned the entire room,” William said.

“Where is she?” Jeffrey asked, when he immediately understood that William meant that there weren’t

any surveillance cameras in the room.

“Mrs. Morgan left upon seeing that you were alright. She even said thank you.” William looked down,

not daring to see Jeffrey’s forlorn eyes.

“Did she…not say anything else?” Jeffrey muttered in disbelief.

“Mrs. Morgan left that for you…” William pointed to the bedside table.

Jeffrey looked at the bloodstained divorce papers, flabbergasted.

He gave her these papers with his last ounce of strength before he passed out, with the intention of not

giving her any way out. He didn’t expect her to return this to him before he regained consciousness!

Did she still want the divorce?

Jeffrey felt a sudden pain in his wound, so strong that he started doubting the reality of life.

Melanie walked for a distance before bumping into the Yorks‘ butler. He showed some perfunctory

concern for Jeffrey’s injury before mentioning that Leo was injured, too.

At that time, Leo was the nearest to Melanie and was the first to fight against the attacker. Melanie

seemed to recall that he had been slashed by the glass bottle and collapsed on the floor.

“Is he alright?” Melanie asked out of concern.



“Why don’t you go see him yourself?” the butler suggested.

Every York was helping Leo pursue Melanie, and they weren’t giving up even though she and Jeffrey

were still officially together. She was really curious as to why the Yorks fancied her so much.
