I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 409 Biological Mother

Melanie woke up from a nightmare.

In the dream, she and the boy were trapped in thick smoke, unable to find a way out. She kept

coughing until she coughed herself awake.

“It’s okay… I’m hero..”

The voice that entered her ears was, surprisingly enough, Jeffrey’s voice.

Melanie was startled. She opened her eyes abruptly, and indeed saw that familiar face. Tears welled up

in her

eyes. “I’m not dreaming, right? Is it really you?”

She reached out to touch his face.

“It’s me… I’m here…”

Jeffrey held her hand in return, looking at her tearful eyes. His eyes were crimson as he frowned in

worry.

“What happened?”

Seeing Jeffrey, Melanie instantly found a pillar of support. She calmed down, and her first reaction was

to

reach for her belly.

“The baby?”



“The baby is fine.”

Jeffrey gently covered her slightly cool fingertips, warming them. “Don’t worry, he’s very well.”

“But I inhaled a lot of smoke…” Melanie still had doubts.

“The doctor said he’s developing well, and all the indicators are normal. Our child is strong.” Jeffrey

said, and

his face softened. “You’re not even three months pregnant. The doctor said if there were any problems,

the

child wouldn’t have survived. But since he’s so strong, it means he’s fine.”

Melanie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child was fine. Otherwise, she would live in guilt. At

this thought, tears flowed out of her eyes.

Jeffrey’s brows furrowed deeper. “Why are you crying again? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

She shook her head, wiping away tears. “I’m just scared. What if I didn’t protect him well…”

“By protecting yourself, you protected him. You did well,” Jeffrey comforted her softly.

Melanie sniffed, trying to control her emotions that were on the verge of getting out of control. She

started to analyze the mysterious events. “How was I saved?”

“After hearing that the York estate caught fire, my people arrived a step too late. When they came, you

were already saved by someone else. I found you in this hospital,” Jeffrey explained guiltily.

“Who saved me?” She was puzzled.

Jeffrey shook his head. “The surveillance footage during the time you were brought to the hospital had

been erased. The medical staff said the people who processed the procedures for you wore hats and

masks, making it impossible to see their faces.”

“Was it a man or a woman?” Melanie asked again.

“The nurse said it was two men.”

“There was no woman?” Melanie frowned. “I remember there was a woman, the one giving orders…”

“How do you remember?” Jeffrey held her hand, accompanying her in recalling her memories. He was

afraid

she would exert herself too much.

Melanie closed her eyes to recall, and then shook her head. “I’m not sure if it was a dream or reality.

Oh right!

She suddenly remembered something, and asked eagerly. “What about the boy? Was he captured?”

“He wasn’t found anywhere,” Jeffrey answered. “Are you saying that the boy was in the room with you

when

the fire broke out?”

“Yes.” Melanie nodded.

She told Jeffrey the complete story of how she secretly went to see the boy, and how the room caught

fire and was locked from the outside.



After Jeffrey heard that, he shook his head. “My people didn’t see him, and there were no signs of

struggle.”

That was strange.

Melanie furrowed her brows. Even if she assumed that the conversation between the man and the

woman in her memory was a dream, her memory of being trapped in the room with the boy was

absolutely real. The boy was really there. She also heard someone grabbing him and threatening him.

How could it be…?

“What about the Yorks? Did they find him?” Melanie asked.

Jeffrey still answered in the negative, “I’ve been with you all this while. I didn’t pay attention to anything

else.”

At that moment, William entered quietly. Seeing Melanie awake, he sensibly lowered his head to stand

aside. Jeffrey turned to ask him if there were any movements in the Yorks.

William replied, “Only Elder Gibson is causing a scene in the York family. There are no other

movements.”

“Why is my master there?” Melanie asked in confusion.

“When he heard that a fire broke out and that you were trapped, Elder Gibson searched for you with

me. He left only after confirming that you were safe. William said he drove back to the Yorks and is now

demanding

justice for you,” Jeffrey explained.



“Yes, Mrs. Morgan. Elder Gibson seized an opportunity. The Yorks started a fire without any reason,

and it just happened to implicate you. Considering your previous encounter with assassination at the

Yorks, Elder Gibson

Melanie lowered her gaze, feeling warmth in her heart.

Unexpectedly, her master was the obedient potential son–in–law in front of Mr. York for one moment;

the next, he would create chaos at the York family for her.

He was truly a good master.

“This time, I won’t let the York family off, either.” Jeffrey gritted his teeth, determined.

“Are you going to make a scene there as well?” Melanie smiled. “It’s enough that my master seeks

justice for me. I want to ask you, do you know who the boy’s mother is?”

“There are too many women around Harlow, and his recent gossip isn’t grabbing much attention

anymore,” Jeffrey said.

“The boy is ten years old. Judging from this, Harlow and the boy’s mother were probably together about

ten years ago. At that time, Harlow wasn’t even thirty years old. Can you investigate?” Melanie asked.

She remembered that the elegant and sharp woman had said that the boy was her son.

If that wasn’t a dream, the boy must have been rescued by now, and was probably with his biological

mother…
