CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 251: ALSTON, IN THE END, YOU CAN’T BEAR TO KILL ME...

His brown eyes were unusually sinister.

He slowly crouched down, grabbing Oliver Nash by the collar, and asked harshly, "You lunatic, what the hell are you trying to do? Why are you harming Melody?!"

However, when Neal Galan grabbed his collar, Oliver surprisingly opened his eyes slowly. He looked at him deeply, his eyes filled with bloodshot redness, "Alston..."

Neal fished out a pistol and pressed it hard against Oliver’s brow, "You’re not dead yet; let me finish you, I’ll kill you!"

Pain filled Oliver’s brown eyes.

He was really going to kill him for that woman!

He looked at Neal, enduring the heartbreaking pain, and asked unwillingly, "Alston, she doesn’t even love you! Why do you insist...?"

"My business is none of your concern!" Neal coldly interrupted Oliver, resolutely stating, "Even if she doesn’t love me, so what? I am her destiny, and even if she doesn’t love me, I am her fate for this life! I will protect her and allow no one to harm her!"

Oliver’s heart grew numb with pain.

So even if she doesn’t love him, he still chooses to love her, unwilling to give him another glance.

He slowly closed his eyes and spoke calmly, "Do it, Alston... They missed just now... My heart is on the right side, as you know... I’m happy to die at your hands..."

Bang! A gunshot echoed in the silent night.

Then Neal disdainfully threw away the gun in his hand and left, heartbroken.

By the lake in the royal garden, Oliver slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at his left chest and arm, where fresh blood was trickling, a gleam touched his brown eyes, and a smile gradually formed at his lips.

Alston, ultimately, you couldn’t bear to kill me.

You knew my heart is on the right, yet you shot my arm...

...

Adrian Davies, holding Melody Parker, along with the kids, Ned Faris, and the others, boarded a helicopter overnight to return to Europe.

The helicopter landed near the laboratory of Tannis in Europe.

Adrian, holding Melody, rushed straight into Tannis’s lab, kicking the lab door open.

Inside the lab, Tannis was studying a medical experiment.

As the lab door was suddenly kicked open, his hands shook, leading the almost successful experiment to prematurely end in failure.

Tannis furiously yelled, "Who is that...?"

But when he looked up to see who had barged in, every word of scolding died down.

When his eyes landed on Melody Parker, whom Adrian held, Tannis was shocked.

He immediately dropped the scalpel, took off his white plastic gloves, and asked in panic, "What happened here? How did it get to this point?"

Adrian exuded an aura of death.

He clutched Melody tightly, his cold, murderous gaze sweeping towards Tannis, "Shut up! Hurry and check how she is!"

"Alright, alright! You lay her on..." Tannis turned around, pointing to a relatively clean small bed in the lab, "there."

With a blackened face, Adrian carried Melody towards the small bed, gently laying her on it.

Tannis immediately stepped forward to examine Melody.

"What happened? Who was so heavy-handed? This is akin to murder!" Seeing the striking purple marks on Melody’s pale neck, Tannis couldn’t help but mutter coldly.

"Luckily, she has a strong fate, if it were someone else treated like this, they might have already died!" Tannis finished his examination as he spoke.

He suspected that the princess must have activated her survival instincts, swapping her fate with another...

He looked at Adrian and relayed his findings.

"She’s temporarily okay, at least not in life-threatening danger. However, her throat was violently treated, damaging her vocal cords. Additionally, her body is severely exhausted and she will remain in a coma until she recovers."

Adrian’s jet-black eyes were filled with frost.

He coldly looked at Tannis, "Remain in a coma? What do you mean by that?"

"Heh." A smile tugged at Tannis’s lips, "It means, as soon as her body recovers, she’ll wake up immediately."

Adrian coldly looked at him, "How long?"

Adrian held Melody close as they flew back to Europe by helicopter.

He tirelessly held her close the whole way, warming her cold body with his own warmth.

Yet her body remained cold as ice, devoid of temperature...

If not for her faint breath, he would have thought she was already...

Along the way, seeing her pale, bloodless face, feeling her chillingly cold body that couldn’t be warmed, Adrian felt an indescribable heartache.

Accompanied by deep regret and fear.

He deeply regretted not going to Fland to accompany her sooner.

If he had, she wouldn’t have been kidnapped by David Galan, nor captured by the twisted Oliver Nash.

He regretted not finding the little wildcat sooner, blaming himself for not protecting her, which nearly resulted in her demise.

Beside him, the two kids were nearly brought to tears by anxiety.

They, like Adrian, feared something might happen to their mommy.

Yet they forcefully held back their tears, as if shedding a tear might lead to something bad happening.

Meanwhile, they silently prayed in their hearts, hoping their mommy would be okay and wake up soon to smile at them, calling them ’baby’ with warmth and affection.

They stayed by their daddy’s side, fearful yet bringing their mommy to this exceptional doctor who had once removed a bullet for their mommy.

But the words spoken by this brilliant doctor didn’t bring them any relief; instead, it heightened their anxiety.

Their worry for Melody Parker’s condition only deepened.

Adrian, Daniel, and Benjamin Parker, father and sons, stared at Tannis with cold, unwavering eyes, waiting for him to give them a definite time.

Looking into the similarly dark eyes of the father and sons, Tannis felt a chill run down his spine.

He couldn’t help but feel as if they would kill him if he couldn’t save Melody Parker.

"Initially, it might have taken a long time for her to wake, but since you brought her to me, it’s different." Tannis said as he reached into his pocket, drew out a brown pill, and fed it to Melody Parker.

He then hooked Melody up to an IV and turned to the father and sons, "I gave her medication to speed up her physical recovery, and she’s now getting nutrients intravenously, so you needn’t worry too much; she’ll wake up by tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the father’s and sons’ tightly held breath finally eased a bit.
