Chapter 29
As soon as Melanie hid in the garden with Angie, Tracy’s voice came close.
“Search carefully and catch the thief.”
The servants answered and then spread out.
“I must find this thief, beat that guy to death and then send that guy to the police station.”
Tracy walked around cursing.
Melanie bent over and felt anxious.
Melanie thought, ‘It’ll be awkward if the Robertson family finds out that I’m the one who broke in.
‘Besides, if the surveillance cameras are repaired in half an hour, I’ll also be exposed!
When Melanie was so anxious, she saw someone walking toward her.
That person gradually came close to Melanie.
Melanie gritted her teeth and then took out the blade hidden in her sleeve.
After that day she had lunch with Ryan and met that incident, Darrin taught her to hide a blade in her sleeve for unexpected needs.
Suddenly, that person stopped and went to another side.
Melanie felt slightly relieved. But before she could take a breath, that person paused for a moment and walked toward the garden again.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Melanie was about to do something when that person said, “Mrs. Robertson, there is no one in the garden.”
Melanie suddenly looked up and saw Andrew staring at her not far away.
When they looked at each other, Melanie was so nervous that she felt that her blood was almost frozen.
One second, two seconds, three seconds!
Andrew looked away calmly as if nothing had happened and then walked out of the garden.
“Mrs. Robertson, there is no one in the garden. Perhaps that person has gotten. away from the gate.”
Then Tracy walked toward the gate while cursing.
Melanie breathed a sigh of relief. She almost killed someone just now!
Melanie thought, ‘But why did Andrew help me?”
But now she didn’t have time to think about it. The most important thing was to get out of here first.
But Angie hadn’t woken up, and Darrin hadn’t come yet. Meanie couldn’t climb over the wall with Angie on her back.
Suddenly, a figure rushed over.
Melanie was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Darrin.”
“Mela.”
A familiar deep voice sounded.
It was Roderick!
“What are you doing here?!”
Roderick grabbed Melanie’s hand and whispered, “Come with me.”
“Carry Angie on your back.”
“My back is yours.”
Roderick whispered in Melanie’s ear. The refreshing smell attracted Melanie’s attention for a second.
“I’ll leave myself.”
A man in black had already carried Angie on his back. The three of them hurried.
all the way to the backyard.
When the four of them came all the way to the wall in the backyard, a lift had already been set beside the 30–foot–high wall.
Before Melanie could react, Roderick held her in his arms.
After a while, they reached the other side of the wall.
Then Melanie saw two rows of men in black standing in the darkness.
One of them stepped forward and said, “Sir, it’s all done.”
As soon as Roderick waved his hand, they left at once.
Roderick stood in front of Melanie and stared at her.
“Who is Darrin?”
“A friend of mine who came with me. Did you see him?”
“No,” Roderick said coldly. “You care about him?”
Melanie was stunned for a second.
“He’s my friend. Of course I care about him.”
Hearing this, Roderick was obviously surprised, but soon he became indifferent again.
“I’ll send you home.”
Melanie thought that Darrin should be fine with his skills, so she sent him at message and then went back to the Harbour Villa in Roderick’s car.
After all these, it was almost dawn.
On the way, Roderick frowned and kept silent. The atmosphere in the car was so subdued.
Angie didn’t wake up until they were about to get home.
Seeing herself sitting in the Lambert family’s car, Angie observed the weird atmosphere in the car and then kept silent sensitively.
As soon as the car stopped at the Harbour Villa, Angie hurriedly got out of the car.
The driver also got out of the car, but neither Roderick nor Melanie moved.
After a while of silence, Melanie couldn’t bear it anymore. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Thank you for today.”
Roderick didn’t look at Melanie. After a while, he finally said, “I was just passing by.”
Melanie didn’t believe any of his words.
But after thinking about it, Melanie didn’t say anything.
Melanie knew Roderick was angry, but she didn’t want to please him.
After saying “Thank you“, Melanie got out of the car without looking back.
In fact, Melanie had been hating Vanessa and everyone in the Robertson family over the years, and she also hated Roderick at that time.
But if it weren’t for Roderick back then, she might have died long ago.
Thinking of this, Melanie suddenly turned around and looked at the person in the
car.
But the window had already been rolled up, and Roderick was also staring at her.
In the morning light and breeze, something seemed to have changed while they were looking at each other.
Over the years, every night when Melanie was shocked by a nightmare, she would wake up in a voice.
“Don’t worry.”
These times, Melanie’s eyes had gone blind, but as soon as Roderick got close to her, her eyes would magically return to normal.
Melanie still remembered the call with her eye doctor Dr. Powell that day.
“Melanie, your blindness is related to psychological factors. If there is someone who can make your eyes change like this, you should try to spend more time with him. Maybe your eyes will suddenly be cured completely.”

“Or maybe it’s just a coincidence.”
“You can try it again. What if it’s not?”
