Just like the father she imagined, looking at her with such a distressed gaze. If he had been by her side these twenty years, she believed she would have been overly coddled.

"Now that you’ve found me, what are you planning to do?" Howard Seymour was always concerned about whether Melody Thorne would inherit the Seymour Family,

but personally, he hoped Melody Thorne would not stay with the Seymour Family.

Melody Thorne lowered her head. The ring was personally placed on her finger by Jared Quinn. No matter where she was, as long as she made a small movement, Jared Quinn would receive the signal, find her here, then take her and Howard Seymour away.

But...

"Was it Hans Montrose who rescued you?" Melody Thorne asked, looking up, "Right now, Grandpa and the others all think you’re dead. If you go back, they’ll definitely be very happy."

Howard Seymour’s gaze turned to Hans Montrose with a smile in his eyes, "Indeed, I escaped the Seymour Family, but there were too many injuries on my body, to the point that even the bones in my legs were necrotic. Three years ago, I almost lost my life. It was he who told me he knew you, so for the past three years, he has been finding doctors to help treat my body."

So it really was Hans Montrose who rescued Howard Seymour, but Melody Thorne quickly realized the most important point: how did Hans Montrose find and rescue Howard Seymour three years ago?

Has he been orchestrating a grand scheme for a long time?

"Are you two engaged now?" Howard Seymour looked at them.

Melody Thorne just lowered her head and said nothing, but Hans Montrose spoke up first, "Yes."

Howard Seymour’s initial reaction was to look at his daughter, but Melody Thorne had already stood up and walked behind Howard Seymour, "Dad, let’s talk about these things later. Let’s go out for a walk first."

"Melody," Hans Montrose suddenly stopped her, "Uncle Howard’s body is still in the recovery phase, and he can’t go out. I’ve arranged prosthetics for his legs, but for now, he can’t leave the ward."

"Can’t even leave the room? How long exactly must he be confined in this hospital room?"

"Don’t worry," Howard Seymour smiled, "I’ve been here for almost three years; one more month won’t make a difference."

The nurse brought in the meal, and Melody Thorne quickly took it in her hands, "Dad, let me feed you." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Howard Seymour’s eyes moistened. The daughter in front of him whom he had once cradled was now all grown up. "No need, Dad’s hands aren’t incapacitated."

Melody Thorne dodged his hands, a gentle smile curling on her small face, "I know you’re not incapacitated, but I just want to feed you."

Howard Seymour couldn’t resist her and just went along. She mentioned a few times about the matters of the Seymour Family, how she managed to deal with the clan elder and the Seymour family’s Xing Zi and Clara, making Howard Seymour smile with relief.

Leaving the ward, Hans Montrose leaned against the corridor and watched her. In his enchanting eyes, she was clearly reflected. He reached out and held her hand, looking at her as if she were his girlfriend, leading her downstairs.

"You calculated a month so clearly. Can you tell me the reason for all this, Hans Montrose?"

Melody Thorne looked up, and much of her dissatisfaction with Hans Montrose had dissipated because he had saved Howard Seymour.

His gaze was just like before.

"If I said I only wanted to leave a place in your heart, would you believe me?" Hans Montrose smiled at her, his wine-red suit complementing his handsome face, "I’ve always been there for you since we were young, so just do this one thing for me."
