Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 648 Sudden Change: Muir in Critical Condition…
Because, just like he promised, no matter how tumultuous the storms outside, he could always carve out a peaceful world for his woman and children.
To protect his woman and children, Adrian Davies had long divided Nightfall into three groups.
Among them, the strongest group, under the coordination of Locke and Ned Faris, was responsible for secretly protecting Melody Parker and the children.
The other two groups, respectively under the instruction of Rowan and Patrick Faris, were assigned to monitor James Sutton’s movements, and another to monitor Joseph Sutton’s movements...
The peaceful and happy life in River City continued day by day.
Four months had passed, and this morning, Melody Parker was woken by the ringing of her phone.
She groggily picked up the phone, seeing the caller ID displayed, it was Eli calling.
Melody Parker swiped to answer, "Hello, Eli."
Upon hearing Melody Parker’s voice, Eli immediately spoke anxiously, "Sister, Dad is critically ill, you need to come back quickly."
With those words, the sleepiness in Melody Parker vanished completely.
Anxiety overwhelming her, she urgently asked, "Eli, what on earth is going on? How did Dad suddenly become critically ill?"
Eli’s voice, carrying sobs, sounded, "Dad’s health was never very good, and it’s been getting worse lately. To avoid worrying you, Dad didn’t let us tell you. Now he..."
Melody Parker’s mind was in turmoil.
How could this happen?
She must go back immediately!
"Eli, I’m coming back right away!" After speaking to Eli, Melody Parker hurriedly ended the call.
After ending the call with Eli, Melody Parker dialed Adrian Davies’s number while quickly changing out of her pajamas and randomly picking a casual outfit from the wardrobe.
During the clothing change, Melody Parker called Adrian Davies twice, but no one answered.
At that moment, Adrian Davies was in a meeting room conducting an emergency video conference because an incident occurred at the European headquarters—a Davies Group employee jumped off the building.
The situation was too urgent, so Adrian Davies went to handle it directly, forgetting his phone on the desk in the CEO’s office.
Seeing that Adrian Davies’s phone was unanswered, Melody Parker proceeded to text him.
[Adrian, Dad is critically ill; I’m going to Whitehill.]
After sending the message, Melody Parker headed straight to the airport and took a flight to Whitehill...
Davies Group CEO office.
After a video conference lasting over four hours, Adrian Davies’s deep-set features showed some fatigue.
Sitting there with an air of nobility, his dark eyes were filled with icy coldness.
The incompetent fools at the headquarters caused such a big mess in his absence!
Now, it seems he must handle it personally.
Thinking about leaving soon for Europe, Adrian Davies picked up the phone on the desk.
Unlocking the phone, two missed calls and one unread message appeared on the screen.
Adrian Davies gently tapped the screen, and upon seeing the content, immediately dialed Melody Parker’s number.
But the call didn’t go through; Melody Parker’s phone was off, indicating she’d already boarded the plane to Whitehill.
Without hesitation, Adrian Davies called Locke.
After two rings, Locke answered, "President."
Adrian Davies asked directly, "Did Nightfall follow Melody?"
"Yes, President," Locke responded, then reported in detail, "Ned Faris took part of Nightfall and went with Miss Parker to Whitehill. I’ve stayed behind with another part to continue protecting the young master."
"Good," Adrian Davies said coldly, hanging up the phone.
Then, he typed a message to Melody Parker on his phone.
[Melody, I just saw your message. There’s an issue in Europe I must handle, so I can’t go to Whitehill to accompany you right now. But don’t worry, once things are settled there, I’ll come to you immediately! Also, don’t overexert yourself. Ned Faris is with you, you can entrust any matters to him.]
After sending the message, Adrian Davies left the CEO’s office, exuding a cold aura, and headed with Tyler Dormer to River City Airport, from where he flew to Europe.
Just like that, Melody Parker and Adrian Davies, one went to Whitehill, the other to Europe.
Meanwhile, the two children remained in River City...
Whitehill, the royal palace.
Muir, bedridden for a long time, lay on the bed nearing his last breath.
Surrounded by many royal doctors conducting examinations.
Melody Parker, after a dusty and hurried journey from River City, stormed into Muir’s presence.
Seeing the man lying on the bed, not favored by time, with graying hair and wrinkles etched on his face—her father, Muir.
Muir’s face was pale, and he appeared very haggard.
Quietly lying there, his breath was weak.
His hollow, pale eyes, weathered by years, looked so powerless...
Melody Parker’s heart clenched fiercely, "How did Dad get so sick?"
She knelt beside Muir’s bed, eyes filled with concern, "Dad, how are you feeling?"
Seeing Melody Parker, Muir feebly smiled.
He looked at Melody Parker, shaking his head, "Dad is fine, it’s good that you’re back."
Moisture filled Melody Parker’s eyes, gazing at the seriously ill father who had longed for her return, apologetic, she said, "Dad, I’m sorry I returned only now."
"It’s okay, Melody, it’s not your fault," Muir replied with a compassionate smile, "It was I who didn’t let Eli and the others tell you; I didn’t want you to worry."
Muir’s health had always been poor.
This time, falling sick, he didn’t think much of it.
But as time passed, his condition showed no sign of improvement, instead worsening.
Muir could clearly feel that he didn’t have much time left.
Before his death, he had to see Melody Parker because there were very important things to entrust to her.
So, he had Eli notify Melody Parker.
Looking at her face, so similar to Una Sutcliffe’s, Muir slowly spoke, "Melody, it seems I’m going to join your mom; she’s been gone too long, too lonely alone..."
Melody Parker felt her heart aching terribly.
The crystalline tears hidden in her eyes finally fell uncontrollably.
Shaking her head repeatedly, she looked at Muir and cried, "Dad, no, I’ll take you to the hospital, find the best doctor for treatment, you’ll be okay!"
Muir smiled, looking at the room full of royal doctors, "My child, here, Dad never lacks skilled doctors."
