Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 925 - 921: Not Willing to Forgive

"Really? You’re not lying to Mom?" Melody Zachary excitedly grabbed Mia Foster’s hand, but before Mia could answer, Felix Shaw had already laughed and said, "Mom, don’t worry. For your wish, I’ll make sure to work hard every night!"

Mia Foster...

found that Felix Shaw was becoming more shameless, saying such shameless things in front of his parents. She glared at him in reproach, only to hear Melody Zachary say, "Alright, let’s have Evander arrange the surgery, so I can take care of my grandchild after I recover."

The next day, Melody Zachary was wheeled into the operating room for surgery. Mia Foster’s mother also came to the hospital to stay with her daughter in the corridor. Knowing that Melody was timid, Oliver Shaw also went in, changed into sterile clothes, and the tall man stood by the operating table, tightly holding Melody’s hand.

The surgery was very successful. Oliver Shaw stayed in the hospital to take care of her every day, which Melody initially agreed to, but after a week, she no longer wanted Oliver Shaw’s company.

She kept asking for a caregiver and would lose her temper every time Oliver Shaw got close.

After many years of marriage, Oliver Shaw understood Melody’s feelings. Her entire left breast had been removed, and she initially wasn’t very aware, but as the wound gradually healed and the swelling subsided, her swollen left side slowly became smaller.

He knew what Melody cared about, so when she threw a tantrum again, he didn’t obediently leave but sat on the hospital bed and hugged her into his arms.

Frowning, he said sternly, "We’ve been married so long, I won’t mind,"

At first, when Oliver Shaw hugged her, Melody Zachary struggled, but hearing him say this, she stopped struggling and murmured, "It’s so ugly, such a big scar..." She had seen it with her own eyes when the doctor changed the dressing that day. The entire breast was gone, sunken, and there was a long scar.

"I said, I won’t mind," Oliver Shaw once again coaxed her with resignation, lifting Melody up to look at him, "At our age, appearance doesn’t matter; being healthy is the most important thing!"

"Do you really think that?" Melody asked, doubtful. Oliver Shaw nodded helplessly, "Yes."

"If you really don’t mind, why did you keep such a young woman?" This was the first time Melody brought up the matter since the divorce. Oliver Shaw’s affair hit her hard, and though they’d been divorced for many years, she felt cold-hearted every time she remembered his ruthlessness, which was why she refused to forgive him.

"Cough cough..." When confronted with the past, Oliver Shaw coughed awkwardly, his gaze noticeably dodging, "Those were mistakes of my youth, why bring them up again?"

Melody Zachary moved out of Oliver Shaw’s arms and leaned back on the soft pillow, muttering as she looked ahead, "Oliver Shaw, if Vanessa Armstrong hadn’t done what she did, would you have continued living with her?"

Oliver Shaw held Melody’s hand, "Melody, it was my mistake back then. Please forgive me."

Melody shook off Oliver Shaw’s hand, still staring ahead, "I don’t want to forgive, you were so heartless back then,"

"I was confused, blinded..."

Oliver Shaw once again held Melody’s hand, "We’re at an age where we’re not really old, but not young either. Please be magnanimous and forgive me. Move back home so we can have someone to talk to."

"No, I’m staying at Felix’s place."

"It’s inconvenient to stay at our son’s place,"

"If it’s inconvenient, I’ll just find a new place to live, but I won’t stay with you!"

Seeing Melody’s resolute attitude, Oliver Shaw suggested, "How about... when you’re discharged, we go on a vacation together? You always loved to travel,"

"I don’t have money,"

"Didn’t I give you all my shares?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"I gave them to Felix, so I have to go out and work to support myself,"

Oliver Shaw understood Melody’s intentions, sighed, "Okay, I’ll cover the cost of the vacation,"

"But you can’t go back on your word,"

"Mm, I won’t."
