Chapter 480 Protect Her And The Baby
When Melanie regained consciousness, her first Instinct was to touch her belly. That was when she
realized that both her arms were culled to the sides of the bed. She was unable to move.
She tried hard to lift her head; she saw the bulge in her stomach, and subconsciously heaved a sigh of
relief.
She decided not to struggle so vehemently again; firstly for the safety of her baby, and secondly, her
struggle seemed to be in vain anyway.
She felt subtle tugs of pain in her stomach, and forced herself to calm down to think.
Melanie could hear waves crashing against the boat from inside the room. Before she fainted, she
heard the masked men talking about taking her into a boat. She must be in one right now.
The masked men seized the professor, her mother, and Yelena and even claimed to want to kill them
all except her. They even said that they received instructions to leave her and her baby alive.
Who would care so much for her and her baby?
It couldn’t possibly be the Yorks, nor could it be Nathan.
If it were Nathan, he would at most preserve her life due to Emma’s heart. He wouldn’t care for the
baby at all.
Who else could it be?
Someone who not only cared for her and her baby’s life, but even knew the location of the base.

Just as she was beginning to be filled with doubts, the door opened. She instinctively shut her eyes,
pretending to be asleep.
Two men walked in, one of which said, “Hey, she’s still asleep.”
Just then, she heard a phone ring.
The other person instructed, “Answer the call!”
The first man who spoke answered the call in hands–free mode. “What instructions do you have
for us?”
“How is she doing?”

The voice of the man over the phone caught Melanie completely off guard; she shuddered in
shock.
It was William! A voice she couldn’t be more familiar with!
The two men noticed her sudden movement, and the other man Immediately said, “Switch the
loudspeaker mode off!”
They then left the room and shut the door, during which she could still hear the two men reporting
to William about her situation…
A few minutes later, the door opened once more. One of the two men who entered just now yelled. “I
know you’re awake. Quit putting up an act!”
Melanie opened her eyes, and saw a bald man in the room. He was masked, but she could still
see a scar by his right eye–it made him look wicked and dangerous.
“We were kept busy all night last night just to keep you and your baby alive!”
“What about my mother, Yelena York, and the rest?” Melanie asked, trying her best to stabilize her
shaking voice.
“They’re dead,” the bald man answered her with no hesitation.
“What did you say?” Melanie felt faint despite having mentally prepared herself.
She clenched her fists hard, letting her fingernails dig into the flesh of her palm to force herself to
remain calm. “Why did you kill them?”
“I did it purely for the money. As for why the buyer wants them to be killed, it must be because they
knew too much. Everyone who wants to silence people do it for this reason,” the bald man
rubbed his head and smiled wickedly as he answered Melanie.
Her mother was already unconscious, yet whoever he was still wanted to silence her? :
Melanie bit her lower lip so hard it started bleeding. She could taste the strong, metallic taste in
her mouth.
“Who are you guys? Where are you bringing me?” she asked again.
“Don’t waste your breath. Have you ever heard of a hitman revealing his own name and identity?” The

your baby.”
“Are you trying to keep me captive?”

“You can say so.”
The bald man surveyed Melanie from head to toe as his eyes flashed. “Don’t you like it? It’ll be so quiet
with no one disturbing you from your rest. If it weren’t for the instructions I’ve received to not touch you,
I’m actually rather tempted to.”
The bald man’s gaze caressed her chest and waist. Although she was pregnant, her naturally fair and
dewy skin and mesmerizing facial features stood out very much. Her good figure was half- hidden in
the oversized hospital gown she was wearing, which made the temptation even stronger.
Melanie subconsciously brought her knees together in a protective stance.
The bald man walked over, and smiled wickedly, “But I didn’t receive any instructions about not having
a quick taste of you. Perhaps it’s a good idea to satisfy my curiosity!”
The man reached out for her collar, itching to go further. Melanie shuddered all over as disgust rose up
her chest.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, the door of the room opened.
Dim light shone on Jeffrey’s figure. They looked at each other and Melanie’s eyes suddenly welled up
with tears, so much that she couldn’t really see him clearly…
