Chapter 12
Rushed to the ward, the medical staff were all waiting in the room.
Graham looked fierce, “Where is he?”
“We checked the cameras, Ms. Melody left the hospital by herself in the morning. We already looked everywhere nearby but couldn’t find her, and we couldn’t reach Ms. Melody either.”
The doctor said nervously, “Ms. Melody’s stuff was all still here, maybe she just went out for a walk?”
Missing, lost contact…
How could it have been just going out for a walk?
Graham got more and more anxious. When he thought of Melody’s anxious. When he thought of Melody’s
adoptive mom and how filial she was, he felt a bit better.
Anyway, Melody couldn’t possibly ignore Olive.
“Mr. Dorrick, this was what the cleaning lady found on the floor this morning.” the doctor said.
In her hand, it was a broken, dirty blessing charm.
Just one look, and Graham felt his breath go cold.
He took it, and the words he wrote himself were clear: “Hope Elaine gets what she wishes for.”
The blessing charm opened up, which meant Melody had already seen the words on it.

Chapter 12
Melody had a miscarriage, got depressed, and fell into the river… But
Darian and Doris didn’t remember to get her a blessing charm, not even as an afterthought–they just didn’t think it was necessary.
And what about him?
The answer was found, but even after kneeling devoutly on 999 steps, all I thought about was Elaine.
Graham’s fingertips trembled.
Three months pregnant, Melody never left the blessing charm. How would she feel when she saw the words on it?
Putting himself a bit in her shoes, Graham just felt this tight, crushing pain in his chest, almost going crazy.
He put down the blessing charm and took Melody’s bag.
A spare coin purse, a lipstick, a small comb and a small mirror…….
All her stuff was there, the only thing missing was her ID.
Suddenly, a piece of paper fell out from inside. Graham glanced over and felt like he’d fallen into an ice cellar.
Post–abortion surgery instructions…
The name written above was Melody.
Graham suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, “What is this, you tell me! How could Melody have had an abortion?”
The doctor got scared and stepped back a few steps, “Mr. Dorrick, Ms. Melody called you the day she had the miscarriage, didn’t you know about this?”

“What nonsense!” Graham grabbed him by the collar.
“That day, Ms. Melody was in danger. The only one who could possibly save the baby, Dr. Cardell, wasn’t he called away by you to stitch up your girlfriend’s wound?”
Graham’s mind went “boom,” and everything that happened that day flashed before his eyes.
“Mr. Dorrick, the ER needed Dr. Cardell over there, there was a pregnant woman who had to have surgery right away.”
“Wait.”
“If we waited any longer, we couldn’t have saved the baby.”
The pregnant woman’s file was already in front of him. With just one look, he could tell it was Melody
Melody’s call came in too, but he didn’t pick up either.
At that time, all he could see was Elaine and the cut on her hand that was less than a centimeter long.
He said, “Then she just had bad luck and wasn’t meant to have a child.”
Graham lowered his head, his hands were clean and slender, but he seemed to see them covered in blood–that blood belonged to Melody and the child.
His hands shook, and a bloody taste spread in his mouth.
Melody had been pregnant with seven of his kids, and he didn’t want any of them.

But when he really wanted it, the child was gone, and once again, died in his hands.

Suddenly, Graham thought of the place Melody always went after every miscarriage.
He rushed out of the hospital right away.
Half an hour later, he got back home.
The servant came up right away, “Mr. Dorrick, Mrs. Dorrick, she…”
Before the servant finished speaking, Graham’s eyes lit up, and he ran upstairs and pushed open the door to the kids‘ room.
The wind made the curtains flutter, and it was empty inside.
Graham’s heart tightened. He snapped at the servant, “Where’s Mrs. Dorrick?”
“Mrs. Dorrick didn’t come back, she just had someone deliver something.”
Graham looked down, and his face suddenly lost all its color.
It was from Melody…
