I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 386 Unworthy

“Alright.”

The woman took the name card. “Where did you get all these medicines from?”

“Your Master Leo got injured tonight, and this is the medicine that the doctor gave him. He also has an

external injury, so the medicine should match this boy’s needs,” Melanie said honestly.

“Master Leo is a very cautious man. He’ll find out about it…” the woman said, worried.

Melanie blinked and said, “I’ve only taken a little from all this medicine. However, even if he finds out,

thanks to his relationship with Harlow, he won’t mention anything.”

The woman clutched the medicine tightly and sobbed. “Thank you! Really, thank you!”

“Come on!” The woman walked over to the boy and patted him. “Say thank you.”

“It’s fine.”

Melanie extended her hand and patted the boy’s head. His forehead was still a little hot.

Feeling the warmth from Melanie, the boy smiled at him sincerely and relaxed. Then, he mumbled,

“Sad

doggy… Sad doggy…”

“What is he saying?” Melanie couldn’t hear him clearly.

The woman wiped her tears and said, “My apologies. He’s saying that the dog was pitifull… He was the

one



that found out those dogs had died. He was caught when he was burying them.”

The woman explained to Melanie what had happened when she saw that Melanie was confused.

The wealthy neighborhood nearby had a habit of keeping dogs, but several dogs had died one after

another

lately, including the dog that Sylvia owned.

Someone had seen the boy burying the dog, then said that he was the one that poisoned it. Sylvia then

sent

her men to beat the boy up, which was how he ended up with all those wounds.

“You’re saying that he was simply burying those dogs. Did no one see him poison the dogs?” Melanie

said as

she blinked.

The woman quickly nodded apologetically. “It’s all my fault. I’ve been busy with work and didn’t look

after him

properly, so I don’t know what he fed the dog…”

Even the woman that took care of the boy believed he poisoned the dog…

“He probably isn’t the one that poisoned those dogs.”

Melanie said on behalf of the boy. “While he looks like he is mentally challenged, it doesn’t seem like

he is mentally ill. It also doesn’t mean that he has a tendency to harm animals or other people.”

The woman was touched as she looked at Melanie.

Melanie turned around and looked at the boy, asking geritty, “What is your name?”

“L… I don’t know…”

The boy answered.

The woman behind him then said, “He… has no name.”

Melanie heard from the woman earlier that he was Harlow’s son. So that meant the boy was Harlow’s

flesh

and blood, right?

But because he was mentally challenged, was he unworthy of being a part of the York’s family tree?

Was he

not even worthy enough to get a name?

Melanie looked at the boy’s pure, kind eyes, looked at how gently he looked at the stray cat in the

room… She refused to believe that he was the one that poisoned the dog.

But her arrival made the woman unsure of how to take care of the boy with her around. She decided

not to stay any longer. She grabbed some cash from her purse and gave it to the woman before

leaving, telling her to give some food to the boy.

The woman couldn’t refuse and looked at Melanie with sincerity, saying, “Master Harlow had

completely ignored him. Now, everyone is obeying the words of Ms. Anderson. She refused to let

anyone treat his wounds and even stopped me from leaving as she was worried that I would call for a

doctor. I couldn’t even throw



rubbish into the bin outside… Everyone in the household accepts this… So… Miss, about the two of us

and

especially his identity… The less you know, the better…”

“His identity? Isn’t he your son? What else is there for me to know?”

Melanie gave her a smile before leaving.

When she reached the door, she suddenly smelled the scent of some herbal medicine. She looked at

the pot on the table and blinked. “Is this his medicine?”

“Yes. I have been making it for him every day for two years now. The doctor said it helps with his brain

development,” the woman explained.

Melanie paused for a while before saying, “Stop taking the medicine.”

+

“Why?”

“For his own good, if you trust me.” With that, Melanie turned around and left.

The herbal brew did have herbal medicine that would be great for improving mental development, but

when it came to herbal medicine, they reacted to each other differently. Every herbal medicine had to

be balanced by another one to achieve harmony. However, she could smell something unnecessary

inside: Crimson Tear.

Crimson Tear could be used as medicine when used in a suitable amount as it was also a medicine

with sedative properties. However, not only was there no other herbal medicine to balance it, the

amount was also quite large.



The boy was only ten. Even if he took a little each day, it was useless for him to take any more

medicine to

No wonder he was so skinny, just like that stray cat he had.

When Melanie got back to the hotel, Annie then scanned her in worry. “Are you hurt? Do you feel any

pain?”

Melanie shook her head.

“I heard everything. I knew that this party was a trap!” Annie said indignantly. “Good thing that Jeffrey

was around. At least he still has some use!”

When she mentioned Jeffrey, Melanie could feel her chest feeling stuffy, so she immediately changed

the subject. She then told Annie about the assassin’s background information. Annie nodded. “My

private investigators also came up with the same results. It looks like that is what had happened. If it

wasn’t because of the evidence, I’d have even suspected that the Yorks wanted to kill you.”

“The Yorks have no reason to want to kill me.” Melanie said.

She suddenly frowned and said, “That said, I don’t understand why the Yorks are treating me so well…”

“Isn’t Leo courting you right now?” Annie asked.
