The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 19: Melody? Or Nicole!

Melody’s hair was back to its rich dark brown color. She had carelessly cut her hair and wore sunglasses despite leaving in the middle of the night. She wore a jacket and a hoodie over her head.

From that night onwards, she was no longer Nicole Lively. She was back to being Melody Campbell.

She settled at the back of their car while her father, Thomas Campbell, drove to the exit of the private community.

This was their chance to escape.

“At least this time, with your hair changed back, they won’t look into you closely,” her father suggested.

True enough, when they arrived at the nearest checkpoint, presented with Melody’s old school ID, a mere birth certificate, the police did not look into the car closely. They simply asked Melody to roll down the car window, and seeing her dark–colored hair; the police returned to his post.

“I think they bought it,” Melody said nervously.

The officer who took their identification was speaking through a radio transceiver from a distance. After some time, the same officer approached their vehicle and returned their ID. He asked, “Why does Melody not have a valid ID?”

“We lost it when we arrived,” Thomas Campbell replied. “We are going to get her new ones.” “I see,” the police officer replied. “And where are you headed to at this night?”

“Um.. we are driving early to the next state,” Thomas replied. “We are meeting some friends there.”

Next, the police officer’s radio called him in. He had to step aside and exchange with whoever was commanding him. “Yes, sir. Got it.”

When he returned to Thomas and Melody, the police said, “You may now… leave.” He smiled, but to Thomas, the way the officer smiled appeared to have a meaning behind it.

Still, Thomas was relieved. He hurriedly drove off to the main road. “We got out. There may still be another checkpoint, but getting through the first meant Evan has not identified us.” “Oh, my god. We are going to get out, dad!” Melody was equally relieved that she was teary- eyed. “Wendell did not suspect us at all, and Evan, he – he was never able to connect me to my real identity!”

Melody still could not believe it. With Evan’s power, she thought Evan would have already learned! She exhaled, saying, “Luck is on our side.”

After making it a kilometer away from their neighborhood, Melody thought about Evan again. She inwardly said, ‘I’ll come back for you, Evan. When I do, I’ll be prettier, and I won’t make the same mistakes again.‘

The two of them drove for half an hour more, making their way to the middle of the city, when they encountered another inspection. This time, they were more confident. Yet again,
