"Lucas! Where are you going?"Thalia chased after Lucas, but she failed to keep him in the end. She stomped as she watched him get further away from her.The influence Melody had on Lucas was not to be underestimated....Melody closed her eyes and pulled the blanket over herself. In this confined space, she finally found some sense of security.'Forget it, I might as well pretend none of this happened. Those heart-pounding moments were like a dream, and forgetting everything will be the best choice,' thought Melody to herself.All of a sudden, the blanket over her head was lifted."Are you out of your mind? Do you want to suffocate yourself?"Melody's pupils shrank. She could not understand why Lucas suddenly returned. Her eyes darted around at realizing he had caught her in a sorry state."Why are you back? Weren't you supposed to accompany Thalia home?"Lucas did not know how to answer Melody's question. He could not bear to leave Melody alone in the hospital, even though

After the particular incident, Thalia had spent some time with Beatrice, and she found it difficult to get along with her. Beatrice even commented that she had changed. The comment unsettled Thalia for many years, prompting her to escape abroad after only a few days in the city.After all these years, returning home still brought a sense of unease. Somehow, she had a gut feeling that it would still be challenging to get along with Beatrice.Seeing Thalia genuinely nervous, Lucas suggested postponing the visit.Thalia forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Grandpa and Grandma will be happier if I visit them as soon as I land. Otherwise, it might seem impolite. Besides, I just got back, and I don't know where to stay. So can I stay at your place for now?"Thalia wanted to see how Lucas and Melody lived together. She hoped to understand, through these subtle clues, just how important Melody was to Lucas.Lucas fell into a thoughtful silence, seemingly hesitant, at Thalia's request to s

Thalia maintained a respectful smile on her face and said, "It's nothing. Lucas has been taking care of me for so many years, so taking care of you and Grandpa on his behalf is just the right thing to do! Lucas, you can go now."Beatrice was somewhat displeased at the mention of Lucas having taken care of Thalia for so many years. It was not that she thought Lucas should not take care of the sister of the person who saved his life, but she did not think it should be done in this way.Despite the intricate connection between Thalia's sister and Lucas in the past, they always believed that repaying the favor was enough, and there was no need to involve more personal feelings.However, over the years, Lucas kept flying to Molomia, despite them trying to stop him. Their real concern was what if Thalia had feelings that she should not have for Lucas? What should Lucas do then?'Now that Melody and Lucas have finally settled down and are about to start their life as a newlywed, why would

When Melody woke up, she noticed someone was holding her hand, and she was no longer sleeping in a curled-up position.Although there was a separate bed in the VIP ward for Lucas to rest, he decided to simply hold her hand and sleep by her bedside after seeing her sleep so restlessly during the second half of the night.When Melody stirred, Lucas woke up too. "Are you awake? Are you hungry? Shall I buy you some breakfast?"Melody shook her head. She was not very hungry, just a tad confused about why Lucas would be in her hospital room."Shouldn't you be accompanying Miss Thalia since she just got back to the country?""You're right. As a host, I should entertain her, but you're my priority. Don't worry. She'll be fine since Grandpa and Grandma are at home."Melody felt resentful. She did not understand why, just when she had resolved not to have a one-sided love for Lucas anymore, he would once again cause her heart to waver by being so gentle and thoughtful.Lucas did not think

"Do you know there have been rumors in the crew lately about changing the lead role because you won't come back to act?" asked Monica.Melody's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? When did I say I won't go back? I'm just taking a break now. Once I'm feeling better, I'll naturally return to the set."She had worried before about Shaun considering replacing her as the female lead."Someone gave an ultimatum to Mister Shaun after the last incident. Since then, everyone has been saying you won't come back," Monica explained.Monica pursed her lips, and Melody immediately guessed who she was talking about. It was Lucas for sure.Penny felt uneasy about Monica casually speaking ill of Lucas. What if Melody took offense and they ended up falling out over it?Penny had learned to avoid such thankless situations—'just do not listen, do not interfere, and do not ask.'Monica, however, did not have as many reservations. She believed Melody would not be the kind of person to be influ
