Patty felt a bit embarrassed. "While I did minor in psychology back then, all I can do is offer you some advice. It's best to consult a psychologist if you want a comprehensive treatment plan. This will benefit both you and Miss Melody."I truly think you should spend more time with Miss Melody. I'm not sure if you've realized it, but she tends to be more relaxed when you're around."'So, even though we often argue, she still prefers having me around?' thought Lucas."The fact that she's arguing with you means that she's willing to open herself up to you. The real problem lies in if she's unwilling to communicate with others to keep herself safe," said Patty as if answering his question.She might have kept her mouth shut if it were not for her previous communication with Melody. She could not bear to see a once cheerful actress like Melody turn into a silent and reserved person.As one of Melody's many fans, Patty wished Melody would get well soon, even if it meant she would no l

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

Melody smiled and shook her head. "I've gotten much better since waking up. I'm still in the hospital because the doctor says I need some rest. I feel like I could rest just as well at home, but they won't discharge me, so I've been staying here. I swear I'm all okay now, so you don't need to worry."Monica nodded in satisfaction. "You have no idea how scared I was when we heard about the accident. How could such an accident happen when you were assigned two safety personnel? Penny eventually sensed that something was wrong, and there were a series of unexpected events. We wanted to come and see you when everything was settled, but we thought you might still be recovering, which is why we only came today. Please don't be sad about this."Monica patted Melody's hand gently to comfort her.Penny was less lively than Monica since she was not that close to Melody. She was just a production assistant, and when Monica asked her to come along, she was initially hesitant.She was not acqua

"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

"Is this guy crazy? Did he really say, 'Feel free to come again'?" Monica rubbed her own goosebumps, while Penny smiled faintly.Penny somewhat understood Lucas' perspective. Perhaps when he said those words, it was all for Melody's sake. After all, Monica was good friends with Melody, and he likely wanted to maintain a cordial relationship with her.As they watched Monica and Penny flee, Melody smiled. When she locked eyes with Lucas, she could not resist blurting, "I have something to tell you…"Lucas stood there for a moment. They both knew what Melody wanted to say. Eventually, he walked over to her in silence."I…want to go back to filming after I've recovered," Melody said.She thought it would be challenging to bring the matter up to him, knowing that every incident not only affected her but also Lucas, Beatrice, Cedric, and others who cared about her.Melody did not want to keep causing them to worry. However, she could not suppress her genuine desire to act.Melody tigh

Lucas thought that Melody should act if she wanted to act. However, he would not allow a repeat of what happened.He was aware of the public backlash against Shaun's crew, but managing public opinion required patience. The most effective time to clarify things would be when public negativity peaked.Lucas had already planned ahead. He knew deep down that Melody would never give up acting.He went home to get some casual clothes for Melody. As he got out of the car, Thalia came running toward him."Lucas, you're back!" Thalia seemed to be in a good mood. She hugged his arm, wanting to walk inside together. However, Lucas calmly withdrew his arm."Lucas, you must be tired from taking care of Melody in the hospital," Thalia said."No, you stay here. I need to talk to Lynette about something."Thalia frowned, insisting on going with him. "What are you going to talk about? Can't I listen? Do you know how boring it is for me alone at home?"It was not a big deal, and she could certai

"I know I've caused you trouble, but I just wanted to come back. If it weren't for you, why would I fly back alone and wait at the chilly airport? But don't you worry, I won't trouble you anymore!"Thalia turned around and ran away.Lucas grew frustrated. Thalia was unfamiliar with the place, and letting her run around might lead to unforeseen accidents.Thus, he quickly ran up, grabbed her, and tried to comfort her."Fine, I shouldn't have said what I said. I don't find you troublesome at all. It's just that you said you were bored at home, so I was trying to come up with a solution. You should be having fun with your friends during your school break. Yet you're stuck here with Grandpa and Grandma. You can stay as long as you don't find it unbearable."Thalia listened to his explanation, sniffing. "Do you really mean what you say?"Lucas replied somewhat helplessly, "Yes. I swear.""I'm not getting in the way of you spending time with Melody, am I?"Lucas frowned, not understa
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2284
Just as Lucas was about to respond, Beatrice suddenly appeared downstairs, interrupting him.Beatrice walked over with a smile. "Lucas, why are you still here? Don't you have something to do? Don't let Melody wait in the hospital for too long. She's still a patient after all."Upon seeing the elderly woman approaching, Thalia understood that her plan might not work out. Even if Lucas was willing to agree, Beatrice would surely not allow her to go to Melody's film set.She turned and greeted Beatrice with a smile. "Hello, Grandma Beatrice."Beatrice, as if just noticing her, said, "Oh? You're here too?"She then looked at Lucas. "You must be back here for a reason. Why are you still standing here foolishly?"Lucas finally reacted. He quickly said to Thalia, "I need to check with Melody first to see if you can go to the film set. I'm afraid I can't make that decision on my own."Thalia's smile looked a bit forced. She had hoped to seize this opportunity to visit Melody's film set.

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
