"Melody! Melody! Can you hear me? Where are you? I'm here to get you!"Melody was stunned. She then realized it was Lucas coming to find her. She quickly stood up and responded loudly.However, she forgot about her injured left foot. With a scream, she fell back to the ground."Ah!"Lucas was thrown into a panic by Melody's scream and rushed deeper into the forest. As he approached, he saw Melody lying in a sorry state on the ground."Where are you hurt?! Where does it hurt?"He gingerly took Melody's arms, trying to help her stand up, but Melody stumbled and ended up collapsing onto him."Ah!" Melody cried out in pain, but Lucas was able to cushion her fall. Otherwise, she might have twisted her wrist as well."Are you okay? Where are you hurt? Is it serious?" Lucas' concern was evident in his voice, but the more he asked, the quieter Melody became. The only sound coming from her was the tears streaming down her face.'He cares about me after all! Then why was he so harsh wit

Lucas had never thought of Melody as a cold person. After all, if she were truly cold, why would she come into the forest looking for him?Melody lifted her head, still teary-eyed, and locked eyes with him. "You got it wrong. I am a selfish and cold person. You mistook me for someone else! I am inherently selfish. In fact, I wouldn't mind if you and Thalia stayed in this forest forever!"Lucas knew she was just speaking out of anger, but he still worried about where she might be injured. He quickly got to his knees."Did you sprain your ankle? Did you get hurt somewhere else? Tell me, okay?" Lucas reached for the flashlight, shining it on Melody's body. She flinched slightly."Why are you worried about someone as selfish as me? You should just let me be. Even if I get injured or break my foot, it's none of your business!"Melody's words were clearly spoken in anger, so it was likely related to her foot. Lucas remained silent, focusing on examining her foot carefully."Does it hur

Upon hearing Melody's words, Lucas stopped in his tracks and lowered his head to apologize seriously. "I was wrong in this matter. I spoke out of turn and shouldn't have been so careless with my words. I'm sorry, I won't speak to you like that again."Meeting his sincere gaze, Melody's pent-up grievances surged. She bit her lip, her eyes moist, but she did not want to shed tears anymore."Forget it. As long as you know you were wrong, that's enough. It's clearly not my fault, but you immediately blamed me..."Melody's tears flowed down her cheeks onto Lucas' arm.Even though Lucas was wearing long sleeves, Melody's tears still stung him. He had not expected his inadvertent mistake would cause Melody so much pain, nor had he realized that Melody was not as carefree as she seemed on the surface, and that she harbored a lot of resentment and hardship inside. It was just that Melody was good at acting, so she never let others find out.Lucas stopped in his tracks, looked into Melody's

"Thalia, your foot is also injured. Let's go to the hospital together," Lucas suggested, realizing that Thalia had mentioned her foot was hurting as well earlier.However, with only one man present, and Cedric not being an option to carry her, they faced a dilemma.Beatrice intervened, advising Lucas to take Melody to the hospital first. "Thalia has been standing for quite some time just now, unlike Melody who can't even stand. Thalia's injury isn't probably that serious. There'll be plenty of young, strong guys from the search team who can carry her when they've returned."You should bring Melody to the hospital to get her checked out first. After all, she just got out of the hospital and shouldn't be going back in."Lucas looked to Thalia for her opinion, and although she forced a smile, she did not refuse the suggestion.She needed some time alone to figure out what to do next. Having lost the support of Beatrice and Cedric, she could not afford to let their animosity continue.

Raymond might not even have had the chance to work for the Riveras if it were not for his mother already working there as a cook. Thus, he was very grateful to the Riveras.He had heard his mother say many times about the difficult times when she was pregnant with him and was abandoned by his father.They might have ended up starving on the streets if Beatrice did not take them in.…Lucas drove Melody straight to the hospital, to the same VIP ward, with the same doctor. The doctor was just as surprised. Melody had not even been discharged for a day, yet she was back already.The doctor frowned when he saw the large swelling on Melody's foot as she lifted it."How did this happen? I'm really concerned as to how you're constantly getting injured, Missus Rivera. You really need to take care of your own body. Although you're young, you still need to take good care of yourself."Lucas frowned deeply when he saw the bruised area on Melody's otherwise pale skin. He had not noticed the e
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2319
"Ah!" Melody yelped when the doctor's hand moved near the swollen area.The doctor seemed relieved. "It looks like it's just a sprain, since there's no pain in the other areas. It's still safe for you to continue filming. However, you'll need a few days to recover from this sprain. Make sure not to aggravate the injury. Mister Lucas, you must ensure that your wife puts pressure on her left foot."Lucas nodded solemnly. He would not let Melody's condition worsen.After hearing that it was not a fracture, Melody sighed in relief. Being confined to bed at home for a few days was much better than resting for months.Later, they went to get an X-ray, and when Lucas went to get medicine for Melody, Thalia was finally brought over by Raymond.Raymond felt particularly unlucky that day, especially when he had to carry Thalia, who was not cooperating at all. She felt like a dead weight on his back. She would have fallen off if he did not hold onto her tightly.'Isn't this woman afraid of

After they left, the doctor complained to his colleague, "Oh my god, that woman is clearly crazy. She's not injured but insists she is. Who curses themselves like that?"His colleague consoled him, "Everyone's a bit not right in the head nowadays. If she has the money and there are no other patients, just let her do as she pleases."...When Lucas returned with the medicine and was about to carry Melody to the car, she suddenly said, "Miss Thalia is here. Do you want to go see her?"She looked at him calmly, as if she could accept whatever decision he made.Lucas looked at her quietly for a moment before asking, "Do you want me to see her?"Melody was not sure what Lucas meant by his question. When was it ever up to her to decide whether Lucas stayed or went?"If you don't want me to go, then I won't. Grandma has arranged for someone to accompany her..." Lucas began."I didn't say I don't want you to go," Melody interrupted. "If you're so concerned about Thalia, why not go chec

Thalia had just asked him to prescribe her two bottles of pain relief spray. How could the doctor be so foolish and miss out on earning money for nothing?The doctor, despite being glared at, remained unruffled. He simply lowered his head to avoid Thalia's gaze and kept saying, "If you're not sick, there's no need to come to the hospital. Although you paid, it's still a waste of medical resources, isn't it? Miss Thalia, you can leave with Mister Lucas now."Lucas lowered his gaze to hide his expression, but even Thalia could sense the icy chill emanating from him."Lucas, don't listen to this doctor's nonsense. My leg clearly hurts, but he insists there's no problem. He's an incompetent quack... Can we go to another hospital?" asked Thalia.She reached out to grab Lucas' clothes to continue pleading. However, Lucas stepped back, leaving Thalia's hand grasping at thin air."Leave now if you're not sick. Don't waste the doctor's time. There are plenty of other people who need medica

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
