The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2083

"It's quite a long distance from here to the hospital, so it'll take some time for the ambulance to arrive. Lucas, why not have Sherman take Melody back? Do you want to see me pass out from the pain? Lucas..."

Lucas' frown deepened.

"Lucas, Miss Stella looks like she's really in a lot of pain. You should take her to the hospital. Don't worry, I'll make sure Melody gets safely back to her set," advised Sherman.

Stella pretended to plead, "Ah... Melody, I beg you. Considering how much pain I'm in, please let Lucas give me a ride this time. Aren't we friends? You can't just stand by and do nothing..." Seeing her curled up like a shrimp, Melody-fearing that something might really happen-nodded to indicate that she had no objection.

Lucas then said, "Let Edm-"

"I'm going with Sherman," said Melody.

Even though Lucas' expression did not change much, Melody could still sense his annoyance when he swept his cold, stern gaze quickly across her face.

'Is he irritated that I've chosen Sherman?' she wondered.

Melody did not understand why he was angry. Did she make a mistake in agreeing to let him take his childhood sweetheart to the hospital?

'Why is he looking at me like that when I've made the best decision for him? After all, in the end, he'd choose Stella anyway,' thought Melody.

Unable to understand the emotions in Lucas' eyes, Melody grabbed her bag and left with Sherman.

"Let's go. I need to get back to the film set," she said.

Lucas' face darkened considerably, and Stella could not help but avoid his gaze.

"They've already left, Lucas. Can you take me to the hospital?" She held onto Lucas' sleeve with one hand while the other continued to cover her abdomen. She looked like she was genuinely in pain. "Have Edmund drive you to the hospital since you don't need an ambulance and just require my car."

In less than 10 minutes, Edmund arrived, looking a bit harried with his hair in disarray.

"I'll leave Stella to you," said Lucas coldly.

Edmund nodded. "Yes, I'll make sure to take Miss Stella to the hospital safely."

"Melody? Melody?"

"Huh? What? Did you call me, Sherman?" Melody suddenly snapped back to reality, meeting Sherman's inquisitive gaze.

"I've called you several times, and you didn't hear me. What were you thinking about?"

"Sorry, I was just lost in thought," replied Melody with a forced smile.

"Are you unwell? You barely ate anything just now."

Melody shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just a bit tired maybe."

Sherman started the car. "As long as you're not sick. You don't seem to be in great spirits, though."

She touched her cheek. "Really? Mister Shaun even complimented me on my good complexion this morning." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Your mood is written all over your face. You don't want me to take you back, do you?" asked Sherman jokingly. Melody had no idea that he was probing her.

"Oh no. It's all the same to me who sends me back. It's just hitching a ride after all."

Sherman casually spun the steering wheel with one hand, his movements graceful and practiced. "If it's really the same, you wouldn't be feeling so out of it right now. Why did you push your husband to another woman? Nobody could be that generous."
