The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2114

Lucas did not look like an ordinary person. He was tall with a commanding presence. Heck, he even dared to infiltrate the thugs' lair alone. In other words, he possessed a courage far beyond the ordinary. "Yo, did you wander into the wrong place?" The guy with the buzzcut swung his knife, adopting a threatening stance against Lucas.

They were all prepared for a fight, thinking that they could easily handle the intruder together.

Lucas smiled coldly. "Get lost."

"What did you say? You want us to get lost?" questioned the blonde angrily, but several fully armed police officers appeared from another direction!

"Stay where you are! Drop your weapons, and put your hands on your head!"

The thugs were used to bluffing. They had never encountered such a massive show of force before.

The blonde instinctively followed the officers' commands. Frightened, the guy with the buzzcut tried to escape but was swiftly subdued by the incoming police officers. He ended up tightly bound on the ground, unable to move.

"Ugh... Ah!"

Only after confirming that all the thugs were restrained did Lucas cautiously approach and carefully untie Melody's hands and feet.

Melody, still in shock, instinctively embraced him. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You came after all... Do you know how scared I was that you wouldn't come?" Melody's tears quickly dampened Lucas' neck.

Frowning, he apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry for being late."

Melody could not stop crying. As much as Lucas wanted to check if she was hurt anywhere, he found himself waiting motionlessly for her tears to dry.

His brain was filled with countless violent thoughts directed toward the three thugs. However, he did not have the luxury to care about anyone else as Melody was still trembling in his arms. Lucas took off his jacket and wrapped it around Melody before scooping her up.

"There, there. You're safe now. Let's go home."

Melody curled up in his clothes, smelling his familiar scent, which comforted her.

"Bring those b*stards to my place first. I'll deliver them to the station once I'm done with them," ordered Lucas.

The officers exchanged glances; they knew what Lucas was planning to do. Hearing the somewhat resigned tone from the commander in their earpieces, they reluctantly agreed.

"Mister Lucas, it seems there's another victim over there. What should we do with her?"

Finally, someone noticed Wendy lying on the ground. She looked at Lucas eagerly, hoping he would take her away too. Unfortunately, Lucas was entirely focused on Melody, and he did not even spare a glance for Wendy.

"I don't know her. Do with her however you see fit," he replied curtly.

Lucas' gaze felt almost tangible, exerting pressure that forced all the officers to lower their heads. Only when there were just Lucas and Melody in the car did Melody finally feel safe.

Lucas noticed two bright red handprints on Melody's cheek, and a wave of heartache swept over him.

He gently brushed his fingers over her cheeks, but even the light touch made Melody wince in pain.

"Bear with the pain for a bit. I'll apply some ointment on it first. Otherwise, they'll swell even more by the time we get home."

Lucas' voice was low and gentle, displaying an unusual tenderness.
