The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2232

Melody did not remain unconscious for a long time. However, during the two-or-so hours she was out of it, every minute and every second made Lucas feel like an eternity. Lucas flew back from abroad, working tirelessly for several days. Exhausted, he rushed to the hospital and found himself dozing off by her bedside while holding her hand. That way, Lucas immediately sensed when Melody was waking up.

"Mmm..." Melody's fingertips twitched, and Lucas, feeling the activity, sat up straight.

"Are you awake?"

Melody's brow furrowed as if she was in a great deal of pain. "Mm..."

Melody moaned softly, and Lucas became even more concerned. He could hardly imagine how terrifying it must be for someone to face the agony of drowning. Melody's eyeballs moved, and she blinked her eyes open.

Her gaze fell on a sea of white, and she struggled to make sense of where she was. Then, she heard the familiar voice of a man beside her.

"Melody...you're awake. Are you feeling any pain?"

Lucas' eyes were bloodshot, a detail that Melody noticed as soon as she made eye contact with him.

"Why are you back? Where... Where am I?" Melody asked.

"This is the hospital. You were unconscious after drowning. You just woke up. Do you feel any discomfort?" Lucas replied.

Melody was still a bit dazed. She wanted to shake her head to assure him that she was fine, but as soon as she did, she realized she was very lightheaded. Noticing her furrowed brow, Lucas immediately stopped her from moving. "Don't move. You just woke up. Wait here. I'll go get the doctor to examine you," he said.

Melody blinked slowly to indicate that she understood, and Lucas hurriedly left to find the doctor.

The doctor arrived promptly, considering Lucas had arranged for Melody to be transferred to a VIP room.

Melody had her own dedicated medical team, including a doctor and a nurse who could be summoned whenever she needed assistance.

After a thorough examination, the doctor turned to Lucas and reassured them both, "Mister Lucas, there's nothing to worry about. Your wife is doing fine. She just needs some good rest. Both physically and mentally. It'll take some time for her to recover fully."

"Are you sure about that? She looks like she's in a great deal of pain. Could there be any lingering effects?" Lucas asked. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The doctor smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, Mister Lucas. I can assure you your wife is fine. We've checked when she was first brought in, and we'll schedule a detailed full-body examination for her in two day's time when she has recovered a little.

"Right now, what she needs most is rest. It won't do her any good if we examine her right now. In fact, it might harm her further."

Lucas nodded after the doctor's detailed explanation, finally feeling reassured.

After the doctor left, Lucas sat on the chair and gently took Melody's hands in his. "Do you know you almost scared me to death?"

His voice never sounded so mellow and deep before. Melody never heard him speak to her in such a tone.

Melody instinctively wanted to apologize when she saw how exhausted he was. "I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble again..."

Lucas rested his forehead against Melody's hand and gently rubbed it. "What are you apologizing for? What trouble have you caused? You haven't done anything wrong. You were scared too, weren't you?" Lucas smiled faintly at Melody.

Melody felt her eyes becoming increasingly wet, and eventually, she could not hold back her tears.
