The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2243

To her surprise, a knock echoed on the ward's door. Melody's eyes widened as she gazed at the man who entered her room. "Sherman?" Melody asked.

Sherman had not expected Melody to be awake. He swiftly approached the hospital bed and placed a pillow behind her head for her added comfort. With a chuckle, he asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem overly thrilled to see me."

Melody smiled. "That's not it. You're welcome here, of course. I just didn't expect you to visit. It's a pleasant surprise."

The smile faded from Sherman's face in an instant. He reached out to tuck a strand of Melody's hair behind her ear, but he immediately withdrew it and sighed deeply. Melody blinked and was puzzled by his sudden change in demeanor.

"What's the matter? Are things not going well at the company?" Melody asked.

Sherman shook his head. "The company has received several large projects recently, and we've already achieved a lot of positive results for the second half of the year."

Melody became even more perplexed. If everything was going well for the company, then he should not have any reason to frown.

"You must be curious about why I'm frowning," Sherman said.

"That's because I'm worried about you. You've been plagued with endless troubles ever since you entered the industry. I'm starting to find it hard to bear, too. I hope you don't mind me asking you this-have you ever considered leaving the industry?"

Melody was taken aback. She did not expect Sherman to express such genuine concern for her, and she felt conflicted as a result. However, Melody had a few words to say when it came to the career she loved so much.

"Issues like this don't pop up that often. It's just..."

"What do you mean, it doesn't pop up that often? You've been slandered, framed, and nearly lost your life! Is this career truly worth risking your life for?

"Don't answer me right now. I understand that I'm just your senior, and I'm not that important a person in your life, but stop for a moment and ask yourself where's Lucas? Where are his grandparents? What is their opinion on this?"

Melody hesitated despite wanting to blurt out her determination to press on. Sherman's mention of Lucas and Lucas's grandparents had struck a chord. Their concern for her, which stemmed from her association with showbiz, made her feel rather unsettled because the old couple cared more about her than her own family.

"I don't want you to give up on this industry either, but I feel sorry for you. It pains me to see all these things happen to you time and time again. Aren't there other behind-the-scenes roles in showbiz? Working in these positions might spare you from all those life-threatening situations."

Melody kept quiet. She understood Sherman's intentions, but it was simply too difficult for her to entertain the prospect of abandoning her passion.
