The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2246

Lucas was simmering with anger. Sherman's intentions were glaringly transparent, and he doubted that Melody could not sense what was going on.

"I view him as just a male friend who shows concern for me from time to time. There's nothing wrong with that. Or are you suggesting that I don't deserve anyone else's care and concern?" Melody's lips were pallid, and her discomfort was apparent. Though she was still unwell, she still mustered the strength to dispute with Lucas.

Lucas noticed her straining and initially refrained from arguing with her, but Melody's unwavering defense of Sherman left him feeling incredibly uneasy.

"Do you think defending him is going to prove anything? That's enough. I'm in no mood to argue right now. You should rest," he said before leaving the ward.

Melody felt alone and suffocated. Distressed and aggrieved, Melody could not understand why they had to quarrel over such insignificant things as soon as they met.

She longed for Lucas' company, and he seemed to feel the same way from how hastily he packed his stuff from home to come and see her. She wondered what it was that made it so difficult for them to sit down and have a proper conversation. Good communication could have prevented them from so many misunderstandings.

Once outside, Lucas sought out the nurse to find the doctor and Patty. "She seems to be a bit weak. Could you please check on her?"

Patty observed Lucas' stern expression and deduced that he was clearly agitated after an argument. Their office was very close to Melody's ward, and they heard the commotion within.

It was rather obvious that he cared deeply for Melody and had rushed home to pack. Even his tie was crooked. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

There was no reason to argue at a time like that, and the doctor had advised against upsetting Melody's mood.

Lucas' eyes narrowed. "I apologize. I won't do it again."

"Apologizing to me isn't going to change a thing. You should be apologizing to the lady in the ward."

Lucas did not nod but simply urged the doctor and Patty to conduct the checkup. Alone outside the ward, he waited until the doctor confirmed that everything was all right before leaving somewhat hesitantly. He headed directly to Melody's film set where Shaun and the producer were discussing ways to resolve the situation. Lucas' presence startled them.

"Mister Lucas!"

The atmosphere seemed to drop as soon as Lucas entered, and he was immediately ushered to the main seat.

"How's the investigation progressing?" Lucas asked.

"There hasn't been any progress yet," the producer said. "A lot of people have had disputes with Melody before, and if there aren't any witnesses or suspects, finding out who did it will be like searching for a needle in a haystack."

Lucas tapped on the table without an immediate response.

"That means you have no further information for me then," he finally remarked.

Shaun then said, "I'm sorry, we-"

"Save your breath. I don't want to hear your apologies," Lucas waved his hand. "If you can't get this matter done, then don't get in the way of what I'm about to do."

"But sir, we're all members of the crew here," Shaun protested. "Melody would want all our scenes to proceed safely in the future, and-"
