The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2259

"It's not too late to turn back now. Your mother is still waiting for you to go back home," Shaun continued to persuade.

However, Roland's mind was fixed on the cash Lucas promised him and the escape route he had arranged. He had no intention of turning back.

"Save it. There's no turning back for me now. Maybe I'll be a better person in the next life."

He then charged toward Shaun and the others with the knife held high.

Lucas quickly ran toward him, and before Roland could react, he had already forced him to step back repeatedly.

In the process, Roland unintentionally loosened his grip on Penny's hand.

"You-"

Monica quickly ran over to catch Penny, while Shaun and the producer wasted no time rushing over to help Lucas.

Roland thought that Lucas was all bite and no bark, but before he could throw a punch, Lucas had already attacked his side. After a few punches, Roland was forced to retreat repeatedly, leaving him with no room for counterattacks.

"Ugh-"

Infuriated and ashamed, Roland swung his knife at Lucas while shouting, "All of you can just die! We'll all go down together!"

Lucas frowned, dodging a couple of times. He was about to kick away the knife when suddenly the seemingly weak Roland stabbed him in the abdomen.

"I'll never let you catch me..." Roland muttered.

Monica, watching from the side, was speechless. How could Roland be so spineless? Who would want to be with someone like him?

Lucas fell to the ground, and Shaun quickly rushed over with a frown.

Lucas' injuries were not too severe, and he managed to kick the knife far away. It was soon to be considered evidence.

Shaun could not fathom why a capable man like Roland would throw his life away like that.

"Are you working under Tracy's orders? I know you have no grudge against Penny. Did she put you up to this?" questioned Shaun. However, since he was captured, Roland suddenly played the role of a great lover, refusing to give out Tracy's name.

"I did all of this on my own. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me. She's innocent," he insisted.

Everyone was quite certain that Tracy was involved. Even if Roland did not reveal her name, they had a direction for their investigation.

Moreover, it was more important to get Penny to the hospital as she had been attacked for reasons related to secrets Tracy did not want to reveal.

That night, the mountaintop was bustling like never before. When Melody woke up, she saw Lucas slumped over her bed. His coat was in disarray and covered in mud, prompting her to wonder where he had been.

She gazed at Lucas who was sleeping somewhat uncomfortably but remarkably peaceful. She was reluctant to wake him up.

She could not help but think how nice it would be if they could always get along peacefully like this. She did not want to always be in opposition to Lucas if possible.

She clearly cared about him, so why did they have to quarrel? It would be so much better if Lucas could have a little more consideration for her feelings. Knock, knock, knock!

Lucas immediately woke up at the sound of someone knocking on the door.

Melody quickly closed her eyes, pretending she was still asleep.

Lucas opened the door and spoke softly to Patty outside, "Keep it down. She's still sleeping."

"Yes, Mister Lucas, but it's time for her morning blood examination. I need to draw a sample of her blood." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
