The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2273

Unpredictably, someone who had shown kindness to her could turn out to be a ruthless murderer in the blink of an eye.

"Don't overthink it. The thoughts of a murderer aren't something you can comprehend. Just know that she's been detained by the police, and she will face legal consequences. After she's sentenced, you can return to the set. Otherwise, I worry there might be more unexpected incidents," said Lucas.

After a moment of silence, he tentatively continued, "Do you really want to continue filming this movie?"

In a short span, Melody had been asked this question twice by two different people, and she had been struggling with the answer.

When Sherman questioned her, she was more annoyed. However, when Lucas asked the same question, she finally had the answer in her heart. 'War Song' was her first movie, so naturally, she wanted to see it through to the end.

Yet, with so many incidents occurring consecutively on the set, she truly did not know if her perseverance was the right choice.

Melody sighed deeply; her gaze was complicated.

In the end, she told Lucas, "Give me some more time to think. If I really can't persist..."

Lucas nodded, preparing to get up and leave. "Alright, take your time. Thalia is waiting for me in the car. I'll go and drive her home first." Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Melody clenched her fists under the blanket. She avoided eye contact with Lucas and did not respond. After a while, she heard the sound of the door closing.

There was no sound in the empty hospital room, confirming that Lucas had indeed left. Melody felt a bitter taste in her heart. She knew she had no right to question why Thalia chose to come back at this critica moment.

There was no reason, seeing as Lucas had plenty of time to spend with both of them each year. She could not help but feel like she was the third wheel in that situation.

Lucas went to the parking lot but found no trace of Thalia in the car. "Thalia?"

'Where could she have gone when she doesn't know anywhere here?'

After wandering around the parking lot for a while, Lucas finally found Thalia curled up in a corner. When she saw him approaching, she looked up with an especially resentful expression. "Lucas, where did you go? I waited for you for so long, and you didn't come back..."

Lucas frowned, his expression complex. He had promised Thalia's late sister that he would take good care of Thalia, yet here she was, left alone in an unfamiliar place.

How could he face Thalia's dead sister if something had happened to Thalia?

Thalia rushed into his arms, pulling at Lucas' clothes with a helpless look.

Lucas patted her shoulder with a sigh. "Sorry, I won't leave you alone in the car next time."

Thalia flashed a triumphant smile at him when she heard that.

She knew that no matter how many women appeared in Lucas' life, she, Thalia, was the one he could not let go of the most.

Finally, Lucas drove Thalia home. However, the closer they got to the Riveras' residence, the more uneasy Thalia became.

Lucas, seeing her nervous demeanor, chuckled softly. "What's the matter? Are you afraid of Grandma? Don't worry, Grandma is older now, and her temper has improved a lot. She'll be happy to see you back." Thalia forced a smile. Lucas truly did not understand her fear of the old lady.
