The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2278

When Melody woke up, she noticed someone was holding her hand, and she was no longer sleeping in a curled-up position.

Although there was a separate bed in the VIP ward for Lucas to rest, he decided to simply hold her hand and sleep by her bedside after seeing her sleep so restlessly during the second half of the night. When Melody stirred, Lucas woke up too. "Are you awake? Are you hungry? Shall I buy you some breakfast?"

Melody shook her head. She was not very hungry, just a tad confused about why Lucas would be in her hospital room.

"Shouldn't you be accompanying Miss Thalia since she just got back to the country?"

"You're right. As a host, I should entertain her, but you're my priority. Don't worry. She'll be fine since Grandpa and Grandma are at home."

Melody felt resentful. She did not understand why, just when she had resolved not to have a one-sided love for Lucas anymore, he would once again cause her heart to waver by being so gentle and thoughtful Lucas did not think too much about it. Since his conversation with Patty, he felt that he should spend more time with Melody. Thus, he not only brought work with him but also spent all twenty-four hours of the day with her, except when he had to go out to buy food for Melody.

"Yesterday, I came in a hurry and forgot to ask Lynette to prepare meals for you. You like the food made by Lynette the most, right? Tonight, I'll make a quick trip home and have her prepare everything in advance. Starting tomorrow, Edmund will deliver all three meals here."

Melody looked at him with faint concern. 'Won't that be too much trouble for him?'

"You have so much going on at work, and I'm already feeling much better. You don't have to stay with me in the ward all the time," said Melody.

Lucas did not lift his head upon hearing her words; he continued to place food in her bowl. "Don't worry. I can still do my work from here. There's always a priority, and right now, you're the top priority." Undeniably, hearing him say that made Melody feel warm inside. 'So I do mean something to him after all!'

"As long as it doesn't affect your work," she replied.

After breakfast, Melody laid on the hospital bed to rest, occasionally picking up a book to pass the time.

Lucas set up his office across from her, making it convenient for him to keep an eye on her. He would be able to notice it promptly if she felt any discomfort.

After a while, two unexpected guests arrived.

Knock, knock, knock!

Melody looked at Lucas. She had no idea who else would visit her. The most likely scenario was Edmund coming to deliver documents to Lucas again. Every time she saw the towering stack of papers on his desk, Melody could not help but feel a pang of anxiety. Being a president of a company was no easy task indeed.

"Please come in."

Unexpectedly, the visitors were Penny and Monica. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Melody had a good relationship with Monica on the set. Monica had bravely spoken up for her back when she was wrongly accused, which Melody deeply appreciated.

As for Penny, Lucas had mentioned that she played a crucial role as a key witness to Melody's drowning.

Melody truly did not know how to thank these two girls. When they entered, she struggled to get up. Lucas stood and placed several soft pillows behind her so she could talk comfortably.

Seeing that he was the only man there, he used the excuse of buying drinks and left to give them some private space.

As soon as Lucas left, Monica returned to her lively self. She casually sat beside Melody's bed and held her hand. "Melody, how are you feeling? Do you still feel any discomfort?"
