However, both Beatrice and Cedric were already too old to go into the forest and search for Melody. They had no choice but to wait outside.

"Miss Thalia? Miss Thalia, are you here?"

Thalia did not expect to hear Melody's voice. She frowned with annoyance.

'What's that stupid woman doing here? I don't want her to find me! She's just putting on a show for Lucas! Does she think I won't be able to see through her facade?'

However, the next moment, Melody shone her flashlight directly on Thalia's face.

Thalia immediately shut her eyes and covered her mouth, afraid to make a sound.

'Damn it!'

"Miss Thalia, are you here? If there's any misunderstanding, let's sit down and talk it through. It's dangerous to stay here in the forest!

"Miss Thalia, can you hear me? Come out!"

'Ha! There's no misunderstanding between us. Only one of us is staying by Lucas' side, and that's going to be me!'

Thalia felt disgusted as she watched on as Melody pretended to be worried about her.

'Melody is an actress, alright. She maintains her act even when no one is around. She's truly fit to be the actress of the year!'

"Miss Thalia! Miss Thalia!"

'Ugh, my name isn't for the likes of you to call!' Thalia thought bitterly.

It would be best to get out of there quickly. Lucas might be coming back soon, and she was waiting to be alone with him. What was Melody doing there anyway?

"Ah!"

Melody accidentally stumbled over a vine and fell to the ground. She gasped sharply and clutched her wrist in pain.

Thalia frowned. She had prepared to put up an act of tripping and getting hurt for Lucas later, yet Melody beat her to it!

Melody was in so much pain, but there was no one around to help her up. She had to carefully climb to her feet after the pain subsided a bit.

Unfortunately, her foot could not touch the ground; it hurt too much when she tried. Melody gingerly touched her ankle. It would be manageable if it was just a sprain, but she feared it might be broken. That would also mean she would have to delay going back to filming.

Melody hopped to the tree nearby and leaned against it to take off some of the pressure.

Suddenly, she heard Lucas' voice coming from the forest.

"Thalia! Thalia-"

Melody's face lit up with joy as she looked toward the direction of the voice. She was about to respond when she heard a noise from the area she had just searched.

Thalia emerged from the bush and rushed straight toward Lucas.

'So she's been here all along! Why didn't she respond when I called out to her?' thought Melody with a frown. The throbbing pain in her foot prevented her from running over. She could only wait for them to come back. Lucas stopped in the spot where Melody's flashlight was shining, and Thalia threw herself into his arms.
