Actually, when Melody moved out, she was already prepared to distance herself from Lucas gradually. However, she still felt immense pain when she saw the intimate photo of him and Thalia.

It turned out that love, or lack thereof, really had nothing to do with rationality. Her rationality told her to wake up and maintain a simple contractual relationship with Lucas. However, she watched helplessly as the balance of her emotions tilted toward Lucas.

'Does it mean I still like him, seeing as I'm hurting now because of him? If only I could be as heartless as him. He simply just faked concern for me when I said I wanted to move out while quickly becoming intimate with another woman. At the end of the day, I met Lucas later than Thalia, so maybe they were already close to start with,' thought Melody.

There was a shoot the next morning. Monica knocked on Melody's door to ask if she would like to have breakfast together. However, she was startled by how Melody looked as soon as the door was opened. "Oh! What happened to your eyes? Why are they so swollen? Even if there's a crying scene today, there's no need to stay up all night and have them swollen like this."

Melody forced a smile, avoiding Monica's scrutinizing gaze. Perhaps Monica did not mean any harm, but Melody felt uncomfortable by the way she was looking at her. She did not want Monica to know that she had spent half the night tossing and turning, unable to sleep because of a man.

Later on, she was just too exhausted to even know what time she fell asleep. When Monica knocked on the door, she was startled awake, feeling utterly drained.

"Maybe it's just that I'm not used to the bed in this dormitory, but it's okay since there's a crying scene today, so it doesn't matter if I look like this."

Monica still looked concerned, but she could tell that Melody did not want to talk about it. She vaguely sensed that it probably was not an issue with the bed in the dormitory. Otherwise, how did Melody sleep fine the past couple of days? Monica just did know what had happened to her.

Melody lived alone in the dormitory, and without Lucas around, she could not help but look pitiful. She hopped around with the crutches, unwilling to let Monica or the others accompany her.

With that in mind, Monica felt even more convinced that she should send Lucas a message. Otherwise, leaving Melody alone there was just too heart-wrenching.

"But your eyes should look normal before the crying scene. Mister Shaun will definitely have something to say when he sees you like this later."

Melody forced a smile and closed the door before heading downstairs with Monica to have breakfast. Just as Monica predicted, when Shaun saw Melody looking like she had stayed up all night, he was immediately displeased. After all, the scene that day was very important, so how was Melody going to shoot looking like that?

"Melody, come over here. I need to talk to you."

Melody felt like she was back in school, being called by the head teacher for a scolding. Monica looked over at her worriedly. She then immediately composed a message to Lucas and sent it.

Lucas was rubbing his forehead when he saw the message. He had no idea how he fell asleep in the study. When he woke up in the morning, he felt stiffness in his shoulders and back. Upon closer inspection, he realized he had fallen asleep on the sofa, which was quite strange.

In fact, his work had not been too busy. He only remembered needing to handle another document after finishing his milk, but suddenly, he lost consciousness.
