The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2388

"Lucas, don't forget who you're married to. Have you ever considered Melody's feelings when you cared so much about another woman? Don't say I didn't warn you. You won't be able to win her back if this continues."

"Grandma, let's not discuss this over the phone. I've thought about what you're saying." Lucas' tone sounded somewhat irritated.

He had decided to arrange for Thalia to stay in another place since both Cedric and Beatrice did not want her staying in the mansion. Considering how Thalia's family fell apart after Claudia saved him, he could not just leave her alone.

"Do you think you can hide things from me just because you're all grown up? Have your grandpa and I spoiled you for nothing? Fine, just bring Melody home tomorrow, and we'll talk everything out face to face."

Lucas nodded. "After I settle things here with Thalia tomorrow morning, I'll bring Melody back home."

Even if Lucas did not believe Melody was responsible for pushing Thalia, there was no way she was not involved in one way or another.

Lucas sighed as he looked at Thalia lying pitifully on the hospital bed. "I hope everything goes well from now on."

In the dead of night, Melody was jolted awake by a nightmare. Lucas' cold gaze, indifferent and piercing, struck her once again, pulling her out of her sleep.

"Ugh..."

Melody sat up, drenched in sweat, her chest heaving. In the nightmare, Lucas continued to speak to her in that icy tone, "I knew you didn't like Thalia, but I never thought you could be so cruel. I misjudged you."

Whenever Melody tried to defend herself, her mouth was sealed shut, and she could only watch as Lucas repeated those words to her over and over again while she struggled helplessly.

She woke from her nightmare in anguish.

'It's okay. Nightmares are always the opposite of reality,' she tried to console herself.

She would explain everything to Lucas the next day, and she trusted he would understand.

'Yes, he would surely believe me...'

Even though Melody silently encouraged herself, deep down, she did not truly believe that Lucas would choose to believe her over Thalia. However, she had no other choice. Besides making Lucas believe she did not do it, she could not find any other evidence.

However, Melody had not anticipated the magnitude of the situation. She also had not realized there was another person in the bathroom at that time.

The woman heard their argument and emerged from the stall just in time to see Thalia collapse. The woman had even recorded the incident and posted it online.

[Oh my, this actress really knows how to cause trouble! Just when she managed to defend herself not long ago, now this happens. I wonder how her fans will defend her now. Will they still dare to claim she's not a bully?]

The poster only captured a photo of Thalia lying on the ground while Melody stood nearby, leaning on her crutches, showing no intention of helping her. Some comments criticized the poster for seeking attention.

[How could Melody, who is already using a crutch, bend down to help someone lying on the ground? Haven't we learned enough from the last incident? Are we going to defame her again until she has no choice but to clarify on the matter?]

Melody's fans, on the other hand, remained calm. Many of them had met her offline and knew how gentle she was. They understood that while the photo might depict Melody appearing indifferent, they could also see the panic in her eyes.
