The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2531

"Anyone would have suspected you're somehow involved in the incident from the way you were speaking! There's no one here apart from me, so Thalia, answer me, do you or do you not have anything to do with Grandma Beatrice's fall? How did she suddenly fall down the stairs? Did you push her?"

Thalia's expression changed drastically. She glared at Quinn and exclaimed, "Quinn, have you lost your mind? Even if I did something wrong to my sister back then, that's in the past! Do you really think every accident in this world has something to do with me? Why would I push Grandma Beatrice? She's Lucas' grandmother, and I wanted nothing more than to please her. Haven't you seen me being all submissive towards her?"

As she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened and welled up with tears, making her look extremely pitiful.

"I know I've done things in the past that hurt my loved ones. You don't understand me, and I'm not willing to talk about it with anyone else. But can you please stop thinking of me as a murderer? I also want to live the rest of my life well. Do I not deserve a second chance after making a mistake? Besides, she's Lucas' grandmother, so how could I do that? I'm not stupid. What could I gain by pushing her down the stairs?

"She'll just accuse me of being the culprit if she's not hurt. Moreover, you know very well she's always been so disdainful towards me and looking down on me. Why do you still doubt me like this? At the end of the day, you must not see me as your true friend to distrust me like this."

Quinn was very conflicted. "It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that you have a history. Moreover, Beatrice looks down on you so much, could you have acted out of anger and pushed her? You have to understand, she's the grandmother of the man you love the most, and she might be more important to him than anyone else. If you harmed her, it would truly sever the bond between you and him. If it was really you, we'd go back and apologize to them now. Maybe there's still a chance to salvage things, if..."

Thalia pushed her away angrily. "Enough! You're already questioning me as if I'm a suspect. Now I understand, no matter how much I explain, it's useless if you don't believe me. Fine, if you doubt me, then go find evidence. I'll admit to pushing Grandma Beatrice down if you can find evidence. But until then, please stop tarnishing my name. I'm a living, breathing person too! It's not just you who feels aggrieved, I do too."

After Thalia left, only Quinn's words lingered in the wind, gradually dissipating. "That was clearly where our disagreement happened. Hopefully, I'm just overthinking it!" Quinn sighed and followed after her.

Meanwhile, after settling everything at home, Melody and Lucas went straight to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital and saw Cedric, he looked ten years older. "Sorry for coming late, Grandpa."

"Oh, you're here. It's been a long day. Are you tired?" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Cedric looked at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Since their relationship was stable, he felt as if he could let go and leave without any regrets.
