The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2569

"Thalia, dare you swear you have nothing to do with Melody's kidnapping?" asked Lucas.

Thalia scoffed and took a step back. "Lucas, you're crazy. I know you're upset about Melody getting hurt, but someone else is responsible for that! Why don't you go find that culprit? Why are you interrogating me? Do all those years of friendship mean nothing to you? How can you not trust me at all?

"Just think about it. If you were me, would you have willingly chosen today to visit Grandma Beatrice if I knew this were to happen? Don't you think this is me putting the evidence right into your hands?" Thalia's mind raced as she struggled to come up with any reason to absolve herself of suspicion.

Lucas frowned slightly upon hearing what Thalia said, and his gaze became distant. "Is that so? You'd better not be lying to me! You should know I don't want you involved in this, which is why I came to confirm with you."

Thalia breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had started to believe her. "Okay... But do you know how much your questioning hurt me just now?"

"I guess I was just worried and confused. Melody still hasn't come out of the emergency room, and too much has happened during this time. I'm sorry."

Thalia sighed. "Forget it. What else can I do besides forgiving you? After all, we've been good friends for so many years, and I understand your feelings. By the way, how is Melody doing now? Is she okay? How did she get kidnapped again? The kidnappers didn't hurt her, did they?"

Lucas shook his head. "It was a good thing the kidnappers just wanted money. Melody suffered some minor injuries, but she still hasn't woken up yet. She probably had too much of a shock.

"Is that so?" Thalia asked. She had instructed Wendy to capture Melody and upload those photos and videos online so that Melody could never recover from the humiliation. She had not expected Wendy to get distracted by money and mess up such a simple task. The disappointment was evident on Thalia's face.

"What's wrong? You don't seem happy to hear she's okay," said Lucas.

Thalia snapped out of her thoughts

and put on an exaggerated smile.

"Of course not!" She waved

dismissively. "Although my relationship with Melody isn't the best, she's someone you care about, so of course I want her to be okay."

Lucas took in all of Thalia's expressions. "By the way, do you still have the photos you left under our bedroom pillow last time? It's been so many years, and sometimes I feel a bit nostalgic about your sister."

Thalia was taken aback, unsure of e why Lucas would bring up her sister. Even

Phough she had placed those

under Melody's pillow before,

he had not questioned her about it.

'Why is he asking about it now?' she wondered.

"I... I don't have them anymore. I don't have any other photos of my sister with me," Thalia said, lowering her head, slightly puzzled.

"Is that so? If you still have them, could you give me one? I'd like to keep it," Lucas requested.

Thalia shook her head repeatedly. "I really don't have any of the old photos. I might've lost them when I moved abroad."

"Yeah..."
