The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2315

Lucas had never thought of Melody as a cold person. After all, if she were truly cold, why would she come into the forest looking for him?

Melody lifted her head, still teary-eyed, and locked eyes with him. "You got it wrong. I am a selfish and cold person. You mistook me for someone else! I am inherently selfish. In fact, I wouldn't mind if you and Thalia stayed in this forest forever!"

Lucas knew she was just speaking out of anger, but he still worried about where she might be injured. He quickly got to his knees.

"Did you sprain your ankle? Did you get hurt somewhere else? Tell me, okay?" Lucas reached for the flashlight, shining it on Melody's body. She flinched slightly.

"Why are you worried about someone as selfish as me? You should just let me be. Even if I get injured or break my foot, it's none of your business!"

Melody's words were clearly spoken in anger, so it was likely related to her foot. Lucas remained silent, focusing on examining her foot carefully.

"Does it hurt here?" He gently touched Melody's ankle.

Melody twisted away from his hand touching her ankle, saying, "It's none of your business."

"Then it's your left foot," Lucas concluded.

Sure enough, as soon as he touched Melody's left ankle, she hissed in pain.

"Is it serious? Did you twist it? I hope it's not something as serious as broken bones." Lucas supported Melody's lower body with his hands, exerting some force to lift her up. "Ah!" Melody exclaimed, feeling her cheeks flush with embarrassment. She had not expected Lucas to lift her up like that all of a sudden. After all, she was over 40 kilograms "What are you doing?"

After lifting her up, Lucas placed his coat on the ground and carefully sat Melody on top of it. "Let me check your ankle first. If it's not serious, I'll take you out," he said.

Melody frowned slightly and protested, "Why did you take your coat off? I just fell on the ground, and my pants are already dirty. Now you're going to catch a cold! But what do I care? After all, I'm a cold and selfish person."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lucas' lips. Melody's temper somehow amused him.

"Yes, I know you're a cold and selfish person. That's exactly why I enjoy dealing with you and offer myself up to you. I put my coat under you because I don't want you to catch a cold. You've just recovered, and now you've twisted your ankle..."

The more Lucas spoke, the more frustrated he felt. He had taken care of her closely in the hospital for several days, and it seemed like he would have to make another trip to the hospital.

Melody kept her head down silently. She had not expected to trip over and twist her ankle.

"Can you move this foot?" Lucas asked. Melody tried to lift it as he suggested, but the pain made her frown.

"Don't move. I'll carry you out," he said.

Melody's eyes widened slightly as Lucas lifted her up in his arms. Just a moment ago, he was carrying Thalia on his back, so why...

Lucas glanced down at her and explained casually, "You've injured your ankle. I'm afraid of accidentally bumping it if I carry you on my back, so it's better to hold you."

"Oh..." Melody did not dare to look up, so naturally, Lucas did not notice her blush.

"Anyway, as long as you know I'm selfish and cold-hearted, that's fine. I'm not going to thank you even if you carry me out," she said.
