The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2322

After getting out of the car, Lucas carried Melody back inside.

Surprisingly, Beatrice and Cedric had been waiting for them in the living room, even though they were both clearly nodding off with their eyes closed.

"You're back! What did the doctor say?" Beatrice greeted them and walked with them to the sofa.

Melody held Beatrice's hand and said disapprovingly, "Grandma, Grandpa, you should go to bed first. I'm fine, really."

Beatrice's forehead creased with persistent worry. "How could we sleep when you two hadn't returned from the hospital? Don't worry, we don't sleep much at night either, given our age." As Melody struggled to get down, she said, "Alright, now that I'm back, you and Grandpa can go to bed with peace of mind."

Beatrice nodded, instructing Lucas to take care of Melody before heading back to the room with Cedric.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to fix you something to eat?" Lucas asked, but Melody shook her head. She did not have much of an appetite, even though she had skipped dinner. Lucas decided to prepare some hot oatmeal for her later, perhaps during their usual late-night snack time, to fill her stomach.

Shortly after they returned, Raymond also came back carrying Thalia. He looked resentful, just greeting them briefly before hurriedly leaving the living room.

There was a small building adjacent to the mansion specifically built for the security guards and kitchen staff to live in.

Thalia, seeing the two of them quietly sitting on the sofa, could not care less about Melody being nearby and smiled at Lucas, trying to placate him.

"Lucas, it's best if you don't bring Melody to that hospital next time. The first doctor I had was really incompetent. The new doctor I saw prescribed a lot of topical medications for me." Melody, upon hearing Thalia mention her, did not even raise her head.

'I wouldn't have sprained my ankle if it weren't for her today!' thought Melody.

She felt irritated at not being able to return to the set for a while. As for how Lucas would punish Thalia, or whether he would punish her at all, it had nothing to do with Melody anymore. She just wanted to finish dealing with this matter as soon as possible and return to her room.

Lucas did not respond to Thalia. He only asked Melody, "Didn't you just say you wanted to go back and rest? Shall I carry you back to the room first?"

Melody nodded.

Thalia watched resentfully as Lucas carried Melody back upstairs. When she found herself alone in the large room, she could not hold back any longer and threw all the pillows from the sofa onto the floor. 'Who does that Melody think she is? How dare she ignore me?' thought Thalia.

The thought of such a person becoming an actress filled Thalia with even more hatred. She immediately picked up her phone and opened the app 'Surf', which she had not used in a long time.

She had signed up on this app just to keep track of Lucas' activities in New Capital City. After all, he was a business tycoon, and any slightest movement of his had many people discussing it on this app.

It was through that app that she learned that Lucas had married an actress. She was utterly shocked that a family like the Riveras would allow an actress to marry into the family.

'If an actress can marry into the family, then so can I! After all, I'm so much better than Melody!' thought Thalia.
