Melody had made her stand clear. She would rather stay in the dormitory than at home. She did not like Thalia, and Lucas regretted not taking her feelings seriously earlier.

"Gasp..." Thalia woke up, but Lucas pressed down on her shoulder with a serious expression before she could move.

"Don't move. Your wounds have just been bandaged. I'll call the doctor to come and check on you."

Without waiting for Thalia's response, Lucas immediately called for the doctor.

Thalia's face lit up with a satisfied smile. Despite getting injured, the outcome was worth it. She knew Lucas cared about her after all.

'Oh, Claudia. I have you to thank for Lucas caring about me so much!' thought Thalia.

"Doctor, could you come and check to see how she's doing now?" asked Lucas.

The doctor came to examine Thalia and then turned to inform him, "Mister Lucas, there's no need to worry. Your wife has just regained consciousness, so some discomfort is normal, especially since she sustained a head injury. She just needs to have some rest for now, and our nurses will come to change her bandages on schedule."

Upon hearing the doctor refer to her as Lucas' wife, Thalia could not help but smile smugly. However, in the next moment, she put on a shy expression. "Doctor, you've got it wrong. I'm not his wife..."

The doctor glanced awkwardly between the two of them before apologizing, "Oh, I'm sorry, I mistook you two for a married couple. My apologies."

Lucas did not pay much attention to what the doctor said. After the doctor left, he sat down beside Thalia again. "How are you feeling now?"

"It hurts a lot. My head feels fuzzy, and I can't even nod properly. It's really uncomfortable..." replied Thalia pitifully.

Lucas frowned and asked, "What exactly happened in the restroom? How did you suddenly fall to the ground?"

However, instead of answering Lucas's question, Thalia asked him, "Lucas, do you believe me?"

Without expressing his stance, Lucas continued, "What happened in the bathroom? It was just you and Melody there. I replace it hard to believe that she would harm you."

Melody was usually very calm. Even though she would sometimes argue with Lucas, she had never resorted to violence. The fact that she had been involved in several incidents on the set in quick succession proved that she wished for nothing more than to avoid trouble.

She even tried to avoid interacting with other crew members whenever possible. Although she might come off as aloof, Melody was very passionate about her work, which was why Shaun and the others had always liked working with her.

However, it was precisely because of this favoritism from Shaun that Melody found herself in a predicament. On the bright side, the same ordeal further solidified Lucas' belief that Melody was a pushover instead of a bully.

"Lucas, you don't seem to believe me, so why are you asking me? You should go ask Melody what happened!" Thalia exclaimed, her face filled with indignation as if she held a deep grudge against Melody. She even turned her face away.

Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, Lucas felt a sense of helplessness. "Alright, the doctor said you shouldn't get too worked up. I won't bring up Melody again if you don't like me doing that."

Thalia turned around and said, "Yes, I don't like Melody, but do you know why I don't like her? You only talk about how good Melody is and how you believe she wouldn't do such things. What about me? Do you think I caused myself to end up like this?"

Thalia was visibly distressed, her eyes even turning red. "I thought as soon as I woke up that you would investigate this matter, but who would have thought you already concluded that Melody is innocent without even asking me? What's the point of asking me then?"
