The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2376

"Lucas, do you know what kind of woman Melody is? She behaves differently in front of you. I know you won't believe me, but the fact that I got hurt should be proof enough. I couldn't have done this to myself. So why don't you go ask her what happened!"

There were no cameras in the restroom, so Thalia was confident her lies would not be exposed. She was not afraid of Lucas looking into the matter.

"I'm not saying I don't believe you, but..."

"But what? I've suffered such a serious injury, yet you still don't believe me and choose to believe her! I would've sued her if she wasn't your wife! I want her to know that I'm not so easily bullied!" Melody was an actress then, so it would be disastrous if she got caught up in a controversy.

Lucas immediately stopped Thalia. "Don't act recklessly! It's different here than in Molomia. Lawsuits can be very troublesome. I promise you I'll look into this matter thoroughly. Just don't make any rash moves until I've got to the bottom of this, understood?"

Thalia smirked coldly. "In the end, you're still looking out for her. Lucas, sometimes I really feel like my sister died in vain. She would've believed me unquestionably if she was still alive! Sob! You and I grew up together. I've known you longer than you've known that woman. It's heartbreaking how you don't trust me at all."

Lucas could no longer maintain his composure after Thalia brought up old wounds. "I've never forgotten your sister's sacrifice. You can trust me on that."

Looking into Lucas's eyes, Thalia felt like she was drowning. "Lucas, I might have trusted you in the past, but you've changed. I feel like you're nothing but a stranger to me now. I thought that with our years of friendship, you would unconditionally believe in and support me. Even now, you show little concern for me, but you're quick to defend the person who hurt me. Would you still take her side if your investigation conclusively proves that she was the one who pushed me?"

Lucas remained silent, refraining from answering Thalia's question. He could not provide her with any answers until he had investigated the matter thoroughly. He also knew that Melody would not resort to such malicious acts.

"You have to trust me. I'll never let the person who hurt you go unpunished. At the same time, I can't falsely accuse someone. While I may have known Melody for less time than you, I understand her. She would never do something as harmful as this. There must be a misunderstanding between you two."

Meanwhile, Melody did not expect Lucas to stand up for her so vehemently to Thalia. However, a person's subconscious reactions often reveal their true thoughts.

When Thalia was lying on the ground unconscious, Lucas's questioning gaze was enough to suggest that he believed Melody was responsible for everything. That look still sent chills down Melody's spine when she recalled it. She had thought Lucas would trust her unconditionally, but at that moment, she realized she had been too naive.

Melody gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. Lucas had behaved similarly during the previous incidents on the set, even going so far as to put an act for her sake.

Thus, how could he have changed so much in such a short time? It was always easier to go from poverty to wealth, but harder if it was the other way around. After experiencing Lucas' unconditional love and trust, facing his distrust was nothing short of agonizing for Melody.
