The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2568

"Do you know Wendy?" Lucas got straight to the point.

Thalia was initially puzzled. She then blinked and asked, "Wendy? Who is she? I don't know her. But the name sounds familiar. It feels...somewhat similar to Melody's name. Melody, Wendy... Haha! They both ended with the same syllable."

"You're not mistaken. Wendy's is Melody's half-sister from the same father." Lucas' gaze bore into Thalia as if trying to see through her.

"Is that so? I've known Melody for so long, but I didn't know she had a half-sister. Did something happen between the two of them?"

Lucas shook his head. "You really don't know her?"

Thalia frowned slightly. "I don't know her. I've already said so. Why don't you believe me? What's there to doubt? I don't have much interaction with Melody, let alone her sister."

"Is that so? But Wendy claims she knows you."

"What?"

"Have you been home since you returned from the hospital today? Why did you go to the hospital today?"

'Thalia had never once visited Grandma at the hospital until today, so why did she suddenly decide to go today?' thought Lucas.

"What are you talking about? Is it wrong for me to visit Grandma Beatrice with a fruit basket? I know she doesn't particularly like me, but at the end of the day, she's still your grandmother and my elder! Isn't it natural for me to visit an elder?

"Lucas, what are you doing? Why are you treating me like a criminal? What happened exactly? I have the right to know. There's no reason for you to interrogate me like a suspect without even telling me what's going on!"

Thalia's expression turned serious, and she instinctively frowned as if she had been wronged by Lucas.

"You should know that you've never voluntarily visited Grandma these days. Yet, the moment you did, something happened to Melody!"

Lucas' fists were already clenched tightly. He might have taken her to the police station long ago if it were not for the many years of friendship between them.

Thalia's acting skills were indeed impressive. Even in the face of Lucas' questioning, she appeared genuinely surprised.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could something have happened to Melody? I remember she never came back after going to the restroom. Don't tell me you think I'm behind all this, do you?

"Even until now, I have no idea where

she is. In fact you should pity me. I was kind enough to visit her at the hospital, but she didn't even appear after I spent the whole morning waiting for her! I didn't even complain about it, and yet you're accusing me of doing something to her?

"Lucas, we've known each other for so many years, and sometimes, I really don't want to dwell on things too much. But you've changed ever since you got with Melody. We've known each other for so long. Do you really see me as someone capable of doing such things? know you like Melody, and I've said. I'd step back and return to being just a friend. Didn't I make good on my promise? What more do you want from me? What does anything that happens between the two of you have anything to do with me?"

Tears began to well up in Thalia's eyes as if she felt really aggrieved.

culprit and make them pay!"

"Do you know that Melody was kidnapped? When I found her, she was covered in bruises, barely breathing. The moment I saw Melody like that, I swore to myself that no matter what, I'm going to replace the
