The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2232

Melody did not remain unconscious for a long time. However, during the two-or-so hours she was out of it, every minute and every second made Lucas feel like an eternity.

Lucas flew back from abroad, working tirelessly for several days. Exhausted, he rushed to the hospital and found himself dozing off by her bedside while holding her hand.

That way, Lucas immediately sensed when Melody was waking up.

"Mmm..." Melody's fingertips twitched, and Lucas, feeling the activity, sat up straight.

"Are you awake?"

Melody's brow furrowed as if she was in a great deal of pain. "Mm..."

Melody moaned softly, and Lucas became even more concerned. He could hardly imagine how terrifying it must be for someone to face the agony of drowning.

Melody's eyeballs moved, and she blinked her eyes open.

Her gaze fell on a sea of white, and she struggled to make sense of where she was. Then, she heard the familiar voice of a man beside her.

"Melody...you're awake. Are you feeling any pain?"

Lucas' eyes were bloodshot, a detail that Melody noticed as soon as she made eye contact with him.

"Why are you back? Where... Where am I?" Melody asked.

"This is the hospital. You were unconscious after drowning. You just woke up. Do you feel any discomfort?" Lucas replied.

Melody was still a bit dazed. She wanted to shake her head to assure him that she was fine, but as soon as she did, she realized she was very lightheaded.
