The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2235

Lucas sat quietly by Melody's bedside, watching her sleep for half an hour.

Before leaving, he sought out the attending doctor and the nurse. They were both waiting outside the room, ready to do his bidding.

"Mister Lucas."

"Mister Lucas.

Lucas nodded in acknowledgment. "I need to go home for a while. I'll probably—"

He glanced at his watch. "I'll probably be back within an hour. Please make sure to keep an eye on my wife's condition during this time. When she wakes up, just tell her I'll be back soon."

Both the doctor and nurse nodded. It was their job, after all.

Lucas swiftly left the hospital and drove back home.

…

"Hello, sir. Welcome back."

Lucas waved his hand, signaling the household staff not to bother with greetings.

He went to his room carrying a bag and packed up some of Melody's belongings. Given how weak she looked, it would be best if she stayed in the hospital for a few more days for observation.

Afraid of any oversights if he asked someone else to pack Melody's things, Lucas came back personally. He packed quite a bit because he wanted to make Melody's hospital stay as comfortable as possible.

Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Thalia.

"Hello?" Lucas answered the phone.

He was worried that Melody might wake up and find him missing again. Thus, he was surprised to hear a soft sob on the other end.

"Lucas…"

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did something happen?"

She then feigned distress and continued crying. "Why are you so irritated with me, Lucas? I'll hang up if you think I'm being annoying. I don't mean to burden you with my problems. I know you have your own things to deal with, so go ahead with them."

Having known Thalia for many years, Lucas quickly stopped her from hanging up the phone. "If there's something wrong, just tell me!"

Thalia said nothing, but she did not hang up the phone either. It was as if she was waiting for him to apologize.

"Sorry, I have a lot going on here, so I might sound a bit impatient. So tell me, what happened?"

Only then did Thalia reply, "Lucas, I know what kind of person you are, and it's precisely because I know that I understand what your impatience toward me means.

"Lucas, haven't you noticed? Since you met Melody, you've become more and more irritable. Sometimes, I even wonder if you just don't want to deal with me anymore..."

Her feelings and guilt were effectively conveyed, but Lucas was momentarily at a loss for words.

His mind was preoccupied with taking care of Melody, so he could not spare the mental energy to think about these things.
