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?"
