The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Food poisoning?" Lucas turned to Mandy.
Cedric and Beatrice had always been under Mandy's care, and she was responsible for their daily meals.
Mandy quickly stood up, waving her hands in explanation. "Mister Lucas, I truly had no idea! I've always been cautious about your grandparents' health and never gave them anything from outside. How could this happen?"
Mandy was anxious to defend herself. However, she lacked evidence to prove her innocence and could only gesture nervously.
'Contaminated food? I made breakfast this morning. Is this happening because of me?' thought Melody suddenly.
She glanced at Mandy, who looked visibly concerned. After a moment of hesitation, she stood up and timidly said, "Um... I prepared breakfast this morning, and I also cooked dinner last night. I don't think this has anything to do with Mandy."
Lucas raised an eyebrow, silently gazing at her.
In truth, he trusted Mandy. After all, she had been taking care of Beatrice for so many years, and their bond was deep. It seemed implausible that she would resort to poisoning her.
However, Lucas could not extend the same assurance to Melody.
After entrusting Cedric and Beatrice to Mandy's care, Lucas led Melody out of the ward and into the corridor.
Chloe was also there. She had been waiting outside as she was here to assist in taking care of Cedric and Beatrice.
Melody timidly followed behind Lucas. Once they were a bit farther away, she hesitated before speaking, "Um... Mister Lucas, I know someone else is in charge of preparing meals at home. When I first got to your house, I just wanted to stick to our agreement of playing the role of a responsible daughter-in-law. That was why I thought of making a meal for Grandpa and Grandma to try..."
Lucas turned, glaring at her coldly. "So what did you put in their breakfast?"
According to Mandy, Cedric and Beatrice were fine after dinner last night. The issue must have stemmed from the food they had during breakfast.
Melody furrowed her brow, sincerely contemplating for a while before saying, "I didn't put anything weird. I only used ingredients you can find in any other grocery store. Lucas, I know you must be suspicious of me right now, but I truly didn't do anything..."

Lucas continued to scrutinize her, trying to gauge if she was telling the truth. However, there did not seem to be any clear motive for Melody to harm Cedric and Beatrice. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
"I... I might have seen something," said Chloe up as she timidly walked up to them.
Lucas looked at Chloe. "What did you see?"
