The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Despite Melody's concerns about whether this constant companionship might exhaust Lucas, there was no doubt that Lucas' round-the-clock presence provided her with a strong sense of security, and her mood improved significantly.
Lucas, realizing that his companionship was beneficial to Melody's physical well- being, was very pleased. He felt extremely grateful for heeding Patty's words and noticing Melody's psychological issues. However, for the past couple of days, Melody had been insisting on going home to rest, unwilling to stay in the hospital any longer.
"You heard what the doctor said yesterday, right? I've already recovered about ninety percent, and the doctor said I can rest at home now!" said Melody.
Lucas was organizing things, and Melody's gaze followed him as he moved.
"Stay in the hospital for a couple more days. And there's one test result still pending. Wait for that report to come in before going home."
Lucas' tone was indifferent, and to Melody's ears, it sounded somewhat ruthless.
"But I really want to go home. The doctor said that the pending test is optional. It's only because you insisted on it that I had to do it. Otherwise, I could've gone home today... I miss Grandma and Grandpa. It's been so many days since I last saw them."
Melody was genuinely concerned about Beatrice and Cedric while she was in the hospital. Apart from the two visits they made earlier, she had asked Lucas not to bring them again. After all, they were elderly, and frequent visits to the hospital might not be good for their health.
Lucas set aside the potted plant he was holding and turned to look at Melody. "Didn't you just talk to them on the phone last night?"
Melody blinked; her large eyes filled with surprise. "How can it be the same? Talking on the phone isn't the same as seeing them in person! It's not like I can feel Grandma's warmth through video calls, and I can't hug Grandpa either. I can't even tell if they've lost weight. I need to explain to Grandma why I didn't let her come to see me after I'm home."
Beatrice had been a bit upset during Melody's recent calls to her. She felt that she was perfectly healthy and could easily take care of Melody in the hospital. However, both Lucas and Melody disagreed, so she had to give up.
"Don't worry, Grandma was just joking. She won't be mad at you," Lucas reassured.
He was not opposed to Melody going home, but he could not relax until the pending report was available. This was despite the doctor's assurance that it was not crucial.
"You really won't let me go home now, huh? How about you take me home for a while, and then bring me back in the evening? We can stroll in the garden with Grandma and Grandpa, have tea, and play some chess with them!"
Melody sought a compromise, hoping for a breath of fresh air at least.
Given her request, Lucas found it hard to refuse.
"Is that all you want to go home?" asked Lucas with a hint of amusement.
