"Since that's how you feel, there's nothing more to be said. But you better remember the lesson from last time and stop flirting with taken men. The people here aren't people you can afford to cross," said Thalia.
After greeting important guests, Lucas approached Cedric and whispered, "Grandma and Melody have been upstairs for a while. I'll go up and check on them. Grandpa, remember not to drink anymore. I'll have someone bring you some water instead."
Upon hearing the first half of what Lucas said, Cedric nodded. However, his expression darkened when Lucas moved to confiscate his drink. It was the rare chance he could drink, especially since Beatrice was not around, yet even this little privilege was being taken away by his grandson.
Ignoring Cedric's resentful glare, Lucas insisted that he should be more careful at his age. Lucas ascended the stairs in a few strides and gently pushed open the door to find Melody delicately massaging Beatrice's head.
"Shh..."
Melody immediately gestured for him to lower his voice when she saw Lucas entering the room. It seemed that Beatrice was indeed feeling the weight of her age. Just engaging in a conversation downstairs had left her exhausted.
The thought saddened Lucas, which was evident from his frown. His
grandparents were growing older with each passing day, and time's passage was something he could not stop. He sat quietly beside Melody, his gaze filled with concern as he looked at the strands of white hair riddling Beatrice's head.
Once they confirmed that Beatrice had fallen asleep, Melody quietly covered her with a thin blanket and then led Lucas to the balcony.
"Time spares no one. Their health is deteriorating..."
Melody had never seen such a melancholic emotion in Lucas' eyes before. He looked disheartened, furrowing his brow to conceal his emotions. However, Melody could still sense the sadness surrounding him and she embraced his head gently.
No words could comfort Lucas at
that moment, so she chose to convey her reassurance through her actions, telling him silently, "Don't worry too much, I'm here. No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side."

Time was relentless, and their grandparents aged quietly and imperceptibly.
"All we can do is to spend what little time they have with them. Don't be so sad. If Grandpa and Grandma

saw us like this, they'd feel sad too." Melody whispered these words softly into Lucas' ear as if speaking to herself. "Grandma even said, she'll wait for me to finish filming and come back to spend time with her. My promotional events are scheduled for next week, and I plan to move back here after they're over. We'll spend more time with them, so
they won't feel so lonely." Content
No matter how upset he was, Lucas could not stop time. All he could do was to spend more time with his grandparents while they were still alive, ensuring that their lives were free of regrets.
Lucas calmed down after a while.
Melody remained silently by his side,
