The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas wanted to refuse Thalia's suggestion. To his surprise, Melody paused for a moment and instead suggested that she and Quinn stay.
"Just as Thalia said, we need all the help we can get right now to find evidence. We'll also need to take Grandpa's shift at the hospital to look after Grandma after she wakes up. With so much going on at home, it's indeed overwhelming."
Even though Beatrice was still lying in the hospital, her condition uncertain, Melody's words calmed Lucas' mind. It was as if telling him that his grandmother would wake up for sure.
"You're right. After Grandma wakes up, both of us will have to help Grandpa look after her. After all, he's getting old and can't be at the hospital all the time," Lucas said, nodding in agreement. After thinking about it, he looked up and gratefully glanced at Thalia and Quinn. "Thank you for offering your help. We might just really need it later on."
Quinn was pleasantly surprised and smiled, waving her hands. "It's already a pleasant surprise to receive the invitation today. I'm more than willing to help you. Just let me know what you need." Thalia, however, could not muster a smile. It was she who offered to stay and help, but after what Melody said, it seemed like she was the one persuading Lucas to let them stay.
'Does she really think she's the mistress of the household?' thought Thalia. Even if they did end up staying, she was not feeling good about it.
"I'll have Raymond bring over all the surveillance footage," Lucas said, getting up.
He needed something to occupy himself with. Otherwise, he would just be waiting at home for news from the hospital, and that would drive him crazy.
Lucas knew that over the years, he had grown into a rational adult. He could handle everything that
happened in the company without
batting an eye. Whether it was a sudden betrayal from a long-time elder or a partner company pulling out of an important contract, he managed to weather it all.
However, when faced with the accident involving his grandparents, he could not stay calm. Even when watching the surveillance footage, his hands were shaking, causing Melody to worry about him even
more.
Alas, there was nothing she could do because the only thing that could comfort Lucas was good news from the hospital. Melody was also very worried about Beatrice and Cedric. She was afraid Cedric would do something drastic if Beatrice really did not make it.
The thought of Lucas possibly losing both his loved ones at the same time made her heart ache. She did not want to lose Beatrice and Cedric, and she certainly did not want to see Lucas lose everything. Although Beatrice appeared to be in decent health on regular days, the bones of the elderly are the most fragile. This fall not only caused bone fractures but also head injuries.
Melody sighed deeply once again, hoping that things would not turn out as bad as she feared. Before leaving, Lucas had already warned not to tell anyone else what happened at the banquet unless they wanted to cross him.
Under this pressure, no one dared to speak out. Alas, no secret could be kept hidden forever, and this incident eventually leaked out.
[Tsk tsk tsk, don't you think someone is really a jinx? Wherever she goes, families fall apart!]
[I feel the same way. Maybe she's really a curse, so she brings misfortune wherever she goes.]
