The Day I Kissed An Older Man

However, Lucas and Melody knew they could not let their emotions get the better of them. They still had important things to do. They had to shoulder the burden of the family since Beatrice was still in the emergency ward with Cedric
accompanying her.
"I'm worried about Grandma too, you know..." Melody's eyes turned red. She could not bear to say more. She was afraid that she would start crying if she did.
She did not want to think about it, but if she had not had that extra glass of wine, Beatrice would not have come upstairs to check on her. None of this would have happened.
Originally, Beatrice and Amber were chatting happily. It was her birthday, and it was rare to have so many old friends gathered together. Lucas and Melody had thrown such a grand banquet, hoping Beatrice would be happy, but it ended up with such a tragic outcome.
'If I had known this was going to happen, it would've been better for the family to have a quiet dinner together...' thought Melody.
However, there was no turning back time, no matter how regretful Melody was. The only thing she could do was to find out what happened.
Lucas pulled Melody into his arms when he saw her looking so sad. Both of them were going through a lot, and he was so focused on his own distress that he had not realized Melody was also consumed by guilt.
"I'm sorry..." Lucas murmured.
Melody shook her head. "It's not your fault."
She wanted to tell Lucas not to blame himself. The accident happened so unexpectedly, and neither of them wanted things to turn out this way.
Sitting behind them, Thalia could not
help but clench the mouse tightly as
she watched the two of them being
affectionate. Finally, she
contain her frustration and

accidentally dropped the cup she
was holding, startling both of them.
Lucas frowned and turned back to look at her with displeasure. "If you're tired, I can have someone arrange the guest room for you to rest."
Thalia quickly put on a gentle expression. "No, I'm not tired. It just seems like Grandma Beatrice might've really fallen accidentally..."
Quinn, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected as she observed them. "How do you know Grandma Beatrice fell by herself?" Thalia abruptly stopped speaking and turned to glare at Quinn.
At that moment, Melody calmly asked, "Yes, I'm also curious. I also want to know where you get this conclusion from."

Thalia's face slowly turned red from the way Lucas, Melody, and Quinn were looking at her. She pointed at the computer screen and
stammered, "We've been searching for evidence for so long, but we haven't seen anyone pushing Grandma down. Isn't that enough evidence? I understand that Visit

Quinn seemed genuinely puzzled as she tilted her head and asked, "We haven't found any suspects, so how can we accuse anyone? Although 'We haven't found evidence of someone harming Grandma Beatrice, we also haven't found evidence of Grandma Beatrice falling by herself, right? I think the best course of action is to wait for Grandma Beatrice to wake
up and ask her." Visit

Thalia grimaced, thinking she could hide her expression by lowering her head, but Melody saw it all too m clearly. Thalia smirked inwardly, and thought, 'That's if that old hag is ever going to wake up!" "Thalia, do you think what Quinn said is wrong? Do you have any other insights?"
