Chapter 1973 "Fine!" Melody relented and got out of the car.
Just as she got out of the car, she lost her balance and fell forward.
Fortunately, Lucas reached out and steadied her by the shoulders, preventing her from taking a tumble.
Melody looked up as she regained her balance, and the two of them looked at each other. They were so close that it made Melody's heart race.
She quickly straightened up and backed away from Lucas, awkwardly saying, "Thank you." "Be more careful next time." Lucas looked at his empty hand with a deep scowl.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she walked behind Lucas, Melody could not help but replay the recent close encounter in her mind.
The vivid image of Lucas' face being so near lingered in her mind, his flawless skin and long eyelashes etched in her memory.
Melody patted her chest lightly, forcing her heartbeat to return to normal.
'Lucas will hear my beating heart if it continues to beat so loudly,' she thought.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Lucas asked.
"It's nothing," Melody replied.
The two of them made their way to the hospital's examination room. After the nurse sterilized her wound, she put ointment on it before wrapping a bandage around it.
"All done!" said Melody to Lucas after she walked out of the room.
Lucas had been waiting outside the corridor with his hands in his pockets for her.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked when he saw her walking out.
"Nah, it's fine now. It didn't hurt much to begin with. Thanks for your concern," answered Melody.
For Melody, her injury was no big deal. Even when she had more severe injuries before, no one bothered to ask if she was in pain. Of course, Lucas expressing concern made her feel unexpectedly appreciative of him.

"Hello. Everything okay? Alright, I'll be there in a while!"
Despite not mentioning the caller's name, Melody could faintly hear the Ve voice on the other end of the line. It was Stella.
Lucas' tone seemed to warm slightly when speaking to her, unlike his usual icy demeanor.
"I have something to attend to. I need to go now," Lucas informed Melody after hanging up the phone. Melody anticipated this outcand was unsurprised. "Was it Miss Stella? Is everything alright?"
"She needs my help, so I have to go now," Lucas answered casually ve m without affering much explanation.
Melody nodded. "Alright, then. Just go. I'll take a taxi back later."
