Cedric scoffed. "One should eat in moderation, no matter how good the food is. Don't you know eating too much crab can hurt your stomach? Melody, don't listen to what your grandma says. A plain croissant is better! If you want to eat something else, just let the housekeeper know, and she'll arrange it for you." Melody nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Grandpa. You and Grandma have been very good to me. I appreciate it." Beatrice had something on her mind, so even when Cedric scolded her, she did not take it to heart.

After Melody finished eating her crab croissant, Beatrice anxiously said, "What really happened yesterday? I asked Lucas, but he refused to tell me... I know you two don't want to worry us because of our age, but your grandfather and I'll beceven more worried if you keep things from us. We couldn't eat or sleep well because we were constantly thinking about you two." Beatrice's tone was filled with concern and devoid of blame, and it touched Melody's heart. This was a warmth she had never experienced even from her own family.

She set her cutleries down and looked at Beatrice. "Grandma, the reason Lucas didn't tell you is simply because it was just a very small matter. Everything was resolved yesterday. If I had told you last night, you would've been worried and had trouble sleeping again, right?" Beatrice sighed. "Now that we're getting older, and you kids all have your own opinions, you don't want to tell us when something happens..." Melody anxiously explained, "It's really not like that, Grandma! You and Grandpa are still young! No one would be able to tell you're seventy years old if we put you and Grandpa with a group of old people! You two look at most sixty years old!" Cedric patted Beatrice's hand and said, "That's enough. Don't say things like that. Look at how you've scared Melody. She can't even speak properly.

"Melody, you just said we still look healthy, so why keep these things from us? Did you learn it from Lucas? Since everything is resolved, there's even less reason not to tell us. Be a good child, and tell us now.' Cedric, being the one who clawed his way up in the business world when he was young, had effectively cornered Melody from every angle. There was no way around it-whether she wanted to say it or not. "Alright, letjust say one thing first. Now that everything is resolved, you two mustn't get too worked up."

She might not have worried about them worrying for her if they were her biological parents, However, with Cedric and Beatrice, it was a given that they would be concerned about her. Beatrice placed her hand on her chest and nodded. "Go on. I'm prepared." "Well... Yesterday, I told Lucas he didn't need to arrange for a car to pickup. But on the way back from the bookstore, I was kidnapped by three thugs..." Beatrice and Cedric both took in a sharp breath simultaneously; they never expected something so dangerous had happened to Melody.

"They were just after money, nothing else. Look atnow, I'm perfectly fine. They didn't even touch a single hair on me!" Melody hurriedly stood up and spun around in front of them. Beatrice-feeling somewhat distressed- pulled her back down to sit beside her.

"My poor girl! You must have been terrified yesterday."

Even if those three thugs were only after money, the fact that Melody was unexpectedly kidnapped-nom natter how calm she might be, and F regardless of the thugs' motives-must have scared her witless. Melody was moved by Beatrice's concerned gaze and could not help but tear up. "Yes..."

Beatrice felt a great deal of compassion for her it was evident that she had been frightened.

"Why that brat, Lucas. Something this significant happened, yet he didn't stay hwith you today. What business could be more important than you?" X
