"Melody wanted to go and open the door for Beatrice but forgot that she had left her crutches at the entrance. As she stood up abruptly, she lost her footing and fell to the ground. The fall echoed in the quiet night, causing Beatrice's heart to skip a beat.

"Oh my, what happened? Are you hurt? Take as long as you need. I can wait. No need to rush," Beatrice called out.

Melody's knee throbbed from the hard impact. After kneeling for a few seconds, she regained her senses and managed to lift herself up.

"Grandma, I'm fine. It's just a little knock. Please hold on a moment. I'll cand open the door for you now." Melody struggled to open the door, leaning against the wall for support.

Beatrice's heart clenched when she saw Melody's messy hair and her standing on one foot.

"Oh, my poor child! You look absolutely exhausted." Beatrice's eyes filled with tears as she gently stroked Melody's cheek. "You've lost weight. How can you lose so much weight in just a few days? It's all my fault for only visiting now. I'd have cearlier if it weren't for this cold. You must have been scared, my child." Melody hugged Beatrice tightly, nuzzling into her neck. "Grandma, you're never late. It makeshappy whenever I get to see you!" Melody rarely acted like this, and Beatrice patted her back to comfort her. "Come, Melody. Let's go in. It's not good to stand at the door like this." Melody skillfully used her crutches to guide Beatrice into her dormitory. "Grandma, usually it's justhere. I forgot to prepare a pair of new slippers for you. Would these be okay?" Beatrice nodded in agreement.

"This dormitory looks quite nice. Mister Shaun sure has put in a lot of effort," Beatrice remarked. S~Earch the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Melody turned back with a smile. "They've spent so much money on it after all. Besides, most of the people living here are like me, and occasionally there are even big stars guest-starring. So how could they not provide good accommodation?" As Beatrice entered, she noticed that apart from the small lamp by Melody's bedside, the rest of the room was dark, giving it a desolate feel.

"Do you find it too dark, Grandma? Shall I turn on the lights?" Melody offered.

Beatrice had cintending to talk with Melody, so she nodded. After the lights were turned on, she noticed that Melody's eyes were clearly red from crying.

"What happened? You look so heartbroken. I've asked Lucas, but he stubbornly refused to tellanything." Beatrice felt a surge of sympathy and immediately stood up to get sice for Melody to reduce the swelling.

"Nothing happened, Grandma. You're overthinking it. I was I was just watching a movie. It was so sad, so I ended up crying," Melody lied. Beatrice did not buy into her lie. "Then why was Lucas so evasive? You two must be hiding something from me."

Melody lifted her head to meet Beatrice's gaze. "Grandma, I don't mind telling you everything. But I have to say, truly nothing happened. Otherwise, I would have told you."

Beatrice still did not believe her, but she would eventually get to the bottom of it. "Oh dear, I was so eager to talk to you that I forget. Lynettel specially prepared chicken soup for you. You always loved it at home, didn't you? Today, I had a whole bucket made and brought it over. Whenever you feel hungry, just heat it up in the microwave. Lynette said it can be refrigerated for up to three days." X
