Ch. 2441..2450

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2441-"Oh, don't worry! I may not have learned the other skills. but I am pretty good at these two things. After all, you had always treated me this way since I was a kid, right?"

Helen was conscious that she had not been good enough to her biological daughter. Before coming, she thought that if Melody had a better attitude, Helen would try to make up for her mistakes appropriately. She did not expect such an attitude from Melody.

"It wasn't easy for your father and me to raise you, and this is the thanks we get?"

Melody smiled coldly. "Are you expecting me to repay the favor? I'm sorry, but I've severed all ties with you. From that day when I left with my suitcase, we're no longer related.

"I do not understand why you are saying these now. However, I don't have as much free time as you do. If you have nothing to do, please feel free to go to the kitchen and cook more dishes. Might as well make your husband and daughter happy. I'll be going now."

After all, the makeup artist awaited her. As for Helen, she should go back like how she came here.

Melody acted coldly, but when she turned to leave, the curled corners of her mouth still revealed a hint of her emotional instability.

Helen had never seen Melody's rebellion. Yes, she had been very dissatisfied with her daughter since she was born, but at least in general, she had never defied her requirements.

At this moment, however, Melody openly defied her in public. How unruly of her!

It did not help that there were many staff on set, eyeing her. Helen was angry and embarrassed.

Helen did not dare to resist her husband at home, but Melody was her biological daughter. Why could she not control her?

Helen angrily sprinted to pursue Melody.

Suddenly, Melody heard the makeup artist in front of her screaming, "Get away!"

"What-" Before Melody could react, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head.

"Ah!" Melody fell to her knees, holding the back of her head in disbelief.

The only person standing behind her was her mother. She never thought her own mother would attack her.

Helen always carried a thermos flask filled with hot water in her bag. She was not satisfied after hitting Melody once, so she raised her bag high and wanted to hit her a second time.

Fortunately, other staff members reacted and rushed forward, struggling to restrain her.

Melody slowly raised her head, only to confirm that it was indeed Helen who struck her.

Her vision blurred, and she passed out.

For a while, the crew became busy again.

"Get that woman! Does anybody know who she is? She barged in and knocked out Melody!"

"Hurry! Someone call the police and arrest her!"

Helen felt rather dignified upon realizing she had disciplined her daughter.

When she heard someone saying that they wanted to call the police, she immediately stopped the person. "Who's calling the police? I'm Melody's mother, and it is only appropriate for me to discipline my daughter!"

Mister Shaun heard the commotion and ran over. He carefully checked Melody's wounds.

The ambulance was already on its way. He also immediately informed Lucas of the matter. Lucas would surely be infuriated!

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2442-Mister Shaun was livid. It was as if he was about to eat someone alive."Where did you come from, murderer? You claimed to be Melody's mother?Even if you are, you shouldn't cause trouble in my crew! "Besides, you were aiming to kill her! Is a person like you worthy of being called a mother?"Arrest her! Take her to the police station, and let the police officers question this person! How could she be Melody's mother?"The director was fuming. He did not know Helen's identity all that much, but his tone was brutal.Helen should not have assaulted Melody just because she claimed to be her mother.He did not learn about Melody's background, and he never expected that she had such a mother.Lucas arrived faster before the ambulance did. If he had not remembered Melody's advice to him to abide by the laws, he might have been going through those red lights and speeding all the way here. As soon as he arrived at the set, he slammed the car door and hurried over.His heart wrenched when he saw Melody lying on the ground.He looked around and saw a woman he had never seen before. She was holding a bag, but she looked rather flustered.The surrounding staff also looked wary."Who did it?"Mister Shaun pointed at Helen. Although Helen was not familiar with Lucas, she could feel from the aura that this man was either rich or noble.She was about to greet him when the man took off his watch and slapped her mercilessly.No one else at the scene dared to make a noise. Everyone lowered their heads in tacit agreement, pretending that they did not see Lucas' action. "That was for Melody."At this moment, the ambulance arrived. By then, Lucas carefully lifted Melody without even giving Helen a look.Helen had always been a woman with dignity, so she refused to suffer such a humiliation. At that point, the man finally seemed familiar to her, and she was so angry that she did not have time to think more about who he was.She grabbed Lucas' wrist. "Who are you? Is this the attitude you show to your elders? Why are you so rude? Did your parents not educate you?!"Everyone else shuddered upon hearing Helen's words. This woman was foolishly daring enough to provoke Lucas!Everyone knew that it was taboo to mention Lucas' parents.However, this woman pointed at Lucas and insulted him as 'uneducated' by his parents.Lucas just smiled coldly. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will never have a good life again in the future."He broke free from Helen's hands, carried Melody, and walked away.Mister Shaun sprinted to catch up and gestured to the assistant beside him."You stay here. Keep an eye on the police officers, and make sure they take this woman to the police station before you leave. "If you have any questions, contact me straight away."He felt relieved after hearing the assistant's dutiful response to see this through.That crazy woman deserved a lesson. Too audacious was she, thinking she could do as she pleased just because she was Melody's mother. She was downright cruel!Judging from Lucas' reaction, he probably knew the nature of Melody's mother.Although the slap he gave her was very merciless, the staff were satisfied when they saw it.sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2443-Operations in the set were going according to plan, and Melody only went over to take a look because she heard that her mother was coming.

How could her mother assault her with the thermos flask? Would she be able to escape from legal consequences just because she was Melody's mother?

Would it be possible?

Helen was struggling on the way to the police station. "You can't arrest me. I'm her mother! I'm educating my daughter. Which law have I violated?"

A female police officer was very impatient and said, "It's because of mothers like you that there are so many unfortunate children. Do you really think that you can do anything to your daughter just because you're her mother?

"You hit your daughter's head with a thermos flask. If anything, you tried to kill her!"

They had seen a fair share of domestic issues at the police station, but this was the first time they encountered such a vicious mother. They could not stand to see it, let alone inflicted upon Melody.

Wendy never expected that Helen would fail to accomplish that, and even got herself into the police station.

When she received the call on set, she looked irritated.

"Who are you talking about? Helen? She's not my mother. Please don't call me again. Yes, you called the wrong number. Her daughter is Melody.

"Yes, I'm still busy. I shall hang up if there is nothing else from your end."

Wendy saw the director's impatient look and quickly hung up the phone.

She finally got this opportunity to shoot for an advertisement, and she would not miss it because of Helen.

As for why Helen ended up at the police station, she reckoned it was because she was stupid. What did it have to do with her?

The female police officer hung up the phone helplessly. "She said she's not your daughter. Did you remember the wrong number?"

Helen's smile stiffened. She was afraid that this matter would reach Ethan's ears and would land her in more trouble, so she gave Wendy's phone number instead.

It was Wendy who made her seek Melody. Helen did not expect that she would deny her to the police.

"Officer, did you not explain the situation to her? She doesn't know how dire this matter is, which is why she said she wouldn't come. Could you please call her again?" The police officer felt helpless, but she did as Helen asked. The next time she called, however, Wendy's phone was turned off.

She put her mobile phone close to Helen's ear. "Look. She looks like she doesn't want to come over at all. Is her attitude not obvious enough?"

Helen fell into her chair in despair. She never thought that all her efforts over the years would all be in vain.

She thought that she was doing her best in this family. For the sake of Wendy, she even neglected her own daughter.

Even a piece of ice would be melted by her, but reality slapped her hard.

Was Wendy's respect and love all fake? If it was true, why did she refuse to even visit her at the police station?

Helen was in so much pain that she really felt confused. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her biological daughter ended up in the hospital because of her. The other daughter whom she devoted all her efforts and loved for so many years, ignored her instead.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2444-What on earth had she been doing all these years? In the end, Helen had no choice but to call Ethan.

When Ethan heard that the other person was a police officer, he immediately lost his temper while he was still in the office.

"Officer, could you hand over the phone to Helen, my wife? I have something to say to her."

Ethan tried her best to suppress his anger. When he heard Helen's submissive voice from the other side of the phone, he exploded. "Are you stupid?! Why did you go to that damn girl Melody when you had nothing to do?"

"I… I didn't come here on my own volition. Wendy sent me here!"

Helen felt convicted. She had given so much to this family, but in the end, both Wendy and Ethan felt that she was a burden.

"How old is Wendy, and how old are you? You're already old! Can't you tell the difference between right and wrong? Did I not remind you not to go to Melody when you were at home yesterday?

"We've severed ties with Melody, so why on earth are you still looking for her?

Do you not feel disgraceful to end up at the police station? What do you do to the Sutton family?"

"I don't want to damage the family. Your daughter asked me to do this! Do you think it is possible for me to decline her request? Do you really not know that she's always wanted to be above me, after all these years? If you really care about me, you'll know the kind of dilemma I've faced!

"Whenever I'd reject any of her requests, she'd cry and say that she wanted to find her biological mother. Did you know how much I endured it over all these years?

"I've known for a long time that if I fail to satisfy her, she'll come to you and cry.

do you think I can still decline her request?!"

Helen covered her face and cried, and the police officer opposite basically understood the family dynamic.

However, she never expected that the mother in front of her would do such a ruthless act to her biological daughter, only to please her adopted daughter. It was absolutely ridiculous. Ethan also fell silent, one induced by guilt.

It was not that he was unaware of the undercurrents in his family, but he, the head of the family, chose to remain silent. He believed that these small matters did not need to be solved by himself. Besides, if he needed to step forward for such a trivial matter, what did he need Helen for?

"I've had enough. You said that I can be a housewife and not need to go out to work. I can just stay at home and be a full-time wife. But do you know what I have to go through? "Wendy knew how to manipulate me, even when she was still so young. I had been doing this for so many years, but only now do I realize that I was wrong.

"My own daughter is now admitted to the hospital because of me. Ethan, do you not have a conscience?"

The man opposite was silent for a moment. Eventually, the police officer took the phone. Helen was heaving so much that she could not even say anything if it was handed to her. "Mister Sutton, please come to the police station when you are free. Your wife is not emotionally stable right now, and we need to work with your family on some follow-up matters." Ethan covered the receiver and hid in a corner when others were not paying attention. He asked carefully, "Do I have to go there in person? Can I send a lawyer there?"

The officer looked confused. "It would be more convenient if a family member could come in person. But if you insist not to come forward and let a lawyer represent you, it is feasible."

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2445-"Is there any reason why you can't show up?"

Ethan said nothing. He just felt ashamed to have to go to the police station at such an old age. He would be so embarrassed if anyone caught him at the station. The police officer mused how dysfunctional their family dynamic was.

"Okay, fine. Your call." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meanwhile, after Lucas sent Melody to the hospital, the hospital quickly treated the wound on the back of Melody's head. Fortunately, it was nothing fatal.

"Doctor, why is Melody still unconscious?"

The doctor said to Lucas earnestly, "Mister Lucas, when Miss Melody was admitted to the hospital previously, I told you to pay attention to her mental wellbeing. Don't you remember?

"I don't major in psychology, you see. I know that Miss Melody's wound isn't serious, so if she hasn't woken up yet, it can only be due to her mental health.

Although Miss Melody looks very optimistic and positive, she may have a serious trauma."

The doctor had mentioned Melody's mental state to Lucas more than once.

Melody was much more cheerful the last time that she was hospitalized. Lucas did not expect the doctor to bring up her mental health issues again.

He never thought that it could be because of psychological factors that Melody was unwilling to wake up.

"Allow me to take the liberty of asking: What caused the injury on the back of Miss Melody's head?"

Lucas glanced at Melody, who was lying quietly on the bed, and sighed. "She was injured by her mother."

The doctor was greatly surprised. "Mister Lucas, I won't ask any more questions. However, I suggest that you contact a psychiatrist quickly so that Miss Melody can receive timely symptomatic treatment after she wakes up."

Even if the doctor did not remind him, Lucas was going to contact a psychiatrist.

Of course, it would have left a great impact on Melody's mental well-being for her to have lived in such a household for a prolonged period.

Melody deliberately suppressed her issues most of the time. She chose not to talk to others about them and solved these problems silently.

Lucas could not imagine how much Melody had secretly gone through alone, all these years. Helen's assault was probably the last straw that broke her final defense.

Lucas never regretted the slap that he gave Helen, and he even thought he could have slapped her harder. If it were not for the fact that Helen was a woman, he would have beaten Helen until she could not get up.

How could there be such a confused mother in this world who coddled her adopted daughter but turned a blind eye to her biological daughter?

Lucas did not know why she appeared on Melody's set, but he knew very well that she was not here for Melody's good.

If he knew Helen showed up, he would have sent someone to stop her in advance.

This woman, as well as the Sutton family, must be as far away from Melody as possible.

He did not hesitate to speculate on these people with the greatest malice. They had done enough to Melody.

It was unfair to her, but she was asked to shoulder a burden that was not hers.

Lucas stroked the wrinkles between Melody's eyebrows with great distress. He could not help but feel wary.

He did not know how much she had gone through over the years and how many times she had denied herself.

At this moment, Lucas was glad that Melody had become an actress. There were so many strangers who liked Melody from all over the world, which made her feel a lot of support.

To some extent, it made up for Melody's previous lack.

At the same time, Thalia also woke up in the hospital.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2446-Thalia looked for Lucas the first thing after she woke up. She grabbed a nurse in the ward and asked, "Where is Lucas?"

She sounded bratty, and the nurse felt a little uncomfortable.

However, it was the nurse's job to take care of the patients, so she had to answer patiently, "Mister Lucas has been gone since last night. He wanted you to have a good rest. He'll come over when he is done with work."

Thalia knew that these were just excuses. She waved her hand impatiently. "Go away; don't let me see you."

"Mister Lucas asked me to take care of you…"

Thalia's face darkened. "Am I the boss, or are you? Just leave when I tell you to, and do not talk so much. I'll call you when I need you."

The nurse had no choice but to leave the ward.

After closing the door, she sighed. Yet another difficult patient.

Fortunately, Lucas gave her a generous salary. No matter how much she complained, she would never give up this job.

Since Thalia had woken up, she secretly planned her next steps.

Thalia knew all too well that Lucas was just making excuses that he was busy with work. It must be because of the things she had said and the things she had done. He had a grudge and did not want to see her.

She had to think of a solution.

At this time, Tasha Lynch's call finally got through, and Thalia picked up the call impatiently. "What's the matter with you? Have I not given you the money? Can you stop calling me?"

Tasha was so anxious that she did not even bother to refute Thalia's words. She cried and said, "No… I seem to have offended a social media user. She also said she'd sue me. What do you think I should do? "You said you'd find me a lawyer. Why have you not contacted me yet?"

Thalia scoffed at how stupid Tasha was. "Which social media user did you offend? I only asked you to put on a show, but you got hooked by the feeling!

"Okay, I said I'd find a lawyer for you, so just chill out. I'm still in the hospital.

Can you be considerate? I gave you so much money for you to behave yourself." "No, that social media user seems to come from an important family.

Her family name is York!"

"What? Which York?" Thalia doubted her ears.

She had heard that the little miss of the York family spent most of her time surfing the Internet, but she never expected that Tasha would offend someone of this status. She felt her eyes darken and almost fainted again.

"Y-O-R-K. York!" spelled Tasha. "It's pointless to ask me so many questions now, so please help me think of a way to get rid of that woman!"

Thalia took a breath and tried her best to suppress her emotions. "What happened that day? Please tell me everything. Don't hide anything. In this case, I can still think of how to save you. Otherwise… Based on that young lady's net worth, you're a sitting duck."

Tasha was so frightened that she told everything about what happened that day and how she had hired hackers to investigate her background.

Thalia could not even bring herself to curse at Tasha.

Tasha was beyond stupid. How could someone in this world decide to shoot herself in the foot like this?

Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2447-Moreover, Tasha screwed herself in a most spectacularly foolish way. She did not even think about hiding her tracks!

She had offended someone, and it would be difficult to salvage no matter how hard she tried. Thalia thought that she must extricate herself from this matter.

It would also be best for her to take the opportunity to turn around Lucas' impression of her.

"Remember what I said, and you do as I say. Otherwise, I really won't be able to save you. That is all."

Tasha looked flustered after hearing Thalia's words. "Is it really okay to follow as you say? I've already offended that woman…"

"It is up to you whether you want to do it or not. Mark my words."

Leah York had indeed handed over the matter to a lawyer. She had never met someone who dared to blatantly provoke her.

Obviously, the person was openly challenging Leah. She was violating her privacy. What could she do to her?

However, Leah did not expect that the day after she said she wanted to sue Tasha, Tasha wrote a long post, saying that she was not afraid of Leah and that Leah could sue if she wanted to. [A lot has happened these days since I somehow got involved in Melody's matter. Perhaps more has happened in just a few days than in the past ten years or so.] [However, I want to say that although I am powerless, I am not someone who will tolerate injustice. There are always people who support justice in this world, and I believe I will not be alone.] After Tasha's misfortune, she dragged Melody out, spread some negative news about her, and ridiculed Leah for doing evil things online just because of her family and status.

In short, she offended both ends.

Many ordinary people felt disgusted after seeing this. Why were these rich but indecent people like them doing well online?

Leah looked at it with great disdain. "No matter how much nonsense you spout, you still did something wrong. Your wrong deeds won't be offset just because you're poor." Leah was a busy person, and she did not care what this woman said online. After all, after handing it all over to the lawyer, she did not have to worry about it anymore. Instead, another round of feud started in the comment section between herself and Tasha.

Some people thought that the fans were too nosy to worry about it. How much money did these celebrities earn in a day? Was it their place to care about it?

However, some people felt that justice should prevail no matter how much a person earned.

No one deserved to be blamed just because they were not as affluent.

Melody woke up slowly in the middle of the night. Lucas, holding her hand, woke up as soon as she did.

"Why are you not sleeping on the bed next to mine? It is so uncomfortable to sleep like this." Melody acted as if nothing had happened. With a faint smile on her face, she asked Lucas to quickly lie down on the bed next to her.

She reckoned he would not be in good shape for work tomorrow if he continued to sleep this way.

"I'm fine. How are you feeling? Are you still feeling dizzy now?"

Lucas did not bring the matter up. According to what the doctor said, Melody should have woken up more than an hour ago, but she had been stubbornly unwilling to wake up. It was partly because of her trauma.

If only he could have met Melody earlier, he would not have made her suffer so much.

He could not imagine what Melody had suffered at home. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2448-Lucas just looked at Melody quietly. His loving gaze showed that he already knew everything.

Melody closed her eyes in pain and croaked, "Don't look at me like this."

She could not see the love in Lucas's eyes with her eyes closed, but she could feel his warm and strong hands on her forehead when he gently touched her forehead.

He silently gave her strength.

"You think I'm pitiful, don't you?"

"None of this is your fault."

"Oh, I know it's not my fault, but after living in that environment for more than twenty years, I cannot tell whose fault it is sometimes. In fact, my mother also just wants to get along better with her adopted daughter.

"She forgot about me and always tried to please Wendy, but she forgot that what she really cared about was her own daughter. At least give me some attention, too!"

Melody opened her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. She stared at Lucas as if trying to get an answer from him. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Why did she not turn to look back at me, her biological daughter?

"My blood is hers. They chose to give birth to me. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been born. In the end, it was my own mother who gave up on me first!"

Lucas's voice is a little hoarse, "None of this is your fault. If there is an exam before becoming parents, then Helen and Ethan will definitely not qualify to become parents." "Yes, if there was such an exam, I would not have to suffer."

Melody turned over, unwilling to talk about such a topic that opened the wounds of the past. Even when it came to Lucas, she did not want him to know what she had suffered before. Some things were just too humiliating to mention.

The fact that Melody could mention this matter to him tonight was enough to surprise Lucas. He did not want to dig into the painful memories of her past.

For him, he was merely listening to Melody's past. For Melody, it was a bloody experience that happened to her.

At the same time, Lucas felt that he should find a psychiatrist for her, and fast-a doctor who could fully relieve Melody from her pain in the past.

Doctors like this were rare. He did not want a doctor who was after fame and fortune.

Melody was extremely vulnerable. If he was not careful, her traumas might be aggravated. Lucas had to think twice.

After Melody fell asleep again, Lucas carefully pulled away his hand and sat on a chair in the hospital corridor. Unexpectedly, he saw a message from Thalia.

[Lucas, are you free to come over? I have something to talk to you about.] Lucas frowned. The last conversation was not pleasant, and he no longer wanted to see Thalia.

Thalia's actions to hurt Melody repeatedly had crossed the line. Should Thalia refuse to repent, he must consider sending her back to Molomia.

Perhaps Grandma Beatrice was right; there should be no strings attached. They just needed to keep their distance.

He would ensure that Thalia had enough food and a comfortable life for the rest of her life and fulfill the promise he made to her family.

Eventually, Lucas finally agreed to Thalia's request. He was still staying in the hospital, and no one had been discharged. Lucas could not bring himself to be too harsh to a patient.

As soon as Lucas replied to Thalia's message, she quickly dialed the phone.

After the call was connected, he did not say anything immediately. Instead, Thalia asked tentatively from the other end, "Is this Lucas?"

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2449-"Why are you looking for me? You should be resting early."When she heard that Lucas still cared about her, Thalia covered her mouth and could not help but cry.She knew that although Lucas looked emotionally distant, his heart was warmer than anyone else. Even if he was angry with her, he was still willing to care for her, which meant that she still had a place in his heart.After affirming this, Thalia felt even more at ease.Thalia sniffed, which sounded particularly loud on this silent night."I'm fine. Although I am still a little dizzy now, I keep thinking about you and I do not dare to sleep until you agree.Lucas, are you still willing to be my friend?"Lucas said nothing."Don't worry, I have no other thoughts about you. After the last conversation, I do understand that after so many years, we've grown up, and a lot of things have happened. Although we keep in touch, in those days when we were not by each other's side, you've already met someone special. To you, that person is Melody, right?"Thalia smiled bitterly. "You may not answer, but I know that Melody is the person you're destined to be with. I had never seen you like a woman so much. If only I..."Lucas did not want to listen anymore. There were no what-ifs in this world. It was meaningless to mention the possibilities. Besides, he already had Melody's company.He was unwilling to talk about ambiguous possibilities with another woman behind Melody's back."If you continue to talk about this, then we will sever all connections. You should know that I only answered your call after I heard you say that we could return to that safe distance. If you-""I get it. Don't worry. I'm calling you now because I've made up my mind that I'll go on my way. You do not have to worry so much. I have a friend in Molomia who will be flying here. I'll be staying with her then. "I won't cling to you. When the time comes, you can be with Melody with peace of mind, and I'll never disturb your lives again."Lucas, I have made up my mind. Do you really want to alienate me so much?"Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.It was obvious that Thalia was starting to sob."Don't think too much. I have no intention of driving you away."Thalia cleared her throat and said sensibly, "I understand, but when I returned here, it was because I didn't dare to live alone, so I stayed at your house. Once Quinn gets here, I'll live with her."I always lived like this in Molomia. I didn't have any family to accompany me, but she stayed with me anyway. So for me, there is actually not much difference.You do not have to worry either." Although she pretended to have an optimistic tone, she sounded a little lonely.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2450-Hearing Thalia speak so pitifully and thinking of her dead sister, Lucas hesitated and said, "You can ask your friends to stay here at mine.

"We've got a lot of rooms, and Grandma actually likes company. As long as you stop being awkward with Melody, she won't make things difficult for you."

Thalia was obviously touched by the idea but still felt apprehensive. "I won't make Melody angry, but would this be a good idea? You also know that Grandma has never liked me very much, and I'm now inviting my friend to live with her at home.

"Forget it, Grandma must be very unhappy."

Lucas only asked her to think about it again and wait until her friend came over to ask for her friend's opinion.

It was alright if she did not want to go home to live there. He had so many properties in his name, so he could just point to any place and let them live there.

As for him and Melody, since Melody did not like crowds, he decided to find another property closer to Melody and take Melody there. Although Melody was used to living on the set during this period, he could also keep her company.

However, he always felt that that place was not within his territory, and he was not happy to let Melody live there.

Still, he kept this from Melody. He was just inspecting a more suitable property and waiting to move Melody there once she would be discharged from the hospital.

Helen did not wait for Ethan in the end. She did not expect that her husband, whom she had loved for so many years, refused to pick her up because of shame.

"Missus Sutton, I've bailed you out. However, the boss has a few more words to convey to you:

"You're not young anymore, and I hope you can be more sensible before taking action next time. Stop doing such stupid things. Not only do you look ungrateful, but it can also easily bring down our entire family."

Helen sluggishly raised her head and glanced at the indifferent lawyer in front of her. She sneered. "This is what Ethan asked you to bring me? He has nothing else to tell me?"

The lawyer thought for a while and finally shook his head. "My apologies. Do you need me to take you back?"

"No. I might as well take a walk by myself to calm down."

Helen walked aimlessly on the street. At this moment, she realized that she had been in an irrational state for so many years.

Otherwise, she would not have abandoned her daughter for someone else's daughter.

Just for Ethan, and for the family she worked so hard to manage.

In the end, this family abandoned her without even thinking. What was all her effort and devotion for, then?

If possible, Helen wished to go back to the past. She wished she had never met this man in the first place, the man who said he loved her to death but now despised her for embarrassing him. However, Helen could not help but think about it: what if she had given birth to a son? Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She was told that she was supposed to bear a son, so why did she give birth to Melody?

Helen despised her. If it were not for Melody, she would never be in this humiliating predicament.

Melody never thought that everything that happened to her mother would be projected on her. The most ridiculous thing was that her mother really felt that all the misfortune she experienced was because she was not born a son.

If she was his son, then Ethan would have loved her more.

Because Helen failed to give birth to a son, Helen was tortured by her motherin-law for so long. She finally came so far and survived much, but she had lost her husband's love instead.
