The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melody's tears flowed ceaselessly, causing a slight stinging sensation on her swollen cheeks. Lucas reached for a tissue and gently wiped away the tears from her face. "That's why I asked you not to run off on your own. You wouldn't have gotten yourself in danger if you had listened to my arrangement!" said Lucas.

Melody, with tears in her eyes, met his gaze. She could not see his expression clearly, but she could sense that despite his harsh tone, he was deeply concerned for her. "I... I just didn't want to trouble you." Melody's hand still clung to his clothes, unwilling to let go.

"How could you think it's trouble for me? You... Never mind. Now that you know how dangerous it is, I hope you can learn from this experience," said Lucas with a sigh. Melody nodded obediently.

Lucas comforted her softly, "There, there. Everything's okay now. Fortunately, you managed to use the supplementary card I gave you, which alerted me that something was wrong.

"You've never used my card before, so I found it strange when you suddenly withdrew one million dollars today. I immediately tried calling you, but your phone was switched off. That was when I instantly realized something was wrong."

Melody pouted. "I lied to them, claiming I had a lot of money. Then I made a deal with them, asking them not to harm me and bring me the person who plotted against me. But..." Melody bit her lower lip out of anger. "I never thought that Wendy, my own sister, was behind this!"
