The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Good evening, Grandpa and Grandma. I'm sorry to bother you so late. I just got off the plane, and since I don't have any relatives or friends here, I had to trouble Lucas..." Thalia apologized. "You're Thalia, right?" asked Beatrice, although she already knew the answer.

After Thalia nodded, Beatrice smiled politely at her.

"Oh. Aren't you supposed to be recuperating abroad? Why did you suddenly come back to the country?"

Thalia smiled in response to Beatrice's question. "My health has improved quite a bit after these years of recuperating abroad. I came back this time because I missed some people... I hope I'm not too much of a bother to you and Grandpa..."

They all understood that Thalia's sister had passed away prematurely while trying to save Lucas, so the elderly couple had been taking care of Thalia as much as possible. Beatrice had always felt apologetic about the situation.

"Of course. You're more than welcome to stay here. It's just that it's quite late right now. Otherwise, your grandpa and I would've given you a warmer welcome. Not to mention, Lucas still needs to go back to the hospital to take care of Melody. We're afraid our efforts might fall short," Beatrice explained.
