Beatrice intervened, advising Lucas to take Melody to the hospital first. "Thalia has been standing for quite some time just now, unlike Melody who can't even stand. Thalia's injury isn't probably that serious. There'll be plenty of young, strong guys from the search team who can carry her when they've returned.
