To her surprise, a knock echoed on the ward''s door. Melody''s eyes widened as she gazed at the man who entered her room. "Sherman?" Melody asked.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Sherman had not expected Melody to be awake. He swiftly approached the hospital bed and ced a pillow behind her head for her addedfort. With a chuckle, he asked, "What''s wrong? You don''t seem overly thrilled to see me."


    Melody smiled. "That''s not it. You''re wee here, of course. I just didn''t expect you to visit. It''s a pleasant surprise."


    The smile faded from Sherman''s face in an instant. He reached out to tuck a strand of Melody''s hair behind her ear, but he immediately withdrew it and sighed deeply. Melody blinked and was puzzled by his sudden change in demeanor.


    "What''s the matter? Are things not going well at thepany?" Melody asked.


    Sherman shook his head. "Thepany has received severalrge projects recently, and we''ve already achieved a lot of positive results for the second half of the year."


    Melody became even more perplexed. If everything was going well for thepany, then he should not have any reason to frown.


    "You must be curious about why I''m frowning," Sherman said.


    Melody nodded.


    "That''s because I''m worried about you. You''ve been gued with endless troubles ever since you entered the industry. I''m starting to find it hard to bear, too. I hope you don''t mind me asking you this-have you ever considered leaving the industry?"


    Melody was taken aback. She did not expect Sherman to express such genuine concern for her, and she felt conflicted as a result. However, Melody had a few words to say when it came to the career she loved so much.


    "Issues like this don''t pop up that often. It''s just..."


    "What do you mean, it doesn''t pop up that often? You''ve been ndered, framed, and nearly lost your life! Is this career truly worth risking your life for?


    "Don''t answer me right now. I understand that I''m just your senior, and I''m not that important a person in your life, but stop for a moment and ask yourself where''s Lucas? Where are his grandparents? What is their opinion on this?"


    Melody hesitated despite wanting to blurt out her determination to press on. Sherman''s mention of Lucas and Lucas''s grandparents had struck a chord. Their concern for her, which stemmed from her association with showbiz, made her feel rather unsettled because the old couple cared more about her than her own family.


    "I don''t want you to give up on this industry either, but I feel sorry for you. It pains me to see all these things happen to you time and time again. Aren''t there other behind-the-scenes roles in showbiz? Working in these positions might spare you from all those life-threatening situations."


    Melody kept quiet. She understood Sherman''s intentions, but it was simply too difficult for her to entertain the prospect of abandoning her passion.
