"Is this guy crazy? Did he really say, ''Feel free toe again''?" Monica rubbed her own goosebumps, while Penny smiled faintly.


    Penny somewhat understood Lucas'' perspective. Perhaps when he said those words, it was all for Melody''s sake. After all, Monica was good friends with Melody, and he likely wanted to maintain a cordial rtionship with her.


    As they watched Monica and Penny flee, Melody smiled. When she locked eyes with Lucas, she could not resist blurting, "I have something to tell you..."


    Lucas stood there for a moment. They both knew what Melody wanted to say. Eventually, he walked over to her in silence.


    "I...want to go back to filming after I''ve recovered," Melody said.


    She thought it would be challenging to bring the matter up to him, knowing that every incident not only affected her but also Lucas, Beatrice, Cedric, and others who cared about her. Melody did not want to keep causing them to worry. However, she could not suppress her genuine desire to act.


    Melody tightened her grip on the nket. She spoke earnestly to Lucas about her deep passion for acting, "I... I know saying this now might be inconsiderate of me, but acting is something I truly love to do. I hope you can understand."


    Before getting into acting, she never imagined finding something she could love so passionately. The thought of their film being showcased on the big screen, seen by so many audiences, made her heart race. "I... I only feel like myself when I''m acting. I can even dedicate my soul to it. I know you might think I''m crazy, but Lucas, I really love it. I love acting so much, and I..." Melody began, pouring her heart out. "Then go ahead." Lucas lifted his head to look at Melody, whose eyes were already moist. How could he bear to refuse her when she looked like that? She should pursue acting if it was something she loved. He would always be there to protect her.


    "What?" Melody was a bit stunned. She had not expected Lucas to agree so easily.


    "If it''s something you love, then go for it. Leave the rest to me," Lucas said, still with a stoic expression.


    Melody''s tears streamed down her face. She was always afraid of causing trouble for others, especially for Lucas and his family. Still, she repeatedly did that.


    She was about to trouble them once again for the sake of her passion. However, Lucas was different, and she was well aware of that.


    "Thank you. Thank you so much..."


    Lucas gently wiped away her tears. "I want to see you on the big screen. There''s nothing to apologize for when pursuing what you love."


    Melody lifted her head and looked at him somewhat dazedly.


    Lucas gently wiped away her tears and used his index finger to lightly caress her cheek.


    Melody stayed still, feeling his touch.


    "Thank you. You don''t know what your support means to me," said Melody.


    This confession-like statement caught Lucas off-guard. After a moment, he cleared his throat and responded, "Silly girl. I''ll always support you no matter what. You just need to charge forward boldly. No matter what happens, I''ll be behind you."


    Melody fell asleep this time with a content smile.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucas, watching her, felt a bittersweet pang in his heart at how just a nod of support could bring her such joy.
