Despite Melody''s concerns about whether this constantpanionship might exhaust Lucas, there was no doubt that Lucas'' round-the-clock presence provided her with a strong sense of security, and her mood improved significantly.


    Lucas, realizing that hispanionship was beneficial to Melody''s physical well-being, was very pleased. He felt extremely grateful for heeding Patty''s words and noticing Melody''s psychological issues. However, for the past couple of days, Melody had been insisting on going home to rest, unwilling to stay in the hospital any longer.


    "You heard what the doctor said yesterday, right? I''ve already recovered about ny percent, and the doctor said I can rest at home now!" said Melody.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Lucas was organizing things, and Melody''s gaze followed him as he moved.


    "Stay in the hospital for a couple more days. And there''s one test result still pending. Wait for that report toe in before going home."


    Lucas'' tone was indifferent, and to Melody''s ears, it sounded somewhat ruthless.


    "But I really want to go home. The doctor said that the pending test is optional. It''s only because you insisted on it that I had to do it. Otherwise, I could''ve gone home today... I miss Grandma and Grandpa. It''s been so many days since Ist saw them."


    Melody was genuinely concerned about Beatrice and Cedric while she was in the hospital. Apart from the two visits they made earlier, she had asked Lucas not to bring them again. After all, they were elderly, and frequent visits to the hospital might not be good for their health.


    Lucas set aside the potted nt he was holding and turned to look at Melody. "Didn''t you just talk to them on the phonest night?"


    Melody blinked; herrge eyes filled with surprise. "How can it be the same? Talking on the phone isn''t the same as seeing them in person! It''s not like I can feel Grandma''s warmth through video calls, and I can''t hug Grandpa either. I can''t even tell if they''ve lost weight. I need to exin to Grandma why I didn''t let here to see me after I''m home."


    Beatrice had been a bit upset during Melody''s recent calls to her. She felt that she was perfectly healthy and could easily take care of Melody in the hospital. However, both Lucas and Melody disagreed, so she had to give up.


    "Don''t worry, Grandma was just joking. She won''t be mad at you," Lucas reassured.


    He was not opposed to Melody going home, but he could not rx until the pending report was avable. This was despite the doctor''s assurance that it was not crucial.


    "You really won''t let me go home now, huh? How about you take me home for a while, and then bring me back in the evening? We can stroll in the garden with Grandma and Grandpa, have tea, and y some chess with them!"


    Melody sought apromise, hoping for a breath of fresh air at least.


    Given her request, Lucas found it hard to refuse.


    "Is that all you want to go home?" asked Lucas with a hint of amusement.


    Melody pouted. "I''d like to see if you wouldn''t want to go home for a breath of fresh air if you were stuck all day inside the hospital! Oh, ugh, I shouldn''t have jinxed it. I hope you never get admitted into the hospital!"


    Melody quickly pped her own mouth. She did not want to joke about Lucas'' health.


    Lucas was amused by her antics and walked over, smoothing her forehead.


    "Alright, since you''re so eager to go back, I''ll take you home for a while. But you have toe back in the evening. We''ll discuss your discharge tomorrow after getting that report, okay?"


    Melody did not expect Lucas to actually agree. Her eyes lit up, and she could hardly contain her excitement. "Really? So you''ll let me go home?"
