"If I were you, I'd choose to stop here, turn myself in, and repent for my crimes!" Lucas said indifferently, but secretly, his palms were sweating.

He had to appear nonchalant to divert Thalia's attention away from Melody. He feared that she might act out and hurt Melody.

"Hahaha... Lucas, don't you think it's too late to say such things now? Repent? What's the use of repenting now?"

Lucas frowned and asked her if she was not afraid of Claudia coming back to haunt her in her dreams.

"What is there to be afraid of? If I were afraid, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! I've steeled myself that things would change since the moment I chose to overdose Claudia's food with sleeping pills," replied Thalia.

'Claudia, oh Claudia. Don't hate me. You took so much from me, and I just gave you a little punishment. As for Lucas, I'll take good care of him on your behalf. You can just rest in peace,' thought Thalia. Lucas showed a look of disgust. "Do you really think people liked your sister just because of her face? The qualities she possessed are something you'll never have in your lifetime. You'll never be like her!" Lucas' words delivered the final blow, completely shattering Thalia's beliefs. She became overwhelmed with sorrow. "Why are you treating me like this? Why?"

Lucas, neither understanding nor caring about Thalia's pain, simply advised her to stop. "You've committed too many crimes. There will be consequences."

"Consequences?" Thalia sneered. "The only wrong thing I did in my life was falling in love with you. If it weren't for you, I'd be living a happy life now... Huh, you ruined my life, so I'm going to ruin yours too!" Before Lucas could react, Thalia suddenly attacked Melody-who was lying on the bed with a knife hidden in her hand.

Lucas' pupils dilated. He lunged toward the bed, ignoring the gleaming blade.

"You're even willing to risk your life for this

"Youoman, huh? Fine. I'll make

sure you two can never be together for the rest of your lives. I want you two to live in eternal agony!

Thalia's smile turned sinister, fueled by her growing resentment as Lucas continued to risk himself.

Why? What made Melody so great that Lucas would be willing to risk his life for her?

'It was Claudia before, and now it's Melody, while I had never truly been a part of his world,' thought Thalia.

"Our future is none of your concern."

A clear, melodious voice rang out, causing Thalia to look in disbelief at the woman lying on the bed. How could she be awake? She even grabbed Thalia's wrist, rendering her unable to move.

Thalia turned back to look at Lucas incredulously. When she snuck into the hospital, Melody was clearly stil unconscious in her bed. Thalia had even said many harsh words to her and held a knife to her neck. She did not even flinch.

'How could she be awake now? Was Lucas pretending all along? Was this all just a trap to catch me?' thought Thalia.

Seeing Melody unharmed, Lucas finally sighed in relief. At least one worry was lifted from his shoulders.
