As Melody stood frozen in place, Lucas gave Stella a shove, attempting to push her away slightly.
It was then Stella spotted Melody standing not far away. Her gaze suddenly turned sinister, and she deliberately leaned closer to Lucas, playfully saying, "Lucas, look over there. Isn't that Melody standing there?"
At the sight of Melody, a moment of panic flashed through Lucas' eyes. That earlier scene would appear ambiguous to any observer.
Melody stared at them for a while, then briskly walked up, thrusting her phone into his hand before turning away.
"Melody!" As she walked away, Lucas knew she must have misunderstood. He pushed Stella aside and turned to chase after her. Stella, having just achieved her goal of making Melody see the misunderstanding, was not going to let the man go so easily.
"Ah!" Before Lucas could take a few steps, Stella suddenly screamed and collapsed into his arms. "Lucas, help!"
After saying this, Stella immediately 'fainted'.
Witnessing this, Lucas helplessly turned back. No matter how he tried to shake her, Stella remained completely motionless. Lucas could not just ignore her, so he could only watch as Melody disappeared from his sight.
"Edmund!" Lucas shouted, and Edmund immediately ran in from outside, appearing by his side.
Lucas pushed Stella into Edmund's arms. "Take her to the hospital."
"Yes, sir." Edmund promptly led Stella away. Stella, feigning unconsciousness, was unwilling to leave like this. However, she could not wake up. If Lucas found out that she was pretending, the longstanding affection between them would truly be shattered.
After handing Stella over to Edmund, Lucas headed toward the hotel. He needed to explain this situation to Melody and clear any misunderstandings between them and Stella.
Just a few steps out, his phone rang. "Hello," he answered.
"Mister Lucas, all the executives are here, waiting for you."
Today's meeting was crucial. If anything went wrong, it could affect the company's development goals for the second half of the year.
Glancing in the direction Melody had left, Lucas hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he spoke into the phone with determination, "Alright, I'm coming."
After ending the call, Lucas stood still for a minute, gazing in the direction of the hotel, then resolutely turned and left.
