The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Melody is still in the hospital. I need to go to the hospital now if you don't have anything else important to say," said Lucas with a deep frown.
The thought of Melody lying quietly in the hospital bed waiting for him made him even more impatient. How dare Thalia question him why he was so impatient toward her at such a critical moment? There was a clear sound of the girl sniffing on the other end.
A sudden thought made Lucas' heart soften.
"I'm not annoyed with you. I promise you I'll visit you when I'm free. Melody's sick now, so I have to take care of her, okay?"
Thalia had always been a big crybaby, and Lucas was well aware of it.
"Lucas, have you forgotten what you promised my sister? Before she passed away, you promised her to take good care of me. But now, for the sake of a woman you've only known for a short time..."
Lucas' expression darkened at the mention of Thalia's dead sister. He fell silent. Indeed, he had made that promise.
Thalia's sister would not have died from a heart attack at such a young age if it were not for him. In this regard, Lucas was forever indebted to Thalia's family.
"You don't have to bring her up like that. Do you really think I'd forget what I promised her?"
Lucas' calm tone left Thalia uneasy. She knew how much Lucas disliked people mentioning her sister, yet she did exactly that when he was at his most sensitive. Melody's appearance had thrown her off-balance. Thalia took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, Lucas. I shouldn't have said that. I know you're not the kind of man who'd forget his promise or my sister. I just feel sad that you went back without visiting me. It's almost November. Are you going to visit me like always?"
In November, which marked the anniversary of Thalia's sister's passing, Lucas would always fly to Molomia a week in advance to accompany Thalia in reminiscing about her sister.
Lucas mentally sighed at the thought of the girl who had sacrificed herself for him. "Yes. I'll be there. Just like last year."
"That's great!" cried Thalia happily. Gone were her tears. She no longer felt that Melody was a formidable rival.
It had been many years since her sister's death, and Lucas still had not found anything suspicious about it. The only person in the world who knew about that incident had also left forever. Thus, there was nothing for Thalia to fear.
'As long as I have patience, Lucas will be mine,' thought Thalia with a sly smile.
Lucas, however, was completely unaware. He was quite exhausted by the time she hung up, and he stood up to leave.
He had only spent about ten minutes sleeping by Melody's bedside, but he still felt rejuvenated when he woke up.
Melody had always had this effect on him, consistently providing him with positive energy.
