The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Claudia held her head in anguish, and sank to the ground.
Lucas stepped forward and held her. "It's all over now. All the kidnappers have been caught."
"Is it? Can it really be over? How can my life go back to what it was before?" Claudia forced a bleak smile, while Lucas remained silent.
Claudia pushed him away gently. "You better stay away from me. Just like Thalia said, I'm cursed, and anyone who gets too close to me ends up getting hurt."
Lucas held onto her arm. "Calm down. Your sister is emotionally unstable. Why would you believe what she said? Do you really take to heart everything she said? It was all said in anger. There's no need to take it seriously."
Claudia seemed dazed. It was unclear whether she had taken in Lucas' words. Seeing this, Beatrice could not bear it anymore and pulled both teenagers up.
"Lucas, she's probably not going to listen to whatever you tell her now. How about we go back first, and then find a psychologist for her? It might be more effective to have a professional talk to her than saying these things."
Lucas kept frowning but eventually nodded. Although it seemed like the matter had come to an end, Beatrice could not help but sigh as she watched the dazed expression on Claudia's face and Lucas' constan concern. There was likely more to it than met the eye.
Both teenagers were immediately taken to the hospital. Despite appearing uninjured, having been in the hands of those kidnappers was undoubtedly traumatizing.
Meanwhile, Jimmy was unusually excited. The rescue had gone exceptionally well. He had expected Stan to put up more of a fight, but everything had fallen into place perfectly.
Although Henry's injuries were not
light, they were better than expected. Originally, they had anticipated that all three of them would be injured, but from the looks of it, Claudia and Lucas seemed to be in relatively good condition. They sincerely hoped that nothing serious would happen to Henry as he was the sole provider of the family.
Upon arrival at the hospital, it was discovered that both Lucas and Claudia bore signs of being beaten, though Claudia's injuries were milder. Her more serious issue was psychological trauma. "Grandma, I won't be going back tonight. I'll stay with my classmate for now," Lucas said, watching Claudia being handled by the doctor with some concern. Naturally, his grandparents had no objections. "Just make sure to take care of yourself. The doctor just gave you an antibiotic injection. Don't hesitate to call for help if you develop a fever tonight, understood?" Beatrice reminded him.
Lucas nodded. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
His chest bore signs of being beaten, with some inflammation, so the doctor administered an antibiotic injection. He would be in the clear if he did not develop a fever that night. He was still young, so he would likely recover quickly, so they did not take it too seriously.
