Chapter 1996

Melody had been in more frequent contact with Edmund and enlisted his help in many tasks. She was well aware of Edmund's capabilities, and she knew he could easily step in to teach Wendy a lesson. However, she was determined to handle the matter herself. She had to learn how to fight back against her bullies, or she would never grow.

For some reason, her smile made Lucas' heart ache. It was as if she was a fragile doll who could shatter at a slight touch.

He ignored her protest and strode outside with her in tow.

Melody did not resist. Her face turned bright red when she looked down in a daze on their intertwined fingers.
