"Oh, you're awake, Miss Melody. Just as well. I happen to need to draw your blood. Both you and your husband can go back to sleep after that." Melody nodded embarrassedly and dared not make eye contact with Lucas, who was standing by her bed. She had been secretly gazing at his sleeping face for more than half an hour.
Lucas stared intently at Patty's hand as she drew blood from Melody. The moment Melody's brow furrowed, he could not help but say, "Can't you be more gentle?" Melody was a little taken aback.

"You don't need to worry about these things. Just remember: you're the victim here, and you haven't done m anything wrong I'll take care of the rest and let you know." Lucas' words were like a confidence boost to Melody. His warmth transferred to her through their joined hands, providing her with even more comfort.
