Chapter 2006 "I'll pass," said Melody uneasily. "It's kind of awkward if I go in. Why don't you go in alone? I'll wait for you here." Lucas was displeased, evident in his expression. He dragged her out of the car, and they went in together.
Stella had told Lucas through the call that something had gone wrong with the props and that she got injured during filming, so she hoped Lucas could visit her.
Lucas only agreed to visit because she was his friend. However, he worried that Melody might overthink again if she did not go in with him. Hence, he dragged her in so she could see it for herself, saving him the trouble of explaining.

Despite her reluctance, Lucas dragged her to the film set anyway.
However, the film set was empty and oddly quiet.
'Where is everyone? If someone was injured during filming, the crew should be in chaos now,' thought Lucas as he gazed around puzzledly. He then dragged Melody to Stella's dressing room.

"1 even drew the boy on the cake myself!" Melody, who stood behind Lucas, peeked at the cake. The boy drawn on the cake was adorable. It had Lucas' eyes.
"Everyone, let's sing him a birthday song!" On Stella's count, everyone started to sing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Lucas..."
After the birthday song, Stella put the cake aside and grabbed Lucas' arm." What do you think, Lucas? Do you like the surprise I prepared for you?" Lucas looked at the woman, who showed a perfect smile on her face. He suddenly felt like he did not know her anymore.
"Stella, I'm grateful that you've prepared this birthday surprise for me, but don't ever lie tolike that again. It's not funny." Lucas withdrew his arm from her grip and distanced himself from her. X
