The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2524

Cedric was filled with immense regret, wondering if the tragedy could have been prevented if he had followed Beatrice upstairs. At least then he could have tried to catch her when she fell, preventing her from lying here all alone.

At that moment, he thought about many things. Earlier, when discussing matters of life and death with Lucas and Melody, he could still face them with composure. He and Beatrice had already agreed that no matter who left first, the other would follow after arranging everything. However, when everything actually happened, he found himself unable to do it; he could not accept her death.

"You've always bossed me around, so why aren't you telling me what to do now? Get up and tell me what to do! I just had two drinks with Old Freddy, so why aren't you giving me hell for it?"

Cedric's aging face was even more wrinkled. Tears were pooling in his eyes, making him look even more pitiful.

Melody stumbled and fell beside Lucas. She looked at the elderly woman in front of her, wanting to reach out but hesitating to touch her. "Grandma... wake up! What happened? You were fine just now, weren't you?"

Melody's question reminded Lucas, and he stood up with red eyes to survey the surroundings. "Did anyone see how my grandmother fell down just now? Please tell me if you did. I'll reward you handsomely for the information!"

Even though the birthday banquet ended hastily, no one said anything. After all, the Riveras had encountered an unexpected incident, and no one wanted to see such a thing happen. Especially when the typically aloof Lucas said those words with red eyes, it made everyone feel uneasy.

After everyone left, only a few familiar faces remained. Lucas sat down heavily on the sofa, holding his head in his hands, unsure of what had happened. Melody looked at him with deep sympathy, but it was not the time for sorrow! She sat down beside him, gently lifting his face to meet her gaze.

"Lucas, now is not the time for sorrow. We need to figure out whether tonight's event was an accident or if someone deliberately harmed Grandma."
