Melody did not remain unconscious for a long time. However, during the two-or-so hours she was out of it, every minute and every second made Lucas feel like an eternity.
Lucas flew back from abroad, working tirelessly for several days. Exhausted, he rushed to the hospital and found himself dozing off by her bedside while holding her hand.
That way, Lucas immediately sensed when Melody was waking up.
"Mmm..." Melody's fingertips twitched, and Lucas, feeling the activity, sat up straight.
"Are you awake?"
Melody's brow furrowed as if she was in a great deal of pain. "Mm..."
Melody moaned softly, and Lucas became even more concerned. He could hardly imagine how terrifying it must be for someone to face the agony of drowning.
Melody's eyeballs moved, and she blinked her eyes open.
Her gaze fell on a sea of white, and she struggled to make sense of where she was. Then, she heard the familiar voice of a man beside her.
"Melody...you're awake. Are you feeling any pain?"
Lucas' eyes were bloodshot, a detail that Melody noticed as soon as she made eye contact with him.
"Why are you back? Where... Where am I?" Melody asked.
"This is the hospital. You were unconscious after drowning. You just woke up. Do you feel any discomfort?" Lucas replied.
Melody was still a bit dazed. She wanted to shake her head to assure him that she was fine, but as soon as she did, she realized she was very lightheaded.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
