Melody blinked, allowing the tears to roll down her face and soak into her hair. "I really thought I was going to die."
Lucas gently wiped away her tears. "As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."
"But you were in Molomia at that time. You were so far away..."
Melody had been holding onto the fact that Lucas left for Molomia without saying a word to find Thalia. Their argument might have been their last interaction if she had not woken up.
Lucas was immediately filled with regret when he recalled the fight they had before parting. "It won't happen again. I promise I'll let you know in advance before I go anywhere," Lucas assured.
This time, he was not making empty promises. After the recent events, he had decided to stay in the country for the long term, at least until Melody finished shooting her movie.
He had thought that providing ample funds to the crew would ensure a smooth shooting for Melody. However, he realized he had been too naive; the entertainment industry was much more complicated than he had anticipated.
Without a powerful backing, Melody would surely be picked apart until not even her bones were left.
"Really?" Melody's eyes lit up. She knew that Lucas was not staying solely for her, but hearing him say that still made her happy.
Lucas nodded and tucked the covers around her again. "All you need to do now is rest. I'll handle things with the crew, so you don't need to worry."
Melody nodded, but her expression showed some reluctance.
"What's the matter?" Lucas asked.

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...
