Melody smiled faintly since Lucas was essentially agreeing to her request.
However, she still looked exhausted, and after talking to Lucas for a while, she started nodding off again.
"Sleep if you're tired. I'll be here with you," Lucas said, patting her head.
In his rarely gentle gaze, Melody reminded him to let Beatrice and Cedric know she was okay.
"I'll let them know in a little while," Lucas assured her.
"No, do it now. They must be worried sick about me."
Lucas nodded, and Melody could finally fall asleep in peace.
Looking at Melody's sleeping face, Lucas could not but put a finger under her nose to make sure she was still breathing.
He feared that like before, Melody's breathing would be faint. The doctor had mentioned that when she was first brought in, her breathing was almost imperceptible.
Lucas could not imagine what his expression would have been like if he had been present at that moment.
Before this, Lucas never considered how important Melody had become to him. He finally realized he could not bear to lose her; even the thought seemed unacceptable.
"Get better soon, and then tease me all you want again, alright?" he said, his gaze tender and his actions gentle.
After watching Melody sleep peacefully for a while, Lucas left the hospital room to call his family.
"Hey, Grandma."

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...
