Lucas sat quietly by Melody's bedside, watching her sleep for half an hour.
Before leaving, he sought out the attending doctor and the nurse. They were both waiting outside the room, ready to do his bidding.
"Mister Lucas."
"Mister Lucas.
Lucas nodded in acknowledgment. "I need to go home for a while. I'll probably—"
He glanced at his watch. "I'll probably be back within an hour. Please make sure to keep an eye on my wife's condition during this time. When she wakes up, just tell her I'll be back soon."
Both the doctor and nurse nodded. It was their job, after all.
Lucas swiftly left the hospital and drove back home.
…
"Hello, sir. Welcome back."
Lucas waved his hand, signaling the household staff not to bother with greetings.
He went to his room carrying a bag and packed up some of Melody's belongings. Given how weak she looked, it would be best if she stayed in the hospital for a few more days for observation.
Afraid of any oversights if he asked someone else to pack Melody's things, Lucas came back personally. He packed quite a bit because he wanted to make Melody's hospital stay as comfortable as possible.
Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Thalia.
"Hello?" Lucas answered the phone.
He was worried that Melody might wake up and find him missing again. Thus, he was surprised to hear a soft sob on the other end.
"Lucas…"
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did something happen?"

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...
