"Melody is still in the hospital. I need to go to the hospital now if you don't have anything else important to say," said Lucas with a deep frown.
The thought of Melody lying quietly in the hospital bed waiting for him made him even more impatient. How dare Thalia question him why he was so impatient toward her at such a critical moment?
There was a clear sound of the girl sniffing on the other end.
A sudden thought made Lucas' heart soften.
"I'm not annoyed with you. I promise you I'll visit you when I'm free. Melody's sick now, so I have to take care of her, okay?"
Thalia had always been a big crybaby, and Lucas was well aware of it.
"Lucas, have you forgotten what you promised my sister? Before she passed away, you promised her to take good care of me. But now, for the sake of a woman you've only known for a short time..."
Lucas' expression darkened at the mention of Thalia's dead sister. He fell silent. Indeed, he had made that promise.
Thalia's sister would not have died from a heart attack at such a young age if it were not for him. In this regard, Lucas was forever indebted to Thalia's family.
"You don't have to bring her up like that. Do you really think I'd forget what I promised her?"
Lucas' calm tone left Thalia uneasy. She knew how much Lucas disliked people mentioning her sister, yet she did exactly that when he was at his most sensitive.
Melody's appearance had thrown her off-balance. Thalia took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, Lucas. I shouldn't have said that. I know you're not the kind of man who'd forget his promise or my sister. I just feel sad that you went back without visiting me. It's almost November. Are you going to visit me like always?"

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...
