Lucas contemplated in silence. The director and producer were both perceptive enough to leave him alone. He was a strong force in the business world, and he injected investments for many film projects.
Seldom did one see his plans falter once he set things in motion, as things would generally go his way.
Lucas remained with the crew until dusk before heading back, thinking Melody must have fallen asleep.
At the hospital, Patty organized the daily records and was surprised to see Lucas' return. She whispered, "Your wife is now asleep. If you need to discuss anything with her, do save it until tomorrow morning."
Her words were a gentle reminder in the hopes that Lucas would stay with Melody in the ward. That might help Melody sleep a little more soundly that night.
Melody had earlier found it difficult to sleep when Lucas was not around. She tossed and turned, which was more than enough for Patty to sense her restlessness. Patty stayed in the ward and talked to Melody about unrelated matters in the hopes of diverting her attention.
By nearly ten o'clock, Melody finally went to bed, frowning even in sleep. Patty could not understand why they just had to argue when they were supposed to have a strong bond.
Lucas acknowledged the nurse's words with a nod and entered the ward quietly. As he approached the bedside, he observed Melody's restless slumber and gently brushed his fingers across her forehead.

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...
