"I'll try to do it as quietly as possible."
Since it was for a medical examination, Lucas had no objections. With a frown, he brought Patty to Melody's bedside just as she was rubbing her eyes awake.
"Oh, you're awake, Miss Melody. Just as well. I happen to need to draw your blood. Both you and your husband can go back to sleep after that."
Melody nodded embarrassedly and dared not make eye contact with Lucas, who was standing by her bed. She had been secretly gazing at his sleeping face for more than half an hour.
Lucas stared intently at Patty's hand as she drew blood from Melody. The moment Melody's brow furrowed, he could not help but say, "Can't you be more gentle?"
Melody was a little taken aback. She exchanged a glance with Patty. The truth was, Patty was already being gentle. It was just that there would inevitably be some discomfort when the needle entered the vein.
Seeing Lucas looking worried and his face darkening, Melody had to explain, "I'm fine. It's not that painful, and Patty is doing the best she can."
Patty was not upset either. She understood that some family members were prone to get overly anxious about their loved ones. She quickly pressed a cotton ball onto Melody's arm before leaving to avoid being a third wheel.
After Patty left, Lucas sat down by Melody's bedside, his large hand pressing and rubbing on the cotton ball.
Melody finally noticed something was off with his expression. He was staring dazedly at the puncture wound on her arm.
"It just looks painful, but it's no different from a mosquito bite," she said softly.
"Don't lie to me. How can it be the same? You must tell me right away if you're injured in the future."
Melody nodded. "What happened last night?"
Lucas glanced at her then lowered his head, seemingly hesitant about whether to tell her.

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...
