Anya had calmed down by then, so she went to her mother's aid.
"Lucas, you shouldn't suspect Mom like this! Everyone knows saffron is good for beauty. And it's not like she has a medical background. She only wanted to share the good stuff with Corinne. In any case, it's just a matter of good intention, bad execution."
'Good intention? Her good intention nearly killed the baby in Corinne's womb and caused Sunny to suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding!' thought Lucas. He could not help but feel a sense of revulsion when he looked at Anya.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. The doctor who had given them the test result had come back. "By the way, I forgot to return something to Miss Anya."
He walked over to Anya and took out the bank card from his white coat.
"I'm sorry, Miss Anya," he said solemnly, "but we have rules in the hospital saying we're not allowed to accept bribe money or tamper with test results. I accepted your bank card just now because I was afraid you wouldn't stop harassing me until I accepted it. Now that I've finished my job, I can give this back to you."
All the colors immediately drained out of Anya's face. She did not and would not take back the card because if she did, everyone there would know her true colors. All the years she spent crafting her good girl image would be gone in an instant!
However, she could not think of a way to weasel herself out of this either.

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...
