Anya looked visibly unwell and she was seeing stars, but she still shook her head and refused. "No thanks! I'm fine! I don't need to have a check-up..."
Corinne dragged her to follow the doctor. "Look at you, Miss Anya! Must you insist that you're fine when your complexion is that bad? You're going to make others worry about you! It's just a check-up, not an operation. What are you so afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid! I swear I'm fine! I don't need to go..." Anya was unable to express her worries, but she knew Corinne had an ulterior motive for making that suggestion. She was worried that she would walk into a trap if she went.
Lucas then said in a booming voice, "You've been told to go, so just do it! There's nothing wrong with getting a checkup."
Anya continued to struggle. "I'm fine. I'm not feeling sick at all..."
Lucas frowned. "Then we can always check to see if there are any potential issues. I don't want you crying that you're unwell when we get home!"
He was beginning to lose a lot of patience with Anya. In the past, the care and love he had for his long-lost sister, Luna, had been directed to Anya. However, with Luna's return, that same care and love was redirected from Anya and toward Luna instead.
As impatient as he was toward Anya, she was still his half-sister whom he grew up with. He knew she was frail, so he still had some concern for her. Anya frequently complained about having discomfort, so it was better to get her checked up. That would save everyone the frustration of having to bear with her repeated complaints when they got home.
Anya did not have any other excuse to refuse after Lucas insisted on sending him to the doctor.

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...
