Unsurprisingly, it was the first time Beatrice and Cedric came across the secret room as well, but they managed to piece things together nonetheless.
They exchanged glances and sighed. They did not answer Sunny as they did not know how to answer him.
It was not like they could tell him that his father secretly built a room behind the bookshelf because he did not want to sleep in the same bed as his wife, could they?
They finally understood that over the years, their son had been sleeping in a different bed with the wife they forced him to marry.
Sunny decided not to probe further when he did not get any answers from his grandparents. Instead, he stared thoughtfully at the secret room.
The servants quickly brought the medicine and water to Maxwell. After forcing some water down his throat, Maxwell choked, coughed, and opened his eyes.
Beatrice and Cedric sighed in relief when they saw him waking up.
Beatrice stepped forward and held his hand.
"Maxwell, you're finally awake! You nearly scared me and your father to death! What's wrong with you? Why did you shut yourself up in that dark room and drink so much?"
Maxwell tried to focus his eyes as he looked at Beatrice. After that, he looked at the people around him who were staring at him and frowned.
"I'm fine. All of you can get out now!"
"How can you still say you're fine when you're not? Look at how pale your face is! You drank so much and didn't even eat a bite, right? Do you know that drinking can kill you?" exclaimed Beatrice with distress.
Maxwell sat up and patted her hand. "Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

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...
