The police dogs entered the cave. Jeremy and Corinne followed suit.
The cave was enveloped in darkness, and there was the smell of burning wood in the air. As the police illuminated the space with powerful flashlights, they saw the dog cage in the cave and the ashes of burnt firewood.
At the sight of the dog cage, Corinne's eyes stung with tears. "They must've kept Joey in this dog cage! D*mn it! How could they treat a child like this?!"
Jeremy's expression did not look good either.
The police dog, sniffing around, barked twice after catching a peculiar scent.
Sunny moved forward to investigate with the police. He saw a puddle on the ground.
'Is that...the kid's pee?' thought Sunny.
The intuitive connection between mother and son allowed Corinne to grasp the situation immediately upon seeing the puddle. "That must be Joey's pee. He left it as a scent trail for us! Since it's still wet, it means they haven't gone too far!"
"Yeah, they shouldn't be too far. Men, have the police dogs get familiar with Joey's scent and intensify the search!" added Jeremy.
"Yes, Mister Jeremy!"
…
On the other side of the mountain, the balloon seller—looking visibly exhausted—trudged down with Joey on his back; his breaths becoming heavier with each step he took.

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...
