As Melinda stepped out, Maxwell approached and asked, "What happened to Emily? Is she sick?"
Melinda glared at Maxwell and replied sharply, "She's not sick. She's injured."
Startled, Maxwell asked worriedly, "Injured? How did she get hurt? Who did this to her?"
"You did!" replied Melinda with a darkened expression.
Maxwell was stunned and ashamed to the point of speechlessness.
Melinda continued angrily, "You caused all this! Emily wouldn't have to entrust Corinne to the Carews if your family hadn't forced her to take desperate measures. Corinne wouldn't have suffered so much from a young age, and Emily wouldn't have gone to confront Marvin, which led her to end up getting slashed by his crazy wife! You've already made things hard enough for Emily. If you have any conscience left, please stay away from her! You've seen it yourself how much she doesn't want to see you!"
Maxwell felt a sense of shame but also confusion. "I admit I've let her down, but why would she avoid me or entrust Corinne to someone else? I've been trying to find her..."
A ball of anger rose up Melinda's chest when she heard that. "Maxwell, how can you even ask such a question at this point? If your family hadn't sent people everywhere to hunt down Emily and her daughter back then, do you think she'd willingly leave her child with someone else? Your family didn't believe in her innocence. Your parents thought she had ruined your family's reputation, and because of that, she can't even return to her own family. She feared bringing trouble to them, so she went into hiding with Corinne! And now, you're here acting innocent and asking me these questions!"
Maxwell was even confused. "Hunted her down? What do you mean?"
Melinda frowned contemptuously. 'Look at him, pretending to be blameless! How could I ever believe he's truly remorseful? No wonder Emily hates him so much!'
"Enough, I'm busy! Emily is waiting for me to call the doctor! If you have even a bit of conscience, stay away, and don't bother her!"
After saying this, Melinda walked past him to get to the nurses' station.
Maxwell stood still as his mind went over what Melinda said.

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...
