Corinne nodded. "I understand."
Corinne had a clearer idea of what to do. Despite having a finite lifespan, people often get stuck in a certain relationship, leading to sorrow and a lifetime of regrets. At the end of the day, no one could perfectly control their own emotions, and that included herself.
Emily was already awake when they returned to the ward. She got out of bed and covered Lilin with the blanket she kicked off. Then, she gently tucked the loose strands of hair behind the little girl's ear.
Emily could not help but think of her own daughter. 'Moonie should've grown up carefree and peacefully by my side, but because of my own judgment…she had to grow up being mistreated by everyone around her.' The thought depressed her yet again.
It was then she heard the door to the ward open. She turned her head and saw Corinne. Her eyes instantly brightened at the sight of her.
"Moonie, you're here!"
Corinne smiled at Emily, then gently placed Joey on the floor. "Joey, be a good boy and go eat your sandwich with Missus Addison, okay?"
Joey was indeed well-behaved. With Corinne around, there was nothing he feared.
After settling Joey, Corinne approached Emily. "Mom, why did you wake up so early? Missus Addison mentioned you didn't sleep well last night."
Emily feigned a nonchalant smile. "It's okay, I just had a bad dream. I'm not tired anymore."
Corinne decided not to press further for the time being. "Well, let's have breakfast, then. Missus Addison got us some sandwiches!"
Emily nodded. She was not hungry, but the chance to have breakfast with Corinne was something she cherished.
There was a small table in the ward where they gathered, except for Lilin who was still sound asleep.

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...
