"Food poisoning?" Lucas turned to Mandy.
Cedric and Beatrice had always been under Mandy's care, and she was responsible for their daily meals.
Mandy quickly stood up, waving her hands in explanation. "Mister Lucas, I truly had no idea! I've always been cautious about your grandparents' health and never gave them anything from outside. How could this happen?"
Mandy was anxious to defend herself. However, she lacked evidence to prove her innocence and could only gesture nervously.
'Contaminated food? I made breakfast this morning. Is this happening because of me?' thought Melody suddenly.
She glanced at Mandy, who looked visibly concerned. After a moment of hesitation, she stood up and timidly said, "Um... I prepared breakfast this morning, and I also cooked dinner last night. I don't think this has anything to do with Mandy."
Lucas raised an eyebrow, silently gazing at her.
In truth, he trusted Mandy. After all, she had been taking care of Beatrice for so many years, and their bond was deep. It seemed implausible that she would resort to poisoning her.
However, Lucas could not extend the same assurance to Melody.
After entrusting Cedric and Beatrice to Mandy's care, Lucas led Melody out of the ward and into the corridor.

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...
