As Melody stood frozen in place, Lucas gave Stella a shove, attempting to push her away slightly.
It was then Stella spotted Melody standing not far away. Her gaze suddenly turned sinister, and she deliberately leaned closer to Lucas, playfully saying, "Lucas, look over there. Isn't that Melody standing there?"
At the sight of Melody, a moment of panic flashed through Lucas' eyes. That earlier scene would appear ambiguous to any observer.
Melody stared at them for a while, then briskly walked up, thrusting her phone into his hand before turning away.
"Melody!" As she walked away, Lucas knew she must have misunderstood. He pushed Stella aside and turned to chase after her. Stella, having just achieved her goal of making Melody see the misunderstanding, was not going to let the man go so easily.
"Ah!" Before Lucas could take a few steps, Stella suddenly screamed and collapsed into his arms. "Lucas, help!"
After saying this, Stella immediately 'fainted'.
Witnessing this, Lucas helplessly turned back. No matter how he tried to shake her, Stella remained completely motionless. Lucas could not just ignore her, so he could only watch as Melody disappeared from his sight.
"Edmund!" Lucas shouted, and Edmund immediately ran in from outside, appearing by his side.
Lucas pushed Stella into Edmund's arms. "Take her to the hospital."

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...
