"It's quite a long distance from here to the hospital, so it'll take some time for the ambulance to arrive. Lucas, why not have Sherman take Melody back? Do you want to see me pass out from the pain? Lucas…"
Lucas' frown deepened.
"Lucas, Miss Stella looks like she's really in a lot of pain. You should take her to the hospital. Don't worry, I'll make sure Melody gets safely back to her set," advised Sherman.
Stella pretended to plead, "Ah... Melody, I beg you. Considering how much pain I'm in, please let Lucas give me a ride this time. Aren't we friends? You can't just stand by and do nothing..."
Seeing her curled up like a shrimp, Melody—fearing that something might really happen—nodded to indicate that she had no objection.
Lucas then said, "Let Edm—"
"I'm going with Sherman," said Melody.
Even though Lucas' expression did not change much, Melody could still sense his annoyance when he swept his cold, stern gaze quickly across her face.
'Is he irritated that I've chosen Sherman?' she wondered.
Melody did not understand why he was angry. Did she make a mistake in agreeing to let him take his childhood sweetheart to the hospital?
'Why is he looking at me like that when I've made the best decision for him? After all, in the end, he'd choose Stella anyway,' thought Melody.
Unable to understand the emotions in Lucas' eyes, Melody grabbed her bag and left with Sherman.
"Let's go. I need to get back to the film set," she said.
Lucas' face darkened considerably, and Stella could not help but avoid his gaze.
"They've already left, Lucas. Can you take me to the hospital?" She held onto Lucas' sleeve with one hand while the other continued to cover her abdomen. She looked like she was genuinely in pain.
"Have Edmund drive you to the hospital since you don't need an ambulance and just require my car."

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...
