Despite Melody's concerns about whether this constant companionship might exhaust Lucas, there was no doubt that Lucas' round-the-clock presence provided her with a strong sense of security, and her mood improved significantly.
Lucas, realizing that his companionship was beneficial to Melody's physical well-being, was very pleased. He felt extremely grateful for heeding Patty's words and noticing Melody's psychological issues.
However, for the past couple of days, Melody had been insisting on going home to rest, unwilling to stay in the hospital any longer.
"You heard what the doctor said yesterday, right? I've already recovered about ninety percent, and the doctor said I can rest at home now!" said Melody.
Lucas was organizing things, and Melody's gaze followed him as he moved.
"Stay in the hospital for a couple more days. And there's one test result still pending. Wait for that report to come in before going home."
Lucas' tone was indifferent, and to Melody's ears, it sounded somewhat ruthless.
…
"But I really want to go home. The doctor said that the pending test is optional. It's only because you insisted on it that I had to do it. Otherwise, I could've gone home today... I miss Grandma and Grandpa. It's been so many days since I last saw them."
Melody was genuinely concerned about Beatrice and Cedric while she was in the hospital. Apart from the two visits they made earlier, she had asked Lucas not to bring them again. After all, they were elderly, and frequent visits to the hospital might not be good for their health.
Lucas set aside the potted plant he was holding and turned to look at Melody. "Didn't you just talk to them on the phone last night?"
Melody blinked; her large eyes filled with surprise. "How can it be the same? Talking on the phone isn't the same as seeing them in person! It's not like I can feel Grandma's warmth through video calls, and I can't hug Grandpa either. I can't even tell if they've lost weight. I need to explain to Grandma why I didn't let her come to see me after I'm home."

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...
