"Thalia, your foot is also injured. Let's go to the hospital together," Lucas suggested, realizing that Thalia had mentioned her foot was hurting as well earlier.
However, with only one man present, and Cedric not being an option to carry her, they faced a dilemma.
Beatrice intervened, advising Lucas to take Melody to the hospital first. "Thalia has been standing for quite some time just now, unlike Melody who can't even stand. Thalia's injury isn't probably that serious. There'll be plenty of young, strong guys from the search team who can carry her when they've returned.
"You should bring Melody to the hospital to get her checked out first. After all, she just got out of the hospital and shouldn't be going back in."
Lucas looked to Thalia for her opinion, and although she forced a smile, she did not refuse the suggestion.
She needed some time alone to figure out what to do next. Having lost the support of Beatrice and Cedric, she could not afford to let their animosity continue. As for Lucas, she could feel the balance of his affection tipping toward Melody, which made her uneasy. Thus, Thalia knew she had to come up with a plan.
How could she not hate Melody? Before Melody appeared, Lucas' embraces were reserved for her. Yet, even though he had not known Melody for long, that position had been taken by her.
'Does he really like Melody that much?' wondered Thalia.
As Beatrice had mentioned, among the people sent to find them, there were indeed many young, strong men. Beatrice casually pointed to one of them to carry Thalia, and Thalia accepted the arrangement calmly.
Beatrice mentally sighed in relief. Otherwise, who knew how long they would have to stand there bickering with each other if Thalia refused the arrangement?

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...
