After getting out of the car, Lucas carried Melody back inside.
Surprisingly, Beatrice and Cedric had been waiting for them in the living room, even though they were both clearly nodding off with their eyes closed.
"You're back! What did the doctor say?" Beatrice greeted them and walked with them to the sofa.
Melody held Beatrice's hand and said disapprovingly, "Grandma, Grandpa, you should go to bed first. I'm fine, really."
Beatrice's forehead creased with persistent worry. "How could we sleep when you two hadn't returned from the hospital? Don't worry, we don't sleep much at night either, given our age."
As Melody struggled to get down, she said, "Alright, now that I'm back, you and Grandpa can go to bed with peace of mind."
Beatrice nodded, instructing Lucas to take care of Melody before heading back to the room with Cedric.
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to fix you something to eat?" Lucas asked, but Melody shook her head. She did not have much of an appetite, even though she had skipped dinner.
Lucas decided to prepare some hot oatmeal for her later, perhaps during their usual late-night snack time, to fill her stomach.
Shortly after they returned, Raymond also came back carrying Thalia. He looked resentful, just greeting them briefly before hurriedly leaving the living room.
There was a small building adjacent to the mansion specifically built for the security guards and kitchen staff to live in.
Thalia, seeing the two of them quietly sitting on the sofa, could not care less about Melody being nearby and smiled at Lucas, trying to placate him.

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...
