"What's going on here? Everything was fine before, how did it get like this? We need to get you to the hospital right away!" Lucas, seeing the severity of the wound, could not afford any delay.
"Huh!" Thalia brushed off his hand. "Lucas, you don't need to worry about me. I'm fine. Even if it hurts like hell, it's my business. You don't need to take care of me."
She attempted to push him away and head back to her room.
"What's gotten into you? Now that you're injured, you should go to the hospital. You weren't hurt before, so of course you were wasting medical resources. The doctor wasn't wrong to say that! Don't you realize what the problem is?" asked Lucas.
Lucas watched her gritting her teeth in pain, feeling both frustrated and compelled to act. Since she was not willing to listen to him, he decided he would take her to the hospital whether she liked it or not.
Thus, he reached out and pulled Thalia up, ignoring her struggles, and dragged her toward the garage.
"Lucas, leave me alone! Let me suffer in my room! Let go of me, let go of me!" Thalia resisted, while Melody, hearing the commotion downstairs, came out of her room to see what was going on.
She did not expect to see Lucas gripping Thalia's hand. She gripped the railing tightly, her knuckles white with tension.
"Don't move. Grandpa and Grandma are resting. It wouldn't be good to wake them up," Lucas said. Only then did Thalia obediently follow him.
Melody watched them leave from upstairs. After they were out of sight, she took a sharp breath and staggered back a few steps. Her left foot, which should not have been bearing weight, accidentally touched the ground during her moment of distraction, causing a sharp pain in her ankle.
Physical pain often provided an outlet for emotional distress. Melody sighed and forced a bitter smile. Then, she quietly made her way back to her room alone by using the wall as support.

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...
