"Melody wanted to go and open the door for Beatrice but forgot that she had left her crutches at the entrance. As she stood up abruptly, she lost her footing and fell to the ground. The fall echoed in the quiet night, causing Beatrice's heart to skip a beat.
"Oh my, what happened? Are you hurt? Take as long as you need. I can wait. No need to rush," Beatrice called out.
Melody's knee throbbed from the hard impact. After kneeling for a few seconds, she regained her senses and managed to lift herself up.
"Grandma, I'm fine. It's just a little knock. Please hold on a moment. I'll come and open the door for you now."
Melody struggled to open the door, leaning against the wall for support.
Beatrice's heart clenched when she saw Melody's messy hair and her standing on one foot.
"Oh, my poor child! You look absolutely exhausted." Beatrice's eyes filled with tears as she gently stroked Melody's cheek. "You've lost weight. How can you lose so much weight in just a few days? It's all my fault for only visiting now. I'd have come earlier if it weren't for this cold. You must have been scared, my child."
Melody hugged Beatrice tightly, nuzzling into her neck. "Grandma, you're never late. It makes me happy whenever I get to see you!"
Melody rarely acted like this, and Beatrice patted her back to comfort her. "Come, Melody. Let's go in. It's not good to stand at the door like this."
Melody skillfully used her crutches to guide Beatrice into her dormitory. "Grandma, usually it's just me here. I forgot to prepare a pair of new slippers for you. Would these be okay?"
Beatrice nodded in agreement.

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...
