However, Helen could not do anything to the other daughter in the family. As a stepmother, she had to give a thousand and receive only ninety-nine in return. She had harbored grievances, but every time she thought of her husband, she silently swallowed all her complaints.
She never imagined that some of the sacrifices she made would ultimately make her out to be the villain. Why?
Helen fainted then. When Ethan finally noticed, the tears on her cheeks had not even dried yet.
Ethan had been something of a prodigy in his early years. Unfortunately, ever since his father passed away, which was a severe blow to his family, he too fell into a decline. He wanted to lead the Sanders family back to its former glory, but he was never adept at business. In the company, he could only struggle to maintain the status quo while also being wary of being manipulated.
It was a week later when Melody heard about Helen being admitted to the hospital. She had already finalized her schedule to meet with fans at the studio, and she was meticulously preparing gifts for her fans.
Paige reported the news to Melody while she was wrapping gifts, causing her hands to pause.
"Do they say what illness she has?"
"I heard it's a stroke, and it's taking quite some time for her to recover, so she hasn't gotten better yet."
Melody remained silent for a long while before finally acknowledging Paige's words. Perhaps sensing her mood, Paige did not disturb her further.
At the end of the day, Helen was Melody's mother, and she wanted to go see her.

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...
