As they neared Helen's hospital ward, Melody involuntarily slowed down, and Lucas matched her pace.
"What should I do? I'm a bit afraid to see her," Melody said, head down, her grip on Lucas' hand tight as if drawing strength from him.
"Don't be afraid. I'll be with you every step of the way," Lucas reassured her.
Melody took a deep breath. She was the one who decided to visit Helen, so how could she give up halfway when she was already standing outside her hospital ward door?
Regardless of how Helen was doing, Melody knew she had to see her. After all, her mother had given her life, so how could Melody abandon her when she needed her the most?
Besides, no matter what happened in the past, Melody would finally be able to bid farewell to the past after fulfilling her duty as a daughter one last time. With this resolve, Melody knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Helen blinked as she looked towards the door, but the hospital ward was empty. Even if she had heard something, she could not speak.
"Cough, cough—"
Melody and Lucas exchanged a glance. "Is there no one inside?"
Lucas already had a feeling. There probably was not anyone there to care for Helen. "Let's just go in."
Melody had mentally prepared herself for the worst, but when she pushed open the door and saw Helen lying there, unable to move more than her head, with no one to care for her, she could not help but feel a pang of sadness.

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...
