Helen felt regret and anger in her heart. 'Why? Why did I let myself be blinded and invest my whole being into such a family? If... If I had treated Melody a bit better, maybe I wouldn't have fallen sick and left uncared for.'
Ethan and Wendy avoided Helen like the plague, afraid of catching even a trace of her illness.
"Me?" Melody breathed a sigh of relief, buoyed by the presence of Lucas waiting outside, which lifted her spirits. "I'm doing fine now, although you might not want to hear that. But ever since leaving the Sanders', every day of my life has been better than before."
Helen could discern Melody's state. If she had to pay for her mistakes in the first half of her life, she hoped her only daughter would have a smooth second half. She wished Melody would never return to the Sanders' again.
It was a pity she did not have the right or the strength to tell that to Melody anymore. Helen closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face again.
Melody sighed. She found the whole thing ironic.
"I'm going to ask you a few questions. If the answer is yes, blink your eyes twice. If it's no, blink once," said Melody.
Helen opened her eyes and looked at her daughter.
"Have they arranged for someone to take care of you?" she asked.
Helen blinked twice.

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...
