Melody paused. She turned back and asked, "What? What do you want to say?"
"S… Sor…"
Even though Helen could not finish her sentence, Melody could guess what she was trying to say. She just smiled faintly. At that moment, she suddenly found herself able to move on. Whether Helen felt sorry for her mistake no longer mattered.
After all, the years of hurt and pain Melody had to endure over the years could not be simply offset by a simple apology.
"It doesn't matter anymore. It's been so many years. But don't think for a moment that your simple apology holds much weight. I just want to let you know that my life is good now. That's because I've distanced myself from all of you. As for what lies ahead for you, I'll take care of it. After all, you did give me life. As for anything else... Well."
Melody did not think she was being cruel at all. She was just speaking the truth. It was precisely because she had found peace that the past no longer cast its shadow over her heart, allowing her to speak so calmly to Helen. Whatever Helen might think, it no longer concerned Melody.
Melody breathed a sigh of relief as she opened the door, smiling again only when she saw Lucas. From then on, her happiness would only be connected to the man before her, and the pain of the past would no longer haunt her like a ghost.
Seeing Melody's relaxed expression, Lucas stood up and went to greet her.
"How did it go?"
"Quite well. She can't say anything nasty to me now. Even speaking seems difficult for her. But I can't help feeling that the Sanders are a bit heartless. They didn't even arrange for a proper caregiver, and they chose this hospital." She sighed. "I wonder if she regrets anything now..."
This was the last time Melody would feel sorry for Helen. She did not harbor as much resentment toward Ethan, partly because she had long been disappointed in him. Her father never treated her fairly. In fact, he seemed to despise her very existence.

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...
