"Grandma is still in the hospital, her condition unknown. We can't just sit around and wait." Melody's words brought Lucas back to reality.
"You're right. Grandma has always been healthy. She couldn't have fallen down the stairs like that..."
Thalia felt an ache in her heart seeing Lucas like this. Despite knowing him for so many years, she had never seen him so worn out like a trapped animal unable to find a way out. She took a few steps forward, wanting to comfort him, but hesitated upon hearing their conversation.
In the end, she mustered the courage to cautiously voice her opinion, "Grandma Beatrice is old, and accidents like this can happen. I know it's hard to accept, Lucas, but you should also understand that your grandparents aren't getting any younger.
"Of course, I'm not saying that an accident couldn't have occurred, but I just want to tell you that even if Grandma Beatrice did fall accidentally, you shouldn't blame yourself too much. They're both at an age where these things can happen."
Thalia's somewhat convoluted speech caught Quinn's attention. She glanced at Thalia in silence. Ever since she learned that Thalia had killed her sister, she felt her longtime friend had suddenly become a stranger.
At that moment, she had no idea what Thalia was thinking. 'Thalia's never the one to speak so cautiously like this, so why is she acting like this now?'
Deep down, Quinn subconsciously suspected that this incident was somehow related to Thalia. However, after some thought, she realized that it was highly unlikely.
Firstly, Beatrice was Lucas' grandmother, and he cherished her deeply. Thus, if Thalia harmed her, Lucas would surely be devastated. Thalia could not bear to see Lucas in pain; just seeing him frown made her frown too, as if she wanted to shoulder everything for Lucas.

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...
