Lucas wanted to refuse Thalia's suggestion. To his surprise, Melody paused for a moment and instead suggested that she and Quinn stay.
"Just as Thalia said, we need all the help we can get right now to find evidence. We'll also need to take Grandpa's shift at the hospital to look after Grandma after she wakes up. With so much going on at home, it's indeed overwhelming."
Even though Beatrice was still lying in the hospital, her condition uncertain, Melody's words calmed Lucas' mind. It was as if telling him that his grandmother would wake up for sure.
"You're right. After Grandma wakes up, both of us will have to help Grandpa look after her. After all, he's getting old and can't be at the hospital all the time," Lucas said, nodding in agreement.
After thinking about it, he looked up and gratefully glanced at Thalia and Quinn. "Thank you for offering your help. We might just really need it later on."
Quinn was pleasantly surprised and smiled, waving her hands. "It's already a pleasant surprise to receive the invitation today. I'm more than willing to help you. Just let me know what you need."
Thalia, however, could not muster a smile. It was she who offered to stay and help, but after what Melody said, it seemed like she was the one persuading Lucas to let them stay.
'Does she really think she's the mistress of the household?' thought Thalia. Even if they did end up staying, she was not feeling good about it.
"I'll have Raymond bring over all the surveillance footage," Lucas said, getting up.
He needed something to occupy himself with. Otherwise, he would just be waiting at home for news from the hospital, and that would drive him crazy.

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...
