"What?" Thalia looked up, surprised by Melody's sudden question. Melody seized the opportunity to ask further.
"Why are you so insistent that Grandma fell by herself? Did you see something you're not telling us?"
Thalia quickly changed her demeanor to one of apparent grievance.
"I didn't see anything. I just think Grandma Beatrice is old, and I know we all don't want this kind of accident to happen, but that's just life. I also know Lucas listens to you now, so whatever I say, you both think it's wrong. I'm fine with that, but it's also precisely because he listens to you that you should advise him. Or do you really want him to keep worrying like this?"
"Is that so? Is that what you think?" asked Melody.
There was no way Melody would be easily fooled by Thalia, given their past history. She had already suspected Thalia, but she could not say anything since she did not have any evidence yet. After all, Thalia might take it as Melody causing trouble for her.
Lucas touched Melody's hand lightly. "Let it go. It's more important to find evidence now. If we can't, we'll just have to wait for Grandma to wake up."
"Grandma will wake up," Melody said confidently, looking at Lucas as she spoke.
Lucas felt his own resolve strengthened with her assurance.
"You two should go back now since we've searched through the surveillance footage and found nothing. It'd be pointless for you two to continue sacrificing your sleep," Lucas said firmly.

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...
