Wendy could not care less about being sued. At the very least, she would have accomplished her target of ensuring that those social media users would doubt her character. Even if the lawsuit succeeds, no one would fully trust Melody again. The seeds of doubt, once sowed, could never be removed.
"Hehe, I still got you in the end, Melody!" Thalia's anxiety manifested in her restless movements. Wendy's words continued to linger in her mind after jolting her awake like a shot of electricity. There should be no reason for her to hesitate anymore. Beatrice was unconscious, making it the perfect opportunity to act.
Melody was bestowed with fame and fortune after the successful movie roadshow, but above all, Melody had Lucas. It would be nigh impossible for Thalia to endure having to watch Melody replace her.
"It's time for you to suffer, Melody," Thalia muttered to herself with a bitter voice. "I'll let you have this fleeting moment of happiness with Lucas as compensation for what will soon happen to you."
The next day, Beatrice was still unconscious, and Melody tended to her alone in the ward. As part of the plan that Melody and Lucas had earlier hashed out, Melody would care for Beatrice after finishing her work, while Lucas would take over from her once he was done with his.
Their shifts allowed Cedric a bit of respite from being confined to the hospital alongside Beatrice. He was old, after all, and letting him stay there would only worsen his health.
Thalia arrived with a fruit basket and expressed her desire to visit Beatrice. The sight of Beatrice's frail figure on the hospital bed brought about a stream of tears from Thalia, and she covered her mouth as if to stop herself from wailing. She seemed to be in some agony because of what happened.
However, Melody ignored her and continued to massage Beatrice's hands, knowing that there was no end to Thalia's drama.

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...
