The sudden turn of events caught Lucas off guard. He swiftly mobilized several employees from his company to assist in the investigation. Edmund, with a tablet, gestured at the screen and explained what he had discovered of Melody's movements.
A pang of heartache pierced Lucas as he watched Melody's figure on the screen—she was completely oblivious to the fate that would befall her.
"She couldn't have just vanished into thin air. Zoom in to the first and last two minutes of the video. I want to see how she was taken," Lucas demanded.
The surveillance footage revealed no trace of Melody beyond a certain point, indicating she had not left of her own accord.
"Stop—zoom in here," Lucas commanded. Edmund complied, and the screen displayed a scene with a nurse pushing a hospital bed with what was presumably a recently discharged patient.
"Didn't you notice that this was suspicious?" Lucas questioned sharply. Before long, the notion that he had brushed shoulders with that nurse struck him like lightning.
"It's her!"
The patient that was being pushed out on the bed was covered from head to toe. Lucas finally came to realize why he found that nurse a little peculiar. A nurse would never usher out a bed with a deceased patient so blatantly in the public hallways, and no patient would necessitate being covered so tightly from head to toe.
There could be only one explanation—Melody was the person on the bed. That meant he had walked past Melody! He regretted that he had not paid just two extra seconds of attention, for that brief moment could have been the key for him to realize that something was amiss.

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...
