Lilin was still reeling from the shock of the car accident so she could not take in anyone's words. She cried even louder and shook her head fiercely. "I want my mommy! I want my mommy! I want to go inside to my mommy!"
The nurse was at a loss for what to do. She tried to coax her gently, "The doctor is trying to save your mommy right now. You just have to wait here until she comes out since kids are not allowed into the emergency ward. Be a good girl and listen to me. Wait here quietly. You might affect your mommy's treatment if you keep crying and shouting like this."
Her words did not affect Lilin. She continued to cry for her mother. "Mommy! I want my mommy!"
The nurse became frustrated. She was at her wit's end.
"What's going on here?" Corinne asked after she came over.
The nurse looked at her and sighed helplessly. "There was a serious car accident on Third Avenue. This little girl's mother sacrificed herself to protect her. My guess is she's not going to make it out of that room alive."
Corinne's face became glum when she heard the nurse's prognosis. "Why don't you leave this child with me? I'll wait here with her while you go back inside to do your work."
The nurse looked like she was just saved. "Oh, thank you so much! She has been pounding on the door so much that it's greatly affecting the doctor's work. I was at my wit's end trying to get her to calm down."
"You're welcome. I was just here visiting a friend so I don't mind staying a bit longer to make sure the kid is alright," Corinne said casually.
"Great! I'll leave her to you then." The nurse smiled gratefully at her before hurrying back to the emergency ward.
"I want my mommy! I want my mommy!" The little girl started crying again when she saw the nurse going back into the emergency ward. She tried running after her but was stopped by Corinne.
Corinne got down to her level and put her index finger to her lips. "Shh! We have to be very quiet, okay? Your mommy will be out very soon so let's just wait here for her."
Lilin was a little startled by Corinne's appearance though that did not stop her tears from falling down her cheeks. "My mommy's bleeding a lot."
"I know, sweetheart and the doctors and nurses are trying their very best to save her. They're going to give her some new blood so don't you worry about it, okay? Speaking of that, you wouldn't want your mommy to worry about you too, right? So let's put away those tears and wait here quietly, okay?"
"But I'm scared, scared she's going to die!"
Corinne patted her lightly on the head in a bid to make her feel better. "She's not going to die. Don't worry. Your mommy loves you very much so she won't ever leave you alone."

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...
