Corinne was completely speechless. The absurdity of the situation gnawed at her bones like a bitingly cold wind. The image of Lilin sobbing her heart out while she was waiting for her mother to come out of the emergency ward appeared in her mind, causing her to take a deep breath and say, "Okay, I promise you."
Lucas let out another satisfied smile. "Your resolve impresses me, Miss Corinne. I trust that I have your word. Let's go."
Corinne nodded, turned around, and headed straight to the elevator. Lucas followed her into the elevator and just like that the two of them made their way down to the blood collection room. It was eerily quiet in the elevator as there were only two of them inside.
Lucas thought he should say something to break the silence so he casually asked, "Are you friends with the car crash victim."
"Nope. I don't even know who she is," replied Corinne emotionlessly.
This surprised Lucas very much. He looked at her in disbelief. "You don't know who the car crash victim is? Did you seriously agree to get rid of your baby just to save a stranger?"
Corinne glanced at him. "She has a daughter about five or six years old. My heart breaks just thinking about all the hardships she has to go through if she loses her mother at such a young age. Thus, I'm willing to do whatever I can to help her."
Her words struck a sympathetic chord in Lucas's cold, cold heart. He started to think about Luna, who until now he still had no idea whether was dead or alive. 'I wonder if mom is still alive? I hope she is for Luna's sake.'
It was a long while before Lucas regained his senses. Before this, he never believed anyone would be kind enough to save a stranger. He thought all the news reports about kind people doing kind things for others were fake.
"Mister Lucas, what are you still standing there for? Don't tell me you regret your decision to donate blood?" asked Corinne with a frown when she noticed Lucas did not follow her out of the elevator.
The question pulled Lucas out of his reverie. He noticed the elevator door was wide open, prompting him to quickly step out.
"No, I don't regret my decision. I'm the type who always makes good on his promises."
"Good to hear that."

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...
