Meanwhile, outside the emergency ward.
After a seemingly unending hour passed, the emergency ward door finally swung open, and the medical staff wheeled out the unconscious patient on the hospital bed.
"Miss Corinne, we've managed to save the patient thanks to you," said the chief physician.
Corinne nodded and said nonchalantly, "Glad to be of help."
Lilin threw herself onto the hospital bed. She looked sadly at her mother and kept crying, "Mommy! Mommy!"
The nurse bent down to comfort her. "Don't cry, little girl. Your mommy needs all the rest she can get. You can talk to her after she wakes up so be a good girl and let her rest."
Lilin nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll be a good girl and do as you say."
Corinne walked Lilin to her mother's ward.
According to the medical staff, the hospital managed to contact Lilin's family members, who were rushing over to the hospital as they spoke; they were expected to arrive in the afternoon.
Corinne was relieved to know someone would be coming over to take care of Lilin and her mother. She took that as her cue to leave.
After walking out of the hospital, she took out her phone and made a call to Xante.
"Xante, book me a flight back to New Capital City now."
To say Xante was surprised would be an understatement. "Boss, you want to fly back to the city today? Aren't you going to wait for me to go back together?"
"Sorry, no can do. Also, it's too risky for me to stay at the hotel you've booked for me since my identity might get exposed. Make sure to clean up every trace of my existence from the hotel's record."
"Boss, I've already asked the hotel and they said the masked man you brought back left on his own accord some time ago. Also, all the check-in details I gave the hotel are fake so it doesn't matter if they gave away your details."
"Well done. Now book that flight for me."
"Yes, boss!"
'I'm so happy to hear that Ghostlord is okay. I do wonder when will I be able to see him again,' thought Corinne.

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...
