Brian Addison refrained from starting another argument with his wife since she still did not fully recover from her injuries. He simply sat by her bed with Lilin in his lap and kept apologizing to her.
The hospital dean personally came over to greet Brian when he got news of his arrival. "Mister Brian, I didn't know this lady here was your wife."
Brian stood up and shook hands with the hospital dean. "Thank you for saving my wife's life!"
"You're most welcome but we're just doing our jobs."
"By the way, my wife told me a lady insisted on donating blood to save my wife's life even though she was pregnant. Where is that lady now?"
"I wasn't there when it happened but I did hear about the lady you're talking about. I'm not sure who she is, but what I can tell you is she registered her name under Corinne Carew."
"Corinne CarewQ That's more than enough for me to go on. I'll arrange for my men to look for her so that I can thank her properly."
The hospital dean nodded. 'I do hope Mister Brian manages to find her. That girl deserves all the good karma coming her way.'
Even though Brian might look like a scholar, he was an exceptional figure who played for both sides of the law. The hospital dean did not doubt that Corinne would greatly benefit from being the Addisons' savior.
…
A few days later.
Corinne deliberately chose a bright and sunny day to drop by the Lovelaces' house, since she promised Edgar that she would visit Gertrude whenever she was free. She also took the opportunity to ask the old servants there for information about her mother.
According to the old servants she asked, Emily spent the first few years happily married to Maxwell. After that, they started fighting more and more and Emily would often bring Corinne and Lucas back to the Lovelaces' place to stay for a few weeks.
Their quarrel started because of a woman. Her name was Phoebe Stewart and she happened to be Emily's best friend and the mother of Anya and Sunny. Corinne also learned Phoebe married Maxwell not long after Emily went missing. With this information in hand, Corinne deduced Phoebe must have engineered Emily's disappearance for herself to marry Maxwell.

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...
