Chapter 713
Knock! Knock!
A knock was suddenly heard outside the door.
“Mister Lucas, it’s me,” said Edmund.
Lucas snapped out of his trance and said, “Come in.”
Only then did Edmund dare to enter Luna’s room.
The tired-looking Lucas pinched the space between his eyebrows. “How’s Joey doing?”
“The doctor said Mister Joey’s head injury is quite serious as there were signs of him experiencing a mild concussion. After stitching up his head and giving him some medicine, the doctor advised us to bring Mister Joey home to recuperate since he didn’t seem to be too happy to be staying in the hospital. It’s best if Mister Joey can stay in a place where he’s most familiar while he’s healing. The only precaution we need to take note of is to make sure no water comes in contact with his wound and to bring him back to the hospital every day for the nurse to change his bandage.”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. ‘That poor kid. He has been injured so many times, with each time more serious than the previous, ever since he was adopted by this family.’
“Did the doctor say what was the thing that caused the injury?”
“He said it doesn’t look like Mister Joey was cut by a weapon and that his injury was most likely caused by him bumping his head into a table with sharp corners.”
Lucas knitted his brows together. He had just received confirmation about his suspicion and yet he could not help but feel disappointed. ‘So it turns out Anya was lying and Corinne wasn’t the one who hurt Joey after all.’
At the same time, he was feeling a little relieved because there was a slim chance Anya was not the one who hurt Joey either. The little kid could have accidentally bumped into a table and Anya decided to use this to frame 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...
