"Saffron has a lot of benefits, so it's possible that the amount of saffron in that glass of pomegranate juice wasn't too heavy for my body. That may be why I didn't have any symptoms, and all my indicators are fine too."
Lucas insisted, "Even if that is the case, I still want to read the report. Bring it to me."
Anya refused to take the report, however, so she sneakily held her mother's hand.
Phoebe understood her daughter's action and spoke up for her. "I know you're worried about Anya's health, Lucas, but there's no need to be so anxious when she's assured us that she's fine. You won't see anything in the report anyway."
Her words carried no weight in Lucas's eyes. He had an impatient look as he spoke in a slightly harsher tone, "Get the report from the doctor right now. Don't make me repeat myself."
Anya's unwillingness to take the report was telling because no protocol in the hospital prevented her from taking the report back.
Lucas noticed something was not quite right with Anya when she resisted going for the check-up but did not read too much into it at the time. However, he grew more suspicious when he saw Anya's uneasy reaction.
'Could there have been other ingredients in that glass of pomegranate juice that would only affect a woman's body? Is that why Anya was so afraid of getting a check-up because that substance must've been recorded in the test?!'
Corinne merely took a sip of the juice and spat it out, rather than drinking it outright. However, if there were other active ingredients in the pomegranate juice, there was no guarantee that those ingredients would not have any effect on a pregnant woman even if it was not swallowed!
Lucas began to fear the worst when he thought about that. He could not accept that his long-lost sister would be at risk of something terrible, even if the risk was not very high!
Although Maxwell did not understand why Lucas was so adamant about it, he did not want to see his children be at odds over such things. He thus said, "Anya, your brother cares about you a lot, and it's not that difficult for you to get the report for him if he wants to see it. Just do it so he can set his heart at ease."

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...
