Corinne helped Lucas, who was hopping on one foot, out of the orthopedic department to a chair so he could rest for a bit. The doctor had ordered an X-ray of Lucas' foot.
Lucas was not keen on sitting; he wanted to go straight to the X-ray room.
Corinne immediately stopped him when she saw he was about to put his injured foot down. "Don't move. The doctor said you shouldn't put pressure on that foot until we have the X-ray result."
Lucas believed the doctor was overreacting. "A few steps won't hurt," he insisted.
"No. Stop! Don't move!" Corinne cried out in a panic.
Lucas did not dare to disobey Corinne's order, so he sat back down.
"Stay here, and don't move. I'll go get you a wheelchair," said Corinne gruffly.
Lucas smiled and nodded. 'I would've gotten hurt earlier if I knew I'd receive this kind of treatment from her.'
Corinne got a wheelchair for the nurse. She then helped Lucas onto it and wheeled him to the X-ray room. She made sure to carefully support him throughout the whole process.
Lucas did not feel like his level of injury warranted Corinne to treat him like that, but there was no denying that he enjoyed her caring for him. This was something he never thought he would get to experience in this life.
After the X-ray session was done, Corinne wheeled Lucas back to the orthopedic department to show the doctor the X-ray result. Even without the doctor's expert eye, she could tell Lucas had injured his foot based on the result.
The doctor diagnosed Lucas with a minor bone fracture. He ordered the nurse to put his foot in a cast and prescribed some pain medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine for him. The only precaution Lucas would need to take was to avoid putting pressure on his foot for a month, which meant he would not be able to walk properly until he recovered.

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...
