Melody had made her stand clear. She would rather stay in the dormitory than at home. She did not like Thalia, and Lucas regretted not taking her feelings seriously earlier.
"Gasp..." Thalia woke up, but Lucas pressed down on her shoulder with a serious expression before she could move.
"Don't move. Your wounds have just been bandaged. I'll call the doctor to come and check on you."
Without waiting for Thalia's response, Lucas immediately called for the doctor.
Thalia's face lit up with a satisfied smile. Despite getting injured, the outcome was worth it. She knew Lucas cared about her after all.
'Oh, Claudia. I have you to thank for Lucas caring about me so much!' thought Thalia.
"Doctor, could you come and check to see how she's doing now?" asked Lucas.
The doctor came to examine Thalia and then turned to inform him, "Mister Lucas, there's no need to worry. Your wife has just regained consciousness, so some discomfort is normal, especially since she sustained a head injury. She just needs to have some rest for now, and our nurses will come to change her bandages on schedule."
Upon hearing the doctor refer to her as Lucas' wife, Thalia could not help but smile smugly. However, in the next moment, she put on a shy expression. "Doctor, you've got it wrong. I'm not his wife…"
The doctor glanced awkwardly between the two of them before apologizing, "Oh, I'm sorry, I mistook you two for a married couple. My apologies."
Lucas did not pay much attention to what the doctor said. After the doctor left, he sat down beside Thalia again. "How are you feeling now?"
However, it was precisely because of this favoritism from Shaun that Melody found herself in a predicament. On the bright side, the same ordeal further solidified Lucas' belief that Melody was a pushover instead of a bully.
"Lucas, you don't seem to believe me, so why are you asking me? You should go ask Melody what happened!" Thalia exclaimed, her face filled with indignation as if she held a deep grudge against Melody. She even turned her face away.
Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, Lucas felt a sense of helplessness. "Alright, the doctor said you shouldn't get too worked up. I won't bring up Melody again if you don't like me doing that."
Thalia turned around and said, "Yes, I don't like Melody, but do you know why I don't like her? You only talk about how good Melody is and how you believe she wouldn't do such things. What about me? Do you think I caused myself to end up like this?"
Thalia was visibly distressed, her eyes even turning red. "I thought as soon as I woke up that you would investigate this matter, but who would have thought you already concluded that Melody is innocent without even asking me? What's the point of asking me then?"

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...
