The doctor brought the test result to Sunny's ward to discuss it with the Riveras. They all stood up and approached the doctor when they saw him coming in.
"The test result on the pomegranate juice has come back, so let me explain the specific cause of the patient's gastrointestinal bleeding."
Lucas nodded. "Yes, please go ahead."
The doctor looked down at the report and continued, "The pomegranate juice is indeed—"
"Wait!" Anya suddenly walked up to the front. "Sorry to interrupt you, Doctor, but I have something to say first."
Lucas frowned. "What are you doing, Anya? Can't you wait until the doctor finishes?"
"No, it cannot!" said Anya determinedly. "What happened today caused my mom a great deal of suffering, so I must seek justice for her!"
Then, without giving a chance for Lucas to say anything, she turned to Corinne and asked with reddened eyes, "Corinne, you were the one who said Sunny ended up like this after drinking the pomegranate juice my mother made, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
The three men present—Jeremy, Lucas, and Maxwell—immediately frowned when they heard what Corinne said.
No one knew what the test result was since Anya cut in before the doctor could announce it. However, one thing was for sure: Jeremy would never allow Corinne to suffer such humiliation even if there was nothing wrong with the pomegranate juice, nor would Lucas allow his precious long-lost sister to prostrate herself to anyone. As for Maxwell, well he thought it was an overkill too. Plus, for some reason, he could not bear to see her kneel in front of everyone.
Phoebe was proud to have a daughter like Anya, who would come to her support when she needed the most. She pretended to cry and wiped her tears before saying generously, "Forget it, Anya. I'm sure Corinne didn't mean to malign me in that way. We'll just take it as she meant well for Sunny and let the whole thing slide."
Anya knew Phoebe did not have any intention to let Corinne off the hook so easily, meaning it was just a show. She said woefully, "No! We cannot forget it just like this. Neither Dad nor Lucas believed you, so I, as your daughter, must seek justice for you. I won't allow any outsider to escape accusing you like that. I can forgive a lot, but not this!"

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...
