Finally, the sound of the ambulance siren could be heard in the distance.
"That's enough, Lilin. We should take Miss Emily to the hospital now. We can deal with these two women later," said Melinda quickly to Lilin.
Lilin nodded and ordered the men, "Keep a close eye on them! I'll come back and take care of them later."
"Yes, Miss Lilin!" chorused the men in black.
With that, Melinda and Lilin followed Emily to the hospital.
Marvin immediately came back from the neighbor's house when he heard the loud ambulance siren.
The moment he walked in, he saw fierce-looking men in black lording over his bruised, swollen wife and daughter.
"Who… Who are you all? How dare you barge into my home and beat up my wife and daughter?!" he sputtered out of fear and shock.
The leader had followed Melinda and Lilin to the hospital, leaving his subordinates at the Carews' residence. They had been trained and given the orders to not give out information unless necessary. They simply stared at Lilliana and Sherlyn silently.
"Marvin, save us now! These people are all thugs! Thugs, I say!" cried Lilliana when she saw Marvin.
"Dad, save us! I'm really scared," cried Sherlyn anxiously as well.
Marvin wanted to save them, but he knew he was no match for the fierce-looking, tall, and burly men in black. Thus, he decided to get some backup.
However, just when he was about to turn and leave, he realized two of the men had closed the door. It was obvious they did not plan to let him leave.
Melinda and Lilin could finally take a breather after the doctor told them Emily was in stable condition.
Melinda sat next to Emily's hospital bed and held her hand. "You scared me, Emily! There was so much blood…"
Emily, though awake, felt listless. "Don't be scared, Melinda. I'm fine. Thankfully, your husband arranged for the bodyguards to secretly watch over you and Lilin. Otherwise, we might not have gotten out of there. And it's also a good thing that you and Lilin weren't hurt. Otherwise, your husband will come after me for putting you two in harm's way."
Melinda wiped away her tears. "Nonsense. You should worry more about yourself than me."
Lilin breathed another sigh of relief when she saw how Emily still had the strength to tease her mother. 'Oh, thank god Miss Emily is okay…'
Suddenly, the door to the ward was rudely pushed open. A figure rushed in, bringing with him a chill to the room.

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...
