The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1795

Melinda shook her head. "No, I don't feel comfortable letting a caregiver take care of her. Emily is my best friend. She's like family to me! I can't leave her here alone!"

Adam scoffed. "You've always cared more about her than you did to me! Would you have gotten into harm's way today if it weren't for her?"

Melinda frowned. "Here you go again. Lilin and I are fine! Plus, it's not like Emily did it on purpose!"

"I don't care whether she did it on purpose or not! I'm not going to stop worrying unless you stop hanging out with her!"

"That's your problem! I'm not going to leave until Emily gets discharged from the hospital!"

As much as Adam was upset about how stubborn Melinda was, he had no choice but to surrender.

"Fine. You can stay here with her. I'll get my bodyguards to protect you. I'll come here to see you when I have the time. Are you happy now?" he said with a sigh.

Melinda's heart softened at Adam's willingness to compromise. "It… It's best if you don't come. I don't want Emily getting hurt by what you say."

"What if I promise I won't say anything to her?"

"You really don't have to come. I'm sure you have a thousand other things to do. Plus, Sophia needs you too."

Adam's face darkened. "Don't bring her up! She's too stubborn to listen to me. I told her to let Zachary go, and we ended up having a huge fight!"

Melinda was stunned. "What? You told her to let Zachary go?"

Adam nodded. "Yes. I really gave what you said some thoughts. It really dawned on me that I've been spoiling her too much. Plus, Zachary must feel for his real wife what I feel for you. That means he's not going to fall for Sophia, which means she's never going to experience real love if she continues to restrain him like that."

Melinda was touched that Adam finally came to his senses. "I'm glad you've finally understood. As for Sophia, just talk to her. Hopefully, she'll come to her senses too."

Lucas was about to leave the hospital after visiting Maxwell. He did not expect that he would run into Adam there.

Ding! The elevator door opened.

Lucas pulled away his gaze coldly and went in.

Melinda noticed Adam's darkened expression, so she asked, "What's the matter? Who was that young man? Do you know him?"

Adam snapped out of his thoughts, and put his arm around Melinda's shoulders. "That young man is the eldest grandson of the Rivera family. For some reason, he's been stirring up trouble for my company over the last few years."

'The eldest grandson of the Rivera family? That means he's…'

Melinda's gaze wavered. "Brian, can you find out why he came to the hospital?"
