Unexpectedly, the door to the ward swung just as Corinne was about to knock.
A group of men in black walked out of the ward with stuff in their hands. It looked like someone was being discharged from the ward.
Corinne double-checked the room number, making sure it matched what Xante had told her. She then asked one of the men, "Hey, is the person in this room getting discharged?"
The man in black eyed her suspiciously. "Who are you? Why do you want to know?"
"I'm just here to visit the patient in there," replied Corinne.
"Move along! You can't just barge in. Without the say-so from our ma'am and miss, no one steps inside!" retorted the man in black rudely.
'Ma'am and miss?' Corinne immediately knew who he was referring to. "I know them. Please inform them that Corinne is here. They'll let me in."
'Corinne?' The man in black had heard of the name before because he often heard the name being mentioned whenever Sophia and Adam were quarreling.
'Is this the same woman who irks Miss Sophia?' the man pondered while sizing up Corinne.
After a moment's consideration, he gruffly said, "Wait here."
With that, he turned and went inside to seek permission.
Not long after, Melinda and Lilin came out in person.
"Corinne? What are you doing here?"
Emily was unaware of the newcomer. She quietly gazed out the window at the sky, lost in thoughts.
Suddenly, she felt an intense gaze upon her, prompting her to turn. She was momentarily surprised to see Corinne before her eyes welled up with tears.
"Moonie..."
Corinne had almost forgotten about that nickname, but being addressed by her mother in such a way stirred many long-buried memories.
She walked up and looked at Emily, unsure of what to do or what words to say.
Lilin quickly fetched a chair for Corinne and urged her to sit. "Miss Corinne, why don't you have a seat and chat with Miss Emily? I'll go out with my mom to buy some things!"

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...
