Jeremy did not allow Corinne to exert herself and help him, so he sternly replied, "I'm not that weak, you know? Don't worry about me. It's just a minor injury. I want to change your mother's first impression of me."
Corinne smirked. "I'm rooting for you, then. Do your best to win her over!"
"I'll give it my all." Jeremy smiled.
When they returned to Emily's ward, Jeremy once again drew everyone's attention there as he changed into a hospital gown, much to Emily, Melinda, and Lilin's confusion.
Jeremy stepped forward gracefully and placed the gifts down on the bed. "I got these for you, ma'am. I hope you'll like them."
Emily leaned on the bed and looked at the gifts that Jeremy had placed down. It was then that she understood why Jeremy had excused himself earlier—it was to get her some gifts.
"You're so considerate! You didn't have to go through all that trouble, you know?"
"Thank you, and apologies again for earlier," Jeremy answered.
Corinne could not help herself from holding in a chuckle whenever she heard how docile Jeremy was when speaking to Emily. She could never have imagined that Jeremy would have such a well-behaved side. It warmed her heart to think that Jeremy was doing that because of her.
Since Jeremy had bought all the stuff and given it to Emily, she accepted it unequivocally so as not to hurt his feelings. After accepting the gift, she asked, "Why did you change into a hospital gown after going out to get all that stuff? Did an accident happen?"
Jeremy shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious. Don't worry."
Emily frowned. She was still confused and worried about everything.
Corinne glanced at Jeremy and said, "It'll be fine. My mom is a reasonable person. Besides, there's no use hiding anything when you're dressed in a hospital gown! She'll be even more worried if we don't tell her the truth, and she'll start having all sorts of random thoughts."
Emily nodded. "She's right. Could you please tell me what happened?"
Corinne finally answered, "We ran into Sophia."
The mention of Sophia prompted Emily to look at Melinda, who was Sophia's stepmother.
Melinda's expression soured slightly, and she was just as curious to know what had happened. "What happened with you and Sophia? Did she hurt you again? You don't have to be scared about telling me the truth. I'll tell her father to teach her a lesson later."

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...
