Meanwhile, at the hospital, Corinne talked with her mother while Jeremy sat quietly on the side and peeled some apples for them. Despite Corinne's insistence that he should strain his injured arm, he brushed her concerns off and assured her that he was fine. Nonetheless, his arm injury led him to skip work in the afternoon and delegate his tasks to his subordinates.
Evening soon came, and Corinne was contemplating what to order for dinner when a knock was heard on the ward door. Jeremy rose to answer it, and his face turned cold when he saw that Adam had visited them.
Adam's attitude was just as sour. He scrutinized Jeremy from head to toe and seemed to pay a particular focus on his legs before sneering, "Your legs seem just fine. Kudos for putting on that act!"
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and retorted, "I had no reason to be honest with you people."
Adam was about to mock him further when Melinda intervened promptly. "Mister Jeremy, I brought him here to apologize to you and Corinne."
'Apologize?' Jeremy thought to himself. He doubted whether Adam truly understood the nature of all those transgressions. He nevertheless nodded at Melinda and went to sit by Corinne's side.
Melinda then led Adam into the ward and closed the door.
Corinne became wary when she saw Adam, and Melinda smiled awkwardly before offering, "We've brought dinner. You and your mother should eat some."
Adam wore a sullen expression and seemed reluctant to speak. Lilin held his hand and urged him, "Go ahead, Dad! Be a good example for me!"
Adam reluctantly looked at Lilin before turning to Jeremy and Corinne. He then mumbled, "I'm sorry. I've caused your family so much trouble in the past three years. It's entirely my fault, and I apologize for it."
Adam spoke quickly and without much sincerity.
Corinne exchanged a knowing look with Jeremy, then raised her eyebrows and focused on Adam's unapologetic demeanor. She finally turned her gaze to Melinda and said, "Do you expect me to forgive him just like that?"

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...
