The two did not have to wait long. Claire's wound could have been treated quickly, but due to her public figure status and the desire to avoid obvious scars on her head, they had to use cosmetic stitches to handle it delicately.
As soon as Claire emerged, she loudly called out Sherman's name. Sherman immediately stood up and walked to her bed, helping wheel her into her ward along with the other nurses.
"Miss Claire, how are you feeling now? Are you still feeling dizzy?"
Seeing this, Rita also went over to help. However, as soon as Claire saw her, her smile turned sour. "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here. I came to take care of you since you've been admitted to the hospital. After all, Sherman's a man and might be clumsy in many ways, unlike us women who are more detail-oriented. Plus, we still need to clear up the misunderstanding from before. I need to explain to you properly that I didn't steal Sherman from you."
Claire lay on the hospital bed, her mouth twisted with anger. 'Does she really think I'm a fool? Ugh, the way she pretends to care about me makes me sick! How shameless can she be to be standing there and spouting all these so-called grandiose reasons?'
"I appreciate the thought, Miss Rita, but I don't need your care. Sherman and I have known each other for many years. We've always taken care of each other when one of us is sick, so we're very familiar with each other. In fact, I felt a bit dizzy the moment you appeared. Maybe it's because our vibes don't mix well together. Sherman, you better get Miss Rita out of here quickly."
Rita looked at Sherman helplessly. She had never heard such ridiculous excuses before. She thought Claire should just be honest if she did not like her instead of talking about 'incompatible vibes'.
After the nurses escorted Claire to her room, they instructed her not to move around, to just rest quietly, and left.
Sherman remained silent, curious to know how Rita would handle the matter. However, Claire interrupted her before Rita could finish her sentence.
"Are you incapable of understanding human language? I said I don't want you to take care of me. Plus, why are you even doing this? Are you trying to make me give up on Sherman?"

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...
