The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melinda responded with a bitter smile.
Corinne turned and held Jeremy's hand silently. Then, they said goodbye to Emily and left the ward together.
However, Corinne did not leave the hospital. She stood outside the ward, worrying what might happen.
Jeremy understood her worries, so he said, "If you don't want to leave, we can wait outside here. In case anything happens, we can go inside immediately."
Corinne nodded. She believed that Melinda was a reasonable person, but she could not stop worrying.
After Corinne and Jeremy had left the ward, Melinda walked to Emily's bedside as she usually would. "Have you eaten enough, Em? Should I heat up the food for you at the nurse stations so you can continue eating?"
Emily shook her head and looked worriedly at her best friend. She had known Melinda for many years, and she could tell something was bothering her even though Melinda was acting normal.
"I'm not hungry, Mel. Did you...fight with Adam again?"
"No, of course not. Now, take a good rest and stop imagining things," Melinda replied with a smile.
Emily held Melinda's hand. "Stop pretending, Mel. You cried, didn't you? What happened? Did you fight with Adam because of Sophia?"
Melinda's eyes welled up. She wiped off her tears and said, "No, nothing happened! We did have a small argument, but Adam admitted to his mistakes, so we're good now."
"Then why were you crying?" asked Emily worriedly and doubtfully.
Melinda fell silent. She did not want to burden Emily with her family matters.
However, Lilin pouted and said tearfully, "Miss Emily... Someone took my father away!"
'What? Who'd dare take away someone as influential as Adam?' she thought in disbelief.
Fearing she might have misunderstood Lilin, Emily turned to look at Melinda. "Is that true, Mel? What happened? Who took away Adam?"
