The Day I Kissed An Older Man

As they rode the elevator, Sunny told Corinne, "Just try to cheer up Dad as best as you can. I'll be standing guard outside."
Corinne frowned and glanced sideways at him. "Why do you need to stand guard outside? It's not like we're doing anything shameful."
Sunny shook his head. "No, no. It's not that. I'm just afraid Lucas will find out about this. He's definitely going to beat me up then. He warned me several times yesterday not to bother you with this matter, but... for my dad's sake, I had no choice."
Corinne simply scoffed.
Ding!
The elevator door opened.
Sunny led Corinne to Maxwell's ward. When they went in, the servants were trying to coax Maxwell into eating, but he simply laid and stared at the ceiling as if he did not hear anything.
Sunny sighed helplessly, then cleared his throat to attract attention, which made the servants retreat automatically.
Sunny led Corinne to the bedside and said to Maxwell, "Dad, Luna's here to see you."
Maxwell's pupils shrank, and he turned to face them. He was stunned to see Corinne standing behind Sunny, but his expression softened as if he somewhat expected it.
He smiled at Corinne and said, "Thank you for coming."
Corinne was in a very calm mood when she first arrived at the hospital, feeling that whether Maxwell lived or died had nothing to do with her. However, when she saw his weak and pale face, she could not help but feel pressured.
Sunny pushed Corinne forward, then said, "I'm going to stand guard outside the door. You two have a good chat. Call me if you need anything."
He quickly slipped out of the room.
Corinne stood next to the bed and looked at Maxwell indifferently, silently.
"Have a seat," said Maxwell with a gentle smile.

Corinne simply shrugged and asked, "Mister Maxwell, what happened? Why did you want to take your life?"
"I wanted to see my wife and daughter whom I haven't seen for many years. I thought they were no longer alive," said Maxwell with a wry smile.

you're saying you're doing this out of love? From what know, your wife Q and daughter have been missing for
almost twenty years, so aren't you a little late to the party?" Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

eyes and asked cautiously, "Do you...hate me very much?"
