The Day I Kissed An Older Man

As Melinda stepped out, Maxwell approached and asked, "What happened to Emily? Is she sick?"
Melinda glared at Maxwell and replied sharply, "She's not sick. She's injured."
Startled, Maxwell asked worriedly, "Injured? How did she get hurt? Who did this to her?"
"You did!" replied Melinda with a darkened expression.
Maxwell was stunned and ashamed to the point of speechlessness.
Melinda continued angrily, "You caused all this! Emily wouldn't have to entrust Corinne to the Carews if your family hadn't forced her to take desperate measures. Corinne wouldn't have suffered so much from a young age, and Emily wouldn't have gone to confront Marvin, which led her to end up getting slashed by his crazy wife! You've already made things hard enough for Emily. If you have any conscience left, please stay away from her! You've seen it yourself how much she doesn't want to see you!"
Maxwell felt a sense of shame but also confusion. "I admit I've let her down, but why would she avoid me or entrust Corinne to someone else? I've been trying to find her..."
A ball of anger rose up Melinda's chest when she heard that. "Maxwell, how can you even ask such a question at this point? If your family hadn't sent people everywhere to hunt down Emily and her daughter back then, do you think she'd willingly leave her child with someone else? Your family didn't believe in her innocence. Your parents thought she had ruined your family's reputation, and because of that, she can't even return to her own family. She feared bringing trouble to them, so she went into hiding with Corinne! And now, you're here acting innocent and asking me these questions!"
Maxwell was even confused. "Hunted her down? What do you mean?"
Melinda frowned contemptuously. 'Look at him, pretending to be blameless! How could I ever believe he's truly remorseful? No wonder Emily hates him so much!'
"Enough, I'm busy! Emily is waiting for me to call the doctor! If you have even a bit of conscience, stay away, and don't bother her!"
After saying this, Melinda walked past him to get to the nurses' station.
Maxwell stood still as his mind went over what Melinda said.
Sunny, who had been observing from a distance, approached him with a concerned look. "Dad, are you okay?"
Maxwell snapped out of his thoughts, waved his hand, and said, "I'm fine. Let's go home."
Sunny nodded, supporting his somewhat absent-minded father as they walked toward the elevator.
"Sunny, have some men watch over this ward. Make sure they're not alerted of this," said Maxwell sometime after.

the son of both Maxwell and Phoebe. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
Regarding Phoebe and Anya... Well, it was best not to dwell on it.
After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Maxwell remained absent-
minded. No one knew what was going on in his mind.
Concerned about Maxwell, Sunny reached over and waved his hand in front of
his eyes. "Dad, are you okay?"
Maxwell snapped back to reality and glanced at Sunny as if recalling something.
"Sunny, what time is it now?"

Sunny checked his wristwatch. "It's
past four in the morning, almost dawn. Dad, you haven't slept much, salyou should get some good sleep once you're home." However, Maxwell said, "Sunny, I'm not going
home. Take me to the summer villa."
