The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1793

"Mel, Lilin, let me see! Are you two okay?"

Adam had rushed over the second his subordinate told him what happened. He was so afraid for his wife and daughter's lives that his heart trembled throughout the entire car journey to the hospital as though he was about to have a heart attack.

He pulled Melinda and Lilin toward him and studied them carefully to make sure they were okay.

Melinda's heart softened upon seeing how concerned Adam was toward them. She allowed him to do as he pleased as she said, "We're okay. Only Emily is hurt."

Emily smiled weakly at Melinda. "See, what did I tell you? It's a good thing you and Lilin are unhurt. Otherwise, your husband would've had me answer for the crime."

Melinda blushed at the statement.

After he finished checking Melinda and Lilin, Adam looked at Emily disapprovingly. "You again! You want to do something risky? Fine! But why did you have to drag my wife and daughter with you?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect that the Carews would be so unreasonable. This won't happen again," said Emily sincerely.

"Huh! You better not!"

Adam's gruff demeanor toward the injured Emily displeased Melinda. She pushed him away and said, "That's enough. Emily's hurt and needs all the rest she can get. Don't talk to her so loudly!"

Adam looked at Melinda. "I told you to stay away from her, yet you didn't listen! Would she have run away from her husband if she were a virtuous woman? She's a bad influence on you! She must've instigated you to run away from me too!"

He did not care how his words would hurt Emily's feelings at all. Then again, why should he care about her?

Melinda knew what Emily had gone through over the last few years, and she empathized with her. Thus, she could not bear to let Adam insult Emily so easily.
