Corinne answered indifferently, "Nothing."

A dim, complicated light appeared in Jeremy's eyes.

Both of them made eye contact, and the ambiance grew awkward.

Suddenly, Jeremy frowned and looked to the side to cough, which raised Corinne's concern.

"Mister, are you sick?"

Jeremy looked gloomy when he waved dismissively and said coldly, "I'm fine."

Corinne pressed her finger at Jeremy's wrist to feel his pulse. She furrowed her eyebrows.

The cave they were in was wet, cold, and humid. Being a gentleman, Jeremy gave his jacket to her before they fell asleep in the cave. It only made sense that Jeremy caught a cold.

"Mister, you got a cold. Cover yourself with more blankets to sweat it out when you sleep tonight, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

"You can tell just by feeling my pulse?" Jeremy looked at Corinne curiously. He recalled Corinne was certain he was poisoned after he mistakenly consumed the food Sherlyn cooked the last time just by feeling his pulse.

Corinne nodded. "A litt

    Her dream took place when she was a kid.Being sick in her dream, her mother brought her to the hospital. While she had her drip, her mother—having asked if she was hungry—told her she would be right back after buying her a bowl of chicken noodle soup.Before her mother left, she took a good look at Corinne when she was at the door, and her eyes were teary.Her mother's face was blurry in that dream. No matter how hard she tried, she could not see her mother's actual face.After that, Marvin came to the hospital and told her, "I'm your father. Remember that you're a Carew from now on. Do you understand? Now, come with me. I'm bringing you home."She was too young at that time to remember what her last name was. Did she have her mother's last name?All she could remember was her mother gently calling her nickname—'Moonie'. The day she knew her last name was Carew, her name became Luna Carew.When she lived in the convent, Mother Cathrina said her name sounded too cold. 'Luna' mea

    "Mph... Mister…! Mmm…"When Corinne finally regained her senses, her instinct kicked in as she shoved Jeremy away from her. She sat up panting and said unhappily, "Mister! What do you think you're doing?"Jeremy did not reply. He turned around sleepily with his eyes closed and steady breathing.Corinne's eyebrows furrowed at this.'Is he sleeping? Did he dream of his beloved woman and get horny, winding up kissing the wrong person in his dream?' she thought.Corinne's lips twitched as she wiped her mouth in disgust and irritation.'Who allowed him to be in my bed?'They had an unspoken rule that one would sleep in the bed while the other would sleep on the couch.If Jeremy did not have a cold today, Corinne would have very well kicked him out of bed.Corinne grumbled with curses, and when she finally regained her composure, she gazed at Jeremy's face.'He's so deeply asleep. Could his cold have worsened?' she thought.Since the light was not on, she could not exactly see Jer

    For some reason, Corinne felt embarrassed and stopped mid-stretch. She remembered how Jeremy sneak-attacked her with a kiss and kept kicking the blankets off."Heh. Not so good," she answered.'He probably has no idea the things he did last night because he was sleeping so soundly,' she scoffed.Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "Is that so? When I woke up this morning, I saw you smiling in your sleep. I thought you must be having a good dream."Corinne's face reddened. She grew shy as if he had read her mind.Frankly, she did have a nice dream in the later part of the night.Oddly enough, she managed to fall asleep quickly after she stopped Jeremy from kicking the blankets by sleeping on top of him.She dreamt of delicious food, cute little animals, and funny gag performances. It was an entirely different dream from the nightmare she had before. She was very happy in the second dream."Hey, Mister, did anyone tell you it's rude to stare at people when they're sleeping?""No."Corinn

    Annie burst into laughter as she hugged her abdomen, her head raised in laughter. "Was I talking about you? I didn't mention anyone in particular. What makes you think I was talking about you?"Sunny's eyes widened in anger. "You…"Before they could start arguing, Corinne put a stop to it. "Alright. Keep quiet and eat your breakfast. Don't speak when you're eating, or you might choke yourself."Annie nodded obediently and listened to what Corinne said. Sunny, on the other hand, looked at Corinne and snorted proudly before he continued eating his omelet.Meanwhile, Rosie witnessed everything, and evil consumed her eyes. She had no idea what kind of tricks Corinne pulled to mesmerize Jeremy and control Annie, who had always been spoiled. Even Sunny was under her spell and listened to her.The situation was dangerous.Corinne looked pure and naive, but she was a far more powerful adversary than Rosie initially presumed.…The weather was good. The sky was cloudless, and the wind w

    With that, Zeke and the others quickly rode their horses to where Rosie was to take a look.…Rosie sat on the grass. Since she wore short pants, her legs were full of scratches and blood.It was not long until the men arrived.Sunny was the first one to get down from the horse. He approached her and asked worriedly, "Rosie, what happened to you?"With tears in her eyes, Rosie whimpered, "Sunny… I fell when I was trying to put the kite up in the air. I think I sprained my leg. It hurts so badly…"Sunny squatted to help her and examined the bloody wounds on her legs. He furrowed his brow. "Why are you so careless?"Meanwhile, Annie watched what transpired and shot Rosie a look of disdain. "You were right, Corinne. She is up to something bad," she remarked. "Hmph! How hard can it be for her to get up after falling? Also, calling for help? What is she thinking of? Only an idiot like Sunny will believe her!"Corinne remained calm as she held the kite reel. "Come on, let's go and ta

    Sunny nodded and helped Rosie, who was leaning on his shoulder crying, to get up on her feet.Rosie stopped crying and struggled to stand with Sunny's help, but her right leg was in pain, and she just could not stand. Her face turned from pale to green, and her forehead was beaded with sweat. This was not something she could pull off with an act.Sunny pitied Rosie, seeing her suffer so much pain."Rosie, you could've asked me to fly the kite with you if no one wanted to. Why do you have to act so tough?"Rosie endured the pain and said feebly, "Sunny, you're a boy. You won't like to play with a kite; it's too childish. Besides, I don't think it was going to be that hard, so I thought of trying it myself. Heh… I thought too highly of myself. I'm just too stupid."Sunny sighed compassionately and placed Rosie's arm on his shoulder. "Alright, Rosie, stop blaming yourself. I'll help you get up on the horse to get back to the resort so we can have the doctor examine your injury. It's

    There was a moon motif in Jeremy's horse's name. Was that moon referring to the apple of his eye, Luna Rivera?Chasing the moon, and chasing the apple of his eye…Jeremy leaned forward to her ear and asked when he noticed Corinne was zoning out, "What's wrong?"Corinne regained her senses and stroked the horse's mane. "Nothing. This is a good horse.""You like to ride horses?""Yeah. It's not bad," Corinne replied.Suddenly, Jeremy placed his hand on her waist and whispered into her ear, "You didn't have fun this time. We can come here by ourselves in the future."Corinne was stunned. 'Is he confused or something? There are only two months left in the contract, and there won't be any 'us' afterward.'He then grabbed her waist as though checking the quality of a product. He then teased, "Why are you so thin when you always eat a lot?"Corinne was displeased to have heard this. "I don't care."Jeremy chuckled. "Eat more. It's nicer to touch if you're fleshier."Corinne blushed

    Jeremy did not hesitate as he took the phone from Sunny. He turned and walked out of the room to talk on the phone.Corinne looked back and watched as he walked out. She raised her brow while thinking of something.Zeke, who had gone out to contact the hospital, came in and informed everyone, "Don't worry, the hospital is sending an ambulance over. Rosie will receive treatment soon."Sunny looked worried as he gazed at the unconscious Rosie. "Rosie, did you hear that? The ambulance is going to be here soon. It's going to be fine!"However, there was no reaction from Rosie.The doctor went over to check Rosie's condition and massaged her temple. Only then did she wake up with a grimace.Although she was awake, she looked weak and despairing as if she had lost her desire to live. "My leg is done for. Why are you guys trying to save me? Just let me die…""Rosie, don't think like that," consoled Sunny. "You're my sister's best friend! She's going to be sad seeing you like this."Ro

    Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

    "Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

    With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

    Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

    Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

    Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

    "Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

    "Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

    Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
