At that moment, Corinne raised her head and, spotting Pamela, was stunned. Despite feeling weak, she feebly greeted, "Grandma? Why are you here…?"Before Pamela could say anything, Francine stepped forward with her arms on her waist and scolded, "Corinne Carew! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? The Holdens would never allow a sl*t like you to be part of the family!"Sunny looked pleased with the result and joined in, saying, "Corinne, you're caught red-handed! Stop pretending!"Corinne's eyebrows furrowed. At that moment, she did not have the energy to argue with them.Unlike the others who barged into the lounge, Jason stood quietly and watched them before turning his attention back to Corinne. She looked pale, still. He was amazed by the relationship between her and the people who barged in. Gradually, he connected all the dots.After he helped Corinne to sit steadily, he got up and smiled. "Hello, ma'am. I didn't know you were coming. Why didn't you send someone to notify me in a
When Francine knew her grandmother, Pamela, was going to believe what Corinne said, she quickly cut in. "Grandma, don't listen to her! Don't let her lie to you again. If she was sick, why didn't she go to the hospital? Why did she instead stay in this room with another man? Our family would never allow such a shameless woman into the family. Corinne Carew is a bad person. She didn't just have an affair; she even stole Rosie's watch yesterday. Ask Rosie about it!"Rosie, pretending to be generous and forgiving, shook her head. "Ma'am, I'm fine. It's just a watch, and it's not really that expensive. Though, what Corinne has done now… It's unforgivable. She betrayed Jeremy."Corinne's face was as white as a piece of paper. Still, she managed a smile as she continued to ignore Rosie and the others. Pulling the blanket away from her, she tried to stand up. "You may choose to not believe me, Grandma, but I'd never do anything that would bring shame to the Holdens."It was haunting for Pam
Rosie was sure this was the climax of this escalating tension. She felt a sort of joy when she felt Corinne's misfortune approaching. 'This is karma for ruining my watch! Won't it be nice if I can actually say she deserves it?'Rosie pretended to sigh and approached Jeremy, attempting to console him by saying, "Jeremy, don't be angry. No one expected Corinne to betray you…"Jeremy glanced at her for just a second before looking back at Corinne. He said coldly, "Come here."Despite all that happened, Corinne was very calm. She expressed her gratitude to Jason, who helped her, and slowly walked toward Jeremy as she was told. "Mister…"Before she reached Jeremy, however, a dizzy feeling hit her, and she nearly fell again. Jeremy's long arms managed to catch her, and he pulled her to his form, furrowing his eyebrows as he did. "Is this what you got? Why is your body so weak?"The sick feeling overwhelmed her, and it did not help that Jeremy mocked her for being in such a state. If she
Having known there was no major problem with Corinne's body, Pamela was finally able to rest her heart.On the other hand, it showed that Corinne was not pregnant. The old woman sighed regrettably. Her great-grandchild would have to wait until next month, at the earliest.Since things did not progress the way Sunny expected, he was not able to give up. He walked over and said, "Jeremy, before you arrived, Corinne was lying in here with that man. No one knew what they were doing in here before we came. You should divorce that shameful woman!"Jeremy looked back at him. "Why are you not in school? Why are you paying so much attention to my wife?"A chill crawled up Sunny's back. He gulped. "I…I took a day off today!"Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "To stalk my wife?"Sunny mumbled, "I…I accidentally spotted her, so I decided to follow her. Then, I saw her meeting other men…"The expression on Jeremy's face remained unchanged. He squinted. "Sunny Rivera, let me remind you. She's married
Jeremy gave Jason a light response. "When did you come back?"Jason walked to him with a cheerful smile. "Over a week ago. I came back in a hurry and didn't have the time to look for you, Zeke, and the others!"Jeremy felt alright. "No worries. We can do that when you're free."Jason smiled again. "Actually, we met each other when we were in Twilight the other day. You were too busy and occupied at that time, so I didn't think it was appropriate for me to greet you.""Is that so?" There were no changes to Jeremy's expression, but a hint of coldness flashed by his long eyes.They did see each other from a far distance when they were in Twilight. It was the day Corinne lost when she played a game with other people in the Snow Room. The 'punishment' she received was to kiss a man, and the man she chose was, in fact, Jason.Jason said, "I heard that you just got married. Too bad I missed the wedding."Jeremy's lips curled into a small smile as he said, "That's not a problem at all.
Jason rushed over with a middle-aged man who was carrying a first-aid kit. "My doctor has just arrived, Jeremy. How about you let him check on dear Corinne's condition?"'Did he just call her 'dear'? I'm her husband, but I've never even called her that before.'"I won't trouble you." Jeremy lifted Corinne into his arms and walked right past Jason.Jason knew that going to the hospital was the last thing that Corinne wanted, so he rushed up to them and intended to persuade Jeremy.However, Tommy turned around and stopped him. "Mister Jason, I hope you won't worry too much about Mister Jeremy's wife. Mister Jeremy instructed me to call an ambulance, and it's already waiting outside."'Ambulance?' Jason narrowed his charming eyes and looked at Jeremy's rear figure as the man left with Corinne in his arms. Jason remained in pensive thought and said nothing....Corinne's expression became even uglier as she lay on a stretcher in the ambulance.Her sour expression stemmed not from h
Inside the emergency room, the doctor on duty applied a bit of pressure on Corinne's lower abdomen, asked her if she felt anything locally, and told the nurse to fetch another doctor to feel her pulse.The elderly doctor frowned after being called over to check on Corinne. He turned to Jeremy, who was standing at one side, and asked, "Has she been taking a lot of supplements recently?"The hours Jeremy spent at home could be counted on one hand, so he did not know much about Corinne's diet. Tommy stepped forward and said, "Sir, I was told by the housekeeper that the old lady has recently been cooking all sorts of soup for Miss Corinne, and she's been eating that for all her meals too. Miss Corinne was even given some of the special millennia-old herbs that the old lady collected. Might this be the cause, perhaps?"The old doctor shook his head as soon as he heard that. "You're young and healthy. Why are you taking all these supplements? You'll get heaty if you eat too much of them,
"Her face is pale, but she's still saying that she's fine!" Pamela felt distressed and nudged her eldest grandson. "Go and massage her belly, Jeremy. Men have higher body temperatures, so massaging her abdomen will help her relieve her period pains!"Jeremy frowned.Corinne's pale face turned stiff. She waved her hands dismissively and said, "Umm... That's not necessary! I've already taken painkillers, Grandma. I feel much better now."The old lady did not seem to think that was enough. "It's precisely because you're feeling much better now that you have to let him rub your belly more. Maybe it'll stop hurting completely.""Grandma..." Corinne did not know how to refuse, so she glanced at Jeremy in a silent cry for help, hoping that he would say something.Jeremy looked at her awkward appearance and curled his lips slightly into a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Grandma. I'll get someone to bring her a hot water bottle so she can warm her stomach up."The old lady, however, was stil
