The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 697
Everyone's expectant gazes gradually dulled with disappointment, mixed with a hint of frustration as if they had been played with. The servants of the Riveras started to snap in frustration."There's no movement at all. How can there be any sign of coming back to life?""Don't trust her! She's just playing tricks!""The boy no longer breathes. How could he come back to life just by swallowing some mysterious pill? If that was possible, hospitals would've closed down long ago!""That's right! She exaggerated to give herself a chance. That woman is clearly toying with us!"Lucas' expression darkened, as the situation unfolded as expected. He squinted at Corinne, waiting to see if she would feel ashamed.Anya saw the result she had hoped for and secretly chuckled. Then, she cried with sorrow. "Corinne, have you had enough? My Joey has already passed, yet you continue to torment his body! Just hurt me if you're so bitter, but don't torment my child anymore!"Corinne remained silent,

Joey opened his eyes, but having just survived a near-death experience, he looked sickly pale, and he appeared weak even as he regained consciousness.After the shock, those from the Rivera immediately surrounded the child, showing their concern.Corinne felt herself relaxing as she watched Joey regain consciousness. She stood up and moved back, leaning against Jeremy as she sighed in relief.Jeremy, on the other hand, said nothing as he gently caught her as she leaned into his embrace, smoothing her hair.Amid her shock, Anya continued to play her role. She squatted beside the child, wiped away her tears, and said, "Oh my god, Joey… You're awake! I thought you were gone, my boy… You don't know how scared I was!"At first, Joey had a confused expression, staring blankly at his surroundings, not understanding what had happened. However, when Anya approached to hold him, he immediately showed a terrified expression as if he had seen something dreadful, and he immediately burst into

...The ambulance and police cars arrived at the Riveras' simultaneously. The medical staff were the first to rush in, examining the child's injuries and inquiring about the measures taken by the family. They praised the family for their effective rescue, stating that otherwise, the child might not have been saved!When the doctors praised them, Lucas glanced at Corinne with a complex expression in his eyes.Because the child had lost a significant amount of blood, the wound on the back of his head needed to be stitched up. The medical personnel lifted Joey onto a stretcher and took him to the hospital for further examination and treatment.Lucas instructed Edmund to accompany the child while he stayed to coordinate with the police. Anya did not go with the ambulance to accompany Joey because whenever she approached the child, he would cry out in fear. The medical staff had to persuade her to step out of the vehicle and not to further upset the child.She could only get out of the

Lucas was at a loss for words. He could not make sense of the logic behind all this, but to him, many of Corinne's previous actions lacked logic as well. For example, her sudden appearance at the Riveras' job interview, or her presence at his grandfather's birthday banquet without any reason. Moreover, both Anya and the maid witnessed Corinne's actions firsthand. Could it be fake?"I know why Corinne made such an effort to save Joey, Lucas," interjected Anya.As everyone turned to look, they saw Anya, with red eyes, walking in from outside.She planned to accompany Joey to the hospital with the medical staff, but because the child had an extreme reaction as soon as he saw her, the medical staff advised her to stay behind, and she had to come back.Lucas frowned when he saw her returning alone and asked, "Why didn't you go to the hospital? Where's Joey?"Anya walked to her brother's side, wiped away her tears, and said, "Edmund is with Joey at the hospital, so I feel relieved. We c

A few officers recognized the prominent figure of the Holden family and became uneasy. "Well... Mister Jeremy, please don't make our job difficult. We're just following the procedures..."The man snorted, his ink-black eyebrows dangerously raised. "Following procedures? Just based on the one-sided words of the Riveras, you want to take my wife as a murder suspect? Is there an arrest warrant?"What? This girl named Corinne was actually Mister Jeremy's wife?!The officers were officially stumped.When they saw this girl standing beside Mister Jeremy, they thought she was just a new lover he happened to bring along. They never expected her to be his legitimate wife!They could not afford to offend her. Should Miss Corinne truly be innocent, not only would their fate be at stake, but even their department could not bear the consequences!Lucas could sense that the police were wary of the Holdens. His brow furrowed as he stepped forward, saying, "Jeremy, the police only want to take C

Lucas' sharp gaze was fixed on his beloved younger sister who had been spoiled since childhood. "Are you sure you were there and saw everything?"Anya felt rather guilty as she met her brother's gaze and showed a hint of grievance. "Positive! Do you still not believe me, Lucas?"Lucas narrowed his elegant eyes, a trace of doubt lingering in his eyes regarding his sister. "Then why did Joey himself say that Corinne didn't harm him?"Joey said that? Anya's expression stiffened for a moment, and she quickly realized that the phone call her brother received earlier was from Edmund. Joey must have said something to Edmund, who relayed it to her brother over the phone!She did not know what Joey specifically said, so Anya could not help but feel flustered, but she showed no slip-ups outwardly."Lucas, Joey is still so young. He can't even speak complete sentences yet! How could he clearly describe in words what happened? Edmund must've misunderstood Joey's meaning!"The doubt in Lucas'

Lucas felt like the girl before him, the same one he watched growing up, was very unfamiliar. There were some things he did not want to dwell on anymore. He took a deep breath and said, "I hope you're not lying to me, Anya."Not probing further, Anya breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt uneasy. It seemed like her brother was very disappointed in her, as if he did not trust her anymore.Lucas felt exhausted after all the commotion. He no longer looked at his sister and turned to Jeremy and Corinne, saying, "Jeremy, you can leave now. Thankfully, Joey is fine. Let's consider today's incident wrapped up."Jeremy sneered, "Wrapped up? You say it so easily. You've treated my wife like a murderer for so long, and you now want to let it go?"Lucas frowned. "I just don't want to pursue it anymore. It doesn't mean that Corinne is completely innocent! Jeremy, are you not willing to back down at all?"A hint of irony appeared in Jeremy's eyes. "I know what kind of person you are, Lu

"Grandpa, you're back!" Anya immediately ran up to her grandfather upon seeing him returning, wiping away her tears in an aggrieved manner.Cedric Rivera glanced at his granddaughter, whose eyebrows were furrowed and had reddened eyes. "What's the matter? How did you end up crying again? You're such a child, always complaining about this and that, or crying endlessly over trivial matters! Your grandmother and I, at our age, have never been as difficult to please as you!""I…" Anya trailed off.She had hoped to receive comfort and support from her grandfather, but instead, she was met with a lecture full of disdain. Anya felt embarrassed and could not find a way to respond.Although she had been pampered at home since childhood, with her parents, older brother, and younger brother treating her like a precious gem, her position as a granddaughter to her grandparents was slightly inferior to that of her older brother Lucas and younger brother Sunny. She always felt that her grandparen
