"That's enough, Anya! You can ask for an apology if there's really a misunderstanding, but there's no need to ask Corinne to kneel," lectured Maxwell."But Dad! You were suspicious of Mom too, right? How do you think Mom feels, knowing her husband also suspected her? How can Mom ever show her face around you again if we don't seek justice for her? I know Corinne meant well, but look what it's doing to our family! It's only fair for her to bear the consequences for her action, and I'll take nothing less than her kneeling and begging Mom for forgiveness."Lucas was getting to the end of his patience too. "That's enough, Anya! You—""Everyone, you can all stop speaking up for me now," cut in Corinne indifferently. "I'm willing to do what Anya wants as long as the test result comes back clean."The whole room fell silent.Lucas turned to look at Corinne with pain and a multitude of other feelings in his eyes.Jeremy frowned. He was not happy with Corinne's decision and was about to s

"The pomegranate juice is indeed pure, but there were lots of saffron purees mixed into it. Thus, we can conclude the patient's gastrointestinal bleeding is caused by overdosing on saffron. Saffron is known as a precious herb and, in small doses, can make the body healthier and the skin better. However, taking more than the recommended dose will cause vomiting, peeing blood, heavy period, acute poisoning, acute internal bleeding, and miscarriage or infertility in pregnant women," explained the doctor.The doctor's revelation shocked everyone. 'So there was something wrong with the pomegranate juice!'At the word 'miscarriage', Jeremy frowned and clenched his fists. 'Someone here is trying to hurt Corinne and the baby!'Anya was flabbergasted. 'What the hell is wrong with this doctor? What's the use of bribing him if he's not going to do the one thing he was supposed to do?'"Doctor, what are you talking about? How is it possible that there's saffron in the pomegranate juice? Did yo

Anya had calmed down by then, so she went to her mother's aid."Lucas, you shouldn't suspect Mom like this! Everyone knows saffron is good for beauty. And it's not like she has a medical background. She only wanted to share the good stuff with Corinne. In any case, it's just a matter of good intention, bad execution."'Good intention? Her good intention nearly killed the baby in Corinne's womb and caused Sunny to suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding!' thought Lucas. He could not help but feel a sense of revulsion when he looked at Anya.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. The doctor who had given them the test result had come back. "By the way, I forgot to return something to Miss Anya."He walked over to Anya and took out the bank card from his white coat."I'm sorry, Miss Anya," he said solemnly, "but we have rules in the hospital saying we're not allowed to accept bribe money or tamper with test results. I accepted your bank card just now because I was afraid you wouldn't s

Anya felt like her world had crumbled when Lucas pushed her away, and she started sobbing out loud. Since she could not argue her way out of this, she had no choice but to resort to using tears, hoping this would bring Lucas to her side."Lucas… hic… Why don't you love me anymore? You…promised you'll always protect me no…matter what."Lucas refused to speak or look at her. He did not want to be reminded of just how blind he was to all of Anya's scheming ways over the years."Cool down, Mister Lucas," said Corinne as she passed him a bottle of mineral water.Lucas was slightly shocked and relieved to see Corinne caring about him. However, the happiness did not last long because it was replaced by heavy guilt a second later. He finally saw Anya's true colors, and he could not help but think of all the times he blamed Corinne for hurting Anya.In all the times the two girls had a misunderstanding, he would always take Anya's side no matter what. Oh, how he would shame and scold Corin

As things progressed to that point, Anya had no choice but to sacrifice her mother to save herself. After all, it was better for one than for both of them to lose the trust of the family.Even though she had no idea what Corinne was thinking, she had no qualms about the version of the story Corinne gave. It was more important for her to uphold her innocent girl image so she could live to see another day.Corinne gently tucked Anya's hair before her ear. "Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I mean, you were kind enough to save Jeremy. Not only that, but you nearly lost your life and became infertile after that… A brave and kind-hearted girl like you would never do something like poisoning me, right?"Anya could not help but start to feel uneasy at all the praise Corinne was heaping on her, so much so a chill ran up her spine. 'Why would Corinne speak up for me? She's definitely up to no good.'Corinne frowned and said worriedly, "I suddenly remember something, Miss Anya. Is your body

Anya looked visibly unwell and she was seeing stars, but she still shook her head and refused. "No thanks! I'm fine! I don't need to have a check-up..."Corinne dragged her to follow the doctor. "Look at you, Miss Anya! Must you insist that you're fine when your complexion is that bad? You're going to make others worry about you! It's just a check-up, not an operation. What are you so afraid of?""I'm not afraid! I swear I'm fine! I don't need to go..." Anya was unable to express her worries, but she knew Corinne had an ulterior motive for making that suggestion. She was worried that she would walk into a trap if she went.Lucas then said in a booming voice, "You've been told to go, so just do it! There's nothing wrong with getting a checkup."Anya continued to struggle. "I'm fine. I'm not feeling sick at all..."Lucas frowned. "Then we can always check to see if there are any potential issues. I don't want you crying that you're unwell when we get home!"He was beginning to lose

"Maxwell..." Phoebe's eyes reddened as tears streamed down her face.Maxwell did not pity her and ignored her despite her crying. He went to the hospital bed, pulled a chair to sit, and looked quietly looking at his still-unconscious son.After watching Anya leave the ward, Corinne turned around to look at the tearful Phoebe.Phoebe and Anya were like two peas in a pod. She could cry at the drop of a hat, much like her daughter. Alas, Phoebe's song and dance did not seem to strike a chord with Maxwell.Although Phoebe was a middle-aged woman, she maintained a youthful figure and wrinkle-free face thanks to the Riveras's money. Sadly, her pitiful act was unable to capture Maxwell's attention.Maxwell appeared to be extremely cold toward Phoebe. As if sleeping in a separate bed was not bad enough, he did not even bother to take a second look at her.Corinne's impression of her biological father did not improve just because he was indifferent toward Phoebe, of course. Instead, she n

After leaving the ward, Corinne and Jeremy walked to the end of the corridor. They glanced out of the window at the small garden for patients to have a stroll and exercise.Corinne was bored, so she turned around and wrapped her arms lazily around his waist. She buried her face in his chest and rubbed her face shamelessly.It was not often that she would throw herself into his arms. Jeremy allowed her to do as she pleased, but he was also keenly aware that she was not her usual self."Are you in a bad mood?"Corinne turned her face so it was facing the man's chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. "Men are all buttfaces, aren't they?""What?" Jeremy frowned. There was a difference of nearly 10 years in their age gap, so there might be occasions where he did not fully understand the slang used by young people such as her. Nevertheless, he could tell that the word 'buttface' was a derogatory term.Corinne's gaze was vapid, and she had a sarcastic smile as she explained, "Just l
