Jeremy stroked Corinne's head. He knew she was worried, even though she did not show it."We can go to the hospital to check on Sunny if you're worried," he said softly.Corinne nodded, so Jeremy stepped on the accelerator to catch up with the ambulance.…At the hospital, outside of the emergency ward.The doctor took off his mask and announced sternly, "After preliminary examination, we confirmed that the patient is suffering from acute gastrointestinal bleeding."Phoebe started to panic. "What?! Gastrointestinal bleeding? Why would that suddenly happen to my son?""We suspect it's caused by food poisoning. What did the patient eat today?" the doctor asked.Phoebe's eyes flickered guiltily, and she subconsciously exchanged glances with Anya before answering the doctor, "My son had all his three meals at home today, and I'm pretty sure the food at our house is clean! Besides, we all ate the same thing as him and we're fine, so it can't be food poisoning!""We can rule out foo

"Excuse me, but you're the one delaying the doctor, okay?" Corinne raised her eyebrow impatiently and grabbed Anya's collar to push her out of the way. "If it weren't for you butting in, I could've finished what I wanted to say to the doctor by now!"Anya lost her balance and fell onto Phoebe, causing her to grit her teeth in anger. She quickly straightened herself and went to try to stop Corinne again, but alas, it was all too late."Apart from the three meals he had at home, the patient also drank something none of us here had drunk," said Corinne.The doctor thought this was an important clue. "What was it?""It was the pomegranate juice the patient's mother made. He drank one whole glass of it. I have a sample of the pomegranate juice here. You can take it to the lab to see if it contains anything dangerous."Corinne passed the napkin she spat into to the doctor.The doctor immediately nodded. "Okay, we'll take it to the lab for testing now. We'll let you know once we have th

"What mother would harm her child? Besides, have you forgotten I've also drank the pomegranate juice? I'm fine, aren't I? Even if it was caused by the pomegranate juice, it must be because Sunny ate something that was incompatible with it. I refuse to believe Mom has anything to do with this!"Everything Anya said sounded logical. She even used the example of herself having drunk the pomegranate juice, so Lucas found it impossible to point out any holes in her argument. His suspicion of Phoebe did lessen somewhat after that.Corinne chuckled softly. "Miss Anya, have you forgotten how you ran to the bathroom to throw up all the pomegranate juice after drinking it?"Anya's eyes flickered. She frowned and forced herself to suppress the rising anger inside of her before she looked at Corinne pitifully."Corinne, I'm starting to think you enjoy putting our family in a mess. Do you have proof that I threw up the pomegranate juice? Can't I go to the bathroom when I need to relieve myself?

Jeremy smilingly relished over the fact Corinne called him her husband. 'So she does get jealous and possessive as well!'Nonetheless, he could not stand Anya's ear-splitting cries, so he patted Corinne's head and said coaxingly, "You can let her go now. She didn't manage to touch me."Corinne let go of Anya and rolled her eyes at Jeremy. "Mister, you should behave yourself too. I don't like men who cheat!"Jeremy frowned and flicked her forehead. "Why you, little rascal. Who are you calling a cheater?"Corinne rubbed her forehead unhappily. "Hmph! Men who don't know how to reject other women's advances are as good as a cheater to me! Why didn't you move out of the way when Anya tried to grab your sleeve?"Jeremy moved further away from Anya and sat on the other side of Corinne. He then grabbed her hand and said, "I promise I'll never let anyone touch me again, okay?"Corinne frowned in displeasure. "Including me?"Jeremy did not know whether to laugh or cry. "As if I'd dare to

The doctor brought the test result to Sunny's ward to discuss it with the Riveras. They all stood up and approached the doctor when they saw him coming in."The test result on the pomegranate juice has come back, so let me explain the specific cause of the patient's gastrointestinal bleeding."Lucas nodded. "Yes, please go ahead."The doctor looked down at the report and continued, "The pomegranate juice is indeed—""Wait!" Anya suddenly walked up to the front. "Sorry to interrupt you, Doctor, but I have something to say first."Lucas frowned. "What are you doing, Anya? Can't you wait until the doctor finishes?""No, it cannot!" said Anya determinedly. "What happened today caused my mom a great deal of suffering, so I must seek justice for her!"Then, without giving a chance for Lucas to say anything, she turned to Corinne and asked with reddened eyes, "Corinne, you were the one who said Sunny ended up like this after drinking the pomegranate juice my mother made, right?""Yes,

"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
