The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 275

Corinne’s throat felt a lot better after she drank a lot of water. She leaned against the hospital bed and asked Annie, “Why are you here?”

Annie put down the glass before replying, “Uncle Jeremy

called me and asked me to rush over to the hospital after buying a set of clean and comfortable innerwear for you. I came as soon as I bought everything.”

‘Inner…wear?‘ Corinne felt embarrassed as she looked down at

herself.

She remembered being locked in the bathroom by Jeremy and getting drenched before finally losing consciousness.

Although she was wearing a hospital gown, the underwear inside was dry and had been changed.

“… Who helped me change my underwear?” she asked with a frown.

Annie said, “I did. I took off your wet clothes too!”

Her answer allowed Corinne to heave a sigh of relief. She no longer felt as embarrassed as before and said, “Oh. That’s good!”

Annie added, “But he did help at one side since I didn’t have the strength to hold you up and put your clothes on at the same time!”

Corinne’s embarrassment returned. “Did he watch the entire process?”

Annie waved her fingers. “No, no, no! He wanted to, but I

insisted that he turn his face away. The two of you may be husband and wife, but it’s still important to keep things mysterious, or there won’t be any hint of intrigue in the future!”

Corinne’s lips twitched. ‘Annie can be such a dunderhead sometimes…‘

Annie sighed worriedly again as she held Corinne’s little hands which were swollen red like crab claws. “Why are your allergies so serious this time? What did you touch?”

Corinne had guessed that it was an allergic reaction as soon as she woke up. “I don’t know. I must’ve encountered some allergen by accident.”

She only had a strong allergic reaction toward silver products, and everything else would not be as serious.

Previously, at the racecourse, a tiny silver earring was enough to cause her palms to turn red and swollen. The severe allergic reaction she had then must have meant that she had touched a lot of silver, but she did not remember touching anything of the sort, be it from the time she took a taxi back to the Holdens estate from Sky Mirror Residence, or when she returned to the room. She surmised that she could have accidentally touched some hidden silver objects in the taxi.

“Please be more mindful of your allergens. You shouldn’t be careless again! Do you have any idea how scared Uncle Jeremy and I were when we came and saw your pale, unconscious face?

“Okay. I’ll pay more attention in the future.” Corinne then glanced around the ward after responding to Annie.

Annie seemed to have guessed why Corinne was acting that way, so she leaned over and asked, “Are you looking for Uncle Jeremy?”

Corinne did not deny it. “Where is he?”

Her initial intention was not to see Jeremy. She was simply curious as to who sent her to the hospital, and whether he could have left her in Annie’s care just so he could leave without being responsible for her.

Annie thought for a while and told Corinne the truth. “Well, Anya had a car accident on the way home and was sent to this same hospital. Sunny just called Uncle Jeremy and asked him to go see her.”

Corinne narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “Oh. I see.”

Annie looked at Corinne with a flickering gaze as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated and said, “Umm… Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? I’ll get someone to buy some food for you!”

Corinne shook her head. “No, I’m not hungry yet.”

Annie felt a little uneasy. “Don’t be angry, Corinne. Uncle Jeremy should be back soon!”

Corinne curled her lips and smiled. “I’m not. Why would I be angry?”

A person’s psyche would usually become more fragile and delicate when they get sick. She was not angry though, and all she wanted was to go home–to the home she, Xante, and Aaron stayed in–and hug their little Mia on the sofa while listening to her favorite classical music and doing nothing.

All of a sudden, someone pushed the door open and walked in.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Jeremy’s tall and slender body came into view, and behind him was Anya, who was still wearing a hospital gown.
