Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 1811 - Bab 1820

'Could she be talking about...Mom?' With that thought in mind, Corinne grabbed Xante by the clothes and urgently asked, "Which ward? Which ward is she in?"Xante told her the ward number."Watch over the kids for me. Also, tell Aaron and Annie that I'll join them for the after-party tonight," said Corinne hurriedly.Xante, concerned by Corinne's agitation, held onto her and said, "I'll go with you."Corinne shook her head. "No. You need to look after the kids for me. I'll be fine, trust me."She shook off Xante's grasp, rushed outside, and got into her car.40 minutes later, she arrived at the hospital. She did not even bother to park her car in the underground parking lot. She did not care about parking regulations and left her car on the roadside while she rushed into the hospital.'Mom is still alive!' she thought excitedly.Corinne was so anxious and eager to see her mother that while waiting for the elevator, her breathing became erratic.She briskly stepped inside as so

Lilin skipped out the ward hand-in-hand with Melinda.Only Corinne and Emily remained in the ward, looking at each other shyly.Emily was the first to break the silence. She smiled gently and said, "Moonie, do you still…remember me?"Corinne stared at Emily silently.Emily sighed with self-blame. "I'm sorry for leaving you all alone for so many years. I'm so sorry…"As Emily's tears fell, Corinne's eyes reddened as well. She shifted her gaze to Emily's bandaged forearm and asked, "How did you get hurt? Is the wound serious?"Emily was taken aback. She glanced at her own forearm and shook her head. "It's nothing serious."Corinne looked into Emily's eyes. Her emotions were complex and bitter. She was not a child anymore, and it also seemed that it was no longer suitable for her to throw herself into her mother's arms carefreely."Why did you disappear when Missus Addison called me out to meet you two days ago? Were you avoiding me?" asked Corinne in a trembling voice.Emily qui

Melinda was flustered at how Corinne bowed to her. She hurriedly waved her hands. "Corinne, you're being too polite! Emily and I are best friends, so I'm just doing what every best friend would've done."Nonetheless, Corinne bowed again. "I really appreciate the care you've shown my mom over the years. Thank you for protecting her from the Riveras."Melinda sighed and gently helped Corinne up. "It's totally fine! I appreciate your gratitude, but let's skip bowing from now on, okay? Otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry at you!"Corinne nodded and straightened herself. She did not want to make Melinda uncomfortable.She glanced at the men in black guarding the door and asked Melinda, "I just saw them taking my mom's things out. Is she getting discharged? But she looked like she hadn't fully recovered yet."Melinda looked hesitant upon hearing Corinne's question. "She's not getting discharged, but she did insist on transferring to another hospital. I just finished arranging th

Before Corinne could retort, Marvin scolded them both, "Shut up! Do you want to get more beating?!"Lilliana and Sherlyn shrunk back, wisely choosing not to say anything more.Corinne was protected by the Holdens; she was no longer someone they could afford to offend.Marvin adopted a more polite tone as he addressed Corinne. "Corinne, why did you come back? Is it because you miss your old dad?"Corinne felt disgusted at how he could still refer to himself as her father. She smirked coldly and said, "Mister Carew, please have some self-respect. I do have some business coming back, but seeing your family in this state, it seems I have none now."Sherlyn could not resist adding, "I was right, Dad. I knew she came back just to enjoy our misery!"Marvin was not pleased either. He knew he got beaten up because of Corinne, but he dared not provoke her and remained silent.Corinne returned to seek revenge for Emily, but seeing the Carews' severe condition left her uncertain about how t

After all the kids had bathed and fallen asleep, Corinne wearily leaned against the headboard and scrolled through her phone.She had received a message from Melinda that evening that updated her about Emily's new hospital details and ward number.Oddly enough, the messages she sent to Jeremy earlier in the day remained unanswered.'Is he pulling the disappearing act again?' wondered Corinne with a sigh. She genuinely found this game of silence more draining than entertaining.The busy day also made her feel very tired, so she decided to lie down and get ready to sleep. After all, she still had the task of withdrawing all three kids from the kindergarten tomorrow morning. Ever since Joey's incident, Corinne decided not to send the kids to that kindergarten anymore.Her kids had become targets in someone's malicious game of spreading rumors. People were circulating unpleasant speculations about Joey's biological parents, and it would only get worse from there on.Therefore, Corinn
