Chapter 476
At first, Rosie wanted to order Corinne to run the errand. However, she thought that Corinne might still be harboring ill intentions and might do something to Joey’s water. In the end, she glared at Corinne with disgust and decided to buy it herself.
Not long after that, Anya came out of the consultation room with Joey in her arms.
There were no signs of concern or caution that a mother worrying about her child’s injury should have on Anya’s beautiful face. On the contrary, she was smiling sweetly at Corinne. “You’re quite good, Corinne! I’ve meticulously designed this setup today, yet you’re able to dodge it so easily!”
Anya revealed her true colors. Corinne was not surprised at all, but she got to know a new side of her.
In the past, she only felt that Anya was a hypocrite and a scheming person. At that moment, Corinne felt that this woman who looked weak and harmless was far scarier than she imagined.
Anya used the health of her child-who was so young that he could not speak and tell his experience verbally-to create trouble. She truly would go to any lengths!
Corinne curled her lips coldly. “You flatter me, Miss Anya. I’m not as good as you. You’re able to do such cruel things to your son. Aren’t you afraid that his father will find out?”
Anya was still beaming. She said without fear and with certainty. “His father won’t know! Because the doctor said just now that Joey, like you, just has an allergy! The bruises on his body were caused by coming in contact with unknown allergens! No matter who asked, that’s what the doctor would say.”
Corinne was stunned, but she understood it very quickly. The reason Anya asked Rosie to leave the room earlier was probably to get a chance to bribe the doctor.
Looking at the boy in Anya’s arms, who looked frightened and overly well-behaved, Corinne could not help but pity him. He was truly a poor thing to have such a mother.
“He’s your son. How could you have the heart to do this?”
Anya did not care. She was still smiling as she looked at her son in her arms. “Corinne, there’s no need for
you to worry
front of her family and friends. “You don’t have to worry, Rosie. The doctor said Joey was just having an allergic reaction. He was not abused by somebody.”
Rosie handed the bottle of water to Anya. “Allergy? What’s Joey allergic to? You have to check for the allergen properly and pay more attention in the future!”
Anya nodded. “Mm-hmm. The nurse would be coming in a while to draw Joey’s blood for the test!”
“What should Joey do now? What treatment does he need?”
“The doctor said he needs to be hospitalized for an IV drip.”
Corinne could not help but frown when she heard Anya say that the child would be getting an IV drip. He did not have an allergy. It was probably not good to give him an IV drip like he was having an allergic reaction. Why would Anya have the heart to torture her child like this?

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
