The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1014

Meanwhile, in another hospital ward, Pamela woke up from her unconsciousness with a splitting headache. She blinked a few times to take in her surroundings and realized Greg and Francine were sitting by her bedside.

Francine grabbed her hand and said emotionally, "Grandma! You're finally awake! You nearly scared me and Grandpa to death when you passed out!"

Greg sighed with relief, but he then frowned and said harshly, "I told you, you shouldn't have come to the hospital! Now look at all the extra trouble you've caused us!"

Not in the mood to deal with him, Pamela ignored him. Even though she did not remember why she fainted, she did remember why she came to the hospital in the first place.

She grabbed Francine's hand to help herself up. "Francine, how are Corinne and the baby now?"

Francine's expression slowly fell apart. She did not know how to answer Pamela as she feared her grandmother would faint again if she told her the truth. Thus, she looked to Greg for help.

Greg knew what she was worried about, so he deliberately scoffed and said, "You should worry about yourself instead of others, you old fool!"

Pamela knew they were trying to distract her, so she shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. I got a little dizzy, that's all. Greg, Francine, please answer my question. How's Corinne and the baby now? Are they both okay?"

Francine remained silent. Greg, however, pushed Pamela to lie back down on the bed.

"Enough is enough. You're too weak to have the luxury to worry about others right now. You should rest. The doctor will be here later to check on your heart and blood pressure. We can talk about whatever you want at home once he gives us the clear," said Greg.

"See, I told you so!" said Greg. "Even Francine knows how popular Corinne is with the guys. There's no guarantee she didn't fool around with another guy in the one month she left the house. You shouldn't be taken in by her good girl image, you know. Besides, we can always find another girl for Jeremy to marry. I mean, who wouldn't want to be a Missus Holden? We'll never want for great-grandkids either!"

Pamela's expression suddenly fell. She finally realized something. "Tell me the truth: Corinne is dead, isn't she?"

Francine kept quiet. 'Looks like nothing Grandpa says will keep Grandma from finding out the truth.'

Greg frowned. "Even if she is, it has nothing to do with us since she and Jeremy were never legally married in the first place. She's not really our granddaughter-in-law yet, so you shouldn't get too emotional about her."
