The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1561

Jeremy wheeled himself over to Bryan and patted his head. "There, there. I promise you I'll reunite you with your mother."

Bryan nodded. "Okay! I believe you, Daddy!"

"I need to do my rehabilitation exercise now, so be a good boy and play with your toys in the living room, okay? Promise me you won't touch anything in the kitchen, and shout for me if you need anything," said Jeremy gently, which was different from his usual stern tone.

"Okay! I promise I'll be a good boy. Good luck, Daddy!"

Jeremy pursed his lips and wheeled himself to the bedroom. The condition there was very limited. He could not buy professional rehabilitation equipment, lest Sophia found out what he had been up to.

Thus, he could only go to the balcony and use the railing there to do rehabilitation exercises. One good thing about doing the rehabilitation exercise on the bedroom balcony was that if Sophia came back midway, he would have some buffer time to recollect himself.

He held the railing of the balcony with both hands and struggled to stand up, almost using his arms to support the entire weight of his body. His legs kept shaking because of the lack of strength in them. He then tried to use less arm strength and let his legs stand for a moment.

Sophia never left the suite for the past two days, so he had no time to practice. He finally managed to stand for a while during his previous practice, but he was back at square one since he slacked off in the past two days.

He was not discouraged. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand, and took his hands away from the railing little by little, trying to see if he could stand without support.

However, his impatience caused his downfall, literally.

As soon as he took his hand away, his legs crumpled underneath him, and he lost his balance. By then, it was too late for him to grab the railing.

He fell back.

Corinne crossed her arms and stared at his sweaty face. "Do you know it's dangerous for you to do rehabilitation exercises alone on the balcony? What if you fell out instead of into the balcony? It'll be game over for you then!"

Jeremy lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I don't really have a choice, do I?"

Corinne stared at him for a while. After that, she lifted his chin. "You've really changed."

Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

"You always had this dangerous aura around you back then. It was as if you could kill someone with just one glance," said Corinne teasingly.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "What about now?"
