The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1812

Unexpectedly, the door to the ward swung just as Corinne was about to knock.

A group of men in black walked out of the ward with stuff in their hands. It looked like someone was being discharged from the ward.

Corinne double-checked the room number, making sure it matched what Xante had told her. She then asked one of the men, "Hey, is the person in this room getting discharged?"

The man in black eyed her suspiciously. "Who are you? Why do you want to know?"

"I'm just here to visit the patient in there," replied Corinne.

"Move along! You can't just barge in. Without the say-so from our ma'am and miss, no one steps inside!" retorted the man in black rudely.

'Ma'am and miss?' Corinne immediately knew who he was referring to. "I know them. Please inform them that Corinne is here. They'll let me in."

'Corinne?' The man in black had heard of the name before because he often heard the name being mentioned whenever Sophia and Adam were quarreling.

'Is this the same woman who irks Miss Sophia?' the man pondered while sizing up Corinne.

After a moment's consideration, he gruffly said, "Wait here."

With that, he turned and went inside to seek permission.

Not long after, Melinda and Lilin came out in person.

"Corinne? What are you doing here?"

Emily was unaware of the newcomer. She quietly gazed out the window at the sky, lost in thoughts.

Suddenly, she felt an intense gaze upon her, prompting her to turn. She was momentarily surprised to see Corinne before her eyes welled up with tears.

"Moonie..."

Corinne had almost forgotten about that nickname, but being addressed by her mother in such a way stirred many long-buried memories.

She walked up and looked at Emily, unsure of what to do or what words to say.

Lilin quickly fetched a chair for Corinne and urged her to sit. "Miss Corinne, why don't you have a seat and chat with Miss Emily? I'll go out with my mom to buy some things!"
