The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1849

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Corinne talked with her mother while Jeremy sat quietly on the side and peeled some apples for them. Despite Corinne's insistence that he should strain his injured arm, he brushed her concerns off and assured her that he was fine. Nonetheless, his arm injury led him to skip work in the afternoon and delegate his tasks to his subordinates.

Evening soon came, and Corinne was contemplating what to order for dinner when a knock was heard on the ward door. Jeremy rose to answer it, and his face turned cold when he saw that Adam had visited them.

Adam's attitude was just as sour. He scrutinized Jeremy from head to toe and seemed to pay a particular focus on his legs before sneering, "Your legs seem just fine. Kudos for putting on that act!"

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and retorted, "I had no reason to be honest with you people."

Adam was about to mock him further when Melinda intervened promptly. "Mister Jeremy, I brought him here to apologize to you and Corinne."

'Apologize?' Jeremy thought to himself. He doubted whether Adam truly understood the nature of all those transgressions. He nevertheless nodded at Melinda and went to sit by Corinne's side.

Melinda then led Adam into the ward and closed the door.

Corinne became wary when she saw Adam, and Melinda smiled awkwardly before offering, "We've brought dinner. You and your mother should eat some."

Adam wore a sullen expression and seemed reluctant to speak. Lilin held his hand and urged him, "Go ahead, Dad! Be a good example for me!"

Adam reluctantly looked at Lilin before turning to Jeremy and Corinne. He then mumbled, "I'm sorry. I've caused your family so much trouble in the past three years. It's entirely my fault, and I apologize for it."

Adam spoke quickly and without much sincerity.

Corinne exchanged a knowing look with Jeremy, then raised her eyebrows and focused on Adam's unapologetic demeanor. She finally turned her gaze to Melinda and said, "Do you expect me to forgive him just like that?"
