The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1851

Adam snorted. "Don't you two get it? Why should I stay here if they're not going to accept my apology? Let's leave!"

Lilin looked annoyed. "But Dad..."

"Enough!" Adam bent down and lifted his daughter in his arms. "We shouldn't have come here in the first place. Let's go. We're going to bail your sister out. She's waiting for us!"

Melinda, embarrassed but unable to do anything about it, bid farewell to Emily and Corinne before rushing out to try and catch up.

When they left, Emily's expression sank, and she felt her heart grow heavier. Corinne remained silent and chose to pretend as though nothing happened. She handed some food to her mother and said, "Here. Have some dinner."

Emily nodded and offered a reluctant smile to Corinne before eating quietly.

When Corinne saw this, she turned to Jeremy and asked, "Could you accompany me to the bathroom, please?"

Jeremy nodded in tacit understanding. He came forward and left the ward with her. The hospital corridors were slightly less crowded in the evening as there were not a lot of people.

Corinne held Jeremy's hand and said, "Hey. You don't need to show mercy to Adam for my mother's sake. I don't want you to suffer this injustice because of my mother and I. Just go ahead and deal with them as you see fit."

Corinne was still concerned that he might not be able to bring himself to do it, so she emphasized to him, "I'll handle things on my mother's end. You don't need to worry about her. Do you understand?"

Jeremy placed his chin on the top of her head and rubbed it slightly. "Yes, I understand."

Meanwhile, in the elevator, Melinda said to Adam, "Didn't you already say we won't rescue Sophia? Why are you changing your mind again?"

Adam snorted. "You saw that, didn't you? I apologized to them, but they're not keen on accepting it at all. Why should we suck up to them if they can't even bother to show you or Emily any courtesy? It's almost as if they don't give a damn about your friendship with Emily. I'm better off trying to help my daughter than dealing with them."
