The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1876

Corinne woke up to find herself in a hospital. The light above her was eye-piercingly bright, causing her to break out in cold sweat.

"Joey!" she cried out.

Through her blurry vision, she could see someone gently stroking her head and whispering in a deep voice into her ear, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Corinne's breathing slowly calmed, and the scene before her became clearer. She made out Xante, Aaron, Annie, Lucas, Sunny, and Maxwell. They were all looking at her with a mix of concern and tenderness.

Jeremy was the one who was cradling her gently, comforting her with soft-spoken words.

Corinne was still in a state of shock. She straightened up in Jeremy's arms and asked with reddened eyes, "Where's Joey?"

Jeremy looked at her gently and said, "Don't worry. The doctor saved him. He's fine and awake now."

Fearing Jeremy was just trying to comfort her, Corinne asked with disbelief, "Where's Joey? I need to see him now!"

She tried to get out of bed to look for Joey. Jeremy did not stop her but got up with her. He supported Corinne carefully to make sure she would not fall in her haste.

"Don't rush. Put on your shoes first." Jeremy held her hand carefully, preventing her from rushing out. He bent down and handed her a pair of slippers.

Corinne was so anxious that she could not care that much. However, Jeremy insisted she wore the slippers before leaving. With no other choice, she hurriedly put on the slippers.

Maxwell was very worried about Corinne and insisted on coming to the hospital to see her, no matter how much he was persuaded otherwise.

However, Maxwell's health had not fully recovered yet. He looked even paler after the restless night.

"Dad, why don't you go home first? Corinne is awake, so there's nothing to worry about anymore. Go home and have a nice sleep," said Sunny.

Maxwell waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Just help me over to that chair."

Sunny sighed defeatedly and assisted Maxwell to a nearby chair.
