Chapter 275
Corinne’s throat felt a lot better after she drank a lot of water. She leaned against the hospital bed and asked Annie, “Why are you here?”
Annie put down the glass before replying, “Uncle Jeremy
called me and asked me to rush over to the hospital after buying a set of clean and comfortable innerwear for you. I came as soon as I bought everything.”
‘Inner…wear?‘ Corinne felt embarrassed as she looked down at
herself.
She remembered being locked in the bathroom by Jeremy and getting drenched before finally losing consciousness.
Although she was wearing a hospital gown, the underwear inside was dry and had been changed.
“… Who helped me change my underwear?” she asked with a frown.
Annie said, “I did. I took off your wet clothes too!”
Her answer allowed Corinne to heave a sigh of relief. She no longer felt as embarrassed as before and said, “Oh. That’s good!”
Annie added, “But he did help at one side since I didn’t have the strength to hold you up and put your clothes on at the same time!”

insisted that he turn his face away. The two of you may be husband and wife, but it’s still important to keep things mysterious, or there won’t be any hint of intrigue in the future!”
Corinne’s lips twitched. ‘Annie can be such a dunderhead sometimes…‘
Annie sighed worriedly again as she held Corinne’s little hands which were swollen red like crab claws. “Why are your allergies so serious this time? What did you touch?”
Corinne narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “Oh. I see.”
Annie looked at Corinne with a flickering gaze as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated and said, “Umm… Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? I’ll get someone to buy some food for you!”
Corinne shook her head. “No, I’m not hungry yet.”
Annie felt a little uneasy. “Don’t be angry, Corinne. Uncle Jeremy should be back soon!”
Corinne curled her lips and smiled. “I’m not. Why would I be angry?”
A person’s psyche would usually become more fragile and delicate when they get sick. She was not angry though, and all she wanted was to go home–to the home she, Xante, and Aaron stayed in–and hug their little Mia on the sofa while listening to her favorite classical music and doing nothing.
All of a sudden, someone pushed the door open and walked in.
Jeremy’s tall and slender body came into view, and behind him was Anya, who was still wearing a hospital gown.
