Coming back to reality, Anya smiled awkwardly. "Oh, nothing. I was just trying very hard to recall what happened back then."
Corinne smiled. "Oh, okay. Then did you happen to remember what color of clothing Jeremy was wearing?"
The question stumped Anya. 'I might get exposed if I can't even answer a question as simple as this… Jeremy rarely wears bright colors, so the answer is either black or white… Umm… I'll just pick a color, then!'
"Umm… He was wearing black…"
Hearing this, Jeremy narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Then, do you remember where the rattlesnake bit him?" asked Corinne.
Anya's face tensed up again. She really had no idea where. "Umm… It was his arm."
"Left or right arm?" Corinne hit her with another question.
'How the hell should I know?' Anya pretended to look perplexed. "Corinne, the way you're asking me for all these little details makes it seem like I'm being interrogated here."
Corinne smiled. "Well, can't blame a girl for being curious, can you? Don't tell me you can't even remember such an important little detail like this, Miss Anya. I mean, it's not every day you suck out snake venom from other people's arms, right?"
Anya frowned. "I've already told you… It happened so long ago, so my memory is a little bit unclear."
Corinne smirked. "Then do you remember doing anything else after sucking out the venom from Jeremy's arm?"
Anya frowned unhappily. "What else did I do? Corinne, I was just a kid then, so what else could I do?"
Anya could not avoid the question. "Such as…cookies, bread, ham… Umm, I don't quite remember, but I brought whatever was convenient."
She thought it would be plausible for the person who really saved Jeremy to bring him that kind of food. 'No person in their sane mind would bring him all the high-end fine dining food…right?'
Jeremy's expression darkened when he heard Anya's answer. Gone was the usual politeness he showed her as he glared at her fiercely.
Corinne stopped throwing questions at Anya. She turned to look at Jeremy with her brow raised. "My, Miss Anya was certainly good to you, wasn't she, Jeremy? She brought you a sandwich every day when those things were a rarity in the poor countryside you were found in."
Jeremy frowned. He immediately got what Corinne was hinting at.
Anya not only lied about her infertility, but she also lied about saving him!
