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 ss before replying, “Uncle Jeremy


    called me and asked me to rush over to the hospital after buying a set of clean andfortable


    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!”


    Corinne’s embarrassment returned. “Did he watch the entire process?”


    Annie waved her fingers. “No, no, no! He wanted to, but I


    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 ws.


    “Why are your allergies so serious this time? What did you touch?”


    Corinne had guessed that it was an allergic reaction as soon as she woke up. “I don’t know. I must’ve


    encountered some allergen by ident.”


    She only had a strong allergic reaction toward silver products, and everything else would not be as


    serious.


    Previously, at the racecourse, a tiny silver earring was enough to cause her palms to turn red and


    swollen. The severe allergic reaction she had then must have meant that she had touched a lot of


    silver, but she did not remember touching anything of the sort, be it from the time she took a taxi back


    to the Holdens estate from Sky Mirror Residence, or when she returned to the room. She surmised that


    she could have identally touched some hidden silver objects in the taxi.


    “Please be more mindful of your allergens. You shouldn’t be careless again! Do you have any idea how


    scared Uncle Jeremy and I were when we came and saw your pale, unconscious face?


    “Okay. I’ll pay more attention in the future.” Corinne then nced around the ward after responding to


    Annie.


    Annie seemed to have guessed why Corinne was acting that way, so she leaned over and asked, “Are


    you looking for Uncle Jeremy?”


    Corinne did not deny it. “Where is he?”


    Her initial intention was not to see Jeremy. She was simply curious as to who sent her to the hospital,


    and whether he could have left her in Annie’s care just so he could leave without being responsible for


    her.


    Annie thought for a while and told Corinne the truth. “Well, Anya had a car ident on the way home


    and was sent to this same hospital. Sunny just called Uncle Jeremy and asked him to go see her.”


    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 be 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 ssical 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.
