Chapter 283


    “Don’t be ridiculous! It’s obvious that the man’s status is unique and that he probably has the same sort


    of family


    background that couldplement Miss Anya. They made for the perfect pair!”


    Corinne heard that while she passed slowly by the nurse’s station, and she had a good guess of what


    could have


    happened. A pervert had stalked Anya, which led her to call Jeremy for help. By the time Jeremy


    arrived, however, the pervert had run off.


    The police then came to investigate potential suspects by checking the hospital surveince footage.


    The nurses mentioned that Anya was in Ward 302, which did not seem too far away. She should be


    almost there if she kept walking and took the turn up ahead. Corinne turned the corner and found Ward


    302 in no time.


    The door of the ward was half open, and there were plenty of people inside, including the police.


    Without getting too close, the angle was just right for her to see what was going on in the


    ward.


    Anya leaned against Jeremy’s arms in shock, and her shoulders were trembling. “Jeremy, I’m


    scared…”


    Jeremy hugged her shoulders and patted her back gently tofort her. He then reassured her in a


    low voice, “It’ll be alright. Just tell the police what happened. Do you still remember the perpetrator’s


    physical appearance and characteristics?”


    Anya was unable to go to the police station to have her statement taken because she was hospitalized,


    so the police had no choice but to go to the hospital to do their duty.


    Jeremy’s reassurance stabilized Anya’s mood greatly, and she took a deep breath before saying as


    calmly as possible to the officers, “That man… He wore a striped shirt, wears sses, and is a bit fat.


    He’s about one–point–seven meters tall…”


    The police nodded and jotted it down. “Okay. We’ve got that written down, Miss Anya. Rest assured,


    we will apprehend that person and get justice for you!”


    “Thank you.” Anya thanked the police politely while shrinking into Jeremy’s arms to seek a sense of


    security. It was as if that man was the only person in the world who would not scare her.


    “I’m scared, Jeremy. Please don’t go. I want you to be here by my side…”


    “I won’t go anywhere.”


    Jeremy patted her gently on the back and whispered a few words offort.


    After finishing up their work there, the police stood up and prepared to leave. “We’ll excuse ourselves


    now, Mister Jeremy. You’ll be the first to know if there is any progress with the case.”


    Jeremy nodded slightly. “Okay. Please send the two officers off, Rosie.”


    Rosie then said magnanimously, “Thank you for all that


    you’ve done, officers. Right this way, please. Take care on the road.”


    Corinne stood outside the ward and saw that the two of them were fine. Nothing serious seemed to


    have happened, so she closed her eyes gently and turned around to go back to her ward.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Corinne?! It’s you!” Rosie, who hade out to see the police off, chanced upon a figure that looked


    like Corinne in the corridor. She immediately followed behind the girl to get a closer look, and her guess


    turned out to have been spot on.


    Corinne looked calmly at Rosie standing in front of her. “Good evening, Miss Rosie.”


    Rosie looked at Corinne suspiciously, then looked back at Ward 302, and realized that she could see


    Anya leaning against Jeremy’s arms through the half–open door. She understood at once andughed.


    “You saw everything, didn’t you? I told you a long time ago that you’d be reduced to nothing once Anya


    comes back!”


    Corinne smirked. She was nothing to Jeremy before Anya came back anyway, so what was the


    difference?


    Rosie folded her arms triumphantly and said, “I’ll have you know that Anya has known Jeremy since


    she was ten, and their rtionship had developed to such an extent over the years that you can never


    separate them!”


    Corinne surmised that Rosie was just trying to stand in her way, so she raised her eyebrows and


    asked, “Don’t you think you’re just poking your nose into other people’s businesses?” Rosie’s face


    turned sour, and after seeing a distinctck of disappointment on Corinne’s face, she gritted her teeth


    unhappily because herments failed to achieve the


    intended effects. “Hmph! I’ll wait until you’re abandoned by Jeremy! I hope you don’t cry too ugly when


    the timees!”


    “Who are you talking to?” A man’s gentle and clear voice suddenly sounded from behind Corinne.
