Chapter 304


    While Corinne was leaning on the bed head with her eyes closed, someone knocked on the door, and


    an unfamiliar 40- something woman came in.


    “Who are you looking for?” Corinne opened her eyes and


    looked warily at the woman. ‘Why would the police officers let a random stranger in? Who is she?‘


    The middle–aged woman bowed respectfully and said, “Miss Corinne, I’m the nurse that Mister Tommy


    sent. You can call me Nancy. I’ll be here to take care of your diet and your daily needs. Don’t hesitate to


    let me know if you need anything.”


    Corinne raised her eyebrows. “Tommy? Tommy Jenkinson?”


    The middle–aged woman nodded. “Yes. That’s him.”


    Corinne frowned a little. ‘Why did he hire a nurse for me out of the blue? Did Jeremy leave? Guess he


    doesn’t believe me anymore, not that I’m surprised since he and I don’t have any sort of genuine


    rtionship in the first ce! Funnily enough, he seemed to have told me that he liked me and wanted


    me not to put a wall between us, and I almost believed it.‘


    At that moment, another ruckus was heard from outside.


    “Who are you? Why won’t you let me in? Don’t stand in my way! My aunt is inside! I want to go in and


    see her…” It was Annie’s voice.


    When Corinne heard that, she said to the nurse, “Could you tell the police to let that girl in? She’s my


    niece–inw.”


    Nancy nodded and did as she was told. Nancy brought Annie in


    some timeter, but she had a frown on her face and wasining somewhat angrily. “This is


    absurd! I didn’te for a day, and now all this has happened! This is unjust, I say!”


    Corinne looked at Annie, then at the thermos sk she was carrying. “What delicacies do you have for


    me today?”


    Annie raised the thermos in her hand. “Oh, this? Auntie, this is some chicken soup that I asked my


    mother to make for you. People always say that it’s best to drink soup when you’re sick! Maybe your


    hand will heal faster once you drink it!”


    Corinne smiled. “Thanks. I’m actually feeling a little puckish right now! Could you please fill a bowl for


    me and let it cool a little, Nancy?”


    “Sure thing, Miss Corinne,” Nancy said. She stepped forward, took the thermos from Annie’s hand, and


    went to one side to prepare it.


    Annie looked at Nancy, then at the handcuffs on Corinne’s hands and feet, and pouted uneasily. “Are


    you just going to let them handcuff you like this?”


    Corinne shrugged and smiled indifferently. “I’m a suspect now, so it’s understandable for the police to


    do this and stop me from escaping.”


    Annie huffed in anger. “Suspect, my foot! You’d never stoop to something so low! This makes me so


    bad!”


    Corinne was stunned for a moment, and she felt a little sad when she saw how much Annie believed


    her even though they did not spend much time together. Jeremy, on the other hand…


    Perhaps there was no point thinking about him at such a time.


    She had stopped thinking about it when Annie somehow brought it up angrily. And then there’s the


    heartless Uncle Jeremy! Fern at wh a time, he still figh


    Midway through her gemtener. Annie deemed reluctant to continue be the was worried about bad


    consequences.

    Corinne only managed to get half of it, and it was natural for her to feel curious. “What did he do?”
