Chapter 536


    Anya stayed in the ward to watch over Joey but her mind kept anxiously drifting back to Jeremy. She


    was not that worried about Joey since the doctor already told her his condition already stabilized and


    this would not affect his health in any other way.


    The reason he was hospitalized was because the doctor was worried Joey’s wound would get infected


    from improper caring so it was best to monitor him for a few days in the hospital. No, what Anya was


    worried about was why Jeremy asked to have a word with Corinne in private.


    ‘Why isn’t he back yet? What the h*11 are they talking about that it needs them to take so long?


    ‘thought Anya.


    Joey fell asleep on the bed due to the overwhelming pain. From time to time, he would make a


    whimpering noise.


    ‘Poor child. He’s not even at the age where he can talk yet,’ thought Lucas, who was standing over the


    bed and looking down at him with a serious expression on his face. How could he, Joey’s uncle, not be


    angered when he saw how much pain his nephew was in?


    ‘Corinne is the root of all problems! Trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes! Not only is she a


    threat to Anya’s rtionships with Jeremy but there’s a chance she might put her and Joey’s safety at


    risk.’

    He regretted hiring her to work for him. Yes, she was a very capable woman at work and yes, she


    helped his grandfather once before, so Lucas did not want to leave her with no recourse. However, he


    did not like it when Corinne repeatedly challenged his limits by bullying and hurting Anya!


    ‘I must hire someone to get rid of Corinne for the sake of Anya’s safety and emotional health!’ thought


    Lucas. He then went outside of the ward to make a call.


    Not long after that, Jeremy came into the ward.


    Anya’s eyes immediately lit up. She stood up and went to greet him, “Jeremy, you’re back!”


    However, she quickly realized something was not right. ‘Why is he back alone? Where’s Corinne?’


    Anya took another look behind him to make sure there was no Corinne before asking quizzically,


    “Jeremy, where’s Corinne? Is she still in denial about what she did?”


    Jeremy looked at her indifferently and answered, “She has already left.”


    “What? She has already left?!” said the stunned Anya.


    Jason – who scrolled through his phone and waited for Corinne toe back – also stood up and


    walked over to Jeremy.


    “Jeremy, where did Corinne go?”


    Jeremy threw him a nce and answered, “I don’t know.”


    Jason frowned but he let it go at that. He made a mental note to himself to call Corier.


    Anya’s eyes became filled with resentment and tears.


    “Jeremy, how could she just leave like that? How could she just leave when she was the one who put


    our kid into the hospital?!”


    Jeremy’s eyes darkened when he saw Anya looked like she was about to cry.


    “Why do you keep insisting Corinne was the one who hurt Joey?”


    Anya was stunned. She raised her head and said woefully. “Because, because I saw she did it with my


    own two eyes!”


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “How sure are you about that?”
