Chapter 618


    Corinne immediately understood what Jeremy implied, causing her to instinctively avert her eyes away


    from his.


    “What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I take anything that belongs to your family?”


    After saying that, she quickly opened the door in a bid to get out of the car. However, just like the first


    time, she failed to do that because the door was locked again.


    Jeremy moved closer to her, so close that she could feel his warm breath on her neck. “Why are you


    panicking if you said you didn’t steal anything?”


    Corinne was shocked by his closeness that she suddenly went limp with numbness. “What do you think


    you’re doing? Get away from me!”


    Her instinct caused her to push him away, but instead of doing that, she identally punched his left


    eye, exactly where he was bleeding.


    Jeremy let out a muffled groan, and his hand immediately shot up to cover his left eye. The pain was so


    intense that his brows became tightly drawn.


    Seeing that made Corinne panic even more. “I’m sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. Is your eye


    okay?”


    Jeremy’s face darkened, and he stared at her coldly with his good eye. “What do you think?”


    Corinne mentally berated herself for being so clumsy. Her usually calm voice actually started to waver


    when she said, “I’m really, really sorry. Does it still hurt?”


    “Of course, it still hurts!”


    ‘It must be very painful for a man like him to admit it! Oh no, he’s not going to go blind, is he?’


    The more Corinne thought about it, the more worried she became. Not caring about anything else, she


    quickly turned to look at Edmund-who was staring at them with his mouth agape-and ordered, “What


    are you still waiting for? Take Mister Jeremy to the hospital now!”


    “Yes… Of course!”


    Edmund snapped out of his shock and immediately started the car.


    On the ride to the hospital, Corinne never once asked to be let off the car. Instead, she kept a watchful


    eye on the road.


    ‘Good thing there’s no traffic. Please let it be this way all through the hospital so we can arrive faster.”


    After that, she looked at Jeremy, and worry started rising in her heart again when she saw him still


    covering his eye with his hand.


    She moved closer to him and asked, “Umm… Mister Jeremy, why don’t you put down your hand so I


    can -check on your eye?”


    Jeremy raised his right eyebrow. He looked at her suspiciously and said nothing. Instead, he simply


    moved his hand away to show that he had heard her.

    Corinne straightened herself up to meet him at eye level before leaning forward. ‘Seems like he’s


    bleeding more than before…’


    She felt a stab in her heart as she frowned and looked worriedly at Jeremy.


    “How painful is it?” she asked in a small voice.


    “It’s excruciating,” replied Jeremy coldly.


    ‘He’s in pain! What should I do? Corinne looked to her left and right for something to help ease his


    pain, but there was nothing like that in the car.


    Running out of ideas, she turned to thest resort. “Why don’t I blow on it to help ease the pain?”


    Jeremy was a little taken aback at her suggestion. He did not say yes or no, so Corinne took his


    silence. as consent. She moved closer to him and blew carefully on his eye.


    Jeremy quietly closed his eyes to enjoy the moment. Corinne’s warm breath tickled his eyelid. The


    whole thing felt like afortable eye massage, and it certainly helped ease the pain.


    Seeing the knot between his brow loosening, Corinne knew her idea was working, so she continued to


    blow on his eye when suddenly, Jeremy opened his eyes. The pair found themselves looking straight


    into each other’s eyes.


    They were immensely close to each other-so close that they could feel each other’s breath on their skin
