Chapter 698


    Joey opened his eyes, but having just survived a near–death experience, he looked sickly pale, and he


    appeared weak even as he regained consciousness.


    After the shock, those from the Rivera immediately surrounded the child, showing their concern.


    Corinne felt herself rxing as she watched Joey regain consciousness. She stood up and moved


    back, leaning against Jeremy as she sighed in relief.


    Jeremy, on the other hand, said nothing as he gently caught her as she leaned into his embrace,


    smoothing her hair.


    Amid her shock, Anya continued to y her role. She squatted beside the child, wiped away her tears,


    and said, “Oh my god, Joey… You’re awake! I thought you were gone, my boy… You don’t know how


    scared I was!”


    At first, Joey had a confused expression, staring nkly at his surroundings, not understanding what


    had happened. However, when Anya approached to hold him, he immediately showed a terrified


    expression as if he had seen something dreadful, and he immediately burst into tears.


    Anya stiffened at this, but she continued to embrace the child’s shoulders, coaxing, “Don’t cry, Joey!


    Mommy is right here!”


    Anya’s presence did notfort him. Instead, he cried even louder and tried desperately to crawl away


    from her on the ground. Unfortunately, he was too weak and could not get up.


    Observing this, Lucas’s brow furrowed in confusion. However, due to his sister’s erratic behavior, he did


    not think much of it.


    “Anya, your emotions are too intense right now, which might upset the child. Don’t approach him for


    now. Let Joey calm down, and he’lle to you.”


    Anya blinked with a guilty conscience, pretending helplessness as she nodded. “Alright, then. I hope


    my Joey is really fine now… I’ll be happy enough.”


    In fact, what she was really worried about was not Joey’s physical condition but whether he would say


    something inappropriate after waking up instead. If Joey revealed the truth, that his head injury was


    caused by his own mother, how would Lucas and Jeremy view her in the future?


    This was terrible!


    Who would have thought that a deceased child could be brought back to life?!


    Corinne must have been a witch! Otherwise, how could she possess such extraordinary abilities that


    defy logic?


    She had used witchcraft on Jeremy before, and at this moment, she used resurrection techniques to


    revive this child!


    However, Corinne did not possess any resurrection technique. It just so happened that she had some


    knowledge of basic medicine and knew some obscure facts that ordinary people did not.


    Although a first–aid kit wasmonly found in every household, most people were unaware


    that it hid a hidden pill inside the bottle cap of the regr medicinal powder.

    The ingredients of the pill were a top–secret form, and its exactposition was unknown. When


    Corinne lived in the nunnery as a child, she once saw the nun who took her in to use that pill to revive a


    critically injured person who had lost vital signs, and she remembered that scene ever since.


    However, the pill could only be used for patients in critical condition and should not be used


    indiscriminately for minor injuries.


    When used correctly, it could save a person’s life. The prerequisite was that the person taking the


    medicine must still have vital signs.


    Fortunately, the child fought hard for his life and survived.
