Chapter 842


    “Maxwell…” Phoebe’s eyes reddened as tears streamed down her face.


    Maxwell did not pity her and ignored her despite her crying. He went to the hospital bed, pulled a chair


    to sit, and looked quietly looking at his still-unconscious son.


    After watching Anya leave the ward, Corinne turned around to look at the tearful Phoebe.


    Phoebe and Anya were like two peas in a pod. She could cry at the drop of a hat, much like her


    daughter. s, Phoebe’s song and dance did not seem to strike a chord with Maxwell.


    Although Phoebe was a middle-aged woman, she maintained a youthful figure and wrinkle- free face


    thanks to the Riveras’s money. Sadly, her pitiful act was unable to capture Maxwell’s


    attention.


    Maxwell appeared to be extremely cold toward Phoebe. As if sleeping in a separate bed was not bad


    enough, he did not even bother to take a second look at her.


    Corinne’s impression of her biological father did not improve just because he was indifferent toward


    Phoebe, of course. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and sneered coldly in disgust. Shameless old


    scumbag! You cheated on my mother with Phoebe, and now that Phoebe’s your wife, you got bored of


    her and gave her the cold shoulder. For all we know, you might have a new lover, you jerk!”

    Maxwell then nced at her as if he sensed her gaze on him.


    Corinne then turned her face away in disgust and said, “It’s so stuffy in here, Jeremy. Come out with


    me and get some air!”


    “Okay.” Jeremy stepped forward, ced his hands over her shoulders, and went out with her.


    He had no interest to participate in the Riveras’s affairs and was simply there to keep Corinne


    Since she wanted to get some fresh air, he was happy to apany her there.


    Lucas noticed that his younger sister’s clothes were a little thin, so he took off his coat and stepped


    forward to put it on her. “Wear a coat. It’ll be cold in the corridor with the windows open…”


    Jeremy raised his arms to prevent Lucas from draping the coat over her. He did not even bother to wait


    for her to express her opinion. “She can use mine.”


    He then took off his coat and put it on Corinne.


    Lucas frowned, took back his coat, and draped it over his arm. He kept quiet, but he nned to go with


    them because he was worried about his sister.


    Corinne did not turn around to look at him, but she heard Lucas’s footsteps from behind and stopped


    him gently. “We don’t need a third wheel with us, Mister Lucas. You should stay and take care of your


    brother.”


    He felt that he owed his sister a lot, so he was afraid to make her unhappy. As a result, he stopped


    walking and sald to Jeremy, “Take good care of her, Jeremy,”


    Jeremy shot him a cold look. “I don’t need your advice.”


    Lucas remained silent. He could only sigh weakly as he watched his younger sister being led out by


    Jeremy He did not mind it if his younger sister did not want to talk to him as long as she was safe and


    happy
