Chapter 844
Jeremy was speechless at Corinne’s sensitive logic.
After what she said, he would seem guilty if he did not agree to sign such an agreement.
He could not help what she thought, though. Due to her rough experience in life, she had little sense of
security even in a marriage, so it was understandable for her to request such an agreement.
If that could make her feel more at ease, then he was fine with signing it ording to her wishes. After
all, separating from her was out of the question.
Back inside the ward, Sunny finally woke up after a long period of unconsciousness. Maxwell’s frown
eased a little when he saw his son wake up. “How do you feel, Sunny?” Lucas was sitting in pensive
silence on the sofa not far away, but he snapped back to his senses after hearing Maxwell’s question
and got up to approach the hospital bed.
Sunny opened his eyes, but hisplexion was still quite pale, and he had a dazed expression. He felt
ufortable all over, and he had no idea what happened. “What happened?”
Maxwell said, “Nothing serious. You got food poisoning, but you’ll be fine after resting a few days in the
hospital.”
“Oh…” Sunny was pure-hearted by nature and did not doubt Maxwell’s words at all, despite Maxwell’s
decision to omit certain details.
Lucas nced at his father and decided not to expose the half-truth. He understood Maxwell’s reasons
for saying that-it was not to protect Phoebe but to prevent Sunny from feeling crushed after knowing
the truth.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
If Sunny knew he was hospitalized because he drank the pomegranate juice his mother made and
spiked, it would deal a big blow to someone as naive as him.
It was generally very difficult for people to ept that their biological mother was a bad person, and the
entire worldview of some naive children might even copse.
There was no need to reveal the truth to Sunny, at least not until he fully recovered.
A sudden thought then urred to Sunny as he looked anxiously at Lucas sitting beside the hospital
bed. Like a child who had just done something wrong, he said weakly, “I haven’t finished my homework
yet, Lucas, but I can do itter if you get someone to bring them to the hospital.”
Lucas frowned, and he showed a rare moment of gentleness with his worrisome younger brother.
“Don’t worry about it for now. Your health is more important, and you’d still have plenty of time to finish
itter.”
Sunny breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Lucas…”
At that moment, he heard the sound of crying and turned to see his mother, who was standing
at the other end.
“Why are you crying, Mom? I’m not dead!”
Phoebe wiped her tears away. Since Maxwell and Lucas were staring coldly at her after discovering the
pomegranate juice, she felt too awkward to approach her son and show concern for him. She could
only stand by the bed and nce at him while crying, “I’m so d you’re finally awake! Thank
goodness everything’s alright…”
