Chapter 855


    Corinne smiled harmlessly and asked, “By the way, Miss Anya, could you please tell me how you


    rescued Mister Jeremy all those years ago? He’s old, and his memory isn’t very good, so whenever I


    ask him about it, he says he forgot all the details. Could you tell me what


    happened?”


    Jeremy was speechless. ‘Old? I might be older than you, but I’m not old enough to have dementia!


    How could she call me old in front of other people?”


    Anya’s expression became a little shifty when Corinne asked that. “Well… It’s been too long, and my


    memory is a little hazy on the details.”


    Corinne frowned as if annoyed. “How is that possible? Didn’t you just say you fell in love with Mister


    Jeremy at first sight that day? How could you forget the most memorable day of your life? Tell me


    whatever you remember!”

    After what happened earlier, Anya did not want to talk anymore because she learned her lesson not to


    talk too much.


    She pretended as if she had been forced to question and blinked uneasily. “Are you trying to use that to


    warn me because you’re still worried that I’d have inappropriate thoughts about Jeremy? I can promise


    you that I won’t ever-”


    Corinne shook her head and interrupted with a smile. “What’s there for me to be afraid of? If you had


    chance of being with him in the first ce, you would’ve been together with him before I even came


    into the picture!”


    any


    Anya’s face turned ugly for a moment, and she gritted her teeth while continuing to feign uneasiness.


    “Then what are you-


    Corinne answered heartily, “I’m just curious about Mister Jeremy’s past! Please don’t read too much


    into it. I’m asking this because I treat you as a friend! You just need to tell me what you remember.


    Treat it like a story! If you’re so reluctant to tell me, then does that mean you no longer consider me a


    friend?”


    Anya was speechless. ‘When did Corinne learn how to use her words like I do?’ After being put on the


    spot like that, Anya had no choice but to tell Corinne.


    She bit the bullet and said, “There wasn’t anything special about what happened back then. Jeremy


    just got bit by a venomous snake and lost his eyesight due to the venom.


    Coincidentally, I found him when I was passing by that area, so I helped him suck out the venom from


    the wound. Since I was still young at the time, I was a little reckless and didn’t spit everything out. A


    small amount of poison remained in my body, which caused me to have problems with my reproductive


    health for many years. That was more or less what happened…


    In the process of narrating the story, Anya made a point to mention her ‘long-standing issues ‘with her


    reproductive health due to the snake venom.


    Corinne seemed to be listening carefully to the story, and she had an attentive yet curious look in her


    eyes. “Oh? How did you find Mister Jeremy at that time? I heard that the entire incident happened in


    the countryside. Why would you, the daughter of a wealthy family, be staying in the countryside?”


    Anya’s expression began to waver. “Well… At that time, we were escaping the summer heat in a


    summer resort that our family built in the countryside! I heard some movement in the grass when I was


    ying outside alone, and that was where I found Jeremy…”


    After hearing that, Corinne tilted her head curiously. “You must’ve been a child at that time, right? Why


    were you ying alone away from the vi? I don’t think your parents would’ve allowed you to do


    something like that.”
