Chapter 1042


    “Don’t ask me to calm down! How can I be calm when you’re going to take my precious grandson from


    me?! That’s as good as asking me to die!” screamed Phoebe hysterically.


    The lead servant sighed helplessly and ordered his subordinates. “Take Miss Phoebe and Mister Joey


    to the summer vi for now. I’ll ask Mister Cedric for further instructions after this.”


    Phoebe was not satisfied with the oue. “What? You’re not going to bring Joey to the hospital first?!


    What if something happens to him?”


    “Don’t worry, Ma’am. I’ve already checked, and Mister Joey only suffered some cuts and bruises. I’ll get


    the doctor from the clinic near the summer vi to tend to his injuries once we’re there,” said the lead


    servant.


    Phoebe frowned. “No! I don’t trust those hick doctors! Take Joey to the city’s hospital now!”


    The servants were not going to fall for her trick this time.


    “Ma’am, please understand we’re just following orders. Mister Cedric is going to severely punish us if


    we let you escape again. Take her away, boys,” said the lead servant.


    He gestured for one of his subordinates to pick up Joey. Together, they all left the apartment.Books

    As upset as she was, Phoebe knew it would be futile to keep fighting with the servants. However, she


    was notpletely without hope since she got to know from the lead servant that Jeremy still wanted


    Joey.


    ‘I can use that kid as a bargaining chip. I mustn’t let them take him away from me!’ she thought.


    …


    The next day, Corinne realized she was lying on the hospital bed when she woke up. Thest thing she


    remembered before passing out was talking to Jeremy in the stairwell.


    ‘Mister must’ve carried me to the ward,’ she thought. She lifted her heavy head to look at the clock in


    the room. It was eight something in the morning.


    ‘That means I’ve been out for nearly a day… Wait a minute, where’s Mister?’ She quickly looked


    around the room for him. However, instead of Jeremy, she found Annie sleeping on the chair beside


    her bed.


    ‘When did she get here?’


    Corinne propped herself up, and the noise woke Annie. Her eyes widened in surprise. “Corinne, you’re


    awake! Don’t move. Let me help you up!”


    She quickly got up and helped Corinne sit up after putting a pillow behind her.


    “What are you doing here? Where’s Jeremy?” asked Corinne after she made herselffortable.


    Annie spread her hands. “Uncle Jeremy had to catch a flight early in the morning for a business trip. He


    called me and asked me toe and take care of you. He didn’t feel at ease leaving you with Francine


    since he said she doesn’t know how to take care of others.”

    ‘Mister went on a business trip? Oh, that’s right. He did tell me he’d be very busy flying around in the


    coming days… But why didn’t he say goodbye to me before flying off?’


    Annie saw Corinne frowning, so she quickly exined, “Corinne, don’t get angry at Uncle Jeremy for


    not saying goodbye to you before he flew off. He didn’t have the heart to wake you up when he saw


    you were sleeping so soundly.”
