Chapter 1308


    Corinne panicked and tried to stop Jeremy’s bleeding by pressing one hand onto his gaping hole while


    she called the emergency hotline with the other hand. However, her hand was shaking so much that


    she kept pressing on the wrong number.


    Jeremy’s face became paler as he lost more blood, but that did not stop him from feebly smiling and


    saying weakly, “Little rascal, can you forgive me now?”


    Corinne nodded rapidly as tears streamed down her face. “Please don’t die…”


    Jeremy’s eyes gradually lost focus before he closed them for thest time.


    “No!” screamed Corinne, waking up in shock.


    “Miss Corinne, are you okay?”


    Corinne opened her eyes and saw the maid looking worriedly at her


    “Miss Corinne, you’re sweating a lot. Are you unwell? Shall I call for the doctor?”


    Corinne shook her head and shakily replied, “I’m fine.”


    The maid passed her some tissue to wipe away her sweat before pouring a ss of water for her.


    Corinne was still slightly breathing hard while the pain in her chest never subsided. The dream was so


    real that she could not shake off the feeling, even though she kept telling herself it was just a dream.


    She just wanted him to stay away from her, not die!


    ‘Ugh, this is so suffocating. But why would I dream about something like this?’ wondered Corinne.


    She took the ss of warm water from the maid’s hand and drank it before letting out a long sigh of


    relief.


    At that moment, Sunny came back looking sad.


    ‘Huh? Have I slept that long?’ thought Corinne.


    Corinne took another sip of water before asking Sunny, “How did it go? Did you manage to make Xante


    fall head over heels with you?”


    Sunny ignored her and strode up the stairs forlornly.


    Not only did Xante not fall head over heels with him, but shepletely ignored him! She would not


    even go to lunch with him!


    ‘Do I really look ridiculous dressed like this? Sh*t! Women are so hard to please!’ thought Sunny.


    Corinne raised an eyebrow as she watched Sunny go up the stairs like a sad puppy. She was not


    surprised at the oue at all. She knew Xante hated pretentious people the most, so it was not


    surprising she would ignore Sunny.


    Corinne checked her phone again. There were no more messages from Jeremy. ‘Huh… This is rare,’


    she thought. However, she could not help but feel anxious at the same time. ‘No, I shouldn’t overthink


    things.’


    After all, no one in the world would dare to cross Jeremy. Doing so was as good as courting death.


    Corinne rewatched some of her favorite series to stop herself from overthinking after she had her


    lunch, which had been specially prepared by the nutritionist Lucas hired for her.

    When evening came, Lucas walked in with Edmund, who was carrying two bags full of groceries in his


    hands.


    Lucas walked over to her and stroked her hair. “Corinne, I’m back. I’ve bought all the ingredients for the


    barbeque you’ve been craving for. It’ll be ready soon.”


    “Oh, thanks,” said Corinne absent-mindedly.


    Lucas sat gracefully beside her after one of the servants helped him out of his jacket.


    “I’ve also brought you something you’ve been wishing for!”
