Chapter 1397


    “Hello, ma’am,” came the voice on the other end of the phone. Only Tommy would call her that.


    Corinne frowned and asked cautiously, “Why are you answering the phone? Aren’t you with Jeremy?”


    On the other end of the line, Tommy stood in the guest room of Adam Manor and watched anxiously as


    several professional doctors treated Jeremy’s injuries. They tended to his flesh and skin wounds while


    applying bandages to his legs. Jeremy’s face was pale, and there were glistening beads of sweat on


    his forehead due to the pain.

    He had been with Jeremy for many years and had never seen him beaten up like that before. Jeremy


    might be able to endure that suffering, but Tommy could not bear to deal with it. However, confronting


    Adam directly would render Jeremy’s earlier ordeal meaningless, and all the pain Jeremy went through


    would end up in vain.


    Jeremy endured all that with the singr motive of ensuring that the marriage certificate to Sophia


    would be annulled without anyplications. It would ensure that they no longer owed each other


    anything. He wanted to be with Corinne in an upfront manner and without any baggage.


    Tommy remembered Jeremy’s instructions when handing over the jacket, so he took a deep breath and


    pretended to answer calmly, “He fell asleep because he was a little tired.”


    ‘He fell asleep?’ Corinne thought to herself. She felt that something was amiss because it was


    supposed to be daytime in Molomia. Jeremy had just arrived after a flight thatsted more than 20


    hours, though, so he might have been exhausted from the jeg.


    “Have you reached Sophia’s house?” she inquired.


    Tommy felt guilty but managed to lie wlessly. “We haven’t arrived yet. Mister Jeremy is resting in the


    car. Would you like to speak with him? I can wake him up if you want.”


    After some consideration, Corinne decided against it. “It’s fine. You don’t have to longer, but tell him to


    call me back when he wakes up.”


    Tommy replied. “Of course. Don’t worry. He’s perfectly fine.”


    “All right, then,” Corinne replied, feeling somewhat reassured. She hung up the phone and turned


    around to see Joey falling asleep with the bottle in hand.


    She ced her phone down and took a deep breath. At the same time, she reminded herself not to be


    overly anxious and to trust in Jeremy. He promised her that he would return, and she knew he would


    keep his promise.


    Meanwhile, Tommy breathed a sigh of relief after ending the call. He had been extremely nervous


    because he feared that Corinne might sense that something was amiss. Her due date was anytime


    soon, and she could not afford to go through any additional stress. Finding out about Jeremy’s injuries


    would certainly make her anxious.


    Thankfully, he had not let anything slip.


    Nheless, Corinne would likely call again soon to check on Jeremy, and Tommy did not know how to


    handle that situation.


    He then put away Jeremy’s phone and saw that the doctors had finished treating Jeremy’s injuries.


    They exined the situation to him and described Jeremy’s injuries as being rather severe. By their


    examination, Adam had been very ruthless. Fortunately, none of the injuries affected his vital organs,


    and Jeremy would be back on his feet after several months of rehabilitation.


    Tommy nodded after understanding everything and signaled for the doctors to leave the room.


    Once the doctors had left, Sophia and Melinda entered the room after waiting outside for some time.


    Since they were women, they tactfully remained outside because Jeremy’s clothes would have to be


    taken off for the treatment.


    The doctors’ exit demonstrated that Jeremy’s treatment wasplete, so they decided toe in.
