“Yes, Corinne?” said Anya as she turned.

Corinne raised her eyebrow and said, “If he’s thirsty, I’d highly suggest you bring him some water

instead of a soft drink. Soft drinks aren’t that thirst-quenching, and two, he doesn’t like them.”

A hint of hatred flashed across Anya’s eyes. “Is that so? But Jeremy specifically asked me to bring him

some soft drinks. If I didn’t know any better, Corinne, I would’ve thought you don’t really know him that

well at all.”

“Alright, then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Corinne with a smirk after sipping her juice.

Anya hated how Corinne always remained unfazed by her insults; it was like throwing punches. at the

air and did nothing to assuage the anger in her heart. Anya scoffed and left with the soft drink in her

hand.

Seeing this, Lucas glanced worriedly at Corinne before he got up and followed Anya upstairs.

Jason immediately sat on the seat Lucas just vacated. He then picked up a plate of cut oranges and

offered it to Corinne. “Here, Corinne. Have some oranges. It’ll cool you down.”

Corinne threw him an annoyed look before saying, “Are you stupid? How can eating oranges cool you

down?”

Instead of getting angry, Jason simply smiled and said, “Well, have some water, then. You have to put

out that fire inside of you somehow.”

“Thank you, but that won’t be necessary since I’m not angry at all. You, however, should wash that

mouth of yours with soap and water.”

Jason shrugged and popped the orange into his mouth while he flirtatiously wiggled his eyebrows at

Corinne.

Sensing him looking at her, Corinne turned and was immediately greeted by his eyes. ‘Man, I’ve gotta

hand it to him. He must be the first man in the universe who can make eating. oranges look sexy.’

Meanwhile, back in the guest room upstairs.

“Jeremy, you must be thirsty. Here, drink this,” said Anya as she offered him the soft drink. Jeremy was

sitting by the bed and looking tenderly at the half-unconscious, feverish Joey. He took a glance at the

soft drink and said coldly, “No, thanks. I don’t like soft drinks. You can have it instead.”

Anya’s hand froze in mid-air. Her heart throbbed with anger when she recalled Corinne’s warning to

her. Not wanting to force Jeremy to drink the soft drink, she simply put it aside.

“Joey looks to be settling down now that you’re here, Jeremy,” said Anya gently as she looked at Joey.

“Did you give him his medicine before you came? Why is the fever not subsiding?” asked Jeremy.

Anya nodded. “I did give him the fever medicine, but the doctor said there’s a chance the fever was due

to anxiety. The poor kid must’ve really wanted to see you…”

‘What anxiety could a one-year-old kid have?’ thought Jeremy. He frowned and checked the time on his

wristwatch. ‘It’s getting late. That little rascal must be getting tired.’

“Jeremy, you should go down to check on Corinne. I’ll stay here with Anya and Joey instead,” said

Lucas lightly as he walked into the room.
