Chapter 772

Anya looked at Jason innocently. “Jason, do you have a crush on Corinne?”

“What makes you think that?” asked Jason, a little stunned.

“When I came downstairs, I happened to see you cropped out Corinne from the group photo and saved

it to your private album. Only someone who has a crush on someone else would do something like

that.”

Jason was a little taken aback, but he decided to come clean. “Yes, I do have a crush on her, but

there’s nothing I can do about it now. After all, she’s married.”

Anya shook her head. “You’ll find a way if you like someone enough. We should team up.”

Jason looked thoughtfully at Anya. Suddenly, he smiled. “What do you have in mind?”

In the car.

Annie was driving and really getting into the rock and roll music she was playing on the car speaker

while Corinne and Jeremy sat at the back, their hands still tightly locked together.

With his other hand, Jeremy stroked Corinne’s head while saying, “Thank you for standing up for me

just now. I enjoyed the show.”

Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Well, someone had to do something. The gaslighting has been going

on for long enough. You should have put your foot down a long time ago.”

Jeremy’s eyes darkened. He knew what Corinne said was true. To be honest, his frustration toward

Anya grew as time went on, and many of the things she did out of ‘love’ for him had crossed the line of

decency. However, whenever Anya brought up all the things she lost because of him, he would force

himself to comply with all her wishes out of guilt.

He sighed. “I wouldn’t have let it go for as long as it did if it weren’t for the fact that she lost the ability to

conceive and instead got an incurable health condition because of me. I’ll forever be indebted to her.”

Corinne understood how important it was for a woman to be able to have a baby, especially for a

woman who loves kids. To them, not being able to have a baby was akin to getting a death sentence.

However, Jeremy’s debt to Anya was all built on the premise that it was really her who saved him all

those years ago. Corinne had a strong gut feeling that things were not as they seemed.

She turned to Jeremy and stared into his eyes. “Mister, what was the name of the place where you

nearly lost your life? Can you tell me all the details of what happened back then?”

Jeremy collected his thoughts and started telling her the story in a low voice. “It all happened in a little

town near the Great Canyon. I was severely injured and chased after, so I hid in one of the bushes to

escape from my pursuer. I didn’t see the rattlesnake sleeping there, and I got blinded by the venom

after it

bit me.

“Anya was vacationing at the resort owned by her family at that time, and she saw him while on her

way back to the resort. She sucked the venom out and after that, tended to my wounds. But because

she didn’t fully spit out the venom, it got into her body too, and ever since then, she had been suffering

from one health condition after another-with the ultimate loss being unable to have a baby.”

“You were severely injured? Where? And who were the people chasing after you?” asked Corinne with

a worried frown.

Jeremy stroked her head. “They were my enemies. And I’m all better from the injuries, so there’s no

need

for you to know more.”

“Are your enemies still alive, then?”

“Why do you ask? Are you going to avenge me?” asked Jeremy with an eyebrow raised.

“Well, it’s best if I know everything, isn’t it? I don’t want to end up being a widow… So I might as well

strike

first and get rid of your enemies for you!” said Corinne seriously.
