Chapter 831
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Jeremy stroked Corinneâs head. He knew she was worried, even though she did not show it.
âWe can go to the hospital to check on Sunny if youâre worried,â he said softly.
Corinne nodded, so Jeremy stepped on the accelerator to catch up with the ambulance.
At the hospital, outside of the emergency ward.
The doctor took off his mask and announced sternly, âAfter preliminary examination, we confirmed that
the patient is suffering from acute gastrointestinal bleeding.â
Phoebe started to panic. âWhat?! Gastrointestinal bleeding? Why would that suddenly happen to my
son?â
âWe suspect itâs caused by food poisoning. What did the patient eat today?â the doctor asked.
Phoebeâs eyes flickered guiltily, and she subconsciously exchanged glances with Anya before
answering the doctor, âMy son had all his three meals at home today, and Iâm pretty sure the food at
our house is clean! Besides, we all ate the same thing as him and weâre fine, so it canât be food
poisoning!â
âWe can rule out food poisoning if the patient is the only one who has gastrointestinal bleeding after
eating the same food as you all. This is more likely an allergic reaction, then.â Phoebe nodded rapidly.
âYes, that must be it! Oh, doctor, you have to save my son no matter what.â
âYes, doctor. Please save my brother!â cried Anya too.
âIt was a good thing the patient was brought to the hospital just in time. His life is in no critical condition
after we administered some medicines, but whether thereâll be after-effects. from this depends on the
cause of the gastrointestinal bleeding,â said the doctor.
âWhat kind of after-effects would he have?â asked Phoebe worriedly.
âItâs hard to say. He needs to undergo a blood test to confirm whether itâs really an allergic reaction first.
Then, weâll be able to see just what weâre dealing with.â
After that, the doctor put his mask back on and turned to leave.
âWait, doctor!â Corinne called out just as Phoebe sighed in relief.
The doctor stopped, and both he and the Riveras turned to look at Corinne.
Corinne was walking from the other end of the corridor with Jeremy following closely behind her.
Both Phoebe and Anya frowned when they saw this. âThis canât be good.â
What made Anya even more upset was seeing Jeremy with Corinne.
The doctor looked quizzically at Corinne. âYes, how can I help you? Are you the family of the patient
too?â
Corinne stood in front of the doctor and shook her head. âNo, Iâm not, but I was there when
the patient collapsed too. We were all having dinner together, so I might be able to give you some clues
to his condition.â
The doctor nodded. âAlright, then. Iâm listening.â
Corinne was about to answer him when Anya suddenly burst out in tears, saying, âCorinne, my brother
is still inside the emergency ward. Stop causing trouble for the doctor and let him go back in to save
Sunny first!â
Corinne looked at her coldly. âDidnât you hear what I said to the doctor? How is that causing trouble for
him?â
Anya deliberately stood in between Corinne and the doctor. Wiping her tears, she said, âMy mom and I
told the doctor everything that happened, so thereâs no need for you to repeat the same thing. This will
only delay the doctor going back to save Sunny!â
