Chapter 835

The doctor brought the test result to Sunny’s ward to discuss it with the Riveras. They all stood up and

approached the doctor when they saw him coming in.

“The test result on the pomegranate juice has come back, so let me explain the specific cause of the

patient’s gastrointestinal bleeding.”

Lucas nodded. “Yes, please go ahead.”

The doctor looked down at the report and continued, “The pomegranate juice is indeed-”

“Wait!” Anya suddenly walked up to the front. “Sorry to interrupt you, Doctor, but I have something to

say first.”

Lucas frowned. “What are you doing, Anya? Can’t you wait until the doctor finishes?”

“No, it cannot!” said Anya determinedly. “What happened today caused my mom a great deal of

suffering, so I must seek justice for her!”

Then, without giving a chance for Lucas to say anything, she turned to Corinne and asked with

reddened eyes, “Corinne, you were the one who said Sunny ended up like this after drinking the

pomegranate juice my mother made, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Anya turned to look at Phoebe with pain in her eyes. “Before the doctor announces the test result, I

want to swear to me, Corinne, that you’ll kneel and beg my mother for forgiveness if the test result on

the pomegranate juice comes back clean! My mother deserves nothing less than that after you dragged

her name through the mud!”

‘Kneel and beg for forgiveness? Isn’t that an overkill?’ thought Corinne.

Lucas frowned. “Don’t do this, Anya.”

Tears rolled down Anya’s face. “Lucas, I know you’ll think I’m being a bully now, but you should know

desperate times call for desperate measures… I won’t allow anyone to slander my mother like that!

Corinne can treat me however she wants, but not when it comes to Mom! And Lucas…didn’t you say

everyone must apologize when they did something wrong?”

Lucas could not come up with a retort, even though he did not agree with Anya’s way of doing things.

“Anya, stop…”

“You have my word,” said Corinne, staring at Anya. “I swear to you, Miss Anya, that I will kneel and

prostrate myself three times to Miss Phoebe if nothing’s wrong with the pomegranate juice.”

The three men present-Jeremy, Lucas, and Maxwell-immediately frowned when they heard what

Corinne said.

No one knew what the test result was since Anya cut in before the doctor could announce it. However,

one thing was for sure: Jeremy would never allow Corinne to suffer such humiliation. even if there was

nothing wrong with the pomegranate juice, nor would Lucas allow his precious long lost sister to

prostrate herself to anyone. As for Maxwell, well he thought it was an overkill too. Plus, for some

reason, he could not bear to see her kneel in front of everyone.

Phoebe was proud to have a daughter like Anya, who would come to her support when she

needed the most. She pretended to cry and wiped her tears before saying generously, “Forget it, Anya.

I’m sure Corinne didn’t mean to malign me in that way. We’ll just take it as she meant well for Sunny

and let the whole thing slide.”

Anya knew Phoebe did not have any intention to let Corinne off the hook so easily, meaning it was just

a show. She said woefully, “No! We cannot forget it just like this. Neither Dad nor Lucas believed you,

so 1, as your daughter, must seek justice for you. I won’t allow any outsider to escape accusing you like

that. I can forgive a lot, but not this!”
