Chapter 879

“She’s actually…” Jason was about to say Corinne was Jeremy’s wife when Corinne cut him off.

“We actually got to know each other through having the same illness,” quipped Corinne.

“Illness?” repeated Lola in shock.

Jason never expected Corinne would respond in such a way. He initially frowned, but he then smiled in

anticipation of what she was going to say next.

Corinne nodded. “Yeah. He and I were in the same group chat created to talk about our illness. We

were just talking about how he was doing just now.”

Lola looked questioningly at Jason. “What illness is she talking about? Jason, are you sick? Why didn’t

you tell me?”

“Uh-oh. Sounds like you haven’t told her yet, Jason,” said Corinne in mock surprise.

Jason smiled and decided to play along. “Yeah, I haven’t found the right time to tell her yet.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have been such a big blabbermouth,” said Corinne apologetically. Jason

shook his head. “It’s okay. I have to tell her sooner or later.”

Lola was immensely confused. “Jason, what illness do you have? You can’t keep this kind of

information from me!”

Before Jason could say anything. Corinne replied on his behalf, “Don’t worry, Miss Lola. What he has

isn’t serious, and he won’t die from it. It’s just a little intractable disease, that’s all. It’s contagious, but

as long as you take the necessary precautions…”

As soon as Lola heard the word, ‘contagious’, she jumped away from Jason in panic as she tried to

recall all the times she had come in contact with him. Even the two sales assistants who followed her

there instinctively took a step back.

Seeing Lola’s reaction, Corinne continued saying, “Don’t worry, Miss Lola! The chances of it passing on

to another person is very small, but it’s very hard to cure it when you get it, so…”

The flabbergasted Lola took out her phone to send a message quickly. Not five seconds after that, her

phone rang.

She smiled awkwardly and said, “Excuse me, I need to take this.”

After that, she strode to the other side and said in a loud voice in response to what the person on the

other end of the phone said, “What? Everyone’s there, and you’re all waiting for me? Oh fine, I’ll be

there in a sec!”

She then hung up the phone and turned to face Jason and Corinne. This time, she made sure to keep

her -distance from both of them. “Sorry, Jason. My besties invited me to have a spa day with them,

so…” she

trailed off awkwardly.

Jason stood up and took out his car keys. “It’s okay. Why don’t I give you a ride to the spa?”

Lola smiled forcefully and waved her hand. “No… No thanks. You should stay here with Miss Corinne!

It’s not every day you guys get to talk to each other.”

“If you say so,” said Jason ‘ruefully’. “Enjoy your spa session, then.”

“Will do. I’ll be off, then. Have fun with each other, Jason, Miss Corinne.”

After that, she ran out of the store.

The two sales assistants held the bag Lola was holding with two fingers as though they were holding

something poisonous. Then, they quickly backed away from Jason and Corinne and went to sanitize

the bag.
