Chapter 285

Amazingly, Corinne left the man stumped with just a few words.

Jeremy leaned lazily against the door frame and placed his hands on his belt. There was a gentle sense of pride as he watched his wife gain the upper hand against Lucas. ‘That’s my girl!‘

He then walked over and asked, “Why did you come out instead of resting in your ward?”

Corinne saw that Jeremy had come out of Ward 302 at some point and was walking toward her, which drew a frown from her as she said unhappily, “I’ve been sleeping too much and I’m bored, so I thought of coming out to check whether or not you’re still alive.”

Jeremy’s expression turned sullen, but he seemed to have gotten used to her ability to irritate people and was not angry as a result.

His big rough hands covered the top of her head and massaged her impudently. “Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’m still alive. Were you disappointed?”

Corinne dodged the man’s touch smoothly by moving a step. She despised having him touch her when his hand had just been hugging another woman! Tiredness began to sink in, so Corinne waved her little swollen gauze -wrapped hands and said, “Carry on, folks. I won’t be joining your conversation anymore!”

She then turned and left.

Jeremy followed Corinne naturally, and Anya ran out suddenly to hold the corner of his clothes. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Don’t go, Jeremy! Stay with me, please. I’m scared…

Jeremy paused and looked at Anya. Rather than responding directly to her, he looked up at her brother Lucas and said, ” My family is very strict, and it’s inconvenient for me to take care of your sister.”

Lucas’s eyes dimmed slightly, and he nodded gracefully.‘ Understood.”

Jeremy then calmly broke away from Anya’s hand and said to her, “Your brother is here to keep you company. Rest well.” He then picked up the pace with steady steps and caught up with Corinne who was far ahead of him.

Anya wanted to catch up when she saw Jeremy leave, but Lucas took his younger sister’s arm and advised her kindly, “Be good, Anya. He’s already married.”

Anya shook her head aggrievedly. “I know that Jeremy only got married to deal with his old man. He never really intended to marry…”

Lucas reminded her in a gentle but stern tone, “Whatever his reasons for marrying, the fact remains that he’s married. You’re an innocent girl, Anya. Don’t get too close to married men in the future. Listen to my advice!”

Anya burst into tears. “But Lucas, I want Jeremy. I’m scared…”

Lucas looked very distressed, so he hugged his sister in his arms to comfort her. “I’m here. Don’t be scared.”

Her elder brother’s patient comforting allowed Anya’s mood to calm down slightly. Her bitter cries soon became soft sobs.

At that moment, Lucas received a call, prompting him to take out his cell phone and look at the caller ID. His eyes darkened, and he said to Rosie who was staring infatuatedly at him,

Could you please help Anya back to the ward? Stay with her while I take this call.”

Rosie blushed and nodded tenderly. “Okay, Lucas. Don’t worry. I promise I’ll take good care of Anya.”

Upon seeing Rosie coax Anya into the ward, Lucas closed his eyes and answered the phone. The person on the other end was one of his capable subordinates. “Sir, the two unclaimed female bones, one large and one small, that were found in Westrise Village have been compared with your DNA. They’re not a match, which means they couldn’t have been the madam and the young lady who disappeared all those years ago.”

“Keep searching. I want to know for sure if they’re dead or alive.”

“Understood!”

Lucas pinched his eyebrows after ending the call. 15 years ago, several complex family conflicts led his mother to run away with his five–year– old sister, and the two have disappeared without a word since then. Many people said that they were dead, but he would not give up looking for them until he could locate their bones. Lucas snapped back to his senses and told the secretary beside him, “Edmund, could you have someone find out where Corinne is from? She looks like a very capable woman, and I don’t want her to bully Anya.”

“Yes, sir.” Edmund heeded Lucas’s order and added, “That would explain why she isn’t swayed by the check you gave her. She must have even bigger ambitions, and what she wants is to secure her position as Missus Holden and gain the Holdens‘ assets! I’m afraid Miss Anya might not have a chance with

Mister Jeremy anymore…

Lucas frowned lightly and narrowed his eyes.

It would be difficult for Anya and Jeremy to get together even without Corinne in the picture. The beef between the Riveras and the Holdens was a family feud, and although the enmity between the younger generation has faded and they were not at odds with each other whenever they ran into the other

party, it would still be difficult for the families to be related by marriage if the elders of the older generation were still alive.

Alas, Anya just had to fall in love with a man whom she should not have.
