Chapter 476
At first, Rosie wanted to order Corinne to run the errand. However, she thought that Corinne might still be
harboring ill intentions and might do something to Joey’s water. In the end, she glared at Corinne with disgust and
decided to buy it herself.
Not long after that, Anya came out of the consultation room with Joey in her arms.
There were no signs of concern or caution that a mother worrying about her child’s injury should have on Anya’s
beautiful face. On the contrary, she was smiling sweetly at Corinne. “You’re quite good, Corinne! I’ve meticulously
designed this setup today, yet you’re able to dodge it so easily!”
Anya revealed her true colors. Corinne was not surprised at all, but she got to know a new side of her.
In the past, she only felt that Anya was a hypocrite and a scheming person. At that moment, Corinne felt that this
woman who looked weak and harmless was far scarier than she imagined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnya used the health of her child-who was so young that he could not speak and tell his experience verbally-to
create trouble. She truly would go to any lengths!
Corinne curled her lips coldly. “You flatter me, Miss Anya. I’m not as good as you. You’re able to do such cruel things
to your son. Aren’t you afraid that his father will find out?”
Anya was still beaming. She said without fear and with certainty. “His father won’t know! Because the doctor said
just now that Joey, like you, just has an allergy! The bruises on his body were caused by coming in contact with
unknown allergens! No matter who asked, that’s what the doctor would say.”
Corinne was stunned, but she understood it very quickly. The reason Anya asked Rosie to leave the room earlier
was probably to get a chance to bribe the doctor.
Looking at the boy in Anya’s arms, who looked frightened and overly well-behaved, Corinne could not help but pity
him. He was truly a poor thing to have such a mother.
“He’s your son. How could you have the heart to do this?”
Anya did not care. She was still smiling as she looked at her son in her arms. “Corinne, there’s no need for
you to worry
about other people’s family affairs. You may leave now. Jeremy will be coming to the hospital in a while to pick us
up!”
Corinne felt her chest tighten a little when she heard Anya mention Jeremy’s name.
She took a deep breath, ignoring the feeling in her chest, and said to Anya in a businesslike manner, Mister Lucas
asked me to make sure you and your son are safe before I can return to the office, so I have to wait for Mister
Jeremy’s arrival and watch him pick both of you up before I leave.”
Seeing that Corinne had no intention to leave, Anya frowned, feeling wary. “Corinne, I thought you didn’t want
Jeremy to see you. Why are you insisting on leaving after he arrives? You can’t have changed your mind and want
to take this chance to seduce Jeremy, can you?”
Corinne chuckled. “Don’t worry. I won’t let Mister Jeremy see me. I just need to make sure you and your son are

Anya stared at her, feeling skeptical. Her eyes showed that she was still a little wary and uneasy. “Corinne, you
better not have any ideas that you shouldn’t have about Jeremy. Otherwise-” xo.com fast update
Before she managed to finish her threat, she was cut off by Rosie, who returned from purchasing a bottle of water.
“Anya, why are you out here? What did the doctor say about Joey’s condition?”
Anya’s expression immediately changed. She went back to looking innocent like how she was always in
front of her family and friends. “You don’t have to worry, Rosie. The doctor said Joey was just having an allergic
reaction. He was not abused by somebody.”
Rosie handed the bottle of water to Anya. “Allergy? What’s Joey allergic to? You have to check for the allergen
properly and pay more attention in the future!”
Anya nodded. “Mm-hmm. The nurse would be coming in a while to draw Joey’s blood for the test!”
“What should Joey do now? What treatment does he need?”
“The doctor said he needs to be hospitalized for an IV drip.”
Corinne could not help but frown when she heard Anya say that the child would be getting an IV drip. He did not
have an allergy. It was probably not good to give him an IV drip like he was having an allergic reaction. Why would
Anya have the heart to torture her child like this?
