The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Corinne talked with her mother while Jeremy sat
quietly on the side and peeled some apples for them. Despite Corinne's insistence that he should strain his injured arm, he brushed her concerns off and assured her that he was fine. Nonetheless, his arm injury led him to skip work in the afternoon and delegate his tasks to his subordinates.
Evening soon came, and Corinne was contemplating what to order for dinner when a knock was heard on the ward door. Jeremy rose to answer it, and his face turned cold when he saw that Adam had visited them.
Adam's attitude was just as sour. He scrutinized Jeremy from head to toe and seemed to pay a particular focus on his legs before sneering, "Your legs seem just fine. Kudos for putting on that act!" Jeremy narrowed his eyes and retorted, "I had no reason to be honest with you people."
Adam was about to mock him further when Melinda intervened promptly. "Mister Jeremy, I brought him here to apologize to you and Corinne."
'Apologize?' Jeremy thought to himself. He doubted whether Adam truly understood the nature of all those transgressions. He nevertheless nodded at Melinda and went to sit by Corinne's side. Melinda then led Adam into the ward and closed the door.
Corinne became wary when she saw Adam, and Melinda smiled awkwardly before offering, "We've brought dinner. You and your mother should eat some." Lilin handed the takeout box to Corinne and said, "Try it. It's delicious."
Corinne took the box and placed it on a nearby cabinet. She then said rigidly, "You came at the right time, Aunt Melinda. I was just thinking about what to order for dinner when you showed up with all this food." Melinda smiled drily. "You don't need to order takeout, then. Eat it while it's hot! I ordered a few of your mother's favorite dishes since I wasn't sure what you like."
Corinne smiled faintly and remarked, "I'm in no hurry to eat. I'm sure you brought him here for a reason."
Melinda could only nod in response to Corinne's question. "He's here to apologize to you and Mister Jeremy. Our family was responsible for three years' worth of separation from your family. We'd like to apologize." She then turned to Adam and said, "Go on! Apologize to them!"
