The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jeremy led Corinne to the pediatric ward.
Joey sat absent-mindedly on the bed, eating an apple that Francine had peeled for him.
Greg and Pamela's worried expressions faded when they saw Corinne entering.
"Corinne! You're awake, too!"
"Thank God!"
Corinne nodded toward Greg and Pamela. She then released Jeremy's hand and quickly walked to the bedside. Tears fell as she looked at Joey.
'He's alright. Joey really is alright...' thought Corinne.
When Joey saw Corinne, he instantly released the apple in his hand and threw himself into Corinne's arms.
"Mommy... I thought I'd never see you again..."
Corinne hugged him tightly. "Mommy's here! I'll never lose you again!"
"Mommy..."
There was not a dry eye in that ward. Jeremy also subtly furrowed his eyebrows, his emotions quietly dancing behind his slightly reddened eyes.
He turned to ask Francine, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at home looking after the other three?"
Francine wiped away her tears and said, "Don't worry! We've got more than enough people at home to protect them. I even asked Chester to stay with the kids. I was just too worried about Joey, so I came with Grandpa and Grandma to check on him. I'll go home shortly!"
Jeremy nodded. "Take Grandpa and Grandma back home with you. We have enough people here."
Pamela chimed in immediately. "Jeremy, we're fine! Even if you send us back home, we won't be able to sleep. It's better for us to stay here with Joey. Plus, Corinne needs to rest too, so let us help you out a bit. We're here for you!"
"Grandma, you and Grandpa should know your health better than anyone. If anything happens, it'll only complicate things for us. Just go home, okay? Joey is fine. He's just suffering from some minor injuries and shock. He should be discharged by tomorrow morning," said Jeremy sternly.
Pamela did not want to add to his worries, so she nodded and said, "Alright, we'll go back with Francine, then. Take good care of Corinne. She's been through a lot these past few years, waiting for you."
"Of course I will."
After spending some time together, Jeremy arranged for someone to drive Francine, Greg, and Pamela back home. The ward became quieter after they left.
Corinne was feeding Joey some oatmeal. As she studied the wounds that riddled his skin, her anger swelled.
