Joey visibly relaxed when he heard what Corinne said. After all, even he himself felt what he did was disgusting.
"You weren't breathing when Mommy found you. Was that intentional, too?" asked Corinne when she suddenly recalled something.
Joey pursed his lips and nodded. "Yeah. Before Mommy arrived, that woman kept hitting and kicking me. I held my breath, hoping she'd think I was dead and leave me behind so I could go find you by myself. I wasn't long until I heard your voice calling me, but I didn't dare to believe it. I was afraid it might be my own imagination, so I didn't open my eyes..."
Corinne felt relieved and smiled. "You did so well. It's remarkable of you to come up with such a plan at your age! Mommy is very proud of you!"
Joey had indeed saved himself. The police dogs would not have found him so quickly if he had not left such a noticeable scent by wetting his pants.
It was infuriating that Anya could be so heartless to mistreat such a clever, adorable child. Just how miserable did she have to be to take all of her anger out of a child? It was utterly inhumane! Meanwhile, Jeremy received a call from his subordinate in the corridor, informing him that they had caught Anya.
Jeremy then returned to the ward and told Corinne he was going out to get some food, promising to be back soon. He then arranged for a significant number of people to stand guard outside Joey's room to protect them.
It was only then Jeremy geared up to settle things with Anya once and for all.
Jeremy was walking briskly to the elevator when Lucas appeared in front of him.
"Have your men caught her?" he asked helplessly.
Jeremy nodded. "Yeah."
"I want to go with you to see her."
Jeremy glanced at Lucas. "Even now, you still want to protect her?"
Lucas sighed. "No. I just want to ask her why she turned out to be like this."
Jeremy coldly withdrew his gaze, neither agreeing nor refusing, and entered the elevator in one stride.
Lucas followed him inside, feeling a mixed bag of emotions.
