The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 655
Brian Addison refrained from starting another argument with his wife since she still did not fully recover from her injuries. He
simply sat by her bed with Lilin in his lap and kept apologizing to her.
The hospital dean personally came over to greet Brian when he got news of his arrival. “Mister Brian, I didn’t know this lady here
was your wife.”
Brian stood up and shook hands with the hospital dean. “Thank you for saving my wife’s life!”
“You’re most welcome but we’re just doing our jobs.”
“By the way, my wife told me a lady insisted on donating blood to save my wife’s life even though she was pregnant. Where is
that lady now?”
“I wasn’t there when it happened but I did hear about the lady you’re talking about. I’m not sure who she is, but what I can tell
you is she registered her name under Corinne Carew.”
“Corinne CarewQ That’s more than enough for me to go on. I’ll arrange for my men to look for her so that I can thank her
properly.”
The hospital dean nodded. ‘I do hope Mister Brian manages to find her. That girl deserves all the good karma coming her way.’
Even though Brian might look like a scholar, he was an exceptional figure who played for both sides of the law. The hospital dean
did not doubt that Corinne would greatly benefit from being the Addisons’ savior.
A few days later.
Corinne deliberately chose a bright and sunny day to drop by the Lovelaces’ house, since she promised Edgar that she would
visit Gertrude whenever she was free. She also took the opportunity to ask the old servants there for information about her
mother.
According to the old servants she asked, Emily spent the first few years happily married to Maxwell. After that, they started
fighting more and more and Emily would often bring Corinne and Lucas back to the Lovelaces’ place to stay for a few weeks.
Their quarrel started because of a woman. Her name was Phoebe Stewart and she happened to be Emily’s best friend and the
mother of Anya and Sunny. Corinne also learned Phoebe married Maxwell not long after Emily went missing. With this

information in hand, Corinne deduced Phoebe must have engineered Emily’s disappearance for herself to marry Maxwell.
‘I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Anya must have learned how to pull off those shady tricks from her mother,’
thought Corinne.
She turned down Edgar’s offer to have his driver send her home and simply walked out of the mansion’s compound.
There was a black car parked outside the Lovelaces’ mansion and before Corinne could even wonder who it belonged to,
Edmund got out of the car and said matter-of-factly to her, “Miss Corinne, I’m here on Mister Lucas’ order. I’m to bring you to the
hospital for your surgery.”
Corinne raised her brow and silently stared at him for a good long while.
“Rest assured, Miss Corinne, that everything in the hospital is prepared to give you the best possible outcome from the surgery.
We’ve even gotten you all the supplements you would need to have for a speedy recovery,” Edmund added.
“Mister Lucas sure is thoughtful. Well then, what are we waiting for?” said Corinne sarcastically. She then got into the car without
hesitation.
Meanwhile, Tommy was reporting to Jeremy in his office.
“Mister Jeremy, the hotel in Kanton City was unable to give us any information about Jade Rabbit because all of her check-in
details were fake and all the surveillance footage with her in it were erased.”
“Okay.” Jeremy took a sip of coffee and thought, ‘Oh well, I guess that’s that. Since we’re both hackers, she must know how
important it is to keep our identities hidden so even if she manages to catch a glimpse of my face, I trust she wouldn’t be going
around leaking my identity to other people. However, if she does, there’s a high chance her own identity would be exposed and
I’ll be able to deal with her then.’
“With that said, we did discover something that should be of interest to you, Mister Jeremy. During our investigation, we found
out Miss Corinne visited a hospital in Kanton City the same day you were there.”
Jeremy’s face immediately darkened at the mention of Corinne. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s she doing there?”
“Apparently, she went there to donate her blood.”

“Donate her blood?” repeated Jeremy with a frown on his face. His eyes gradually darkened as he thought, ‘Isn’t she pregnant?
Why would she suddenly go to another city to donate her blood?’
