The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Excuse me, but you’re the one delaying the doctor, okay?” Corinne raised her eyebrow impatiently and grabbed Anya’s collar to
push her out of the way. “If it weren’t for you butting in, I could’ve finished what I wanted to say to the doctor by now!”
Anya lost her balance and fell onto Phoebe, causing her to grit her teeth in anger. She quickly straightened herself and went to
try to stop Corinne again, but alas, it was all too late.
“Apart from the three meals he had at home, the patient also drank something none of us here had drunk,” said Corinne.
The doctor thought this was an important clue. “What was it?”
“It was the pomegranate juice the patient’s mother made. He drank one whole glass of it. I have a sample of the pomegranate
juice here. You can take it to the lab to see if it contains anything dangerous.”
Corinne passed the napkin she spat into to the doctor.
The doctor immediately nodded. “Okay, we’ll take it to the lab for testing now. We’ll let you know once we have the result.”
Corinne nodded. “Thanks. We appreciate it.”
After that, the doctor went back into the emergency room to arrange for the testing.
Both Phoebe and Anya turned pale when they saw Corinne giving the pomegranate juice sample to the doctor.
Before she came, Phoebe ordered her trusted servant to throw away all of the pomegranate juice. She never expected Corinne
to have kept a sample of it, and brought it to the hospital no less.
‘What should I do now? How am I going to get myself out of this once the test result comes out?!
Lucas narrowed his eyes when he recalled how Phoebe insisted on Corinne drinking the pomegranate juice. He then frowned
and said, “Aunt Phoebe, there better be nothing wrong with the pomegranate juice. Otherwise, there’ll be hell to pay should
anything else happen to Sunny tonight!”
Phoebe felt even more guilt-ridden after hearing that. However, it was not the time to show that. “How can you suspect me,
Lucas? Sunny is my son! You can’t think I’d hurt my son, can you?” she cried pitifully.

Lucas looked coldly at her and scoffed. “Need I remind you who you originally made the pomegranate juice for? You were
reluctant to let Sunny drink it in the first place. It’s unfortunate you couldn’t come up with a good reason to stop him from doing
so. I was there when it all happened, so don’t try to worm your way out of this.”
Jeremy frowned. It was only then he realized just how very close Corinne came to getting hurt. He quickly put his arm around
her. ‘Good thing this girl was smart enough to spit out the pomegranate juice. I shouldn’t have let her go to the Riveras’ place...”
Lucas’ harsh words silenced Phoebe, but Anya quickly came to her defense.
“Lucas, how can you talk to Mom like that?” she asked, teary-eyed. “She was just trying to be nice to Corinne by making the
pomegranate juice! Do you really think she would have given her son to drink the pomegranate juice if it was really poisoned?”
