The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 844
Jeremy was speechless at Corinne’s sensitive logic.
After what she said, he would seem guilty if he did not agree to sign such an agreement.
He could not help what she thought, though. Due to her rough experience in life, she had little sense of security even in a
marriage, so it was understandable for her to request such an agreement.
If that could make her feel more at ease, then he was fine with signing it according to her wishes. After all, separating from her
was out of the question.
Back inside the ward, Sunny finally woke up after a long period of unconsciousness. Maxwell’s frown eased a little when he saw
his son wake up. “How do you feel, Sunny?” Lucas was sitting in pensive silence on the sofa not far away, but he snapped back
to his senses after hearing Maxwell’s question and got up to approach the hospital bed.
Sunny opened his eyes, but his complexion was still quite pale, and he had a dazed expression. He felt uncomfortable all over,
and he had no idea what happened. “What happened?”
Maxwell said, “Nothing serious. You got food poisoning, but you’ll be fine after resting a few days in the hospital.”
“Oh...” Sunny was pure-hearted by nature and did not doubt Maxwell’s words at all, despite Maxwell’s decision to omit certain
details.
Lucas glanced at his father and decided not to expose the half-truth. He understood Maxwell’s reasons for saying that-it was not
to protect Phoebe but to prevent Sunny from feeling crushed after knowing the truth.
If Sunny knew he was hospitalized because he drank the pomegranate juice his mother made and spiked, it would deal a big
blow to someone as naive as him.
It was generally very difficult for people to accept that their biological mother was a bad person, and the entire worldview of some
naive children might even collapse.
There was no need to reveal the truth to Sunny, at least not until he fully recovered.
A sudden thought then occurred to Sunny as he looked anxiously at Lucas sitting beside the hospital bed. Like a child who had
just done something wrong, he said weakly, “I haven’t finished my homework yet, Lucas, but I can do it later if you get someone

to bring them to the hospital.”
Lucas frowned, and he showed a rare moment of gentleness with his worrisome younger brother. “Don’t worry about it for now.
Your health is more important, and you’d still have plenty of time to finish it later.”
Sunny breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Lucas...”
At that moment, he heard the sound of crying and turned to see his mother, who was standing
at the other end.
“Why are you crying, Mom? I’m not dead!”
Phoebe wiped her tears away. Since Maxwell and Lucas were staring coldly at her after discovering the pomegranate juice, she
felt too awkward to approach her son and show concern for him. She could only stand by the bed and glance at him while crying,
“I’m so glad you’re finally awake! Thank goodness everything’s alright...”
