Chapter 855
Corinne smiled harmlessly and asked, “By the way, Miss Anya, could you please tell me how you rescued Mister Jeremy all
those years ago? He’s old, and his memory isn’t very good, so whenever I ask him about it, he says he forgot all the details.
Could you tell me what
happened?”
Jeremy was speechless. ‘Old? I might be older than you, but I’m not old enough to have dementia! How could she call me old in
front of other people?”
Anya’s expression became a little shifty when Corinne asked that. “Well... It’s been too long, and my memory is a little hazy on
the details.”
Corinne frowned as if annoyed. “How is that possible? Didn’t you just say you fell in love with Mister Jeremy at first sight that
day? How could you forget the most memorable day of your life? Tell me whatever you remember!”
After what happened earlier, Anya did not want to talk anymore because she learned her lesson not to talk too much.
She pretended as if she had been forced to question and blinked uneasily. “Are you trying to use that to warn me because you’re
still worried that I’d have inappropriate thoughts about Jeremy? I can promise you that I won’t ever-”
Corinne shook her head and interrupted with a smile. “What’s there for me to be afraid of? If you had
chance of being with him in the first place, you would’ve been together with him before I even came into the picture!”

Anya’s face turned ugly for a moment, and she gritted her teeth while continuing to feign uneasiness. “Then what are you-
Corinne answered heartily, “I’m just curious about Mister Jeremy’s past! Please don’t read too much into it. I’m asking this
because I treat you as a friend! You just need to tell me what you remember. Treat it like a story! If you’re so reluctant to tell me,
then does that mean you no longer consider me a friend?”
Anya was speechless. ‘When did Corinne learn how to use her words like I do?’ After being put on the spot like that, Anya had
no choice but to tell Corinne.
She bit the bullet and said, “There wasn’t anything special about what happened back then. Jeremy just got bit by a venomous
snake and lost his eyesight due to the venom.
Coincidentally, I found him when I was passing by that area, so I helped him suck out the venom from the wound. Since I was
still young at the time, I was a little reckless and didn’t spit everything out. A small amount of poison remained in my body, which
caused me to have problems with my reproductive health for many years. That was more or less what happened...
In the process of narrating the story, Anya made a point to mention her ‘long-standing issues ‘with her reproductive health due to
the snake venom.
Corinne seemed to be listening carefully to the story, and she had an attentive yet curious look in her eyes. “Oh? How did you
find Mister Jeremy at that time? I heard that the entire incident happened in the countryside. Why would you, the daughter of a
wealthy family, be staying in the countryside?”
Anya’s expression began to waver. “Well... At that time, we were escaping the summer heat in a summer resort that our family
built in the countryside! I heard some movement in the grass when I was playing outside alone, and that was where I found
Jeremy...”
After hearing that, Corinne tilted her head curiously. “You must’ve been a child at that time, right? Why were you playing alone
away from the villa? I don’t think your parents would’ve allowed you to do something like that.”
