Chapter 1876 Corinne woke up to find herself in a hospital. The light above her was eye- piercingly bright, causing her to break out in cold sweat.
"Joey!" she cried out.
Through her blurry vision, she could see someone gently stroking her head and whispering in a deep voice into her ear, "It's okay, it's okay..." Corinne's breathing slowly calmed, and the scene before her becclearer. She made out Xante, Aaron, Annie, Lucas, Sunny, and Maxwell. They were all looking at her with a mix of concern and tenderness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeremy was the one who was cradling her gently, comforting her with soft-spoken words.
Corinne was still in a state of shock. She straightened up in Jeremy's arms and asked with reddened eyes, "Where's Joey?" Jeremy looked at her gently and said, "Don't worry. The doctor saved him. He's fine and awake now." Fearing Jeremy was just trying to comfort her, Corinne asked with disbelief, "Where's Joey? I need to see him now!" She tried to get out of bed to look for Joey. Jeremy did not stop her but got up with her. He supported Corinne carefully to make sure she would not fall in her haste.
"Don't rush. Put on your shoes first." Jeremy held her hand carefully, preventing her from rushing out. He bent down and handed her a pair of slippers.
Corinne was so anxious that she could not care that much. However, Jeremy insisted she wore the slippers before leaving. With no other choice, she hurriedly put on the slippers.
"Where's Joey? Hurry, taketo him!" she urged.
Jeremy held her hand and said, "I'll take you there, don't worry. Joey's in the pediatric ward, with his grandparents and Francine by his side." Corinne nodded and followed Jeremy out of the ward, leaving the rest of them.
There was admiration in Sunny's eyes as he sighed and said, "I really respect Corinne. She's not even Joey's biological mother, yet she's still so concerned for him. Anya, though..." Lucas remained silent. They had not found Anya on the mountain, but they had caught the balloon seller. After the police interrogated him, it was almost certain that Anya was the mastermind behind Joey's kidnapping. As for Anya's whereabouts, they searched the entire mountain but found no trace of her.
Sunny suddenly noticed Maxwell was looking a bit off. He reached out to support him and asked with concern, "Dad! Are you okay?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaxwell was also at the hospital because Sunny blurted it out. He woke up in the middle of the night to find they were all missing. He then had a bad feeling about it, so he called to ask what had happened and got to know everything from Sunny.
Maxwell was very worried about Corinne and insisted on coming to the hospital to see her, no matter how much he was persuaded otherwise. However, Maxwell's health had not fully recovered yet. He looked even paler after the restless night.
"Dad, why don't you go hfirst? Corinne is awake, so, so, there's nothing to worry about anymore. Go hEn.
and have a nice sleep," said Sunny.
Maxwell waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Just helpover to that chair.
Sunny sighed defeatedly and assisted Maxwell to a nearby chair.
