Chapter 698
Joey opened his eyes, but having just survived a near–death experience, he looked sickly pale, and he appeared
weak even as he regained consciousness.
After the shock, those from the Rivera immediately surrounded the child, showing their concern.
Corinne felt herself relaxing as she watched Joey regain consciousness. She stood up and moved back, leaning
against Jeremy as she sighed in relief.
Jeremy, on the other hand, said nothing as he gently caught her as she leaned into his embrace, smoothing her
hair.
Amid her shock, Anya continued to play her role. She squatted beside the child, wiped away her tears, and said,

At first, Joey had a confused expression, staring blankly at his surroundings, not understanding what had happened.
However, when Anya approached to hold him, he immediately showed a terrified expression as if he had seen
something dreadful, and he immediately burst into tears.
Anya stiffened at this, but she continued to embrace the child’s shoulders, coaxing, “Don’t cry, Joey! Mommy is
right here!”
Anya’s presence did not comfort him. Instead, he cried even louder and tried desperately to crawl away from her
on the ground. Unfortunately, he was too weak and could not get up.
Observing this, Lucas’s brow furrowed in confusion. However, due to his sister’s erratic behavior, he did not think
much of it.
“Anya, your emotions are too intense right now, which might upset the child. Don’t approach him for now. Let Joey
calm down, and he’ll come to you.”
Anya blinked with a guilty conscience, pretending helplessness as she nodded. “Alright, then. I hope my Joey is really
fine now… I’ll be happy enough.”
In fact, what she was really worried about was not Joey’s physical condition but whether he would say something
inappropriate after waking up instead. If Joey revealed the truth, that his head injury was caused by his own
mother, how would Lucas and Jeremy view her in the future?
This was terrible!
Who would have thought that a deceased child could be brought back to life?!
Corinne must have been a witch! Otherwise, how could she possess such extraordinary abilities that defy logic?
She had used witchcraft on Jeremy before, and at this moment, she used resurrection techniques to revive this
child!

However, Corinne did not possess any resurrection technique. It just so happened that she had some knowledge of
basic medicine and knew some obscure facts that ordinary people did not.
Although a first–aid kit was commonly found in every household, most people were unaware
that it hid a hidden pill inside the bottle cap of the regular medicinal powder.
The ingredients of the pill were a top–secret formula, and its exact composition was unknown. When Corinne lived
in the nunnery as a child, she once saw the nun who took her in to use that pill to revive a critically injured person
who had lost vital signs, and she remembered that scene ever since.
However, the pill could only be used for patients in critical condition and should not be used indiscriminately for
minor injuries.
When used correctly, it could save a person’s life. The prerequisite was that the person taking the medicine must
still have vital signs.
Fortunately, the child fought hard for his life and survived.
