Chapter 532
In the emergency ward.
The doctors tended to Joey’s burn and after bandaging up his eye, one of the doctors told Anya and Jeremy to
mentally prepare themselves to accept the possibility that Joey would forever have a scar on his left eye since that
was where he was the most badly burned.
Tears immediately flowed from Anya’s eyes when she heard that. “Oh, my poor, poor child! He’s so young and yet
he has to leave with this disfigurement forever! Jeremy, what should we
do?”
Jeremy patiently tried to calm her down. “The doctor said it’s only a possibility. That means there’s a chance it
won’t happen.”
Anya kept crying. “But, what if?”
Jeremy was losing his patience by then. “He’s a boy so a little scar is nothing! We should be glad that he’s fine!”
Anya could tell Jeremy was not in the mood for her theatrics so she immediately turned off her waterworks and said
pitifully, “You’re right. Joey is a boy so a little scar will not affect him in any way. It’s just that, I can’t help but think

to him.”
Jeremy ignored her and instead went into the emergency ward to check on Joey. After all, it was more important to
comfort Joey – who had no idea what was happening
than to
comfort Anya who was an adult.
Anya followed Jeremy into the emergency ward and saw Joey’s left eye covered in bandages. He was not crying
anymore though he did look a little dazed as if he was in shock. Seeing him like that reawakened all the hate Anya
had for Corinne. She immediately turned around and glared at Corinne, who was standing at the door with Jason,
before rushing over to her like a
bull who saw red.
“Corinne, why? Why did you hurt my son? I can accept anything you dish out to me but how can you do something
like this to a child so young? Have you no heart?”
Anya kept shaking and pulling on Corinne’s clothes, not letting her go for a moment, as she repeated the questions
over and over again.
Seeing this, Jason immediately came to Corinne’s rescue. “Anya, stop it. I understand what you’re feeling but you
need to calm down. Besides, I trust that Corinne had nothing to do with
this.”
However, his wordsdid not affectn Anya. Still grabbing hold of her clothes, she said tearfully to Jason, “How can you
say that, Jason? I saw It with my own eyes! She was the one who snatched the bowl from the waiter and threw the
soup all over Joey’s face. I’m not the type of
person who would accuse another person for no good reason!”
Although Jason wanted to protect Corinne, he could not do anything against Anya so he was stuck between a rock
and a hard place.
Corinne, however, pushed him away. She was going to face Anya’s accusationhead -onn. She looked mockingly at
her and asked, “Miss Anya, do you even care about your son?”
Anya became even angrier at her question. “What are you trying to say, Corinne? I’m his mother so of course I
care about him!”
“Oh really? Then why does it feel like punishing me is more important than making sure your son is alright? Why do
you keep shaking me like this instead of comforting your son?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Well, it’s ’cause Jeremy’s watching over him so I’m not worried about him! Besides, any good mother would make
sure the culprit who did this to her son gets her just punishment!”
Corinne looked at her disdainfully. “Miss Anya, you’re behaving like a crazy woman right now. Aren’t you afraid of
ruining your demure image?”
Anya suddenly felt like she was just slapped in the face. She was in so much of a hurry to get rid of Corinne that she
forgot to keep up her usual facade. “Ahem! It’s understandable for a mother to behave like this when it comes to
protecting her kid. I can guarantee you no mother would stay calm and gentle in a moment like this. I’ll fight
anyone who dares to hurt my
son!”
Corinne chuckled coldly. “Then you should fight yourself since you’re the one who hurt him.
the most.”
This caused Anya to descend into hysterics. She glowered at Corinne and said, “How can you show any remorse?
You’re an evil, evil woman! Why did you hurt my son?”
She kept shaking Corinne non-stop as if she went insane.
Annoyed, Corinne pushed her away as if she was a disgusting piece of trash. For the life of her, she could
understand why Anya insisted on pouring her pointless anger on her.
