Chapter 295

'Ahh, all these people are driving me crazy!' thought the

police officer standing guard by the door. 'All of them have valid reasons to go in. D*mnit, I shouldn't have let the others inside in the first place.'

It would be hard to explain himself if he let the others in while keeping the rest of them out. In the end, the officer irritably waved his hand and said, "Fine, the two of you can go in, but keep quiet so you don't distract my colleagues from their work.

Rosie immediately thanked the police officer and pulled Sunny into the ward with her.

The police officer smacked his forehead in exhaustion. 'Good thing the formal interrogation process is over. It should be more casual this round, so there's nothing wrong with letting them in.'

Since Lucas was Anya's older brother, making it inconclusive whether he would be a reliable witness, it was the officers' supervisor's intention to let him confront Corinne to see whether he would be of help to cracking the case. Should Lucas prove to be useful, he would be then taken down to the police station for a formal evidence collection process.

Corinne was reaching for the glass of water by her bedside when everyone walked into the ward. She was thirsty from all the interrogation from before. However, her hands were still a swollen mess of flesh, not to mention they were all bandaged up, so it was hard for her to get a good grip on the slippery glass.

The bandage proved to be the main obstacle as it had provided no friction against the glass, which would slip off as soon as Corinne lifted it. She became visibly annoyed when a bony and large hand suddenly lifted the glass off and positioned it near her mouth.

Corinne looked up only to see Jeremy's handsome face staring down at her. There was a straw in the glass, and she only had to open her mouth to drink from it. However, she refused to do so because she di not want to accept Jeremy's gesture.

Instead, she stubbornly took the glass in her swollen and bandaged hands. In the end, she managed to hold on to the glass by putting one hand at the bottom and one hand at the side. Only then did she drink from the straw to quench her parched throat.

Corinne did not forget her manners, so she thanked Jeremy for his kind gesture.

Jeremy frowned in response. He was not used to being thanked by her, but he remained silent. Instead, he raised the same hand that delivered the glass to her and patted her lightly twice on the head. It was how some parents would pat their children on the heads when they wanted to comfort them.

Corinne was quietly drinking her water, and she looked up in surprise after Jeremy patted her on the head. Then, she lifted the corners of her mouth and smiled at him lightly.

Jeremy returned her smile. They had a tacit understanding of each other that required no words. It was amazing to watch how they subtly interacted with each other.

At that moment, Anya was standing next to Lucas. Her eyes dulled with disappointment when she saw the way Jeremy and Corinne behaved toward each other. Immediately, she turned around bitterly and folded herself into Lucas' embrace.
