The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1815

Melinda was flustered at how Corinne bowed to her. She hurriedly waved her hands. "Corinne, you're being too polite! Emily and I are best friends, so I'm just doing what every best friend would've done."

Nonetheless, Corinne bowed again. "I really appreciate the care you've shown my mom over the years. Thank you for protecting her from the Riveras."

Melinda sighed and gently helped Corinne up. "It's totally fine! I appreciate your gratitude, but let's skip bowing from now on, okay? Otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry at you!"

Corinne nodded and straightened herself. She did not want to make Melinda uncomfortable.

She glanced at the men in black guarding the door and asked Melinda, "I just saw them taking my mom's things out. Is she getting discharged? But she looked like she hadn't fully recovered yet."

Melinda looked hesitant upon hearing Corinne's question. "She's not getting discharged, but she did insist on transferring to another hospital. I just finished arranging the transfer for her. If you hadn't come, we would've already moved to another hospital by now."

Corinne was puzzled. "But this hospital has the best facilities in the entire New Capital City. Why transfer to another one?"

"Emily wanted to be discharged, but I managed to convince her not to. Since I didn't agree to her leaving the hospital, she insisted on transferring to another one. Otherwise, she wouldn't cooperate with the treatment. And it's all because..."

Corinne seemed to have caught on. "Because Maxwell also stays in this hospital, right? She's worried about him finding out she's here."

Melinda sighed and nodded. "Exactly. I've told Emily that with me here, the Riveras wouldn't be able to enter her room even if they found out she's here. It did nothing to lessen her worries, though; she was even losing sleep over it. She's still troubled by this, so I agreed to arrange the transfer for her."

"If Mom can be more at ease and recover well, transferring to another hospital isn't a bad idea. But she's asleep now, so let's wait until she wakes up before leaving."

Melinda was somewhat surprised. "She's asleep? That's great. Emily has hardly slept a wink these past few days, and I've been so worried! She obviously felt better enough to sleep after seeing you."
