The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1877

Jeremy led Corinne to the pediatric ward.

Joey sat absent-mindedly on the bed, eating an apple that Francine had peeled for him.

Greg and Pamela's worried expressions faded when they saw Corinne entering.

"Corinne! You're awake, too!"

"Thank God!"

Corinne nodded toward Greg and Pamela. She then released Jeremy's hand and quickly walked to the bedside. Tears fell as she looked at Joey.

'He's alright. Joey really is alright…' thought Corinne.

When Joey saw Corinne, he instantly released the apple in his hand and threw himself into Corinne's arms.

"Mommy... I thought I'd never see you again..."

Corinne hugged him tightly. "Mommy's here! I'll never lose you again!"

"Mommy..."

There was not a dry eye in that ward. Jeremy also subtly furrowed his eyebrows, his emotions quietly dancing behind his slightly reddened eyes.

He turned to ask Francine, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at home looking after the other three?"

Francine wiped away her tears and said, "Don't worry! We've got more than enough people at home to protect them. I even asked Chester to stay with the kids. I was just too worried about Joey, so I came with Grandpa and Grandma to check on him. I'll go home shortly!"
