The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 831

Jeremy stroked Corinne's head. He knew she was worried, even though she did not show it.

"We can go to the hospital to check on Sunny if you're worried," he said softly.

Corinne nodded, so Jeremy stepped on the accelerator to catch up with the ambulance.

…

At the hospital, outside of the emergency ward.

The doctor took off his mask and announced sternly, "After preliminary examination, we confirmed that the patient is suffering from acute gastrointestinal bleeding."

Phoebe started to panic. "What?! Gastrointestinal bleeding? Why would that suddenly happen to my son?"

"We suspect it's caused by food poisoning. What did the patient eat today?" the doctor asked.

Phoebe's eyes flickered guiltily, and she subconsciously exchanged glances with Anya before answering the doctor, "My son had all his three meals at home today, and I'm pretty sure the food at our house is clean! Besides, we all ate the same thing as him and we're fine, so it can't be food poisoning!"

"We can rule out food poisoning if the patient is the only one who has gastrointestinal bleeding after eating the same food as you all. This is more likely an allergic reaction, then."

Phoebe nodded rapidly. "Yes, that must be it! Oh, doctor, you have to save my son no matter what."

"Yes, doctor. Please save my brother!" cried Anya too.

"It was a good thing the patient was brought to the hospital just in time. His life is in no critical condition after we administered some medicines, but whether there'll be after-effects from this depends on the cause of the gastrointestinal bleeding," said the doctor.

The doctor looked quizzically at Corinne. "Yes, how can I help you? Are you the family of the patient too?"

Corinne stood in front of the doctor and shook her head. "No, I'm not, but I was there when the patient collapsed too. We were all having dinner together, so I might be able to give you some clues to his condition."

The doctor nodded. "Alright, then. I'm listening."

Corinne was about to answer him when Anya suddenly burst out in tears, saying, "Corinne, my brother is still inside the emergency ward. Stop causing trouble for the doctor and let him go back in to save Sunny first!"

Corinne looked at her coldly. "Didn't you hear what I said to the doctor? How is that causing trouble for him?"

Anya deliberately stood in between Corinne and the doctor. Wiping her tears, she said, "My mom and I told the doctor everything that happened, so there's no need for you to repeat the same thing. This will only delay the doctor going back to save Sunny!"
