The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 833

"What mother would harm her child? Besides, have you forgotten I've also drank the pomegranate juice? I'm fine, aren't I? Even if it was caused by the pomegranate juice, it must be because Sunny ate something that was incompatible with it. I refuse to believe Mom has anything to do with this!"

Everything Anya said sounded logical. She even used the example of herself having drunk the pomegranate juice, so Lucas found it impossible to point out any holes in her argument. His suspicion of Phoebe did lessen somewhat after that.

Corinne chuckled softly. "Miss Anya, have you forgotten how you ran to the bathroom to throw up all the pomegranate juice after drinking it?"

Anya's eyes flickered. She frowned and forced herself to suppress the rising anger inside of her before she looked at Corinne pitifully.

"Corinne, I'm starting to think you enjoy putting our family in a mess. Do you have proof that I threw up the pomegranate juice? Can't I go to the bathroom when I need to relieve myself? Why do you insist on pushing the blame on my mom?"

Corinne listened calmly to Anya's retort. To be honest, she was actually impressed at how quickly Anya could think on her feet and by her Oscar-worthy performance.

At that moment, Maxwell—who had been silent all those while—cleared his throat and said, "That's enough! Keep your voices down in the hospital. We'll know what's really going on when the test result comes out!"

His words might be little, but they carried with them an undeniable authority. Hence, everyone fell silent after that.

Anya and Phoebe exchanged glances; both of them tried to come up with the next step to get out of the situation they brought upon themselves.
