Jason rushed over with a middle-aged man who was carrying a first-aid kit. “My doctor has just arrived, Jeremy. How about you let him check on dear Corinne’s condition?”
‘Did he just call her ‘dear’? I’m her husband, but I’ve never even called her that before.”
“I won’t trouble you.” Jeremy lifted Corinne into his arms and walked right past Jason.
Jason knew that going to the hospital was the last thing that Corinne wanted, so he rushed up to them and intended to persuade Jeremy.
However, Tommy turned around and stopped him. “Mister Jason, I hope you won’t worry too much about Mister Jeremy’s wife. Mister Jeremy instructed me to call an ambulance, and it’s already waiting outside.”
‘Ambulance?’ Jason narrowed his charming eyes and looked at Jeremy’s rear figure as the man left with Corinne in his arms. Jason remained in pensive thought and said nothing.
Corinne’s expression became even uglier as she lay on a stretcher in the ambulance.
Her sour expression stemmed not from her worsening physical discomfort but because she felt a wave of mixed feelings.
“Gee, thanks, mister! I think I have the distinction of being the only woman in New Capital City sent to the hospital by ambulance just because I’m having my period!”
Jeremy sat beside her stretcher inside the ambulance and had to bend his legs while sitting because he was too tall. He even knocked his head against the roof of the vehicle from time to time.
Jeremy, who was allowed in the ambulance as her family member, glanced contemptuously at Corinne. “You can’t seriously be unhappy about this. How old are you that you can’t even remember your cycle?” He had a displeased tone that sounded like that of an adult scolding his child for being careless.
Corinne frowned. There was an aggrieved expression on her pale face as she said annoyedly, “Of- course I do! I just don’t know why it’s much earlier this month and hurts so much all of a sudden. I’ve never had period pains before this…”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. Grown men like him neither knew much about nor understood anything about a woman’s period.
Corinne’s face was as pale as a piece of paper, and one could see that she was in severe pain. Jeremy raised his hand to caress Corinne’s sweaty forehead before going further upward to pat the top of her head. “I guess you’re not that big of a dummy since you did send me a message when you weren’t feeling well. That alone deserves praise.”
The man’s condescending actions were akin to stroking a
Corinne was startled when a big, warm, and rough palm was placed on her head. Somehow, she
felt a little awkward.
‘Pfft, who cares about your praise! I’m only doing my job and role of your wife for three months!’
Had it not been for the matter of her mother’s paintings, she would not have attended Jason’s art exhibition in the first place. Besides, as soon as she decided on going there with Jason, the first thing she did was send a text to Jeremy just to report her itinerary to him. Her reason for doing so was
because Jeremy told her that he would not allow her to do anything that would give other people the wrong impression.
Jason was a man, and since he clearly expressed his interest in her, it was even more necessary for her to report it to him to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. As for Sunny, Corinne noticed that he had been following her from the very beginning, but she simply did not care about
To her surprise, she did not expect that she would experience such pains in her body, nor did she expect that Sunny would go out of his way to get Francine and Pamela to try and catch her’ cheating’.
Two young nurses were secretly watching Jeremy inside the ambulance.
“Look at how handsome he is! And he treats his girlfriend super well too! He’s such a perfect, hot boyfriend!”
“Her boyfriend called an ambulance for her as soon as he saw her having period pains! Mine just tells me to drink some warm water!”
“Mine can’t even bother to tell me to drink warm water! Sigh!”
Corinne had a puzzled expression as she looked at Jeremy. ‘Hot boyfriend? More like a hot potato! I wish one of those two women could just take him away from me!’
