The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1424

"But, Corinne…" said Francine, reining in her attitude a little.

Corinne did not want to listen anymore to anyone telling her what to do, so she made clear her position. "I'm not going back with you or to the Riveras. I'm going to stay in the hospital. You're all more than welcome to visit me or the babies here."

Pamela's face remained riddled with worry. She still wanted to bring her home. "Corinne…"

"Grandma, I suggest you save your breath," said Corinne politely, "I'm not going back home with you until Jeremy's back as well. Now then, I'm tired and want to rest, so I won't keep you anymore. Xante, bring Grandma and Francine to the nursery to see the babies, and then send them off for me."

"Yes, Boss. Miss Pamela, Miss Francine, this way please," said Xante.

Pamela frowned. She knew Corinne would never go back with her because of the resentment she held toward Jeremy, so she sighed and gave up on forcing her to go back with her.

At the mention of the twins, she became eager to visit them since she never met them before.

Before she followed Xante out, Pamela reminded Corinne worriedly, "Please do take care of yourself, Corinne. Keep your body warm and stay off cold dishes. Understood?"

Corinne nodded. "Don't worry, Grandma. I know how to take care of myself."

Pamela sighed deeply. "Okay, then. I'll go see the twins now and visit you another day."

Francine pouted and bade Corinne goodbye grudgingly. "Well, we'll be going then. Do take care of your own body like Grandma said. It'll hurt Jeremy to see you all weak and tired."

"Thanks," she said simply. She was not in the mood to say anything else.

At that moment, Jason—who had been quiet all that time—sidled up to Lucas and asked, "Lucas, are you looking to hire a private nurse for Corinne? I know someone who's really professional. Shall I introduce you to her?"

Lucas turned toward him. It was only then he realized Jason was there in the room too. "When did you get here?" he asked with a frown.

Jason laughed. "I came before you. In fact, Corinne and I had a long talk. I must say, Lucas, are you blind or something? How can you not see me at all?"

Even though they were friends, Lucas was in no mood to joke around with him. "That's enough. Corinne needs her rest. Come out with me now."
