The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222

Corinne grabbed Jeremy’s arm firmly and shook him. “Mister! Hey! Wake up! Don’t scare me like

that…”

The man closed his eyes to calm himself and was silent for about a minute before he opened his mouth again. “Why didn’t you continue what you just did?”

‘What I just did…? Corinne immediately understood what he meant, and her lips twitched as she looked at him with disdain. “Tch, all men are like this! Don’t try to take advantage of me!”

Corinne was very upset when she realized he tried to trick her. She shoved the remaining glass of water to him and said angrily, “Drink it yourself! I took a lot of effort to bring the water back for you, and it’ll leak out if you don’t drink it quicker!”

Jeremy was not thirsty, but he decided to drink it nonetheless because it was rare for her to be so conscientious. He opened his handsome eyes, reached out to take the leaf cup handed to him, and raised his head to drink the water that remained inside.

Then, he seemed to have a sudden realization as he stared at the empty cup made of reed leaves. His dark pupils contracted as he asked pensively, “Have we met somewhere before?”

Corinne was hugging her knees as she sat to one side, and his question made her feel that he was trying to tease her again. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “Don’t act like you’ve lost your memory! It’s hardly the time and place for that.”

Jeremy’s expression remained stern. “What I mean by that is, have we met somewhere a very long time ago?”

Corinne could hear the seriousness in his tone, which was unlike what she would have expected if he was trying to tease her. She then eyed him strangely and said, “Probably not. I lived in a remote place before I turned eighteen. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet a rich man like you.”

The girl told him that the herb, known as broadleaf plantain, grew in areas that were known to harbor snakes and could remove the effectiveness of most snake venoms.

After that, she took out her handkerchief and helped him bandage another wound on his body.

Since there were traces of snake venom left in his body, his eyes were blinded temporarily, and he could not see what her face looked like the entire time.
