Although Lucas agreed to let Corinne try to revive Joey, he did not let his guard down. He stood aside and observed, instructing the servants around him to record the entire process on their phones.
When the police arrived later, the video would be handed over to them to prevent Corinne from making any moves for the sake of exoneration and then denying them later.
...
The child had been laid flat, and Corinne squatted on the ground, reaching out to open Joey's eyelids and check. Then, she carefully performed some basic life-saving measures for him.
Anya leaned weakly against her brother's arms, sobbing as she stared at Corinne worriedly.
Honestly, she could not care less about Joey; it was all an act for Lucas and Jeremy to see.
However, only her brother cared for her. He comforted her softly, holding her tightly. Jeremy, on the other hand, had not glanced her way once!
Anya sneakily glanced at that man who was beyond her reach.
Jeremy stood on Corinne's side, standing tall and straight like a carefree cypress tree. His hands were casually tucked in his pockets, his head slightly lowered, and his gentle yet powerful gaze unwaveringly fixed on the girl squatting on the ground, performing CPR on the lifeless Joey.
At this moment, Jeremy looked much like the protective male protagonist who willingly stayed by her side, unwavering and without doubt.
As Anya watched on, she felt an intense sting.
She used to think that as long as she drove Corinne away, Jeremy would stay by her side. However, she finally understood that as long as Corinne did not disappear from this world, Jeremy's eyes would never be on her.
Corinne merely stared at the siblings before she resumed. She poured out all the contents in the kit and squatted, smearing some powder onto the wound on the back of the child's head. Then, she dug out a small red pill from under the pile of medicine.
Ordinary people would not know that there was such a hidden treasure in the first-aid kit. This was the one thing she truly needed!
Corinne pried open Joey's mouth and placed the pill inside, then had someone bring some water and slowly administer it.
The crowd watched eagerly, all their eyes fixed on the child lying on the ground, waiting to see if there would be any movement.
However, even after moments had passed, Joey showed no reaction, remaining as motionless as a corpse.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
