The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698

Joey opened his eyes, but having just survived a near–death experience, he looked sickly pale, and he appeared weak even as he regained consciousness.

After the shock, those from the Rivera immediately surrounded the child, showing their concern.

Corinne felt herself relaxing as she watched Joey regain consciousness. She stood up and moved back, leaning against Jeremy as she sighed in relief.

Jeremy, on the other hand, said nothing as he gently caught her as she leaned into his embrace, smoothing her hair.

Amid her shock, Anya continued to play her role. She squatted beside the child, wiped away her tears, and said, “Oh my god, Joey… You’re awake! I thought you were gone, my boy… You don’t know how scared I was!”

At first, Joey had a confused expression, staring blankly at his surroundings, not understanding what had happened. However, when Anya approached to hold him, he immediately showed a terrified expression as if he had seen something dreadful, and he immediately burst into tears.

Anya stiffened at this, but she continued to embrace the child’s shoulders, coaxing, “Don’t cry, Joey! Mommy is right here!”

Anya’s presence did not comfort him. Instead, he cried even louder and tried desperately to crawl away from her on the ground. Unfortunately, he was too weak and could not get up.

Observing this, Lucas’s brow furrowed in confusion. However, due to his sister’s erratic behavior, he did not think much of it.

“Anya, your emotions are too intense right now, which might upset the child. Don’t approach him for now. Let Joey calm down, and he’ll come to you.”

Anya blinked with a guilty conscience, pretending helplessness as she nodded. “Alright, then. I hope my Joey is really fine now… I’ll be happy enough.”

In fact, what she was really worried about was not Joey’s physical condition but whether he would say something inappropriate after waking up instead. If Joey revealed the truth, that his head injury was caused by his own mother, how would Lucas and Jeremy view her in the future?

However, Corinne did not possess any resurrection technique. It just so happened that she had some knowledge of basic medicine and knew some obscure facts that ordinary people did not.
