The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 773

Jeremy was amused by Corinne. "You're amazing. I feel so safe knowing you're here to protect me."

Corinne glared at him. "What are you laughing about? I'm being serious! I'll kill anyone who dares to bully my husband."

Jeremy was a little stunned but, at the same time, pleased by how protective Corinne was toward him. He pecked her lips and, holding her face in both of his hands, said, "You don't have to worry about anything. That all happened a long time ago. I promise you won't become a widow."

Corinne blushed from the sudden kiss and buried her head into his chest. "How can you kiss me when I was being serious? That's not fair at all!"

Jeremy smiled and tousled up her hair. "I'm sorry. I'll try to hold it next time."

Corinne did not say anything more and snuggled closer to him. After calming down, she started to think back to what Jeremy said.

A little town near the Great Canyon… She had been there before.

When she was little, she went with Mother Cathrina—a nun from the convent—to look for rare herbs around the area. The two of them stayed with a local for quite a long while. Back then, she would wake up at dawn and go to the mountains with Mother Cathrina to collect the rare herbs.

However, she would sometimes be so focused on her task that she would lose sight of Mother Cathrina, and she would have to go back to the town herself. One day, after losing sight of Mother Cathrina once again, she was on her way to the town when she came across an injured man.

Not only was the man covered in wounds, but he was blinded by the snake venom in his body as well. Fortunately, some of the herbs she collected that day could be used as an anti-venom. Thus, she sucked out the venom before applying some of the crushed herbs to the bite wound.
