The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 283

“Don’t be ridiculous! It’s obvious that the man’s status is unique and that he probably has the same sort of family

background that could complement Miss Anya. They made for the perfect pair!”

Corinne heard that while she passed slowly by the nurse’s station, and she had a good guess of what could have

happened. A pervert had stalked Anya, which led her to call Jeremy for help. By the time Jeremy arrived, however, the pervert had run off.

The police then came to investigate potential suspects by checking the hospital surveillance footage. The nurses mentioned that Anya was in Ward 302, which did not seem too far away. She should be almost there if she kept walking and took the turn up ahead. Corinne turned the corner and found Ward 302 in no time.

The door of the ward was half open, and there were plenty of people inside, including the police. Without getting too close, the angle was just right for her to see what was going on in the

ward.

Anya leaned against Jeremy’s arms in shock, and her shoulders were trembling. “Jeremy, I’m scared…”

Jeremy hugged her shoulders and patted her back gently to comfort her. He then reassured her in a low voice, “It’ll be alright. Just tell the police what happened. Do you still remember the perpetrator’s physical appearance and characteristics?”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Anya was unable to go to the police station to have her statement taken because she was hospitalized, so the police had no choice but to go to the hospital to do their duty.

Jeremy’s reassurance stabilized Anya’s mood greatly, and she took a deep breath before saying as calmly as possible to the officers, “That man… He wore a striped shirt, wears glasses, and is a bit fat. He’s about one–point–seven meters tall…”

The police nodded and jotted it down. “Okay. We’ve got that written down, Miss Anya. Rest assured, we will apprehend that person and get justice for you!”

“Thank you.” Anya thanked the police politely while shrinking into Jeremy’s arms to seek a sense of security. It was as if that man was the only person in the world who would not scare her.

“I’m scared, Jeremy. Please don’t go. I want you to be here by my side…”

“I won’t go anywhere.”

Jeremy patted her gently on the back and whispered a few words of comfort.

After finishing up their work there, the police stood up and prepared to leave. “We’ll excuse ourselves now, Mister Jeremy. You’ll be the first to know if there is any progress with the case.”

Jeremy nodded slightly. “Okay. Please send the two officers off, Rosie.”

Rosie then said magnanimously, “Thank you for all that

you’ve done, officers. Right this way, please. Take care on the road.”

Corinne stood outside the ward and saw that the two of them were fine. Nothing serious seemed to have happened, so she closed her eyes gently and turned around to go back to her ward.

“Corinne?! It’s you!” Rosie, who had come out to see the police off, chanced upon a figure that looked like Corinne in the corridor. She immediately followed behind the girl to get a closer look, and her guess turned out to have been spot on.

Corinne looked calmly at Rosie standing in front of her. “Good evening, Miss Rosie.”

Rosie looked at Corinne suspiciously, then looked back at Ward 302, and realized that she could see Anya leaning against Jeremy’s arms through the half–open door. She understood at once and laughed. “You saw everything, didn’t you? I told you a long time ago that you’d be reduced to nothing once Anya comes back!”

Corinne smirked. She was nothing to Jeremy before Anya came back anyway, so what was the difference?

Rosie folded her arms triumphantly and said, “I’ll have you know that Anya has known Jeremy since she was ten, and their relationship had developed to such an extent over the years that you can never separate them!”

Corinne surmised that Rosie was just trying to stand in her way, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Don’t you think you’re just poking your nose into other people’s businesses?” Rosie’s face turned sour, and after seeing a distinct lack of disappointment on Corinne’s face, she gritted her teeth unhappily because her comments failed to achieve the

intended effects. “Hmph! I’ll wait until you’re abandoned by Jeremy! I hope you don’t cry too ugly when the time comes!”

“Who are you talking to?” A man’s gentle and clear voice suddenly sounded from behind Corinne.
