The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 840

As things progressed to that point, Anya had no choice but to sacrifice her mother to save herself. After all, it was better for one than for both of them to lose the trust of the family.

Even though she had no idea what Corinne was thinking, she had no qualms about the version of the story Corinne gave. It was more important for her to uphold her innocent girl image so she could live to see another day.

Corinne gently tucked Anya's hair before her ear. "Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I mean, you were kind enough to save Jeremy. Not only that, but you nearly lost your life and became infertile after that… A brave and kind-hearted girl like you would never do something like poisoning me, right?"

Anya could not help but start to feel uneasy at all the praise Corinne was heaping on her, so much so a chill ran up her spine. 'Why would Corinne speak up for me? She's definitely up to no good.'

Corinne frowned and said worriedly, "I suddenly remember something, Miss Anya. Is your body okay after drinking all that pomegranate juice? Do you feel pain anywhere?"

Anya still had her guard up toward Corinne, but she had to play along with her. She shook her head and said innocently, "I'm fine. Sorry to make you worry, Corinne."

Corinne still looked worried. "No, we need to take this seriously. After the doctor told us about all the side effects of overdosing on saffron, I went online to look for more information, and I found out it's actually quite dangerous for a woman who's not pregnant too. Miss Anya, I highly suggest you do a full body checkup now to make sure you're alright."

Anya knew Corinne had an ulterior motive for suggesting she do that, so she politely rejected her. "Thank you, but I'm really okay. There's really no need for me to do a checkup."

Corinne shook her head stubbornly. "No! You drank the whole glass, remember? Sunny only drank half a glass, and look at what happened to him! I think it's best if you go do a checkup."
