The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 861

Corinne slowly walked from Jeremy's arms and stood in front of Anya. Crossing her arms nonchalantly, she said, "You're right. I don't have physical evidence like the bracelet, but I have the same memory as Jeremy."

Anya refused to give up. "It's normal to miss a few details when the incident happened so long ago! I was the one who saved Jeremy, not you! I might not have remembered the details, but I'm pretty sure you got lucky with the guesses.

"I remember everything now. I only brought Jeremy a roll of bun every day because I didn't want my family to find out I'd been sneaking out. And from what I know, you didn't even live in the town near the mountain at the time Jeremy was hurt. There's no way a little girl like you back then could've gone somewhere so far away from home, so this just proves that you're lying."

Corinne smiled. "Miss Anya, you're a stubborn one, aren't you? Well, let me tell you everything that happened back then. I was brought up in a covenant, and Mother Cathrina, the nun who took me in, brought me to the mountain to collect herbs that year. Thus, the two of us stayed with the locals for a while back then.

"One day, I got separated from Mother Cathrina, so I had to make my way back to the local's house. On the way down the mountain, I heard someone coughing in the bushes, and that was where I found the injured Jeremy. Fortunately, I've learned some homeopathy from Mother Cathrina and knew how to tend to venomous snake bites, so I sucked out the venom and wrapped Jeremy's wound with some bandage and herbal medicine. Then, I'd bring him a roll of bun and some water from my flash every day.

"At first, I thought Jeremy lost both of his ability to see and speak from the snake venom since he wouldn't talk to me no matter what I say to him. Until one day, I must've gained his trust, since he said thank you to me for the first time. It was only then I found out he could speak after all.

"If you ask me why I only brought him a roll of bun every day… Well, it was because Mother Cathrina observes a strict vegetarian diet, so buns like that made up most of our diet. I shared with him what I had.

"You, Miss Anya, grew up surrounded by luxury. Surely it'd be hard-pressed to find a plain roll of bun like that in your house. Since you said you were the one who saved Jeremy… Tell me, Miss Anya, where did you find something like that to give him?"

"I…" Anya could not come up with an answer at all.
