At the mention of her crush, Francine blushed even more.
“I… I admit I’m very thankful to you for setting me up with Chester, but that’s not the main reason! I just don’t hate
you anymore. As long as you don’t cheat on Jeremy, you’re in my good books for life.”
Corinne’s lips curled up into a smile that did not reach her eyes. She then suddenly laid back down on the bed.
“Don’t worry. I’ll never cheat on Jeremy. Even if I want to, I’ll dump him first before hooking up with another man.”
Francine was not happy with this answer either. “No. You’re not allowed to dump him either!”
Corinne was starting to get very sleepy. “Let’s stop the topic here. Fetch me hot water if you’re so free. I want to
soak my feet later. They’re feeling a little sore…” she said tiredly.

After thinking over it, she grudgingly did what Corinne said since she was pregnant with Jeremy’s kid.
Francine walked over to the door with a thermos in her hand. The moment she opened the door, however, she saw
a person standing outside with his hand raised as though he was just about to knock on the door.
“Sunny? What are you doing here?” asked Francine warily.
Sunny rubbed the back of his head. “Umm… How’s Corinne doing?”
“She’ll be fine as long as you Riveras stop pulling shady sh*t!” she answered with a lift of her chin.
“I’ve come to apologize to Corinne on Anya’s behalf. May…I go inside?” he asked awkwardly.
“She’s resting right now. Plus, I don’t think she’d ever want to see you Riveras again!”
Sunny dropped his head in shame. “But…”
“You can come in,” came Corinne’s lazy voice from inside the ward.
Only then did Francine grudgingly move a little to make way for Sunny to go in. Of course, she did not forget to
scoff at him while he was walking past her.
Francine stayed at the doorway. No way she was going to leave Corinne alone with a Rivera. After all, this could be
another one of their tricks to hurt Corinne.
She used to be quite fond of the Riveras because of Anya, but ever since she discovered her true colors, she had
nothing but animosity toward them.
Sunny walked in and put the fruit basket he had bought for Corinne on the table. Then, he hummed as he thought
about what to say to her.
“Umm… So… I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I got you some fruits…”

Corinne sat back up and leaned lazily against the headrest again. “Thank you, Mister Sunny. But there’s no need for
you to visit me since you yourself only got out of the hospital not that long ago.”
Sunny looked guiltily at her. “I’ve actually come to apologize for what my mother and sister did… They’ve really
gone overboard this time.”
Corinne smiled tightly. “And you think I should forgive them just because you’ve apologized on their behalf?”
Sunny was a little taken aback. He quickly shook his head. “No… You don’t have to forgive them. I’m not going to
force you to do that. I just want you to know how sorry I am… I didn’t exactly treat you well in the past, either.”
“Good, because I’ll never forgive them. Though, I won’t hold it over your head. Consider your apology accepted.
You should go home to study now.”
Sunny frowned. “I’ve already finished studying today.”
“That’s even better. You can do whatever you want, then.”
