The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Suddenly, Jason bent down and got close to Corinne's ear. He whispered, "But, if you like them, I can give them to you....as proposal gifts for your hand in marriage."

Corinne grimaced and shot him an annoyed stare. She was going to ignore his joke, but as she tried to think of a way to get Jason to sell those paintings to her, an ominous feeling rose in her

chest.

She frowned, and her expression was looking terrible, too.

Jason noticed Corinne was feeling unwell and asked, "What's wrong?"

There was sweat coming out of her forehead, and her lips had turned pale. "I'm just...not feeling quite well."

Jason looked worried. "Did you catch a cold because of the low temperature in the art gallery?"

"M-Maybe." She gritted her teeth uncomfortably. She even started to shiver.

Jason took off his jacket to put it on her. He said softly, "Let me bring you to the lounge so you can rest. There's no air-conditioner there, so the temperature is slightly warmer." "Thank you."

Corinne had a hard time standing firmly. In the end, she had to accept Jason's support just so she could walk to the lounge.

Meanwhile, Sunny, sneakily hiding, recorded everything with his phone. He snorted. "Tsk! It's broad daylight, and they're heading toward the empty lounge by themselves. If that's not something, I don't know what is!"

With evidence at hand, he quickly shared the location of the art gallery with Francine.

Corinne and Jason arrived in the lounge, and her face had gotten paler by the minute. Not only was she shivering, but her teeth even clattered slightly too.

Jason brought a glass of hot water for her. "Are you feeling better? Should I send you to the hospital?"

It was so uncomfortable for her that she had to hug her stomach. Despite the pain, to rest for a while. Don't worry about me. Go and be with your friends." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He refused, of course, and sat beside her. The worry in his eyes was not fake. "Are you afraid of the hospital?"

Corinne was caught off-guard by this, but she did not deny it. No one liked to have their mind read. It was true that she did not like the hospital.

When she was young, her mother brought her to the hospital to get treated, but when she woke up, her mother was gone. She had to be alone in the hospital for seven days, and each day was a nightmare for her.

Not long later, her father showed up and told her that her mother had passed away. He took her home with him after she was discharged from the hospital.

'Hit the nail on the head, then,' Jason thought. Instead of asking on that matter, he said, "My personal doctor will be here soon. Why don't you lie down and take some rest? I'll wake you up when the doctor arrives."

"Thank you." The pain rendered Corinne in a feeble state, so she did not reject the offer.

She did as she was told and went to lie on the bed in the lounge. She curled up into a ball with the thought that it could soothe some of the stomach pain she was feeling.

Jason's jacket was still on her body. Nevertheless, Jason asked for a blanket to put on her.

Meanwhile...

"Francine, you silly girl. Why did you bring me to this art gallery? You know that I'm not a fan of those paintings. I was in the middle of cooking soup for Corinne." Francine, walking into the art gallery with Pamela, said with hidden intent, "Grandma, your favorite granddaughter-in-law is in there too!",

Pamela was stunned as she looked at Francine with disbelief. "Are you saying Corinne is here too?"

Francine smiled cynically and nodded.

The staff of the art gallery recognized Pamela and did not stop her from going in. Instead, they welcomed her with the highest respect.

After Francine brought Pamela to reunite with Sunny, both of them started to rush toward the lounge with Pamela in the hope to catch Corinne having an affair.

The staff of the art gallery tried to stop Sunny. Alas, the staff failed. With a kick on the door, they entered the lounge. Coincidentally, Corinne was in Jason's arms looking very weak...

In the beginning, Pamela was still curious about how Francine and Sunny acted. When she saw the situation in the room, she was shocked.

"Corinne! W-What are you doing?"
