Chapter 842
"Maxwell...* Phoebe's eyes reddened as tears streamed down her face.
Maxwell did not pity her and ignored her despite her crying. He went to the hospital bed, pulled a chair to sit, and
looked quietly looking at his still unconscious son.
After watching Anya leave the ward, Corinne turned around to look at the tearful Phoebe.
Phoebe and Anya were like two peas in a pod. She could cry at the drop of a hat, much like her daughter. Alas,
Phoebe's song and dance did not seem to strike a chord with Maxwell.

Riveras's money. Sadly, her pitiful act was unable to capture Maxwell's attention.
Maxwell appeared to be extremely cold toward Phoebe. As if sleeping in a separate bed was not bad enough, he did
not even bother to take a second look at her.
Corinne's impression of her biological father did not improve just because he was indifferent toward Phoebe, of
course. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and sneered coldly in disgust. 'Shameless old scumbag! You cheated on my
mother with Phoebe, and now that Phoebe's your wife, you got bored of her and gave her the cold shoulder. For all
we know, you might have a new lover, you jerk!'
Maxwell then glanced at her as if he sensed her gaze on him.
Corinne then turned her face away in disgust and said, "It's so stuffy in here, Jeremy. Come out with me and get
some air!"
"Okay." Jeremy stepped forward, placed his hands over her shoulders, and went out with her.
He had no interest to participate in the Riveras's affairs and was simply there to keep Corinne company.
Since she wanted to get some fresh air, he was happy to accompany her there.
Lucas noticed that his younger sister's clothes were a little thin, so he took off his coat and stepped forward to put it
on her. "Wear a coat. It'll be cold in the corridor with the windows open..."
Jeremy raised his arms to prevent Lucas from draping the coat over her. He did not even bother to wait for her to
express her opinion. "She can use mine."

Lucas frowned, took back his coat, and draped it over his arm. He kept quiet, but he planned to go with them
because he was worried about his sister.
Corinne did not turn around to look at him, but she heard Lucas's footsteps from behind and stopped him gently.
"We don't need a third wheel with us, Mister Lucas. You should stay and take care of your brother."
He felt that he owed his sister a lot, so he was afraid to make her unhappy. As a result, he stopped walking and said
to Jeremy, "Take good care of her, Jeremy."
Jeremy shot him a cold look. "I don't need your advice."
Lucas remained silent. He could only sigh weakly as he watched his younger sister being led out by Jeremy. He did
not mind it if his younger sister did not want to talk to him as long as she was safe and happy.
