"Corinne! You're awake, too!" "Thank God!' Corinne nodded toward Greg and Pamela. She then released Jeremy's hand and quickly walked to the bedside. Tears fell as she looked at Joey.
'He's alright. Joey really is alright...' thought Corinne.
When Joey saw Corinne, he instantly released the apple in his hand and threw himself into Corinne's arms. "Mommy... I thought I'd never see you again..." Corinne hugged him tightly. "Mommy's here! I'll never lose you again!" 1 "Mommy..." There was not a dry eye in that ward. Jeremy also subtly furrowed his eyebrows, his emotions quietly dancing behind his slightly reddened eyes.
He turned to ask Francine, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at hlooking after the other three?" Francine wiped away her tears and said, "Don't worry! We've got more than enough people at hto protect them. I even asked Chester to stay with the kids. I was just too worried about Joey, so I cwith Grandpa and Grandma to check on him. I'll go hshortly!" Jeremy nodded. "Take Grandpa and Grandma back hwith you. We have enough people here." Pamela chimed in immediately. "Jeremy, we're fine! Even if you send US back home, we won't be able to sleep. It's better for US to stay here with Joey. Plus, Corinne needs to rest too, so let US help you out a bit. We're here for you!" "Grandma, you and Grandpa should know your health better than anyone. If anything happens, it'll only complicate things for US. Just go home, okay? Joey is fine. He's just suffering from sminor injuries and shock. He should be discharged by tomorrow morning," said Jeremy sternly.
Pamela did not want to add to his worries, so she nodded and said," Alright, we'll go back with Francine, then. Take good care of Corinne. She's been through a lot these past few years, waiting for you." "Of course I will." After spending sttogether, Jeremy arranged for someone to drive Francine, Greg, and Pamela back home. The ward becquieter after they left.

'You better hide yourself, Anya. My little Joey is only five! How could you treat him like this? You'l pay a thousand times over for what you've done!' snarled Corinne internally. "Mommy, I'm full. I can't eat anymore." Sweet little Joey shook his head, refusing the last spoonful of oatmeal that Corinne brought to his mouth.
Corinne nodded and ate the last bit of oatmeal herself. She then set the m bowl aside. She reached over and gently rubbed Jee Joey's face, saying," Alright, no more eating, then. You must be feeling sleepy, so why don't you take a nap?" Joey shook his head again, his eyes filled with fear. "No... Joey doesn't want to sleep..." Corinne furrowed her eyebrows. She had raised Joey and brought him up by herself, so she could easily tell whether he was tired.
Despite the tired look in his eyes, Joey stubbornly shook his head. He tightly held onto Corinne's clothes as if afraid they might be separated again. Corinne felt a pang in her heart after seeing through him. "Okay, you're not tired. Let's talk a while more."
