Chapter 1671 Corinne shook her head. "I don't know you, so how can | hate you? Mister Maxwell, | don't have any memory of you at all, so no, | don't hate you. But | don't like you, and | don't want to have anything to do with you." Maxwell looked at Corinne with pain in his eyes. However, he also felt that that moment was the happiest he had been in the past 20 years.
After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Corinne, you and your mother are so alike. She also talks to me like that." Corinne frowned and rolled her eyes in disgust. "Don't bring up my mother! You're not worthy to talk about her!" Maxwell was not surprised by her reaction; Lucas also said the same thing to him before. He sighed and apologized, "I'm sorry.
| Corinne did not have the patience to listen to his useless explanations anymore.

Don't do anything stupid again! Think about your parents! Seriously, one would think you'd be more mature at your age." Maxwell looked at Corinne. She was less than one yard away from him, but he did not dare to reach out and touch her.
"I'm sorry... | don't know what else | can say but that. | know | have no right to ask for your forgiveness." Corinne smiled sarcastically. "You're right. You have no right to ask for my forgiveness, nor do you need to. Mister Maxwell, take your medicine and carry on." Not wanting to stay any longer, Corinne turned and walked out.
"Luna, wait!" called Maxwell.
Corinne stopped and said, "Mister Maxwell, | think you're mistaken. I'm Corinne, not Luna." Helpless, Maxwell relented and said, "Corinne, can you please stay for a while more?" Corinne did not want to but decided to stay regardless, seeing as she was already there with him. After all, she did promise Sunny she would help him.
Thus, she turned and said, "If | stay with you for a while longer, do you promise to eat well, take your medicine, and not take your life again?" Maxwell nodded.
Only then did Corinne walk over and stand beside his hospital bed.
"Okay, I'll stay here with you for a while. Why don't you have some porridge while I'm here?" Touched by her concern, Maxwell smiled happily at her. He picked up the bowl of chicken soup on the bedside and started drinking it.
Corinne simply watched him drink the soup silently.

"Lucas! Why... Why are you here? Didn't you say you're going back home to make sure Grandpa and Grandma are alright?" Lucas detected the guilt and panic in Sunny's voice, causing him to frown.
"Grandpa and Grandma are alright. Why are you standing at the door? How's he doing?" Sunny stood in front of the door to stop Lucas from going in.
"Uh... Dad's condition is much more stable, and he's resting inside now. | think it's best if you don't go in and disturb him. Come back later. In fact, why don't you go to work? I'll stay and take care of him, so don't worry." Lucas was sure Sunny was hiding something. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Move aside. I'm going in." There was no way Sunny was going to let him in. "Lucas, Dad is sleeping! You're only going to wake him up if you go in now."
Lucas scoffed. "He slept the whole night, so why would he still be sleeping now? Just what are you rtying to hide?! Get out of my way right now, or you're going to get it!"
Left without a choice, Sunny finally said, "Okay, okay, I'll get out of your way but you have to promise me you wort hit me after seeing whatever is inside. Okay?"
