Jeremy endured the pain coursing through his body and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice. However, he maintained a relaxed tone as he said to Corinne, “Yes, I’m awake.”

Jeremy replied truthfully, “Yes.”

Her concern left Jeremy feeling a sense of warmth in his heart. A faint smile graced his lips, but his voice still held a hint of seriousness. “He did.”

Corinne raised her voice when she heard that. “What happened? How did he cause trouble for you?”
