The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1842

Sophia did the unimaginable after she forced a man who never hit a woman to shove her away so forcefully. Her irrationality took over, and she had gone past the point of no return. She could not bear to see them happily together after losing the one thing she held near and dear to her.

"I'll ruin you!"

Just as Jeremy was checking to see if Corinne was hurt, Sophia took out what looked like a mineral water bottle from her pocket. Inside the bottle was an unknown liquid, which she tried to splash at Corinne as she unscrewed the bottle cap and screamed at Corinne. It was too late to evade the attack by the time Jeremy noticed it, and his only recourse was to wrap Corinne in his arms and form a human shield as he rolled down the stairs.

The liquid Sophia spilled on the ground bubbled up in some sort of gas. Since her first attempt had failed, she rushed down the stairs with the remaining half bottle and splashed it at them. All of a sudden, a loud bang echoed in the stairwell as the door was kicked open. The police rushed in and captured Sophia in the nick of time.

"Hands in the air!"

"Put that bottle down on the floor!"

"You're under arrest!"

After the initial scare, Jeremy stood up gently and released his grip on Corinne. "Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?"

Corinne had broken into a sweat. She expected that Sophia would attack her, but she never would have expected Sophia to do something as outrageous as splashing acid on them at a public place like the hospital. She was glad that she had the foresight to call the police before she came.

The pungent smell of acid still lingered in the air. She glanced at Jeremy's arm and noticed that there were several holes in his sleeves as a result of the liquid. Knowing that the acid might have seeped through and reached his skin, she dragged him to the emergency room right away.

Jeremy had no choice but to go with her, despite his assurances to her that she was fine.

Once the doctor had dressed the wound on Jeremy's arm, Corinne finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was saddening to think that he had to suffer an acid attack just before his legs had healed. Tears welled up in Corinne's eyes as she looked at the wound on his arm.

As Jeremy's clothes were stained with acid and were thus no longer fit to be worn, the doctor provided a hospital gown for him. He was just about to button it up when he felt water droplets trickling down the back of his hand.
