Chapter 1614:
Sitting beside her, Elyse offered a comforting touch. “We'll keep you safe, Jennie. Corrie won't get near you
again. We'll make sure she can’t hurt you.”
Jennie wrapped her arms around herself, her emotions raw and visible. Elyse stayed by her side, soothing her
until sleep claimed her.
Elyse then gently patted Jennie’s arm, pausing when she felt something unusual beneath her touch. She

Looking upward, her eyes were locked on a high window—the window to Jennie’s room.
“Damn it!” she muttered bitterly. “Just wait, Jennie, you'll be under my control soon enough.”

Driscoll, having overheard Corrie’s determined mutterings, realized the ongoing threat. He quickly sent a

Once they entered a private room, the door was swiftly closed, and they melted into each other's arms, like a
couple completely smitten with one another.
Jordy playfully gave Corrie a quick pinch on the backside, grinning. “You missedthat much, huh? We just met
yesterday, and here you are, already eager to seeagain.”
Corrie, blushing, gave him a playful punch in the chest. “You're such a tease. | just can’t help but think about
you.”
Jordy chuckled heartily, the sound filling the room. He swept Corrie into his arms, sitting her sideways on his lap
with a proud air, asking, “So, my sweet, what's been running through your mind?”
With a coy pout, Corrie leaned closer, her voice soft and sultry. “All our happy memories.”
