Chapter 1034

Edmund never felt pressure like this before. “Sir, it’s because…”

Cedric glared at him. “You better not play dumb and tell us the truth. There’ll be hell to pay if I detect a

lie in your words!”

‘I can’t keep it a secret anymore. They’re going to find out sooner or later…’ thought Edmund. He

sighed helplessly and said, “It’s because Miss Corinne is—”

“It’s because she’s your savior, Grandpa. We owe her that much,” Lucas chimed in just in time.

Cedric and Beatrice turned toward the door and saw Lucas limping back in with the help of his

crutches.

Edmund sighed in relief. Faced with Cedric’s immense pressure, he nearly blurted Corinne’s secret!

Lucas limped up to Cedric and passed him a bottle of medicine. “Here’s the blood pressure medicine

you’ve asked for, Grandpa.”

Both Cedric and Beatrice were speechless. ‘How did he get back so fast?’

Lucas did not actually get the medicine himself. Halfway through, he suddenly realized Beatrice had

“Yes, Mister Lucas,” said Edmund with a nod.

Beatrice’s eyes darkened. She knew how stubborn her grandson could be, so she decided to not

pursue the matter for the time being.

“Fine, we’ll head home now. But make sure you take care of your foot, Lucas. You better let it heal

properly so that it won’t leave any aftereffects,” said Beatrice with concern.

Lucas smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I know how to take care of myself.”

Beatrice felt relieved to hear that. “Good, good. Let’s go then, Cedric.”

Cedric was actually unhappy about not getting his questions answered, but he had no interest in

staying in the ‘morgue’ any longer than he had to. Thus, he followed Beatrice out of the room without

protest.

‘There’ll be plenty of time for me to ask Lucas who Corinne really is after he gets home,’ he thought.

Edmund saw the two elderly people off to their car.

After they left, Lucas became deep in thought. ‘Seems like they’re suspecting Corinne to be Luna, but

she’s not ready to come back to the family yet… And if I tell Grandpa and Grandma, they’ll definitely
