Chapter 596

Rosie glanced again at Corinne with disgust and barked sarcastically, “Why are you spacing out? Let’s

go! I’ll bring you to get your makeup done!”

Corinne sighed, nodded helplessly, and followed Rosie as the latter led her backstage.

Lucas stared coldly at Corinne’s rear figure and narrowed his eyes. He did not care much about

Corinne’s potential performance later, but he simply felt that Corinne’s reaction was a little odd.

Things were bound to happen whenever Corinne showed up, and there was always some trouble in the

offing. All he could hope for was that she would not ruin his grandfather’s birthday party that day.

Had he not been forced to calm his younger sister’s emotions so she could get her foot injury. checked

up, he would not have allowed Corinne to stay around, let alone perform on stage.

At that moment, Edmund finally arrived with the Lovelaces’ family doctor.

“Sir, Doctor Kingsley is here,” Edmund said.

He then looked worriedly at Anya while she was still nestled in Lucas’s arms. “How is Miss Anya

doing?”

Lucas’s face remained calm as he explained, “Her foot is injured pretty badly, and she can’t walk

anymore. Have Doctor Kingsley check her to see if there’s a fracture.”

“Okay. Right this way, doctor. Please have a look at Miss Anya’s foot.”

The family doctor stepped forward and suggested, “Sir, perhaps you should lay her down on a stable

platform so she could relax a little. We’ll be able to examine her better that way.”

“Okay.”

Lucas carried Anya into a nearby guest room and gently placed her on the sofa so the doctor could

examine her injuries.

Anya was no longer as stubborn as before. She obeyed her brother obediently and cooperated with the

doctor as he checked her foot. Unbeknownst to everyone, a sinister yet subtle smile appeared across

her innocent little face.

The truth was that her foot did not hurt at all, and it was never hurt in the first place. It was all fake!

‘Corinne, oh, Corinne! I’m excited to see what will happen once you go on stage later!’

Edgar hated it when bad singers took to the stage and made a mess out of a song, and he

that would hate Corinne to the core once she butchered the song. That could be enough to stop darn

Corinne from doing her best to associate herself with the powerful and to achieve her

dreams of securing power, wealth, and glory!

“Do you feel any pain here?” the doctor asked, pressing her ankle.

Anya winced in agony and lied, “It does hurt a little, but it’s much better than before. The pain was

really bad when I fell down the stairs earlier…”

“What about here?” The doctor pressed other parts of her foot.

Anya’s answer was the same ‘It hurts a little.’

After a thorough examination, the doctor frowned and stood up.

“Sir, Miss Anya’s ankle is just a little sprained, and there aren’t any fractures. The injury isn’t very

severe, so there’s nothing to worry about. Just apply some sprain ointment, and she’ll recover slowly

after some rest. Remember not to let her walk too soon, though.”
