Chapter 652

Corinne leaned casually against the wall and said nonchalantly, “I’ve always been very healthy so I

know my body can handle this much. Besides, I’ll only need to take some supplements later to be as

good as new. Thank you for asking though.”

However, Lucas noticed her face was gradually getting paler by the moment. He frowned and said

mockingly, “Well, you certainly treat others better than you treat yourself.”

For some reason, Corinne could not help but think he was denigrating instead of praising her but she

could not care less even if he was. Instead, she said seriously, “Mister Lucas, can I uphold my end of

the bargain on another day? Even though my body is perfectly alright, I still think it’s best not to have

surgery right after donating blood.”

Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Miss Corinne, are you trying to go back on your words?”

Corinne shrugged and chuckled drily. “If you insist, I don’t mind doing it right now.”

An indescribable feeling akin to pity started to rise in Lucas’s heart when he saw how pale Corinne’s

face became. ‘Wait a minute! Am I feeling sorry for this girl in front of me?’

His pity immediately turned into annoyance. He waved his hand and said, “Oh, forget it. You can get rid

of the baby another day. Besides, you’re right. I wouldn’t want the blood on my hands should anything

happen to you on the operating table. To avoid any complications, it’s best to have the surgery another.

day.”

Corinne pulled the corners of her mouth into a fake smile. “Thank you for your understanding, Mister

Lucas.”

“Since you’ve got what you want, I’ll be leaving then.” After straightening out his sleeves, he then

added, ” Be back in New Capital City in three days. Someone from my side will contact you then. We’ll

arrange for the best hospital and the best surgeon to do the surgery so that it won’t affect your chances

of having kids in the future. I hope you won’t come up with another excuse to not do the surgery then,

Miss Corinne.”

Corinne looked at him coldly. “Don’t worry, Mister Lucas. You have my word.”

With that, Lucas left the room. From all outward appearances, he looked like a gentleman but inside,

he was made up of nothing more than ruthlessness and coldness. He did not care whether Lilin’s

mother made it out alive of the emergency ward. No, all he cared about at that moment was for that

thing in Corinne’s tummy to disappear forever so that nothing could ever threaten Anya’s chances of

getting married to Jeremy.

Corinne remained standing where she was, thinking, while subconsciously stroking her belly.

“Miss, what’s the matter? Are you feeling alright?” Someone suddenly pulled her hand.

She snapped out of her thoughts and looked down at the little girl in front of her. “I’m fine, sweetheart.”

“I’m so happy to hear that. Miss, now that we have enough blood, does that mean my mommy is going

to be alright too?”

“Yup. Your mommy is going to be perfectly alright. Let’s go and wait for her to come out of the

emergency ward.
