Chapter 713

Knock! Knock!

A knock was suddenly heard outside the door.

“Mister Lucas, it’s me,” said Edmund.

Lucas snapped out of his trance and said, “Come in.”

Only then did Edmund dare to enter Luna’s room.

The tired-looking Lucas pinched the space between his eyebrows. “How’s Joey doing?”

“The doctor said Mister Joey’s head injury is quite serious as there were signs of him experiencing a

mild concussion. After stitching up his head and giving him some medicine, the doctor advised us to

bring Mister Joey home to recuperate since he didn’t seem to be too happy to be staying in the

hospital. It’s best if Mister Joey can stay in a place where he’s most familiar while he’s healing. The

only precaution we need to take note of is to make sure no water comes in contact with his wound and

to bring him back to the hospital every day for the nurse to change his bandage.”

Lucas narrowed his eyes. ‘That poor kid. He has been injured so many times, with each time more

serious than the previous, ever since he was adopted by this family.’

“Did the doctor say what was the thing that caused the injury?”

“He said it doesn’t look like Mister Joey was cut by a weapon and that his injury was most likely caused

by him bumping his head into a table with sharp corners.”

Lucas knitted his brows together. He had just received confirmation about his suspicion and yet he

could not help but feel disappointed. ‘So it turns out Anya was lying and Corinne wasn’t the one who

hurt Joey after all.’

At the same time, he was feeling a little relieved because there was a slim chance Anya was not the

one who hurt Joey either. The little kid could have accidentally bumped into a table and Anya decided

to use this to frame Corinne.

While it was still very evil of Anya to do that, it was not as evil as hurting her own child. “There might be

hope to make her see the wrongs in her way after,’ thought Lucas. He proceeded to make a mental

note to himself to keep a close eye on Anya and to teach her how to be a decent human being to

prevent the same thing from happening again.

At that moment, Edmund said, “Mister Lucas, I’ve arranged for Mister Joey to stay with the nanny in her

room since he seemed very frightened to be in Miss Anya’s room.”

Lucas frowned again. This makes Anya even more suspicious. Joey has been resisting Anya ever

since he woke up…. Could it really be Anya who hurt him?’

Thinking about all this made Lucas’ head hurt. “Okay, thanks for that. That’ll be all. You may leave

now.”

However, Edmund stayed where he was. He still had something to report to Lucas. “Mister Lucas,

we’ve already found the pocket watch you lost in Kanton City.”

The pocket watch was given to him as a birthday present by Luna 15 years ago. On the watch face,

she had personally written the date of his birth and a picture of him, though it looked nothing like him

since she was still a child who was still learning to draw. Nonetheless, he treasured the pocket watch

very much and kept it on him all the time since it was one of the few things she had given him.

However, he discovered the pocket watch was gone after he came back from Kanton City.

Lucas looked up and asked, “Where did you find it?”

A weird expression flashed across Edmund’s face before he answered, “We found it in the blood

collection room in the hospital where you donated your blood. A nurse saw it and picked it up. You

must have dropped it when you were taking off your suit jacket.”

Lucas nodded. He did not think too much of it; he was just glad the pocket watch was found. However,

Edmund did not look relieved at all. “Mister Lucas, I found something odd in the surveillance footage

when we were looking through it to find your pocket watch.”

Lucas raised his brow and asked, “What is it?”

“After you donated your blood, the two nurses on duty secretly stole some of your blood from the

sample but fear not, we’re looking into the matter as we speak.”
