Chapter 652


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


    know my body can handle this much. Besides, I’ll only need to take some supplementster 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 anyplications, 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’te 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 toe out of the


    emergency ward.
