Chapter 966


    Corinne helped Lucas, who was hopping on one foot, out of the orthopedic department to a chair so he


    could rest for a bit. The doctor had ordered an X-ray of Lucas’ foot.

    Lucas was not keen on sitting; he wanted to go straight to the X-ray room.


    Corinne immediately stopped him when she saw he was about to put his injured foot down. “Don’t


    move. The doctor said you shouldn’t put pressure on that foot until we have the X-ray result.”


    Lucas believed the doctor was overreacting. “A few steps won’t hurt,” he insisted.


    “No. Stop! Don’t move!” Corinne cried out in a panic.


    Lucas did not dare to disobey Corinne’s order, so he sat back down.


    “Stay here, and don’t move. I’ll go get you a wheelchair,” said Corinne gruffly.


    Lucas smiled and nodded. ‘I would’ve gotten hurt earlier if I knew I’d receive this kind of treatment from


    her.’


    Corinne got a wheelchair for the nurse. She then helped Lucas onto it and wheeled him to the X-ray


    room. She made sure to carefully support him throughout the whole process.


    Lucas did not feel like his level of injury warranted Corinne to treat him like that, but there was no


    denying that he enjoyed her caring for him. This was something he never thought he would get to


    experience in this life.


    After the X-ray session was done, Corinne wheeled Lucas back to the orthopedic department to show


    the doctor the X-ray result. Even without the doctor’s expert eye, she could tell Lucas had injured his


    foot based on the result.


    The doctor diagnosed Lucas with a minor bone fracture. He ordered the nurse to put his foot in a cast


    and prescribed some pain medicine and anti-inmmatory medicine for him. The only precaution Lucas


    would need to take was to avoid putting pressure on his foot for a month, which meant he would not be


    able to walk properly until he recovered.


    Corinne wheeled Lucas out of the orthopedic department worriedly. She was definitely not in a good


    mood.


    She never had any intention to ept Lucas as her brother, nor did she want to have anything to do


    with him. However, she still felt bad for being the reason Lucas had to be wheelchair-bound for a


    month.


    The wheelchair belonged to the hospital, and they were only allowed to use it up to the hospital


    entrance.


    Thus, Corinne suggested, “Mister Lucas, I’m sorry you got hurt because of me. Rest assured that I’ll


    compensate you for the medical fees, lost wages, emotional damage, and any additional fees you


    might have incurred. Though, it’s best to call your family toe pick you up since it’ll be hard for me


    to send you back alone.”


    Lucas could not help but feel disappointed to hear Corinne say that since it meant she still saw him as


    an outsider. “Corinne, I’m okay. You don’t have to feel bad about what happened.”


    Corinne sighed. “In any case, why don’t you call your family toe pick you up first?”


    Lucas reached for his pocket and realized in shock that his phone was missing. “My phone must’ve


    flew off when I was hit by the car.”


    Corinne frowned deeply. ‘What should I do now? I don’t have his family’s contact number. But then


    again, I wouldn’t want to call them even if I have. They’ll just me me for getting Mister Lucas


    injured… Gah! This is so annoying!’


    However, it was not like she had the strength to carry a six-feet-tall grown man by herself, nor could


    she just leave him there. After thinking through all of her options, she decided to call Jeremy.


    The call quickly went through. “Yes?” drawled Jeremyzily.


    “Mister, are you free now?”


    Jeremy could tell something was wrong based on Corinne’s tone alone. “What’s the matter? Where are


    you now?”


    “I’m at the hospital,” replied Corinne honestly.
