Chapter 1325


    Corinne looked at Lucas serenely and called him again. “Lucas.”


    Lucas was pleasantly surprised. He was so excited that his hands started trembling. “Corinne, can you


    please call me again? I didn’t hear it the first time.”


    Corinne frowned, but she did as she was told. “Lucas, I want to eat cream puffs.”


    Lucas was so touched that his eyes became red. “Okay. I’ll get someone to buy it for you right away!”


    Corinne nodded docilely. “Okay. I’m somewhat thirsty too, so can you please get me some water?”


    Lucas quickly stood up. “Sure! I’ll go get you a ss of water right now!”


    He looked around the empty room and saw there was no drinking water since Corinne had just moved


    in. Out of habit, he turned and wanted to have Edmund get some drinking water, but he realized


    Edmund was still not back yet.


    “Wait right here, Corinne. I’ll go get Sunny to get you some water,” said Lucas.


    Corinne nodded docilely again.


    Lucas brought out the thermos from the hospital room and was about to order Sunny to get him some


    warm drinking water when he realized Sunny was not outside.


    ‘Where did that brat go? He’s never there when you need him,’ thought Lucas.


    He looked back at Corinne, who was still lying on her hospital bed. Even though he was worried about


    her, he thought that it would be alright to leave her alone since she sounded like she was over


    Jeremy’s death.


    Thus, he closed the hospital room door and walked to the hospital pantry to get her some warm water.


    However, the moment he reached the hospital pantry doorway, he ran into Sophia.


    Sophia was looking into all the hospital rooms along the corridor, but she immediately trotted over to


    Lucas when she saw him. “Mister Lucas, can you please tell me where Corinne’s room is?” she asked.


    Lucas could not help but put his guard up when talking to her. “How do you know she’s in the hospital?”


    Sophia smiled bitterly as she exined, “Well, you know how I was dragged off from your ce this


    afternoon? After I went home, the more I thought about it, the more I felt I should tell Corinne about


    what happened to Jeremy. I went back to your ceter at night. Before I could even ring the


    doorbell, I saw your car speeding off.


    “So I asked your butler, and he said Corinne has been rushed off to the hospital…but he didn’t say


    which. I then guessed you’d bring her to the nearest hospital, so here I am. How is she doing right


    now? Is she okay?”


    Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Drop the act, Miss Sophia.”


    Sophia looked at him innocently. “What do you mean? I’m not acting at all.”

    Lucas smiled coldly at her. “Don’t pretend you don’t know how Corinne ended up in the hospital. Didn’t


    you go to my house in the afternoon with the sole purpose of provoking her? I’ve questioned the


    servants, and they told me that Corinne found out about Jeremy’s death from some fliers.


    “Just how stupid do you think I am, Miss Sophia? Nobody has ever dared to distribute fliers around my


    house unless they have some hidden agenda. Plus, the Holdens would never do this sort of sh*t. Who


    else could be behind the fliers but you?”
