Chapter 650
“Why would Lucas want to talk to me alone at a time like this? I wonder what is he going to tell me.” Corinne was a
little reluctant to talk to Lucas since she already confirmed Sunny to be Rh-negative. Thus, there was no need to
waste her time on Lucas.
Sunny was more naive than Lucas. That was why he was willing to donate his blood. Lucas, however, would ask for
something in return for his blood.
“Mister Lucas, can we talk about whatever you want to talk about at a later date? I don’t have the time. now,” she
then turned to Sunny and said, “time is of the essence. Let’s go!”
Sunny wanted to go with her but chose to stay where he was when he saw the look Lucas was giving him.
Corinne frowned when she saw Sunny not moving. She turned to look at Lucas and the man simply stared. back at
her.

Miss Corinne. One is to step outside and listen to what I have to say and two is for you to leave this place.”
Talk about a rock and a hard place. Corinne took a deep breath and said between gritted teeth, “Fine, I’ll listen to
what you have to say.”
Lucas broke out with a satisfied smile. “Very well then. This way please.”
Corinne followed him out, leaving Sunny alone in the ward to anxiously wait for them to come back.
Outside of the ward.
“Mister Lucas, I’m pressed for time here so do make it quick,” said Corinne.
“Okay.” Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Miss Corinne, you mentioned just now the hospital wouldn’t let you donate any
more blood. Could it be because you’re pregnant?”
Corinne did a double take and fell into silence. How did he know I’m pregnant? Wait a minute! It’s not surprising for
him to know that at all. I mean, Jeremy made a fuss about bringing me to the hospital to do a pregnancy test after
leaving the Lovelaces’ house that day. With his status and penchant for suspicion plus Anya’s egging, it would be
easy for him to get his hands on her pregnancy report.”,
Lucas did not seem to mind Corinne’s refusal to come clean with an answer since her silence was all the answer he
needed to confirm his suspicion. The only thing for him to do now was to negotiate a deal with
her.
“Miss Corinne, it’s risky for Sunny to donate his blood right now on account of his injuries.”
Corinne frowned at him. “He only needs to donate half a bag since I’ve already donated half a bag. That amount
would not put his health in danger at all.” xo.com fast update
Lucas was unmoved by her pleas. “I’m sorry but I won’t allow even that much.”
Corinne saw no hope in his cold, cold eyes. ‘Gah! I shouldn’t have pinned my hope on him or Sunny. Think, Corinne.
What else can you do?
“However, that doesn’t mean I’m unwilling to do so,” Lucas added when he saw Corinne turning around to leave.

at the sudden turn of events was mixed with some wariness. ‘Why would he, a pompous *ss, be willing to donate his
blood to those he thinks is beneath him?’
“Miss Corinne, my blood type is also Rh-negative so it’ll work on the patient as well.”
“Why don’t you just come out and say what you’re hoping to get out of this?” Corinne asked bluntly. She knew
Lucas was not the type to do something nice for someone without asking for something in return and she was right;
Lucas was indeed hoping to get something out of this.
He looked down condescendingly at her. Suddenly, an ambiguous smile appeared on his handsome face.
“I’ll make this simple for you. I’ll donate however much blood you want if you promise to get rid of that baby in your
belly.”
Corinne frowned. “Why do you want me to get rid of my baby?”
Lucas smiled. “You and I both know very well who’s the father of the baby inside of you. I will not allow you to give
birth to something that will threaten the happiness of my sister.
