The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1033

Edmund was about to follow Lucas out, but Beatrice grabbed his arm to stop him. "Stay here with us, Edmund."

"Umm, I don't think…" said Edmund awkwardly.

At that moment, all Lucas could think about was Corinne's condition, so he did not realize Edmund did not follow him out.

As soon as Lucas was out of earshot, Beatrice asked, "Edmund, tell me the truth now! How did Lucas injure his foot? Is it serious?"

Edmund did not want to worry Beatrice by leaving her there, even though the room they were in was not a real morgue but a room the hospital set up to look like one. It had been left unused for many years, so it was quite dank and dark. It was not the best place to leave two elderly people with frail health.

"Ma'am, Mister Lucas' injury isn't that serious. He only needs some rest, and he'll be good as new. Besides, he's not the type to take his health lightly. There's really no need for you to worry about him."

"Stop giving me the roundabout, Edmund. I'm asking you how Lucas injured his foot!" said Beatrice firmly.

"Uh…"

There was no question about it—Lucas would kill him if he told Beatrice the truth. Still, it was not like he could just walk away and leave them there!

"But why does Lucas care about Corinne so much? The only girl I've ever seen him being nice to is Anya. Don't tell me he's really thinking of stealing Corinne from Jeremy!" said Beatrice.

"As much as we like Corinne, I'll never allow him to do something so shameful as to steal someone's wife. But I'm sure Lucas isn't the type to give up his principles for a girl. Tell me, Edmund, why does Lucas care about Corinne so much to the point of him being willing to risk his life to save her? If I remember correctly, he didn't used to feel like this toward her."

Edmund did not know how to answer Beatrice and Cedric since Lucas told him Corinne did not wish for anyone to know her true identity. 'If I tell them the real reason, Miss Corinne will get mad at Mister Lucas, and Mister Lucas will get mad at me!'

"Edmund, why the silence? Answer the question!" boomed Cedric, sensing things were not as simple as they seemed.
