Chapter 596
Rosie glanced again at Corinne with disgust and barked sarcastically, “Why are you spacing out? Let’s go! I’ll bring you to get your makeup done!”
Corinne sighed, nodded helplessly, and followed Rosie as the latter led her backstage.
Lucas stared coldly at Corinne’s rear figure and narrowed his eyes. He did not care much about Corinne’s potential performance later, but he simply felt that Corinne’s reaction was a little odd.
Things were bound to happen whenever Corinne showed up, and there was always some trouble in the offing. All he could hope for was that she would not ruin his grandfather’s birthday party that day.
Had he not been forced to calm his younger sister’s emotions so she could get her foot injury. checked up, he would not have allowed Corinne to stay around, let alone perform on stage.
At that moment, Edmund finally arrived with the Lovelaces’ family doctor.
“Sir, Doctor Kingsley is here,” Edmund said.
He then looked worriedly at Anya while she was still nestled in Lucas’s arms. “How is Miss Anya doing?”
Lucas’s face remained calm as he explained, “Her foot is injured pretty badly, and she can’t walk anymore. Have Doctor Kingsley check her to see if there’s a fracture.”
“Okay. Right this way, doctor. Please have a look at Miss Anya’s foot.”
The family doctor stepped forward and suggested, “Sir, perhaps you should lay her down on a stable platform so she could relax a little. We’ll be able to examine her better that way.”
“Okay.”
“Do you feel any pain here?” the doctor asked, pressing her ankle.
Anya winced in agony and lied, “It does hurt a little, but it’s much better than before. The pain was really bad when I fell down the stairs earlier…”
“What about here?” The doctor pressed other parts of her foot.
Anya’s answer was the same ‘It hurts a little.’
After a thorough examination, the doctor frowned and stood up.
“Sir, Miss Anya’s ankle is just a little sprained, and there aren’t any fractures. The injury isn’t very severe, so there’s nothing to worry about. Just apply some sprain ointment, and she’ll recover slowly after some rest. Remember not to let her walk too soon, though.”
