The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 651

Corinne was completely speechless. The absurdity of the situation gnawed at her bones like a bitingly cold wind. The image of Lilin sobbing her heart out while she was waiting for her mother to come out of the emergency ward appeared in her mind, causing her to take a deep breath and say, "Okay, I promise you."

Lucas let out another satisfied smile. "Your resolve impresses me, Miss Corinne. I trust that I have your word. Let's go."

Corinne nodded, turned around, and headed straight to the elevator. Lucas followed her into the elevator and just like that the two of them made their way down to the blood collection room. It was eerily quiet in the elevator as there were only two of them inside.

Lucas thought he should say something to break the silence so he casually asked, "Are you friends with the car crash victim."

"Nope. I don't even know who she is," replied Corinne emotionlessly.

This surprised Lucas very much. He looked at her in disbelief. "You don't know who the car crash victim is? Did you seriously agree to get rid of your baby just to save a stranger?"

Corinne glanced at him. "She has a daughter about five or six years old. My heart breaks just thinking about all the hardships she has to go through if she loses her mother at such a young age. Thus, I'm willing to do whatever I can to help her."

Her words struck a sympathetic chord in Lucas's cold, cold heart. He started to think about Luna, who until now he still had no idea whether was dead or alive. 'I wonder if mom is still alive? I hope she is for Luna's sake.'

It was a long while before Lucas regained his senses. Before this, he never believed anyone would be kind enough to save a stranger. He thought all the news reports about kind people doing kind things for others were fake.

"Mister Lucas, what are you still standing there for? Don't tell me you regret your decision to donate blood?" asked Corinne with a frown when she noticed Lucas did not follow her out of the elevator.

The question pulled Lucas out of his reverie. He noticed the elevator door was wide open, prompting him to quickly step out.

"No, I don't regret my decision. I'm the type who always makes good on his promises."

"Good to hear that."

…

Lilin nodded and turned to look at Lucas. "Thank you, Mister, for donating your blood to my mommy. I promise to repay you one day."

"You don't have to repay me. You can, however, repay the lady that brought me to you," said Lucas indifferently.

After a while, the blood bag became full and the nurse hurriedly brought it to the emergency ward.

Lucas threw the cotton ball into the trash can, gracefully rolled his sleeves back down, and stood up from the chair. Suddenly, a wave of dizziness came over him.

'If a perfectly healthy man like me gets dizzy from donating some blood then surely the effect would be ten times worse for a pregnant woman like Corinne?' he thought with a frown.

He turned to look at her and asked curiously, "Why do you insist on donating blood when you're pregnant? Aren't you worried something's going to happen to you or the baby?"
