Chapter 695
Corinne walked over to Anya’s side, intending to take the child from her arms and lay him flat on the ground.
However, Anya held onto Joey tightly, pretending to be pitiful in Lucas‘ embrace. “Don’t touch my child! Corinne, I beg you,
please stop hurting my child!”
Corinne had no interest in watching her perform this pitiful act. Without even raising an eyebrow, she calmly said, “I should still
be able to save this child’s life. If you truly love your child, it’s best to listen to me and lay his body flat.”
It was easy to imagine that Anya would not cooperate. She simply did not believe that Corinne could save the child, and even if
she did believe, she did not want this child to survive.
Seeing that Anya still refused to cooperate, Corinne no longer expected this hypocritical woman to have a change of heart. She
thus reached out to snatch the child herself.
The child was very weak, and being tightly held by Anya like that would surely lead to his final breath being snuffed out!
Fearful that Corinne would take Joey, Anya hurriedly moved toward her brother’s embrace while holding the boy, saying, Brother,
she wants to take my child away! Help me!”
Lucas could not bear it any longer. He pushed Corinne away and angrily rebuked, “Corinne, will you never stop? Haven’t your
parents taught you the most basic manners? Do you not understand how to respect the deceased?”
No matter how stable her center of gravity was, Corinne stood no chance against a strong man’s shove, and she thus fell back.
Fortunately, Jeremy was right behind her and reached out in time to support her, preventing her from falling and getting hurt.
After helping Corinne steady herself, the man stared coldly at Lucas, exuding a dangerous chill.
Corinne knew that Jeremy was angry, so she quickly pulled his hand, indicating that he should not get involved. It was not the
time for him to argue for her.
Saving the child was their priority!
Corinne no longer bothered to communicate with the deceitful Anya and addressed Lucas, “Mister Lucas, if you still want your
sister’s child to survive, it’s best to listen to me!”
Lucas‘ eyebrows wrinkled in displeasure. “Is this a game to you, Corinne?”
How could he believe that Corinne could bring a lifeless child back to life?
Corinne knew Lucas would not believe her, so she said, ” Desperate times call for desperate measures. If the child comes back
to life, everyone will be happy. If not, you can continue to hold me responsible for everything. So why not give it a try, Mister
Lucas, just in case?”
Looking at Corinne’s meticulous, stern expression, it did not seem like she was joking. What she said also made some sense.
Just in case...
Doubt rose in Lucas‘ heart. After thinking for a moment, he held his sister’s shoulders and said, “Anya, Joey is already in this
state. Why don’t you let her try?”
Anya certainly did not agree. “But Lucas...”
Lucas patted his sister’s shoulder. “Rest assured, if she fails to save Joey, I’ll make her pay twice the price and ensure justice for
Joey.”
With her brother’s persistence, Anya could no longer resist. Reluctantly, she released Joey and followed Corinne’s instructions to
lay the child flat on the ground.
Frankly, she had doubts. Was Corinne truly that
knowledgeable in treating injuries? Could she bring Joey back to life? If so, would the boy not reveal the truth about his head
injury? If that were to happen...
No. Impossible! How could Corinne bring a dead person back to life? She was just struggling in her last moments, trying to
deceive them!
Anya sneered inwardly, eager to see what tricks this wicked woman Corinne could still play.
