Chapter 846
"Saffron has a lot of benefits, so it's possible that the amount of saffron in that glass of pomegranate juice wasn't
too heavy for my body. That may be why I didn't have any symptoms, and all my indicators are fine too."
Lucas insisted, “Even if that is the case, I still want to read the report. Bring it to me."
Anya refused to take the report, however, so she sneakily held her mother's hand.
Phoebe understood her daughter's action and spoke up for her. "I know you're worried about Anya's health, Lucas,
but there's no need to be so anxious when she's assured us that she's fine. You won't see anything in the report
anyway."
Her words carried no weight in Lucas's eyes. He had an impatient look as he spoke in a slightly harsher tone, "Get
the report from the doctor right now. Don't make me repeat myself."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnya's unwillingness to take the report was telling because no protocol in the hospital prevented her from taking
the report back.
Lucas noticed something was not quite right with Anya when she resisted going for the check-up but did not read
too much into it at the time.
However, he grew more suspicious when he saw Anya's uneasy reaction.
'Could there have been other ingredients in that glass of pomegranate juice that would only affect a woman's body?
Is that why Anya was so afraid of getting a check-up because that substance must've been recorded in the test?!'
Corinne merely took a sip of the juice and spat it out, rather than drinking it outright. However, if there were other
active ingredients in the pomegranate juice, there was no guarantee that those ingredients would not have any
effect on a pregnant woman even if it was not swallowed!
Lucas began to fear the worst when he thought about that. He could not accept that his long-lost sister would be at
risk of something terrible, even if the risk was not very high!
Although Maxwell did not understand why Lucas was so adamant about it, he did not want to see his children be at
odds over such things. He thus said, 'Anya, your brother cares about you a lot, and it's not that difficult for you to
get the report for him if he wants to see it. Just do it so he can set his heart at ease."
Anya knew that there was no room to negotiate with Lucas, and refusing his order was out of the question since
Maxwell had urged her to get the report as well. "Okay. I'll go get it..."
She then turned around and went out.
10 minutes later, she came back with the medical report.
"Here you go, Lucas. You can see for yourself that there isn't anything wrong with my body.’ She handed the report
to Lucas with an aggrieved expression.
Lucas glanced at her, took the report, and looked through it one page after another. As expected, all her indicators
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere normal, and there were no issues with her health.
The information on the report was under Anya’s name, so Lucas asked softly, "Why were you so reluctant to bring it
back for me to see if there were no issues in the first place?"
Anya felt a little aggrieved and blinked a couple of times. "I've gone through so much today, so I'm both physically
and mentally exhausted. I fainted because they drew some of my blood for the check-up, and I just felt really
weak...
"It's a long walk from this ward to the place where I got my check-up, and I just didn't want to go back there again!
But since you insisted on it, I couldn't say no, right? Are you beginning to doubt me, Lucas?"
Anya then leaned into Lucas' arms. She wanted to seek comfort from him and find the feeling she once felt from
him when he stood by her side unconditionally in the past.
However, Lucas frowned in disgust, put the report aside, and gently pushed Anya away. "Well, if you're tired, you
should rest there on the sofa."
Anya felt distraught and unsettled after being pushed away by her brother.
