The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 699
The ambulance and police cars arrived at the Riveras‘ simultaneously. The medical staff were the first to rush in, examining the
child’s injuries and inquiring about the measures taken by the family. They praised the family for their effective rescue, stating
that otherwise, the child might not have been saved!
When the doctors praised them, Lucas glanced at Corinne with a complex expression in his eyes.
Because the child had lost a significant amount of blood, the wound on the back of his head needed to be stitched up. The
medical personnel lifted Joey onto a stretcher and took him to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
Lucas instructed Edmund to accompany the child while he stayed to coordinate with the police. Anya did not go with the
ambulance to accompany Joey because whenever she approached the child, he would cry out in fear. The medical staff had to
persuade her to step out of the vehicle and not to further upset the child.
She could only get out of the car, but she was worried about what the child might say to Edmund along the way.
After the paramedics took the injured child away, the police approached and asked, “Mister Lucas, someone from your family
reported that someone killed the boy here, correct?”
Lucas nodded and described the entire incident to the police.
The police were somewhat surprised and said, “So you mean the child isn’t dead and has been saved?”
“That’s correct,” Lucas calmly and elegantly replied. “I’m sorry, but because the child’s injuries are severe, he needs to receive
treatment at the hospital first. Once his condition stabilizes, we can cooperate with your investigation.”
The police nodded in understanding and continued with their routine questioning. “So, who do you suspect harmed your child?
Do you have any leads?”
Lucas’s expression became complicated, and after a moment of silence, he turned his gaze toward Corinne. “It’s her.”
The police and their colleagues all turned to look at Corinne, who stood not far away.
“You suspect this lady of committing the crime. Do you have any evidence?”
“We have eyewitnesses. My sister and our family’s servant both saw her committing the act.”

After understanding the situation, the police walked toward Corinne with a serious expression and asked, “What’s your name?”
Corinne calmly replied, “My last name is Carew, and my name is Corinne.”
One of the police then said, “Corinne Carew, someone has reported that you’re suspected of intentional homicide. Now, come
with us to the station for questioning.”
Corinne was unsurprised by this outcome and prepared to cooperate, going with them.
Suddenly, Jeremy’s large hand grabbed her shoulder, stopping the girl who was about to leave. The man coldly glanced at the
police, then narrowed his eyes at Lucas.
“Mister Lucas, how come you didn’t mention how she disregarded your obstruction and saved the child? You didn’t even say a
word about it to the police.”
Lucas‘ eyebrows furrowed as he replied, “She did save Joey, but that doesn’t prove she didn’t harm anyone in the first place.”
The police were rather confused by this and paused before asking, “What does that mean? Are you saying this girl killed the
child first and then revived him?”
Lucas walked over, stood in front of Jeremy and Corinne, and answered, “Yes, that’s exactly what happened.”
Jeremy looked at Lucas expressionlessly and coldly said, “If she truly did hurt someone, why would she save them? What’s the
logic behind all this? Does it make sense to you?”
