Chapter 841
Anya looked visibly unwell and she was seeing stars, but she still shook her head and refused.” No thanks! I’m fine! I don’t need
to have a check-up...”
Corinne dragged her to follow the doctor. “Look at you, Miss Anya! Must you insist that you’re fine when your complexion is that
bad? You’re going to make others worry about you! It’s just a check-up, not an operation. What are you so afraid of?”
“I’m not afraid! I swear I’m fine! I don’t need to go...” Anya was unable to express her worries, but she knew Corinne had an
ulterior motive for making that suggestion. She was worried that she would walk into a trap if she went.
Lucas then said in a booming voice, “You’ve been told to go, so just do it! There’s nothing wrong with getting a checkup.”
Anya continued to struggle. “I’m fine. I’m not feeling sick at all...”
Lucas frowned. “Then we can always check to see if there are any potential issues. I don’t want you crying that you’re unwell
when we get home!”
He was beginning to lose a lot of patience with Anya. In the past, the care and love he had for his long-lost sister, Luna, had
been directed to Anya. However, with Luna’s return, that same care and love was redirected from Anya and toward Luna instead.
As impatient as he was toward Anya, she was still his half-sister whom he grew up with. He knew she was frail, so he still had
some concern for her. Anya frequently complained about having discomfort, so it was better to get her checked up. That would
save everyone the frustration of having to bear with her repeated complaints when they got home.
Anya did not have any other excuse to refuse after Lucas insisted on sending him to the doctor.
Corinne smiled and waved at Anya. “You must cooperate with the check-up and listen to the doctor’s advice, Miss Anya!”
Anya gritted her teeth resentfully after hearing Corinne’s annoying voice! ‘D*mn you, Corinne! God knows what sort of wicked
scheme a hypocrite like you is planning...’
After Anya went out with the doctor, Phoebe became the sole target of castigation.
Lucas glanced coldly at Phoebe but did not press on too harshly. She was his elder, after all, and his father was still around too.
He would settle things later once Sunny woke up.
Phoebe knew that her situation was not looking good, so she tried her best to find a way to reverse it.
As a stepmother, Lucas never considered her to have any status in the family. She had no say in anything, so she wanted to
start by persuading Maxwell.
“Hear me out, Maxwell...”
Maxwell waved his hands coldly and said, “Enough! There’s no point explaining to me right now. You’d better pray that Sunny is
safe, or the Riveras won’t forgive you!”
