The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1033

Edmund was about to follow Lucas out, but Beatrice grabbed his arm to stop him. "Stay here with us, Edmund."

"Umm, I don't think…" said Edmund awkwardly.

At that moment, all Lucas could think about was Corinne's condition, so he did not realize Edmund did not follow him out.

As soon as Lucas was out of earshot, Beatrice asked, "Edmund, tell me the truth now! How did Lucas injure his foot? Is it serious?"

Edmund did not want to worry Beatrice by leaving her there, even though the room they were in was not a real morgue but a room the hospital set up to look like one. It had been left unused for many years, so it was quite dank and dark. It was not the best place to leave two elderly people with frail health.

"Ma'am, Mister Lucas' injury isn't that serious. He only needs some rest, and he'll be good as new. Besides, he's not the type to take his health lightly. There's really no need for you to worry about him."

"Stop giving me the roundabout, Edmund. I'm asking you how Lucas injured his foot!" said Beatrice firmly.

"Uh…"

There was no question about it—Lucas would kill him if he told Beatrice the truth. Still, it was not like he could just walk away and leave them there!
