The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 713

Knock! Knock!

A knock was suddenly heard outside the door.

"Mister Lucas, it's me," said Edmund.

Lucas snapped out of his trance and said, "Come in."

Only then did Edmund dare to enter Luna's room.

The tired-looking Lucas pinched the space between his eyebrows. "How's Joey doing?"

"The doctor said Mister Joey's head injury is quite serious as there were signs of him experiencing a mild concussion. After stitching up his head and giving him some medicine, the doctor advised us to bring Mister Joey home to recuperate since he didn't seem to be too happy to be staying in the hospital. It's best if Mister Joey can stay in a place where he's most familiar while he's healing. The only precaution we need to take note of is to make sure no water comes in contact with his wound and to bring him back to the hospital every day for the nurse to change his bandage."

Lucas narrowed his eyes. 'That poor kid. He has been injured so many times, with each time more serious than the previous, ever since he was adopted by this family.'

"Did the doctor say what was the thing that caused the injury?"

"He said it doesn't look like Mister Joey was cut by a weapon and that his injury was most likely caused by him bumping his head into a table with sharp corners."

Lucas knitted his brows together. He had just received confirmation about his suspicion and yet he could not help but feel disappointed. 'So it turns out Anya was lying and Corinne wasn't the one who hurt Joey after all.'

Lucas looked up and asked, "Where did you find it?"

A weird expression flashed across Edmund's face before he answered, "We found it in the blood collection room in the hospital where you donated your blood. A nurse saw it and picked it up. You must have dropped it when you were taking off your suit jacket."

Lucas nodded. He did not think too much of it; he was just glad the pocket watch was found. However, Edmund did not look relieved at all. "Mister Lucas, I found something odd in the surveillance footage when we were looking through it to find your pocket watch."

Lucas raised his brow and asked, "What is it?"

"After you donated your blood, the two nurses on duty secretly stole some of your blood from the sample but fear not, we're looking into the matter as we speak."
