Chapter 847
Lucas would never have treated Anya that way in the past. Even if she did something wrong, all she had to do was
shed some crocodile tears for him to pity and forgive her!
That feeling no longer existed, and she felt as though he did not care about her anymore.
She knew he did not show her any concern at all. He was neither angry at her, nor did he want to teach her a
lesson. She simply had no place in his heart and was treated like an outsider! Anya was confused as to why that
happened. She took Lucas’ hand and asked with reddened eyes, “What’s going on, Lucas? Do you hate me now?”
Lucas froze slightly and was tongue-tied when she asked him that question.

in his heart. For some reason, every action seemed to be very irritating, and he was especially annoyed by her
manipulative habit of crying at the drop of a hat.
Lucas shook off her hand and said, “I don’t. Stop overthinking and get some rest.
“But Lucas…” Anya was insistent. She had been using his love for her to achieve her various goals over the years,
so she was very upset to have lost the ability to manipulate him to achieve her ends.
She grabbed Lucas’ hand again and tried to be coquettish, “Lucas, I’m a little dizzy after I got my blood taken. Can
you sit next to me and let me lean on you for a while? Just for a while, I promise…”
Lucas wanted to refuse, but when he saw her pitiful begging, he felt a little conflicted and could not bear to say no.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the ward.
Lucas and Anya heard the sound and looked over to see who it was.
Phoebe went over to open the door and saw Corinne standing right outside.
“Hi there!” greeted Corinne smilingly. “I’m back!”
Beside her was her tall, handsome partner, Jeremy. However, he did not look up at all and was busy typing on the
phone as if replying to a message.
Phoebe did not seem happy when she saw Corinne, and she forced an ugly smile. “Didn’t you already leave? Why
did you come back?”
Corinne raised an eyebrow and said, “I never said I was going to leave. I just said that I was going to get some fresh
air. Your tone seems to suggest that I’m not welcome here. Is that so?”
As much as Phoebe hated the girl who messed up their entire household, she could not say that outright in front of

She could only laugh dryly, and Lucas immediately nudged her aside as soon as he walked over. Lucas opened the
door wide and said in a warm voice, “Come in, Corinne.”
Phoebe was stunned when Lucas shoved her aside. ‘What’s up with him? Why is he so warm toward Corinne? This
isn’t his usual self! He looks down on everyone, and no one can ever get
his attention! What makes Corinne so special?’
Anya grimaced as she noticed something was amiss too. Lucas was becoming increasingly indifferent to her, yet he
was very enthusiastic toward Corinne.
Corinne walked in leisurely and smiled brightly when she saw that Anya had returned too.” Hey! Miss Anya is back,
too! Have you finished the check-up?”
