The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 846

"Saffron has a lot of benefits, so it's possible that the amount of saffron in that glass of pomegranate juice wasn't too heavy for my body. That may be why I didn't have any symptoms, and all my indicators are fine too."

Lucas insisted, "Even if that is the case, I still want to read the report. Bring it to me."

Anya refused to take the report, however, so she sneakily held her mother's hand.

Phoebe understood her daughter's action and spoke up for her. "I know you're worried about Anya's health, Lucas, but there's no need to be so anxious when she's assured us that she's fine. You won't see anything in the report anyway."

Her words carried no weight in Lucas's eyes. He had an impatient look as he spoke in a slightly harsher tone, "Get the report from the doctor right now. Don't make me repeat myself."

Anya's unwillingness to take the report was telling because no protocol in the hospital prevented her from taking the report back.

Lucas noticed something was not quite right with Anya when she resisted going for the check-up but did not read too much into it at the time. However, he grew more suspicious when he saw Anya's uneasy reaction.

'Could there have been other ingredients in that glass of pomegranate juice that would only affect a woman's body? Is that why Anya was so afraid of getting a check-up because that substance must've been recorded in the test?!'

Corinne merely took a sip of the juice and spat it out, rather than drinking it outright. However, if there were other active ingredients in the pomegranate juice, there was no guarantee that those ingredients would not have any effect on a pregnant woman even if it was not swallowed!

Lucas began to fear the worst when he thought about that. He could not accept that his long-lost sister would be at risk of something terrible, even if the risk was not very high!

Although Maxwell did not understand why Lucas was so adamant about it, he did not want to see his children be at odds over such things. He thus said, "Anya, your brother cares about you a lot, and it's not that difficult for you to get the report for him if he wants to see it. Just do it so he can set his heart at ease."
