Chapter 325 Being blackmailed by the paparazzi Perhaps because he was injured, August felt very tired after he arrived at the bedroom.
He lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon.
As he slept, August suffered pain from the wound on his left arm.
The next day he woke up late.
After washing up, August went downstairs.
Joshua and Bond were having breakfast.
Seeing August coming down, Joshua asked, "How's your wound?"
"It’s fine."
This wasn't the first time August has been wounded like that.
August walked to the table expressionlessly and drank coffee.
Charlotte came in and said in a deep voice, "Burton's here."
As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, Burton got into the room, carrying a paper bag.
Burton put the paper bag on the table.
"President Adams, here are the clothes you asked for.
I've pushed today's morning meeting to tomorrow."
As he was speaking, Burton glanced at August's bandaged arm and frowned.
"President Adams, you ..."
August replied faintly.
"It's fine."
Then August put down his coffee cup and looked at Burton, saying, "Just eat some if you haven't eaten yet."
Burton replied softly, "I've already eaten.
President Adams, there is something that I don't know if I should say ..."
Seeing that Burton was a little bit hesitant, August understood instantly, leading Burton towards the balcony.
Burton closed the balcony door and said, "I got a message this morning."
As he was saying, Burton took out his phone and showed the message to August.
August didn't pick up the phone.
He glanced at it and saw a few photos that were all about Lucia and Jonathan in the message, on the crew, and also at the racing club.
They looked intimate.
Seeing August's grim face, Burton explained.
"I've checked it.
These photos should be taken by a paparazzo from a small media company.
They wanted to use these photos to extort money, otherwise, these photos might have been exposed."
August frowned and said, "Buy out these photos.
As for that company, we will teach them a lesson in the future."
After saying that, August left the balcony with a grim face.
August asked Lucia to talk to Jonathan about endorsing redeur, but he didn't expect that Lucia would do that with Jonathan.
He really underestimated her! Suddenly, August felt annoyed inside.
He picked up the suit that Burton brought him and walked towards the second floor.
Joshua was a little surprised and asked, "August, you haven't had breakfast yet ..."
August didn’t respond and left coldly.
Joshua felt curious.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Burton who came out from the balcony, asking, "What's wrong?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Burton shook his head.
"Nothing."
Seeing that, Joshua snorted.
"Okay."
Meanwhile, Lucia stood at the lift door on the first floor of the hospital.
She carried a fruit basket and held a bouquet of flowers in her arms, feeling a little uneasy inside.
Lucia heard that Jeanne woke up yesterday afternoon, so she came to visit her immediately.
Lucia thought if Jeanne didn’t try to save her, the person lying in the hospital bed would be her.
And in that case, she would probably have lost the baby in her belly.
For this reason, Lucia thought she had to come to visit and thank Jeanne.
"Ding."
The lift door opened and Lucia stepped into the lift.
She pressed the button that could lead her to the floor where Jeanne was.
Exiting the lift, Lucia walked down the hallway and found the ward where Jeanne was.
She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Soon, it came the sound of footsteps in the room and the door opened.
Merlin stood in the doorway and looked down at Lucia.
He disgustedly asked, "what are you doing here?"
Lucia was a little nervous.
She knew that Merlin was Jeanne's brother.
She half-closed her eyelids and replied softly, "I came here to visit Jeanne."
Merlin snorted.
"You're not welcome here, get out."
After saying that, Merlin turned around and intended to close the door.
At that moment, a voice sounded.
"Merlin, what's going on?"
A woman appeared at the doorway and looked at Lucia outside.
She frowned and asked Lucia, "Are you the woman that Jeanne saved?"
Lucia took a deep breath and nodded.
"I've come to visit and say thank you to her."
Mrs.Kelly frowned and stared at Lucia, saying without scruples, "If I remember correctly, you are the woman who has been pestering August before, aren't you?"
Lucia tightened her hand that was holding the flowers.
She bit her lip and looked up at Mrs.Kelly.
"President Adams and I..."
"You don't have to explain, I probably know about it."
Mrs.Kelly glanced at Lucia and said sarcastically, "I really don't understand how Jeanne would risk her life to save a woman like you.
Tell you what, if you still have any conscience, you should stop interfering in other people's relationships as a slut, you understand?"
Mrs.Kelly's words were vicious.
Hearing that, Lucia felt that something was stabbing her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
Lucia took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Mrs.Kelly, don't worry, I won't do such an immoral thing."
After saying that, Lucia put the fruit basket and flowers at the doorway and added without being condescending, word by word, "Since you refuse to let me in, then never mind.
Please say hello to Ms.
Kelly for me."
After saying that, Lucia bowed to Mrs.Kelly and turned around to leave.
Just at that moment, a soft female voice came from the ward.
"Mom, is that Lucia?"
Hearing that, Mrs.Kelly frowned and didn’t know how to reply.
Then, Jeanne added, "Mom, let Lucia come in."
Lucia hadn't gone far and could hear Jeanne's words.
She took a deep breath and turned around to look at Mrs.Kelly who was standing in the doorway.
Mrs.Kelly frowned and was reluctant, but end up compromising.
She looked at Lucia and said coldly, "All right, since Jeanne said that, you can go in."
After that, Mrs.Kelly stopped standing at the doorway to stop Lucia.
Lucia was very happy inside and walked into the ward immediately.
As soon as she walked in, Lucia saw Jeanne lying on the hospital bed.
Jeanne’s face was pale and part of her body was bandaged.
Jeanne looked very weak.
Lucia walked forward and asked, "Are you ...
okay?"
Jeanne smiled.
"I'm fine.
Have a seat."
Lucia nodded and sat down in the chair next to the bed, having mixed emotions in her heart.
After a while, Lucia encouraged herself and looked at Jeanne, saying, "Jeanne, thank you so much for what you did for me yesterday."
Hearing that, Jeanne smiled.
"You don't have to say thank you to me.
I heard that yesterday when I was in the emergency room, you are the one who gave me blood!"
Lucia smiled and said softly, "No matter what, thank you so much."
Lucia thought that she would lose the baby in her belly If Jeanne didn't save her.
Jeanne looked up at Lucia, a chill appeared in her eyes but faded quickly.
But soon, Jeanne smiled again.
She took Lucia’s hand and said softly, "Actually, I did that out of instinct, and you were there because I was asking you to help me carry stuff.
And you are August's subordinate, I don’t know how to explain to him if something happened to you because of me!"
Hearing that, Lucia forced herself to smile and didn't say anything else.
It sounded as if it was a constant reminder of her relationship with August.
It was just a superior-subordinate relationship.
