Chapter 84
While August was absorbed in his own thoughts, a phone call came in before he was able to speak.
Looking at the name on the screen, August paused for half a second and answered the phone in front of Lucia.
"Peter, what is it?"
Peter’s voice is low, he sounds urgent.
"The condition of Miss Kelly is not very good, so you’d better go to the hospital to see her."
The mention of "Miss Kelly"
subconsciously gave Lucia a jolt, causing her body to stiffen for a few moments.
A serious atmosphere suddenly erupted in the car after Peter’s words.
A grave expression appeared on August’s face as he pressed the accelerator hard.
Lucia’s body leaned forward violently because of the force of inertia, and before she could react, August had already turned the steering wheel "I’ll be going right away..."
He spoke these words in a low voice and pulled his car over to the side of the road, looking at Lucia with some in her heart.
She pushed the door open and got out of the car.
The car started as soon as she got off the car.
The bitterness in Lucia’s heart rose as she stood at the side who was normally so calm and collected, would lose his cool.
Wasn’t it evident that he loved her? As she looked around, she noticed that the place was dark and that there were not many cars on the road.
August just left her alone in this dark place because of another woman.
It felt like a pair of strong hands were rubbing hard on Lucia’s heart, suffocating her somewhat.
She bit her lip and the pain forced her to sober up.
Her heart ached, and then she remembered a face.
After hesitation, Lucia still picked up her cell phone and dialed Paul Thomas’s cell phone number.
He was the only person she could turn to, even though they hadn’t known each other for long.
up now?"
Paul Thomas did not hesitate to ask, "Where are you? I’m on my way."
Twenty minutes later, Paul Thomas arrived.
As he watched Lucia shrink into herself beside a flowerbed, his heart suddenly softened.
After pushing the car door open, Paul got out, and quickly stepped forward, without saying anything.
After taking off his jacket, he placed it directly on Lucia’s shoulder.
Lucia looked up at Paul.
As her eyes filled with tears, Paul could not help but sympathize with her.´ Paul’s heart ached for her and he said softly, "Sorry, I’m late,"
"No."
Lucia stood up in a complicated mood.
She and August were a couple, but he abandoned her like this in the middle of nowhere.
Yet Paul, whom she had only met a few times, was the only person who cared about her.
Paul hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Where do you want to go? I will take you there."
please drive me to the Dream Hotel downtown?"
After hearing that, Paul subconsciously frowned.
A hotel? Lucia bit her lip.
"I don’t want to go home today.
I’ll settle for one night there, then go straight to work tomorrow."
Having heard that, Paul drove her directly to the Dream Hotel with no more questions asked.
As Lucia walked a few steps after thanking him, she realized that she was still wearing Paul’s jacket.
Just as she was about to turn around, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
And she heard a low, warm voice.
"It’s OK/I’ll send you in."
As Lucia looked at the hand on her shoulder and the determined Paul, Lucia’s heart warmed up, and she swallowed back the words of refusal.
"Okay."
It was a very good feeling to be cared for, she had to admit.
The two walked into the hotel side by side without noticing the man hiding behind the pillar next to them, wearing a mask and a peaked cap, bundling up his entire body.
The man snapped pictures of Lucia and Paul with his cell phone deliberately...
After checking in, Paul accompanied Lucia to the hotel’s elevator and left.
When Lucia returned to her room feeling weak, she casually checked her pocket and found something slippery.
After pulling it out, she saw a familiar red silk bag.
Upon opening the bag, the silver bracelet was revealed. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
When she went back to the old house for the first time, the old in her pocket? Could it be ...´ It flashed in her mind that the old lady hugged her goodbye as she was leaving.
Could it be that she took the opportunity to stuff it into her pocket at that time? She also remembered that the old lady had told her that this bracelet was a relic left by August’s mother, representing the approval of the Adams Family Suddenly, an unspeakable emotion overwhelmed her.
The old lady was so good to her that she could not bear to tell her the truth, she could not bear to hurt her.
For the sake of the old lady’s health, she would accompany August to continue this drama.
As for the silver bracelet, she would return it to August some work the next day with dark circles.
As soon as the most important task was completed, Lucia rushed straight to Ted Ted Stebbing raised his eyes, glanced at her, and casually tossed her a pile of them easily."
Lucia faintly lowered her eyes and hastily answered, "Okay."
As she was indicate.
"Work right here with me."
As she followed his gaze, Lucia glanced over at the sofa next to her and hesitated.
The colleagues here would be reporting work to him all the time, so what would they think of her if she worked here? Lucia plucked up the Ted’s face sank and he said coldly, "What’s inappropriate? We need to improve the take the file and sit on the sofa.
expressions on their faces were somewhat intriguing as they opened the door and saw Lucia was not very happy.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Why on earth did you look like this after spending half a day at Mr.Stebbing’s office?"
As Lucia sighed helplessly, she told Emma the entire story of her morning.
Emma’s eyes widened when she heard it.
She came over and lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Do you think Mr.Stebbing Stebbing’s cold eyes.
"Nonsense!"
