Chapter 163'13
lifted her chin to meet his eyes, and
At that. Lucia gritted her teeth in annoyance, asked back rather aggressively. "Do you want me to
get down on my knees to beg you?"'13
He had already promised to give the phone number to her, and now was he deliberately making
things difficult for her? Was it that people like him just enjoyed the feeling of manipulating others
from on high? Or did he think she was like the other women around him, who would worship and
admire him all the time? Look at the woman's eyes flashing coldness and detachment, August was
slightly stunned. At this moment, she was like a small hedgehog with thorns all over her body. Once
she was touched, all the thorns on her body would be erected. Half a second later, his face was
somber. Did he provoke her? Why was she so indifferent today with such hurtful words? With their
attitude becoming cold, the atmosphere in the office became very depressing in an instant. At this
time, there was a knock at the door, "pop, popâ, then Mary's voice came, "Mr. Adams, there is a
document that needs your signatureâ August frowned slightly and didn't say anything, but slowly let
go of the hand on the card. Seeing this, Lucia reached out and picked up the business card with a
standard unemotional and walked out. August looked up at the woman's back as she left, and a
dark light flashed across his eyes. Before he always thought Lucia was a woman who would not had
always thought that the little girl who blushed easily was an innocent "little white rabbit", but after
the divorce, he knew that she was a wildcat with sharp claws! After coming out of the office, Lucia
held the card in her hand and rubbed it back and forth with her fingers, her palm slightly burning'13
She had gone through a lot of trouble to get this contact. Finally, she got the business card and the
big stone weighing on her heart disappeared.'13
After work, she would go to the hospital to find Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell, and then contact Dr.
Long to discuss the surgery plan. With this in mind, Lucia felt a little more relaxed, but before she
got off work, Mrs. Mitchell called her. Lucia was discussing the change of planning case with her
colleagues in the department when her phone buzzed on her desk. After she scanned the screen
and saw that it was Mrs. Mitchell, she hesitated about whether to answer it. But when she saw her
colleagues waiting for her, she had to hang up the phone first."
After discussing the proposal and waiting for her colleagues to leave, Lucia then had the time to call
Mrs. Mitchell back.â
"Hello, Mom, what's up?"
When the call was answered, Mrs. Mitchell's voice came with a little bit of anxiety, Lucia, are you off
work?"
to the hospital quickly and your dad...â Mrs. Mitchell paused, unable to continue her sentence. At
that, Lucia was immediately very worried and couldn't help but hold the phone tightly, "What's
wrong with my dad?" Did something happen to her dad?â
"Your dad is fine. It's just that." Mrs. Mitchell stammered and could not express over as soon as
possible.â
Lucia bit her lip, and hurriedly answered, "Yes, Mom, I'm coming over!â When she hung up the
phone, Lucia felt anxious. She wasn't sure what was going on, but from Mrs.
Mitchell's tone on the'® phone, it didn't look goodâ ®
Lucia looked up and scanned the clock on the wall. It was still more than half an hour before the
end of the day. If she left'®
now, she would be leaving early, but at this time, she couldn't care more, so she packed her things
and left the officeâ
QUICKY'®
After leaving the office, she hailed a taxi and immediately rushed to the hospital. and pushed it
straight inâ
"Dad, Mom, you." When she saw Mr Mitchell lying on the bed like normal and Mrs. Mitchell
standing next to him, Lucia was slightly stunned and a little surprised. It did not look like anything
serious had happened..."
But the next moment, when Mr. Mitchell looked up and saw her, his face suddenly turned somber
and he said in a deep voice. "Come here!'®
Seeing her dad who suddenly changed his expression, Lucia paused, confused, "Dad, what's
wrong...â Why was her dad so angry at the sight of her?'®
"Aren't you clear? Come here!" ®
with his face red with anger, Mr. Mitchell leaned forward and reached out his hand to point at her
shakily.'
Feeling very uneasy, Lucia gritted her teeth and forced herself to walk forward. But just as she
reached the bed, Mr. Mitchell was so angry that he raised his hand, and then a slap came towards
her face. Lucia froze, not yet clear what happened. When she burned hotly with a loud "pop".*
Lucia subconsciously took a step back, shocked to look at the angry Mr. Mitchell, Dad, you..."
Since she was a child, Mr. Mitchell had never hit her, and this was the first time! Mrs. Mitchell, who
was standing on the other side, was also dumbfounded, and when she reacted, it was also too late.
She was so shocked that she reached up and grabbed one of Mr. Mitchell's arms, saying, Mitchell!
What are you doing? Why are you hitting Lucia?" Mr. Mitchell's breath was heavy and sharp as he
glared at Lucia and he shouted coldly, "She's the one I hit because she'sâ
disgraced our Mitchell family!" Lucia stood in place. Looking at the scene in front of her, she felt
dizzy. As soon as she received the call, she immediately rushed over.
Unexpectedly, once she entered the door, she was inexplicably slapped before she could ask about
what happened. "Don't stop me!" Mr. Mitchell, who had always been gentle, turned red and threw
away Mrs. Mitchell's hand, shouting at Lucia, "You tell me today! What is the real reason for your
divorce from August!â Looking at Mr. Mitchell in such the pain on her cheek, sucked in cool air, and
asked, Dad, what happened...â Mr. Mitchell shivered with anger, very emotional, You still have the
nerve to ask me?"
Mis. Mitchel who saw that th situation was not right immediately rushed to Lucia and said, "Lucia, you go first Hurry up!â"®
At this time, Mr. Mitchell was angry and could not be stopped. If he had a heart attack, the situation would be even worse. ®
Lucia elt very aggrieved. Looking at her dad's furious look, she didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately turned to un out of the ward'®
After the door to the ward closed, she could faintly hear the sound of arguing coming from inside. She gritted her teeth and darted forward through the entire
corridor before she slowly came to 3 halt
All things in her brain were like 2 jumbled mess and she could not figure it out @
What exactly made her dad so angry and also involved August..'®
