Seeing that August was silent and did not respond, Lucia took a deep breath and gathered up the

courage to continue to ask. "I guessed it right?" She wanted to use

August raised his eyes coldly and asked instead, "Do you think my taste is so bad?" ® It instantly

made Lucia's heart sink.'®

Lucia was pushed to the side of the hospital bed. Before she could turn around, she heard his cold

voice from behind, "I'®

promised Mr. Mitchell. So of course I won't leave you alone.” Hearing his words, Lucia's heart

tightened, and indescribable grief came to her.’

of her out of his own will from beginning to end. Lucia suddenly felt a sense of depression in her

heart. She bit her lips, turned around, looked at August with a serious face,

and said word by word, "From now on, you don't need to worry about me. If Dad asks, I will explain

to him." Hearing this, August met her stubborn gaze, and his heart tightened. He pursed his lips and

he didn't speak for a long time. The atmosphere in the room became awkward again. August looked

at her cold face, and his heart sank suddenly A few seconds later, he raised his hand, pressed her

shoulders, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Take a rest. I'll call someone to take you back

later."

With that, he turned and walked to the window, took out his mobile phone, and called Burton.

Looking at the time, he thought

She strode out of the room. The moment the door was closed, Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of

relief and walked towards the bathroom at a bit of a loss. His answer was like a spell lingering in her

mind. As expected, she had overestimated her status in August's heart. She smiled mockingly. She

quickly walked into the bathroom, took out her phone, and saw the messages from Lyan.'

[Lucia, Adeline is fine.] [I saw the live streaming. How are you?] [I'm back at the event. Where are

you?] Looking at several messages sent at different times, Lucia took a deep breath and texted him

back, [I'm fine, and I'm in the hospital now. I'll leave the follow-up work of the event to you.] She

and Lyan were the main planners of this event. No matter what went wrong, the blame would be

shared by the two of them in the end. They were in the same boat. At this time, they must pay

attention to the division of labor and not mess around in panic. Soon, she got a reply, (Okay, leave it

to me.] she took two steps, she saw several people walking towards her in the corridor not far away

Seeing the woman in the front, Lucia was stunned. Wasn't it the long-haired woman in the beige

elegant suit, Jeanne Kelly? ®

After a moment's pause, Lucia's heart tightened. She turned around subconsciously and hurried

back to the bathroom.!

Needless to say, she could imagine that Jeanne suddenly appeared in the hospital at this time, and

she must have come here to see August. If she went back to the ward now and bumped into them,

how embarrassing it would be!'®

Moreover, she and August had nothing to do with each other. If Jeanne misunderstood them, it

would be even more'®

complicated.'®

sound in the corridor. She slowly'®

stuck her head out and looked in the direction of the ward.'®

Chapter 183 Two men were standing at the door. They looked like Jeanne's bodyguards guarding

the door with serious expressions.’ ®

Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad she had left the ward just now. in the ward,

August had just hung up the phone when he heard the door open. As soon as

Burton to turn around and rush to the Boehm event.'®

"August, I heard that there was something wrong with Boehm. I was so worried. When I found out

that you were in the’

hospital, I rushed over immediately.” There was a bit of anxiety in Jeanne’s tone. But when she

quickly glanced around the ward and didn't see anyone else, she was secretly relieved. She had seen

the videos of the live streaming on the Internet. Originally, she was a little happy when she saw that

Lucia was injured. But she hadn't expected that within two minutes, Burton called to tell her that

August had an emergency and might arrive late.’

She naturally associated the two of them together, and she couldn't sit still. She immediately drove

to the Boehm event site, and then followed him to the hospital.’

Jeanne stepped forward, stretched out her hand to take his arm naturally, and asked softly, “August,

what happened?" August's eyes darkened, but his face was as cold as ever. He paused for a second

and said lightly, "It's nothing serious.'®

Someone was injured, and I just came to the hospital to take a look.” Jeanne's eyes swept across the

ward quickly, refusing to let go of any suspicious corners. After confirming that she found nothing,

she leaned on August and asked with some curiosity, "Who was injured? Is it serious?"

"It's nothing." August said in a flat tone. He raised his left hand slightly, glanced at his watch, and

said softly, "Jeanne, let's go now, and we can still catch lunch.”

With that, embraced Jeanne gently, and walked out.’

Jeanne was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll tell my dad and ask him to wait for us.”

They walked out of the ward side by side.’ August raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't

see that familiar figure. He subconsciously frowned tightly.'®

Did Lucia escape again thi time? How much must she hate him to ty to sip away under his nose again and again? Just as he was distracted, Jeanne said in a

sweet voice, "August, what's wrong? I there something wrong?”'®

Just now, she had excitedly said something, but he dict respond. ®

August came to his sense and said lightly, “There s stil some work to be done. Its aright Let's go.”

Jeanne nodded with a smile, took his arm, and walked towards the elevator.

Not for away, Lucia huddled at the door of the bathroom. Watching them hugging and leaving, She suddenly fet sad. Why did'®

she fee! inexplicably upset when she saw August with another woman?
