Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 525 – Is She In Captivity?
In an instant, the entire room fell deathly silent. A few seconds later, Lucia gritted her teeth and left. With a bang, the door closed. August’s tensed body suddenly relaxed. He lowered his head and was immersed in complicated emotions.
In the last month of recuperation in the Temple, he thought about a lot, including his legs. If his legs really couldn’t recover, what kind of identity would he be when he returned and faced everyone? What would she think about? At that moment, the door was pushed open and Joshua walked in.
Looking at the dark room, he couldn’t help but frown and turn on the light. When he saw August lowering his head, he was stunned and asked, “What’s wrong, August? Did that woman say something to you?” August looked up at him and said, “Joshua, tell me.
Was it a good choice for me to return to Austos?” Losing his legs also made him lose his previous life. He was reborn but was
deprived of many privileges. Joshua frowned slightly and suddenly became serious. He sat down beside him, “August, your idea is very dangerous!”
In the past, August was manful, and never
denied himself. But now, he is a completely different person. Joshua said
earnestly, “Why did you say that? Of course, you should come back and let
Bishop experience everything you suffered these days! You must take back what
belongs to you! Also, Mr. Makoto was killed by him. Don’t you want to take
revenge!? What’s more, Bishop has controlled Old Madame now!”
Joshua’s words made August sober up. Yes, he was right! Even if it was for the
sake of his family, and his benefactors, he
couldn’t give up just like that, and he couldn’t lose his resolution to rise again
from the ashes!
Thinking of the woman who ran out just now, he paused slightly and asked,
“Where is Lucia?”
Joshua replied truthfully, “She ran out just now and was caught and brought in
again. She doesn’t seem to be in a good
mood. She is in the bedroom now.”
Hearing this, August fell silent for a moment. After a while, he said softly,
“Joshua, contact Kylan in your name and ask
them to come here today.” Joshua nodded and immediately left.
After he left, August fell silent again. He picked up a dart from the table next to
him and threw it at the disc on the wall. “Swoosh!” The dart hit the center of the
red heart. At the same time, something flashed through his mind. Before his
accident, he had investigated a person, and it seemed that a woman could be
used by him.
The bedroom that Lucia was in was similar to August’s bedroom. She sat on the
sofa and did not resist. On the contrary,
she was extremely calm. When she came out of August’s bedroom, she was
angry. However, as she slowly calmed down,
at this moment, she was still thinking about the first time that she had seen
August in a wheelchair. For a moment, she
felt a little depressed. It was at this moment that someone knocked on her door.
She turned around and saw Burton
walking in.
Lucia took a deep glance at him and waited for him to speak. Burton said dryly,
“President Austos has ordered me to
satisfy your needs. So you can tell me if you need anything.”
Lucia snorted, “You intend to imprison me?”
Burton paused for a moment before replying, “That’s not what the president
meant.”
Lucia said sarcastically, “Then what does he mean? He thinks that I colluded with
Bishop, so he just imprisoned me
here?”
Burton was silent, but he didn’t leave. After thinking for a long time, he walked up
to her and said in a serious voice,
“Everyone has been having a hard time recently. Maybe you don’t know it, but
the President has experienced a lot,
including…”
His throat tightened and his voice stopped. A trace of compassion flashed
through Lucia’s heart. She couldn’t help but
ask, “What happened to his legs?”
Burton paused for a moment and then said, “Bishop did it. He wanted to break
his legs and let him experience this pain
before killing him.”
Burton’s voice was calm, but Lucia felt a sudden chill from his words.
“And then what happened?”
Burton continued to explain, “Later on, after he and Mr. Denko bit him, they left
him in the deep of Evergreen Mountain.
It was Joshua who rushed over to save him. For his safety, he settled him in
Evergreen Mountain Temple. He has been
there for more than a month.”
Hearing him mention the Evergreen Mountain Temple, Lucia unconsciously
clenched her fists and remained silent.
Seeing that she did not speak, Burton continued, “To the president, those people
in the Temple are his benefactors. Now that he has implicated innocent people,
he feels guilty and wants to find out what happened. So he did this to you.
Please
forgive him.”
Suddenly, Lucia was feeling like crying. She had only met the abbot and other
young monks once, and the news had already made her depressed, let alone
August. At this moment, the man’s questioning, suspicion, and anger seemed to
have become reasonable.
“The president didn’t keep you here just to keep you in captivity. From another
point of view, it’s a kind of protection. Now that Bishop is powerful in Austos, he
will definitely look for the president’s weakness after learning that he is alive,
and it’s safest for you to stay with him.”
Hearing Burton’s words, Lucia’s heart jolted. Does that mean that she’s the
weakness of August?
As if he could read her mind, Burton coughed and said softly, “Your relationship
with the president before has been
enough for Bishop to hurt you, so the president must ensure your safety.”
Hearing this, Lucia finally understood that it was because of her previous
relationship with August. The idea that flashed through her mind just now was
just her wishful thinking. Taking a deep breath, Lucia replied, “I understand now.
Please pass a message to him that I’m willing to listen to his arrangements, but
how will I explain it to my family?” Burton said softly, “Don’t worry. The President
will arrange it, and it will only be temporary.”
Nodding her head, Lucia grew silent again. Burton stood at the side and seemed
to want to say something, but he hesitated. Finally, his throat tightened and he
spat out, “Oh right, about Paula…”
Lucia instantly understood and turned to look at Burton. When she met his clear
eyes, she paused for a moment before slowing down her voice and said, “She’s
still receiving treatment. When I first returned, she had already woken up, but she
fell asleep again very quickly.
The doctor said that her condition is getting better,
but she needs to continue the treatment. She should be doing better now.”
Hearing this, Burton’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed. Immediately after, a
hesitant expression appeared on his face, “I
just wish that she could wake u
Speaking of which, he wasn’t by Paula’s side when she needed him the most.
When she woke up, it was hard to say if
Paula would accept him anymore.
