Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 544 – You’re Courting Death
Lucia couldn’t help but smiled crookedly as if she had seen Burton’s dawn of victory. She was so excited that she immediately wanted to reach for the phone on the table and tell him the good news.
But her hand had only just reached out when it was pressed by a large palm. The man’s low magnetic voice sounded. above her head, “Don’t move, and I’ll inform Burton for you.” With her face burning, Lucia didn’t expect her thoughts had been seen through by August.
She had to withdraw her hand. and did not speak again. Catching the flickering expression on the woman’s face, August couldn’t help but
curl his lips and whisper, “Get some rest, and don’t move. I’ll call to tell him myself.”
With that, he drove his wheelchair and left the ward. He viewed Burton as his friend, and if he had a more important thing to do, he certainly would not stop him. Outside the ward, there was a group of patients’ families arguing noisily not far from the door, so.
August frowned slightly and drove his wheelchair to a less crowded window not far away to make a phone call. While August was dialing the number, a man in cleaning clothes pushed open the door of Lucia’s ward and quickly went in.
And over there, August, who was concentrating on dialing the phone, didn’t even notice. Meanwhile, in the ward. Lucia was lying on the bed when she heard a click from the doorway. Being happy, she subconsciously asked, “You finished the phone call so soon ”
The man who just walked to the end of the bed was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and said, “I’m the cleaner from the hospital to come over to
sanitize.” The man’s voice was rustling, like the sound of a razor blade sliding on sandpaper, making it inexplicably uncomfortable to listen to.
Lucia was a little surprised and turned her head sideways to see the man’s face, but she didn’t realize that she couldn’t see what the man looked like at all, because the man was bending over, head down, and the brim of his hat was pressed very low.
Seeing that he picked up a white spray bottle and went to the corner of the window to start sanitizing, she was only slightly reassured.
Without a word, the man sprayed sanitizing liquid along the corner.
Lucia turned back, lying on the bed without moving, and soon she felt a cold chill on her back.
It was a kind of chill that came from the bottom of one’s heart when being stared
at. Lucia sucked in a cold breath and slightly turned her head sideways with
some uneasiness, but suddenly found that the man was already standing beside
her bed, staring at her from above.
Lucia froze, and instantly raised her eyes to meet the man’s gaze, and then, she
couldn’t help but trembled.
She knew this man!
He was the monk named Jeff whom she saw sweeping the floor and doing
carpentry in the courtyard when she went to Evergreen Temple!
And at this moment, what exactly did he want to do by suddenly appearing in her
ward?
“You…”
Before Lucia could say anything, she suddenly saw a flash of silver light, followed
by the feeling of something against her waist through the quilt, and when she
looked down, she froze in shock.
It was a dagger, and its sharp edge glinted silver as if the blade could pierce
through the quilt and hit her with the slightest effort.
The monk named Jeff’s eyes appeared a little angry and manic, and he almost
gritted his teeth and stared at her saying,
“Even if I kill you, I won’t be able to relieve my hatred!”
Lucia felt a chill run through her body. She was already unable to move because
of the wound on her back, and now that the dagger was against her waist, she
was even stiffer and did not dare to move.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself while asking softly, “What did I do to
make you hold such a grudge against me?”
“Where is that man!” Jeff gritted his teeth, with both eyes scarlet, “The man who
killed Mr. Makoto!”
Lucia was startled. Suddenly remembering something, she sucked in a cold
breath and spoke, “I’m not sure…” Before she could say anything, she felt the
dagger at her waist suddenly stabbing hard at her, and feeling the pain, she was
frozen in place, not daring to move.
Lucia winced, “I really don’t know, and I don’t know him very well.”
Jeff obviously didn’t believe her and said through gritted teeth, “Bullshit! You are
all in cahoots! I thought you three were sneaking around in front of the Evergreen
Temple from the beginning, but Mr. Makoto was kind enough to receive you!
After you left, the man came over. Who would believe you don’t know him very
well?”
Lucia’s heart sank straight down.
No wonder August suspected that she and Bishop were in the same boat… From
what Jeff said, she probably guessed that
Bishop might have followed her to Evergreen Temple that day, but if he wanted to
kill Mr. Makoto, why did he wait until after she left? It was too suspicious.
Without waiting for Lucia to speak, Jeff’s sorrowful voice came again, “I want to
avenge Mr. Makoto! All of you people deserve to die…”
“Bang, Bang!”
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Jeff directly, and he was startled,
wrinkling his nose at Lucia, and pressing the dagger against her waist.
“President Adams, Lucia, can I come in?”
When Zane’s voice came from the doorway, Lucia couldn’t help but shivered.
Before she could react, the knife Jeff was holding in his hand suddenly moved to
her neck, with the sharp point straight up against her white neck.
Jeff scolded her in a low voice, “Tell him it’s not convenient to let him in! Don’t
play tricks! Or I’ll stab you straight through your throat!”
The cold touch chilled Lucia. Although Jeff was not a bad person, at this time he
had lost his mind, and was no different from the thugs. Once she disobeyed him,
she was afraid that he would really do something.
Taking a deep breath, she nodded at Jeff, and lowered her voice, “I’ll do as
you…”
With that, she raised her voice and said in the direction of the door, “Don’t come
in, and it is not convenient for now.” Even though she pretended to be calm, her
voice still unconsciously carried a slight tremor when she spoke.
Soon, Zane’s voice came from outside again, “Okay.”
Instantly, Jeff sighed with relief and continued to ask Lucia in a lowered voice,
“Where is that man? You’d better not hide anything, and tell me the truth!”
Lucia could understand Jeff’s feelings for revenge. If it was her loved one who
had been killed, she would also want to kill her enemy personally, but Jeff was
alone and old, no match for Bishop.
She took a deep breath and asked, “You’re going to take revenge on him by
yourself?”
Not waiting for Jeff to open his mouth to answer, Lucia added, “You’re courting
death.”
Instantly, Jeff’s face became even more somber, and his hand holding the dagger
moved forward a further inch. At once, the blade pierced into Lucia’s skin and
there was blood gushing out from her neck.
Lucia frowned in pain and gritted her teeth as she continued, “I’m serious. If you
go over like this, instead of avenging Mr. Makoto, you’ll get yourself into trouble.”
“Don’t try to fool me!”
Chapter 544 You’re Courting Death
Lucia gritted her teeth in pain but still insisted, “That thing had nothing to do with
me. Even if you kill me now, you can’t take revenge!”
When he heard that, Jeff widened his eyes slightly and froze in his movements, a
little surprised.
Suddenly, Lucia raised her hand to push his hand holding the dagger away. With
a swing of her arm, she swept the bedside table right next to her.
The cup on the table was swept off and fell to the floor with a “pop”.
