Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 700 – Scars in the Heart
They placed Paula in an independent building inside the Adams’ old house, which could provide Paula enough privacy and
was near enough for Lucia’s frequent visits. The psychiatrist August invited started dealing with Paula’s illness quickly.
Thanks to the treatment, Paula had finally calmed down. Burton was pacing anxiously outside and was seeking every chance to get in, but was stopped by Lucia. “I understand how you feel now, but you are really not in the right mood to see her now.”
advised Lucia. Having been stopped for several times, Burton finally lost his temper. “Mrs. Adams, why can’t you let me in? I only want
to see her from far away.” bellowed he. Lucia hadn’t expected Burton could be so rude to her, though she fully understood how he felt.
She wouldn’t blame him for that, only frowning a little. “This is the way you treat Mrs. Adams?” As August’s solemn voice came from behind, he
strode up to Burton and hit him onto the floor. “Just go inside and worsen her illness if you like.”
“Mr. Adams…” Burton muttered. August’s strike was so strenuous that Burton’s cheek
swelled up immediately with some
blood around his mouth. Taking a gasp, he wiped his mouth and got up from the floor
swiftly. “Mrs. Adams, I’m sorry
for my rashness.” he apologized deferentially.
Lucia forgave him with a fretful wave of the hand. Her was too worried about the
treatment of Paula to care about
anything else. The psychiatrist August invited was an expert who had just
returned from Amecan. Sophie Capet, that was
her name. A young girl as she was, Sophie was actually an veteran of the trade.
August hired her due to Joshua’s earnest
recommendation.
Sophie eventually went out of the house with a grim face, when everyone had
been waiting for long. After greeting
August and Lucia with a polite nod, she put a solemn expression on her young
face. “I need some more time to cure her
illness, as Miss Thomas doesn’t seem to allow anyone to touch the scar in her
heart.” “Is it a tough case?” Lucia rubbed her forehead.
Sophie nodded significantly, “She kept telling me stories of the childhood with her
brother. That signifies she chooses to live in the past and is reluctant to face or
accept the reality. That is the crux.”
August gave Lucia a placatory hug. He couldn’t let himself be carried away, for
Sophie and he were the only two people
who could maintain the composure now. “How long do you think it will take her to
recover?” asked he. Sophie sighed in despair. “We’ll have to guide her out of her
memory and bring her into the reality first. Further
treatment is only possible when we’ve tackled that crux.”
“Is there anything that we could help?” August kept on asking.
“The presence of someone she cares about could help to bring warmth into her
current life and thus encourage her to
accept the reality.” answered Sophie.
Her words made everyone turn to Burton instantly. Though trying strenuously to
calm himself down, Burton still couldn’t help trembling.
“I can’t surpass her brother in her heart. I’m afraid I can’t
make it.”
Lucia rushed to him and held him by the overcoat. “But you are the most possible
one to bring her hope. She will really be
hopeless if you give up!”
“Mrs. Adams, I…” Burton muttered in agony, “I’m really afraid I can’t make it…”
“How can you inspire a patient when you yourself are not strong enough?”
Sophie said with her bright eyes and a
friendly grin that bore her lovely front teeth. “And why are you so certain about
the failure?”
Her voice pacified Lucia instantly as though with some magic touch, even Burton
began to nod with some hesitation.
Squinting at Dr. Capet, August finally understood why Joshua could be so
confident about her ability. Quite an expert she
was, wasn’t she?
Scars in the Heart “You guys can get in to visit her now. But don’t rush in together. One person or
two each time is suggested, and don’t disrupt her too frequently. Just make sure
she won’t hurt herself again.” Sophie then decided to leave after smoothing
her bangs casually.
Lucia didn’t have any hard feeling towards this Dr. Capet. In fact, she just got on
with her like an old friend. Lucia thus
offered, “Please allow August to send you back, Dr. Capet. Just leave Paula to
Burton and me.”
That was exactly what August was thinking about. He then motioned Sophie to
the gate.
“Now you can let me know what you want to say, Mr. Adams,” Sophie said cheerfully on
the way. “because a figure like
you doesn’t offer to be a driver so easily.”
August didn’t seem surprised. He only responded blandly, “I hope Dr. Capet could visit
Paula more often.”
“As a visitor or a coach?” Sophie halted and looked at August with a smile, “I understand
how you want to protect your
wife. No worries. I’ll teach her as much as I can.”
“Thank you very much.” said August.
Sophie touched her ear as though being doubtful. “Come on! Mr. Adams is expressing
gratitude to me?” she mocked
naughtily. “I bet Mr. Harris will get a shock at that!”
August was intelligent enough to detect the subtle information from her words. “So Dr.
Capet and Joshua are…?”
“Don’t mention him to me! He’s just a fool.” Sophie twitched her month with a wave of her
hand. “You know how good I
am at seeing through people, and I just made use of a slight of my talent on him. As a
result, this masochist just stick to
me and have me scold him all day long!” She finally used a curse as the conclusion, “A
sheer lunatic!”
With a significant flicker in his eyes, August observed straightly, “I’m sorry to tell but he is a
man too hard for you to
rein.”
“Too hard for me?” With a transient embarrassment that even eluded August’s sharp eyes,
Sophie became the
straightforward girl again. “No patient is too hard for me to cure. Just a lunatic, easy to
cope with.”
“Perhaps.” August raised his eyebrows, imaging what Joshua was like when he was irate
in despair. The tough and
cunning Mr. Jones finally met his match one day, huh!
Sophie got flustered when she noticed the mockery in August’s eyes. She hastened to
take the leave, “I’ll have to go now.
And I’ll keep my promise to you.” She then left the Adams’ old house with indecent haste,
thinking August must be a
madman like Joshua since they were friends.
