Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 338 – Surviving Lucia felt like she had a long dream in which she was in an endless sea without any
signs of hope.
Suddenly, a strong wind created big waves and she was instantly submerged… “No!” Lucia screamed, opening her eyes. All she could see was the white ceiling. She gasped like a beached fish and her forehead and back were already wet with sweat. “Lucia!” said an anxious, familiar male voice.
Then Paul appeared with a glint of excitement in his eyes. “Lucia, you’re awake!” Lucia took a deep breath and regained consciousness. “Where am I?”
Paul answered immediately, “In the hospital. You’ve been kidnapped and frightened. You got a cold and had a high fever all night.
It only broke this morning.” Lucia looked around and came to her senses. The whole room was white. It was indeed a ward. Lucia couldn’t remember how she had been saved yesterday. Her throat felt dry as soon as she opened her mouth. She frowned and Paul handed her a glass of warm water.
“Drink some water.” Lucia nodded and felt better after finishing it in one gulp. What happened to me?” Paul frowned. “You’ve been kidnapped. I got a message from the kidnappers and went to the beach to look for you yesterday. You were cold when I found you. I was so scared.” “Kidnapped?”
“Yeah, they asked for 200,000 dollars. I gave the money to them and they sent me your location, so I headed there right away.” Lucia took a deep breath and recalled the face of the driver yesterday.
If she had really been kidnapped, how could the driver have known she was pregnant and told her to call August for help? The kidnappers must have wanted something other than money. All the details didn’t add up.
She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and asked Paul seriously, “Did you see anyone else on the beach yesterday?” Paul
shook his head and answered, “No.” For some reason, Lucia was a little disappointed. She had expected
August to save her. To her surprise, it was Paul who ended up saving her from the kidnappers. She looked
up at Paul and suddenly felt warm. “Thank you,
Paul.”
Paul said to her seriously with bright eyes, “It was the least I could do. Lucia, I’d love to take care of you.”
He
stretched out his hand and held her hand gently. Feeling his warm hand, Lucia stiffened. Embarrassed, she
withdrew her hand slowly and changed the subject. “My parents…” Paul gave her a gentle smile.
“They
don’t know about it. Don’t worry.” Lucia breathed a sigh of relief. If Bill knew she had been kidnapped, it
would definitely have an effect on his recovery. She might as well keep it from them for now. “Have the
kidnappers been caught?” Paul shook his head and said with a straight face, “Not yet. It’s up to you to
decide if you want to call the
police,”
Lucia tensed up. Alter a moment, she forced a smile. “I want to get out of Austos City soon.”
It was just too dangerous here. She had been in a car accident and kidnapped. The danger was all around
her
even if it had nothing to do with Jeanne.
She was afraid to puess how many people knew her secret and
want
to hurt her. With this in mind. Lucia stroked her belly gently and said in a soft voice, “I just want me and the
baby to stay
safe.” Paul hesitated for a moment and finally nodded approvingly. “You’re right. I’ll have my assistant book
a flight
this afternoon. You rest.”
Lucia nodded obediently and breathed a sich of relief as Paul walked quickly out of the ward. She felt lucky
to
have survived. She was just disappointed in August. It seemed that she really was nothing in his mind. She
had pinned all her hopes on him but he hadn’t even bothered to save her. How disappointing! She wanted
to leave
Austos City soon. She expected nothing of this city.
Meanwhile, in Cloud Apartment, August was lying unconscious in bed with pale lips. Next to him, Josliua
was frowning at him in confusion. August had suddenly gone to the beach last night. Joshua had located
his car after fixing his things and found
him dying on the beach. He had known August for so long and it was the first time he had seen him so
weak.
Then he had dragged August back from the beach. August had had a high lever all night and was still
unconscious now. “Why would he ratlier go to the beach than stay on mission?’ Before Joshua could figure
it out, August suddenly
coughed. Joshua immediately turned liis liead. He was surprised to see August’s eyes slightly open. “You’re
awake!”
August frowned, coughed for a moment, and asked in a weak voice, “Where’s Lucia?” Joshua frowned at
once. “What?”
August propped himself up slowly with a grim face, looked up at Joshua, and asked again, “Where is she?”
Joshua said unhappily, “How should I know?”
August was confused and tried to recall what had hiappened before he passed out yesterday. He
remembered
that he and Lucia had collapsed together on the beach, but why had Joshua only brought him back? He
pulled
the needle out of the back of his hand and sat straight up. Where did you find me?” Joshua didn’t answer
but asked, “Did you find Lucia at the beach yesterday?
Don’t you know how important
last night’s mission was…” Before Joshua could finish, August got out of bed with a cold face and headed
out. He pushed open the door,
walked downstairs, and asked Bond, sitting in front of the monitor, in a cold voice, “How did the mission go
last night?”
Pond hesitated and looked up at Joshua behind him.
Joshua caught up with August and said lielplessly, “You weren’t there yesterday. We’d just surrounded the
dock
when we discovered that everything had been switched. Mr. Denko’s men didn’t even show up!”
August’s face darkened. His eyes blazed with sury and he subconsciously clenched his fists. It was strange
that he had been on a mission when Lucia had been kidnapped. It was likely to be Mr. Denko,
August took a deep breath, suddenly thought of somethint and ordered Joshua, “Give me your phone.”
The most important thing now was to find Lucia and make sure she was safe.
