Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 545 – Got Hurt in the Forearm
Got Hurt In the Forearm Outside the ward, August heard a loud crash in the ward when he was on the phone. His instinct warned him something was amiss then he approached the ward in his wheelchair with all his might.
Zane standing at the doorway was confused when he saw August. “President Adams, aren’t you inside the ward? I thought it was you who was talking to Lucia in the sick room…” Then, he pointed a finger at the ward.
August creased his eyebrows tightly. It upset him no end to hear what Zane had said. He then made an attempt to break into the ward, only to find the door was locked from the inside. Instantly, he was seriously disturbed by the worry about Lucia. “Lucia!” he knocked hard at the door.
“Open the door!” But there was no answer to it. August made a prompt decision, saying, “Kick down the door!” Zane immediately acted as August ordered. With the sound of a “Bang”, the door was kicked down..
August then made his way into it in his wheelchair. when he got in it, he was visibly shocked by what he saw. Lucia was held at a dagger by Jeff lying on the sickbed and the dagger with asharp blade nicked the porcelain skin of Lucia on her neck and drew blood.
August frowned in agony and within seconds he said to Zane, “Hold the door and nobody shall come in!” Zane turned around to guard the door at August’s command. There were the three after Zane left.
The atmosphere crackled with tension. August spoke first with deliberate efforts
to suppress his anger, “Jeff, let go of her.”
Jeff didn’t do as told, instead, he uttered through his clenched teeth, “Mr. Adams,
Mr. Makoto is dead! It’s all her fault!” August shook his head at him slowly while
turning his wheelchair. “No, it’s not her fault! You have to trust me, she is not the
man who caused the death of Mr. Makoto…”
“No! I don’t believe what you say!” Anger and desperation glittered in his eyes as
he said nastily, “I must avenge Mr. Makoto’s death on her! I’ll bring those
responsible to my justice! I’ll kill them all with my own hands! Then I’ll myself!”
“Then how about Garnett and other kids?” August said, signing. “What do you
think they do after your death? They are all so young…”
The mere mention of those little monks caused a suspicion of hesitation in his
mind, but August didn’t expect that Jeff
was too stubborn to be mollified. “I can’t take care of them anymore…” Jeff shook
his head painfully.
“Jeff, just think about it, who gonna take on the responsibility to foster Garnett
now that Mr. Makoto is dead? You are the
only hope of their futures, and Mr. Makoto would rather see them grow into men
successfully than see you kill…” “Jeff, listen to me, put down the dagger…”
August edged a little closer and closer to Jeff as he said.
“Stop there!” Jeff almost lost his grip on himself. “I don’t trust you either!”
But August didn’t stop as he asked, he continued to creep toward them inch by
inch. “Jeff, listen, hand me your dagger, ok?
Lucia was stiffened and paralyzed with fear while her heart was thumping
violently with astonishment.
As August got closer to them, Jeff looked so nervous that he shouted
uncontrollably, “Mr. Admas, don’t do it anymore!
Back off! Or I can’t guarantee what will happen to her!”
“Give me the dagger.” August kept saying the same word breathing deeply.
As he said that, he stretched his hand to him. “Give it to me, Jeff.” However, Jeff
brandished the dagger in his hand wildly as if he was irritated by his move
entirely.
In a blink of an eye, August was scratched by the dagger in his forearm, which
made blood ooze out of the cut at once.
Despite the searing pain in his arm August raising his arm continued calmly, “Jeff,
I know who is the real murderer of Mr. Makoto and I promise I will get even with
the murderer for him someday because I believe that blood will have blood…” His
voice was firm and convincing as he spoke, but his face became increasingly
pale for he was bleeding. Even so, August didn’t stop persuading Jeff. “Let go of
her, ok? You know in your heart that she is not the murderer, right?”
See that, Lucia burst into tears though she kept breathing deeply to hold back
her tears and emotions. “Don’t…” Lucia shook her head at August when she
noticed that he was still approaching them.
Disbelief registered on Jeff’s face when he saw that August was still trying to get
close to them, heedless of his own safety. Suddenly, he set his eyes on August’s
bleeding wound, which reminded him of the death of Mr. Makoto for an instant.
Mr. Makoto was stabbed to death bloodily….
August added with profound resignation, “Jeff, what’s the difference between you
and the killer if you kill her likewise?” It seemed that August’s words hit the nail
for Jeff’s eyes were filled with panic when he heard what August had said.
Then, with a sound clank, the dagger slipped out of Jeff’s hand with a jolt. And
Jeff was jolted into action by the sound as well and ran toward the door quickly.
“Bang!” Lucia got the shakes as the door was shut. She then propped herself up
on one elbow and pressed the bell on the wall in spite of her wound in the back.
August swiftly reached out his foot to kick the dagger under the sickbed while
pressing his wound.
“August, are you feeling well…?” Lucia was frightened for him when she caught a
glimpse of his bleeding wound.
She never thought that August would risk his life to save her by attracting Jeff’s
attention thus diverting his intention of hurting her…
He was using his own body to protect her!
Noticing the tears trickling down Lucia’s cheeks, August had to comfort her softly,
“I’m fine, it’s just a scratch, never mind.”
Lucia was upset about his careless words since she had witnessed how he was
nicked by Jeff and how nasty the cut was.
How could he call it a little cut?
Just then, the door was opened and a nurse came in.
“Nurse, he’s injured!” Lucia cried immediately.
Even the nurse stood aghast at the sight of August’s bloody wound. “How did you
get it?” She asked with a grim expression in her face.
It was apparently caused by a knife.
“Just by accident,” August replied simply.
The nurse then fell into silence knowingly. Due to the wound still oozing blood,
the nurse had to ask other nurses to transfer him to the dressing room to treat his
wound.
Lucia couldn’t accompany August of her wound in the back, so she couldn’t help
being worried about him when he was out of her sight.
After a while, the door of the ward was flung open again suddenly and there were
footsteps outside. Lucia’s nerves were on edge once.
Could it be that Jeff coming back again?
The hair on the back of her neck rose when she thought of that.
“President Admas…”
It did Lucia’s heart good to hear the voice of Zane.
Zane took a glance around the room to see if August was here before he spoke,
“Lucia, I almost caught him but when it comes to a corner, I lost sight of my
quarry.”
“I have to report to President Admas about it, where is he?”
“In the dressing room.” Lucia bared her teeth in pain as she answered.
