Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 549 – Ace in His Hold
August smiled as if he had expected her to say so. He then asked Zane to move all the food to the table on the hospital bed.
Lucia stuffed a dumpling entirely into her mouth and closed her eyes in enjoyment. Suddenly, she found the man staring at her.
She felt embarrassed, and, turning to him, babbled with all the food in her mouth. “What are you looking at…” August couldn’t help chuckling, and he said leisurely, “You’re really the same as before.”
Lucia had been like this in the past. In front of delicacies, she would turn into a glutton, who would gulp down all the dishes without caring about table manners. Her way of enjoying food could even stimulate other’s appetite.
Hearing his words, Lucia was stunned and soon realized what he meant. He should be referring to the Lucia five years ago.
The past lured all the memories and relations out of Lucia’s memories, which struck Lucia silent.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open. Zane, furrowing, walked in with a serious look. “President Adams, bad news.”
His words made the atmosphere oppressive. August immediately turned serious. “What is it?”
“We have completed routines with the shares. But there is one thing. Bishop Adams still holds some shares.” August frowned. “Why?”
“His share originally belonged to a former shareholder, Karl Shaw. After Karl had the accident… which you must be aware of…”
August nodded. He soon understood what had happened. When Bishop had signed the share transfer, all his properties had been under August’s name, which included both his original holding and those taken from August. However, Karl’s shares were left out.
In other word, after Karl’s death from accident, his properties weren’t inherited in time. Or, some people deliberately delayed the inheritance procedures.
Therefore, when Bishop signed, his then share was transferred.
However, Karl’s shares weren’t yet belonged to him legally, which meant that, after he officially owned Karl’s share, he was still a shareholder of Lion Group.
It turned out that Bishop kept an ace in his hold. Did it mean that he had already foreseen August’s intention?
His shrewdness could really give a profound fear. Without hearing a response from August, Zane asked, “What should we do?
Karl’s shares are no big fish, but they are either tinny enough to be ignored. We can’t take that share back now.”
August pressed his lips as he pondered. His lips had turned somewhat pale. After a while, he said idly, “Ignore it. His share can’t turn the tide.”
Zane said abruptly, “What if he adds Old Mr. Adams’s share to his pocket?”
His words hit the nail on the head.
August knitted his brows and thought to himself.
Speaking of Eliot, Eliot had gone missing for a while. August had asked his men
in Amecan to find his father, but there was no progress.
If that was the case, Eliot must have been hidden by someone. Otherwise, he
couldn’t possibly just vanish.
“Send more men. Find him.”
To the best of August’s knowledge, Bishop would attain whatever he wanted by
any means. He might even slay his father.
August didn’t dare to think about such possibility. He could only think a little
ahead and make as much precaution ast possible.
With new instructions, Zane hurriedly went to carry out August’s orders. Soon,
August and Lucia were left alone in the ward again.
Silence again shrouded the ward. Lucia had also heard the conversation. Though
she wasn’t as smart as August, she could still figure out what was going on
based on the conversation just now. Bishop was no longer the disabled little.
brother of August’s. He was now a foe that was not to be underestimated. He
was a formidable rival.
Lucia looked at the man’s gloomy expression. She said softly, “It’s late. Why don’t
you go home and have some rest.” His arm was wounded and bled a lot. Lucia
perceived that he must be tired and weak.
August refused to leave. “I’ll be worried.”
He would be worried if Lucia was left alone in the ward.
Hearing his words, Lucia felt moved. She said, “But… it is not appropriate.”
Her back was scalded, and she had to apply medicine in the evening. By then
she would have to take off her clothes, which was inappropriate for August, a
man, to stay. More than that, he was injured as well. There was only one bed in
the ward, which made it less appropriate as one of them couldn’t have good rest,
which they both badly needed. August frowned slightly and answered with a
question, “Why inappropriate?”
Suddenly, noise came from outside the ward door. They could hear vaguely a
nurse’s voice. “Yes. This is Ms. Mitchell’s ward…”
Then, soft knocks were heard along with low-pitched children’s chuckles.
Lucia trembled and felt inexplicably nervous. At this moment, the door of the
ward was pushed open. Timothy and Janet, hand in hand, trotted inside the
ward.
When they saw Lucia lying on the bed, the kids both exclaimed in joy. “Mommy!”
Then, they rushed towards the hospital bed without hesitation.
Tears welled up in Lucia’s eyes the moment she saw her kids. Overjoyed and
surprised, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said
incoherently, “You… why did you come?”
The little guys she thought about all the time suddenly appeared in front of her,
which gave her an indescribable joy. Timothy and Janet rushed to bedside and
held and rubbed her hand. They then began flooding Lucia with questions. “Mom,
where have you been all these days? Why didn’t you go home?”
“Are you sick, mom? Why are you in hospital?”
“Mom, we miss you so much. Can you go home with us today?”
Lucia’s heart was filled with maternal love as she heard the kids’ childish tone.
The kids were piling her with questions and she only felt that she couldn’t answer
fast enough.
At this moment, the kids suddenly found August sitting on a wheelchair.
Janet exclaimed in surprise, “Uncle Charming!”
Timothy also tilted his head in curiosity and said, “Mom, why is Uncle Charming
here?”
As Lucia was trying to come up with an answer to Timothy’s question, another
man came into the ward.
It was Paul, who held a dreamy blue cake with both his hands, coming in with a
gentle smile.
Lucia was stunned. She felt guiltier as he got closer to her. “Paul…”
“The kids and made the cake for you by ourselves. You like it?”
Paul placed the cake on the bedside table. Its blue surface was decorated with
the figures of their family of four drawn by creams. Chapeless and childishlooking the figures were, they exuded a child interest and sincerity.
Lucia couldn’t stop her tears from streaming out. “You… how do you know I a
here?”
“You didn’t think I was ignoring you because I didn’t call you or text you, did you?”
Paul, smiling, leaned towards Lucia and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks.
He said tenderly, “I’ve been caring about you, ever and forever.”
However, such a warm and sweet reunion was somewhat an eyesore to August.
