Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 64 – Lucia bit her lip and said lightly, “He just came to see me and left because he
had some business to take care of.”
She didn’t want to tell her parents the truth of the matter.
They would be worried about her.
Besides, Mr. Mitchell had a heart condition.
If he learned of the truth, he would definitely get irritated, so she might as well
hide it from them.
Mrs. Mitchell didn’t ask any more questions when she heard Lucia say that.
She sat down, said something with concern, and then peeled an apple and
poured hot water for Lucia.
When it was mealtime, Mr.and Mrs.Mitchell still had no intention to leave.
Lucia said softly, “Mom and Dad, why don’t you go home now? It’s mealtime
soon.”
Mrs. Mitchell frowned and wanted to say she would stay with Lucia, but
Mr. Mitchell reached out to pull her and said, “Let’s go.
Lucia needs to have a rest.”
Only then did Mrs.Mitchell get up, Lucia clenched her hands slowly under the
quilt.
She smiled at them and pretended to be calm as she said, “Mom and Dad,
don’t worry.Turner is here to take care of me.I will be fine.”
Mrs.Mitchell said lovingly, “Get some rest.I’ll come back to see you with
chicken soup.”
Lucia nodded and watched as they left.
The moment the door closed, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
When she saw Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell just now, she felt so much more upset
that tears came to her eyes.
If they hadn’t left, she would have cried out.
Now, only she knew the grievances she had gone through.
After being taken care of by Turner for a few days, Lucia was finally able to
get out of bed.
There were still a lot of injuries all over her body, but luckily, she didn’t have
any broken bones, so she could still move around.
However, August hadn’t come to see her in the past few days and her
resentment towards him was slowly increasing.
“Turner, I’ll just go out for a walk. You can stay here.”
Turner was still worried when she heard Lucia say that, but seeing how
determined Lucia was, she couldn’t say anything else.
Out of the ward, Lucia took a deep breath.
She had been spending her days in the ward and hadn’t seen the sun outside
for a long time.
When she got to the elevator, Lucia saw the slogan next to it and realized
that it was Essence Hospital.
It was the same hospital where she had inadvertently stumbled upon
August’s secret and where Jeanne was staying.
When she got into the elevator, Lucia bit her lip and pressed the button to go
up, with some unknown feelings at the bottom of her heart.
She would like to see what Jeanne was like and why August would put so
much attention and effort into protecting and caring for that woman.
He would rather give up his child to save Jeanne.
Out of the elevator, Lucia walked forward following the way in her memory.
It didn’t take long for her to see Burton standing outside a ward.
Lucia’s heart skipped a beat.
Was August there? She bit her lip and walked forward with clenched fists.
Burton looked a little serious when he noticed her.
“Madam, what are you…”
Lucia limped forward and pretended to be calm as she said after a deep
breath, “I’m just here to take a look.Is that okay?”
Burton looked a little embarrassed.
“Madam…”
Lucia wrinkled her brow slightly.
“August is in there?”
Burton answered truthfully, “Yes.”
Lucia’s heart sank when she heard that.
Sure enough, Jeanne was the more important to him.
Lucia was in the same hospital as Jeanne, and he had only visited Lucia
once when she woke up and spent the rest of the time here with Jeanne.
It was clear to Lucia whom he cared about more.
“I’ll just have a look from outside. I’m not going in “Lucia bit her lip and her
tone was firm.
Burton looked hesitant Lucia could tell what he was thinking.
She looked down at her bruised body and said, “Do you think can do
anything to them like this now?”
Burton had nothing to say He paused for a few seconds and then slowly
moved out of the way Lucia slowly walked to the door and raised her head to
look inside through the small square window on the door.
On the couch next to the large window, August was flipping through a book
on his lap with his head slightly bowed, and a slender, pale woman was
nestled against the man’s chest as they read the book together.
The sun shone in, enveloping them with a layer of soft light.
They were like a divine couple, matching and harmonious.
Suddenly, the woman raised her head and said something to August.
The man’s lips curved and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
That smile wrenched at Lucia’s heart as she was caught off guard.
In her memory, August had never been so gentle with her.
Sure enough, she could tell that he didn’t love her from the way he looked at
her.
But why did he have to marry her? Was it just for her kidney that matched
Jeanne’s? Lucia felt a pang of suffocation.
She gritted her teeth, looked away, and turned to leave.
After two steps, she suddenly thought of something and turned to Burton,
asking quietly.
“They have been in love before he met me, right?”, A hint of hesitation
flickered in Burton’s eyes.
He paused and said quietly.
“I’m sorry, Madam, but I can’t tell you.”
Seeing his micro-expression, Lucia curled her lips into a smile.She had
already had an answer in her mind.
So, there wasn’t another woman between her and August, because she was
the other woman between him and Jeanne.
And she had been holding on to her bottom line and principles.
It was really ridiculous when she thought about it now.
Inside the VIP ward, August closed the book and coaxed Jeanne into resting
for a while.
When she fell asleep, he walked out of the ward.
Seeing him out, Burton looked a little hesitant.
“Mr.Adams…”
The look in August’s eyes showed a bit of fatigue.
“What?”
“Mrs. Adams came over just now…”
Burton told him exactly what had happened half an hour ago.
August frowned.
Something flickered in his deep eyes and he said in a light voice, “I’ll go and
see her.”
With that, he stepped away.
August stopped at the door of Lucia’s ward and looked at the woman lying
still on the bed, with mixed feelings.
“Hello, Sir.”
Turner approached from the side.
August nodded his head.
Turner said hesitantly, “Why don’t you come in this time?”
In the past few days, August had come several times, but he just took a look
outside the door and left without going inside.
August hesitated for a moment.
Finally, he reached out his hand to open the door and slowly walked in.
Hearing the sound, Lucia mechanically turned around and the look in her
eyes became sullen when she saw him.
Now, she didn’t want to see him at all.
August moved his lips and asked softly, “How are you feeling these days?”
Lucia lightly responded, “Pretty good.”
August paused and then said, “I heard that your parents came several
times.Did they…”
Lucia said in a cold voice, “I didn’t tell them the truth and explained it to you,
so don’t worry.”
August paused and found himself speechless.
After a moment, he took a half step forward and moved closer.
“Just tell me if you want anything.”
He would try to make up for what he owed her.
Hearing that, Lucia stiffened. She turned suddenly to look at August seriously.
“You’ll do whatever I want?”
August didn’t hesitate.
“Yes.”
“I want a divorce.”
