Jack embraced her. “Are you determined?”
“Yeah, let’s publicize our relationship two months later. I don’t want to live like this anymore. I want to tell the world you’re my husband, the one I love forever.”
Jack was silent, hugging her more tightly. He bent his head to kiss her neck and her lips gently.
Once it was publicized, there was a lot to deal with…
They cuddled for a while before Jack released his grip. “Anything else?”
Anna winked. All her thoughts were revealed in front of him.
“I’m thinking about Lucy and Bill recently. Bill is your assistant. You know him better. Do you think you like Lucy?”
“I’m afraid you have to ask him in person.”
Anna thought for a while. Jack was right. Love couldn’t be guessed. It must be expressed in person. However, Bill’s EQ was worrying.
“By the way, Bill asked for leave. He is unwell.”
“I want to tell Lucy.”
Probably it would create chances. Just let Lucy take care of Bill.
Naturally, Jack handed Anna his phone and went to the study for business affairs.
Anna replied with a smile. But when Jack was going to push the study open, she suddenly stopped him. “I asked Rick. He said my agent is in France. Who is my agent, to be frank?”
“Since he’s in France, you’ll know when you’re there.”
Anna thus forgot about the question and called Lucy.
Anna exaggerated Bill’s condition, when she told Lucy.
When Lucy heard the news, she couldn’t wait to drive to his apartment, speeding up all the way. In ten or so minutes, she stood in front of his home in a sweat.
After knocking on the door for a while, Bill opened it weakly. “Why are you here?”
“Have you taken pills? What did the doctor say? Do you need me to take you to the hospital again?”
Bill was in a daze because of the fever. He wanted to continue sleeping and couldn’t hear what she said clearly.
Lucy glared at him hopelessly. She hurried to find out the thermometer from the medicine kit. He caught a fever of almost 40 degrees!
“Let me take you to the hospital! If not, you’ll become an idiot!”
“I don’t want to go…”
“No way!”
“Alright, I don’t want to go there by car. I’m carsick. I want to go there on foot…”
Lucy sighed. “Alright, I’ll help you, as long as you go there.”
Lucy took out the thickest cold-proof coat and dressed Bill up with a scarf, a mask, and then a hat. He was in a sweat. She should prevent him from the wind.
She cajoled Bill, “Let’s go downstairs and walk for a while. Then I drive you, which is faster. If you feel sick, I’ll stop any time, okay?”
Lucy was like talking with a child.
Bill was in a daze and held her arm tightly and compliantly. “Okay…”
Lucy supported Bill, who was delirious, and moved downstairs step by step. Her heart was aching for him, when she saw his look.
Luckily, there was a hospital not far from his home. Watching Bill was pushed into the emergency room, Lucy was finally relieved.
She didn’t dare to walk away, but stayed at the ward for five hours.
