She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 410

The phone call didn't solve Helena's doubts, but only made her more confused. When Helena returned to the ward, Shawn had already left with their father, and Esmae was talking softly with Lucia, while Reynolds stood by the balcony and always looked at Lucia.

Helena sighed in the bottom of her heart. Arthur's side of the matter was still unclear, while Reynolds was deep in love with Lucia. The relationship among these people was too complicated.

"Helena, where did you go just now?" Esmae asked her daughter when she saw her return.

"Company call," Helena said casually, then looked at Theodore and asked, "Is Teddy awake? It's been eight hours."

"No. I just asked the doctor. It's normal. Teddy will probably wake up in the middle of the night." Lucia told Helena with a light smile.

It was the first smile that relaxed Lucia since learning that Theodore was ill.

Helena looked at her light smile and noticed her haggardness, and felt nothing but pain in her heart, so she asked her,

"Lucia, you've been here in hospital for over half a month and haven't been home. Do you want to go back and get some sleep? I'll just take care of it here."

In fact, Lucia can also rest here, just never restful. Theodore will occasionally be in pain and whispering. The corridor will have sounds of footsteps and people talking from time to time. Doctors and nurses will go the rounds of the wards, change medication and infusion, so Lucia had not slept well for more than half a month.

Helena's offer was tempting, but Lucia shook her head and said, "No, Teddy will wake up looking for me."

"Lucia, I also think you should get some rest. Helena, Reynolds and I will stay here. I'll call you as soon as Teddy wakes up. Besides the hotel is not far away from here. I'll have the driver on call on the first floor, okay?" Esmae also advised Lucia, before adding.

"You really look too haggard now. Go rest."

Lucia was still hesitating when Reynolds suddenly uttered, "Mom, I'll take Lucia back."

"You stay here." Esmae vetoed without even looking at him. Reynolds deflated instantly. His mother's word was a no-brainer.

Helena knew Esmae's intention, so she took Lucia's arm and said, "Lucia, go back to the hotel and get a good sleep. Wake up refreshed to meet Teddy, OK?"

After Theodore's surgery was successful, Lucia felt tired after relaxing. After listening to Esmae and Helena's persuasion, she finally nodded her head.

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest for a while. You must call me as soon as Teddy wakes up."

"Of course," Esmae nodded in agreement, got up and took Lucia's arm to lead her out of the ward. After being two or three meters from the door, she lowered her voice and said to Lucia,

"Lucia, go see Spencer. He saved Teddy's life after all."

Lucia's brows furrowed at the words. She glanced at Esmae and pursed her lips.

"Lucia ..." Esmae reminded her, "you should also go to see him for humanitarian reasons. Besides, you and he are about to get engaged. You two will always be together all day long. Getting used to each other early is best for the future."

Lucia resisted the urge to retort, thought for a moment and then nodded, "I know. I'll go check on him."
