She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 70

Arthur woke up early the next morning, and Lucia was no longer by his side.

He looked around and was caught by the low sound of talking coming from outside the balcony. He followed the sound and saw the balcony door closed and a blurred back reflected in the glass. It was Lucia.

Lucia's eyes met Arthur's as soon as she entered the door. She was visibly froze. And her face turned red rapidly at a visible speed.

Lucia was now so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself. In fact, she woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning. Knowing that she had lost control of her emotions, Lucia was embarrassed.

At this time, a nurse came over to send a temperature probe to check the temperature, found Lucia awake and mentioned Arthur's open wound last night. Lucia listened and felt guilty. When she heard the nurse said that Arthur was looking at her smiling the whole time, her heart was like being wrapped in a layer of honey. It was sweet, but also so thick that she can hardly breathe.

Lucia knew that everything she did to Arthur now will make her regret later, but ... one was a man who loved her dearly, and the other was like her own parent. She really can't choose.

"I took your temperature just now. It's normal. You can get an IV after the doctor comes to do his rounds and prescribes the medication later." Breaking the silence, Lucia tried to suppress her emotions and said to Arthur.

Arthur faintly responded, "Well, got it."

"I'm going to get breakfast." Lucia wanted to take the opportunity to leave to catch her breath, when Kyle suddenly appeared in the doorway, carrying two delicate food boxes in his hands.

Kyle dutifully brought the food boxes to the bedside table and said to Arthur, "Mr. Davies, this is the breakfast from the south gate."

The breakfast from the south gate was not Arthur's favorite, but Lucia's. Last night, before Arthur went to bed, he told Kyle to go buy breakfast early in the morning. Kyle said this on purpose so that Lucia could hear that.

As soon as Lucia heard this, she looked towards Arthur, saw both Arthur and Kyle staring at her, and quickly turned back. She lowered her head as her face continued to burn.

"Miss Webb, let's have breakfast." Kyle said to Lucia with a smile. Just as he finished his words, he noticed Arthur giving him a look that hinted him to go out. Kyle felt aggrieved because he thought he was an excellent helper!

But despite feeling aggrieved, he quickly withdrew and continued to leave space for the couple.

"Eat." Arthur didn't want to push Lucia now.

Lucia took a chair to sit next to Arthur and began to eat up. Occasionally there would be footsteps and voices outside the door, accompanied by the unique cold winter morning, which made them think it was peaceful time.

After a quiet breakfast, two doctors came over for rounds and talked to Lucia for advice and understanding of the condition.

After the doctors left, Lucia sighed helplessly and turned to Arthur and said,

"Don't be capricious, okay?"

Arthur did not answer.

This only made Lucia feel more guilty, so she quickly changed the subject, "The doctors said there are just some minor cracks on your left calf. You should recuperate well for half a month."

"Eh." Arthur still only replied so.

Lucia turned her head to the balcony, then brought back a basin of water. The towel was wrung out and wiped to Arthur's face with a swift speed. Arthur immediately hissed out.
