Chapter 113
Since Lucia embarrassed Lisa in front of her colleagues in the desk area of the department, the way they'®
looked at Lucia had a subtle change.'®
"You know what, Lucia, since you told Lisa to shut up last time, no one in the department dares to gossip'
about you these days."'®
Lucia stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon and said absent-mindedly, "Really?" "Yes!" Emma nodded vigorously. "Now I know that our colleagues all bully the weak and fear the tough. If they dare to gossip about you again, just teach them a lesson!"'®
Hearing that, Lucia couldn't help but curve her lips.'®
The reason why she did that to Lisa last time was that she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart. It'
happened that Lisa deliberately made fun of her, so she blurted it out.'
Thinking about it now, she found it really cool.'
Emma took a sip of her juice and sighed, "It's the end of the month again. We have so many papers to'
summarize. It's really annoying."'®
Lucia looked up at the overcast sky outside the window. For some reason, her mood darkened as well.'
She was not afraid of the end of the month, but of the endless wait.'
She had promised August that she would help him take down Ted, but now she didn't even know when he'
was going to make his move or what his plan was.'
"Buzz."'®
The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Lucia took it out and saw that it was Mrs. Mitchell calling. She gestured to Emma, who was next to her, before getting up and walking to the window, where she answered the call. "Hello, Mom?"'

Mrs. Mitchell's panicked voice came from the other end. "Lucia! Where are you? Come to the hospital.'
Your dad is sick!"'
What?"'®
Lucia's head buzzed and she hurriedly asked, "What happened? What hospital is he in?" Mrs. Mitchell said anxiously, "He was giving a lecture this morning when he suddenly had a heart attack and collapsed in the classroom. Come over now! He is in the Second Central Hospital."'®
"I'm.. I'm on my way!"'®
In an instant, her heart was in her throat. She hung up the phone almost trembling and tears instantly'
came out of her eyes.'®
Looking at Emma who was puzzled, Lucia said in a quivering voice, "My dad was sick. Emma, please ask'®
for leave for me."'
Emma was also stunned. "Okay, I will... Just go!"'®
Regardless of anything else, Lucia ran towards the elevator in panic. Mr. Mitchell had was under control, but unexpectedly, the thing she feared most happened! The elevator reached the first floor. She rushed out as soon as the door opened.'
August just came back to the company after having lunch with the client he had met in the morning. At'®
the entrance, he saw Lucia rushing over in a great hurry from a distance.'
Her eyes were red. She was so panicked that she didn't stop even if she bumped into someone. Seeing'
that, he turned to ask Burton, who was next to him, "What's wrong with her?"'®
Burton looked puzzled. "I don't know."'®

and grabbed her arm. "Lucia!"'
Lucia turned around and saw that it was August. With little hesitation, she tried to shake his hand off. "Let go of me!" August refused to let go of her arm. "What are you doing in such a hurry?"'
Lucia was almost crying in anxiety. Her voice was trembling. "My dad was sick. He's in the hospital' now!"' take you there!"'®
Seeing August's car outside the company, Lucia said, "The Second Central Hospital!" At this moment, she would take anyone's car as long as she could get to the hospital quickly! Rushing to the hospital, Lucia dashed to the operating room and saw Mrs. Mitchell pacing anxiously'® outside the door.'®
"Mom!"'®
"Lucia, you're finally here!" When she saw Lucia, Mrs. Mitchell rushed up to hug her daughter. Her eyes'
were red.. Tears kept coming out of her eyes when Lucia heard her mother's slightly comfort both Mrs. Mitchell and herself. August came up. He looked at Mrs. Mitchell and nodded at her. "Hello, Mrs. Mitchell."'
