Chapter 117
Inside the President's Office.'®
Jeanne aggrievedly took August's hand, her eyes red, "August, I really don't want to leave you..." August patiently persuaded, "Listen, Jeanne, go back to the hospital and you need more rest now."'®
Jeanne looked at August and her nose twitched as she reached out to wrap her arms around his waist,'
"You must come to see me tomorrow."'® heard it's Greeves'®
birthday this Sunday. Can you take me with you?"'®
"No," August's face went somber, "Who told you that?"'®
Recently he deliberately instructed those who took care of Jeanne to keep their mouths shut and just'®
take good care of her, but she still knew about it.'
"My dad told'®
me..." On hearing this, August frowned slightly, and a few cold lights appeared under on the surface, he was struggling secretly in his heart. After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice, "No, Jeanne, you go back and get some rest."'
Seeing his attitude go cold, Jeanne was filled with regret. She shouldn't have mentioned her dad in front'
of him!'®
Biting her lips, Jeanne knew it was time to leave and finally let go After sending Jeanne out of the office and watching her leave led by the maid, August sighed in raised his hand and pressed the landline number, calling Burton.'
"Mr. Adams, what can I do for you?"'
August dropped his eyes, casually playing with a pen, and asked softly, "Martin has been to the hospital in the last few days?"'
Burton truthfully reported, "He's been to the hospital twice in the last two days but before the surgery, he'
hadn't been there, and only Mrs. Kelly went occasionally."'®
Snap! August pressed the pen under his hand at once, knitting his dashing brows.'
Martin, like a cunning old fox, never did anything useless. When Jeanne was seriously
ill and the Kelly'® family could not find the right kidney, Martin even gave up treating his daughter. Now after he had helped'®
Jeanne contact a doctor, find the right kidney, and do the surgery successfully, he showed up'®
How could he not be clear about his intentions?'®
August said coolly, "Transfer Jeanne to another hospital in a few days."'®
Hearing that, Burton said, "Okay'®
August took a deep breath and made up his mind that he would never let Jeanne become Martin's puppet, and that he would settle the score with Martin later Throughout the afternoon, Lucia was distracted, and her mind always came back to the scene of August and Jeanne together.'
Soon it was time to leave work. Lucia looked at her watch and saw that she still had half an hour before'
her appointment with August'
August should not be able to go to the appointment today? He must be with Jeanne at this time Lucia's heart was blocked and she took a deep breath. Seeing that the time was getting closer to the'
appointment, she gritted her teeth, grabbed her bag, and walked away.'
If she knew that Jeanne and he were together at this time and still deliberately went to the appointment,'
she would be too insensitive'
And as soon as she saw Jeanne's bright and clear eyes, she couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart. After'
all, according to the time, she was the third party'
S'
On the way home, she sat on the subway seat, checking her phone now and then'
It was past six o'clock, but she hadn't received a single text message or call from August. It seemed that'
he was really busy, so it was right that she didn't go looking for him.'
When she returned home in a daze, Lucia had little appetite, so she made some porridge and drank it'
hastily. She picked up the bowl, went to the kitchen sink, and washed while relaxing'®
Although it was true that she was free after moving out of home, she was really lonely living alone. At'®
this time, she missed Mrs. Mitchell's nagging'®
When Lucia turned her head and glanced at the clock on the wall, she found that it was already after'
seven o'clock. At this time, August shall be having dinner with Jeanne.'®
As the image emerged in her mind, Lucia gritted her teeth, and a trace of bitterness followed in her heart Why was she so sensitive about August and Jeanne being together? She couldn't even help but think of'
them again and again.'
Lucia couldn't understand, and when she was lost in thought, the small bowl slipped from her hands and'
fell directly into the sink. The sharp sound of "pop" instantly pulled her back from her world.'
Looking at the pieces in the sink, Lucia frowned and wanted to cry, because this was the cherry bowl she'
got from the store, and she didn't expect it to break like this!'®
