Chapter 209 She Met Irene Again

Taking a deep breath and adjusting her expression. Lucia gently pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Bill on the bed and Elisa beside her. She smiled brightly at them.’Dad. Mom!"

As soon as Elisa and Bill saw her, their expressions changed and they stopped talking about it.

Bill sat up cheerfully and asked. "Lucia, are you busy with work lately⁷"

Lucia replied with a smile. "Not busy."

She put the fruit in her hand on the bedside table, sat down beside the bed, and asked him how he was doing, "How is it? How about you? How is your mood adjusting?"

In a few days, it would be time for her father's surgery. The doctor had specially told him to ensure his peace of mind and emotional stability.

'I'm fine here. Don't worry."

Seeing a bit of blush on Bill s thin face. Lucia patted his hand relievedly nodded, and said, ’That's good. I'm relieved!"

After chatting with Bill for a while, a nurse came to check on his physical condition. Elisa took the opportunity and took Lucia out of the ward.

Seeing Elisa s mysterious expression, Lucia couldn't help but ask softly, "Mom. what's wrong?”

Elisa frowned and asked in a low voice, "I want to ask you. Where did the money for the surgery come from?'*

Two days ago. Dr. Long had given-them the surgery notice, and she knew that the surgery fee had been paid in full.

She had collected all the money from their family and put it in Lucia's bank account. Although the amount was not small, it was still a certain distance away from paying the surgery fee. How could she have obtained so much money in such a short time?

When asked by Elisa. Lucia naturally thought of the contract she had signed. She frowned slightly and was a little ashamed to say it It was enough for her to know this kind of thing alone. If Elisa and Bill found out. they would be angry.

Elisa saw Lucia's hesitation and her face darkened. She hurriedly asked. “Lucia, did you do something you shouldn't do?"

Lucia came to her sense, frowned, and said softly. "No, I asked August for help."

She took a deep breath and continued, ”1 borrowed the money from him first and I will pay it back slowly."

Hearing her say this. Elisa was relieved. "That's okay. August is still reliable at critical times. Okay, after your father's surgery, our family will pay it back together."

Seeing her mother dispel her doubts. Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The contract she had signed with August should not be known to a third person. For her parents, she thought she'd better keep it a secret for the time being.

After leaving the hospital, Lucia got on the subway and found a place to sit down.

When she took out her phone, she found a few unread messages. She clicked open it and saw that it was sent by Paul.

[Lucia, I'm sorry. I pushed too hard. Don't take what happened yesterday to heart.]

[Emotional matters should be taken slowly. It is my matter to like you. I will not put pressure on you and respect your choice.)

The last text was an interrogative sentence, [We are still friends, right?]

Looking at these texts, Lucia was in a complicated mood. Although she was hesitant yesterday. Paul was a very good choice.

But when she thought of that one-year contract, her heart sank again.

In the end, she texted him back, [Yes, we're still friends ]

For two days in a row, Lucia lived in a daze. It seemed that the contract had become an invisible mountain, pressing down on her, making her unable to be happy.

Fortunately, she didn't meet August in the past two days. Slowly, she was busy working, and the sadness gradually dissipated.

"Lucia, how about we go out to have lunch today? They just opened a Honges-style restaurant downstairs. I heard that it tastes good. There are discounts in the next few days!'

When it was noon, Emma jumped over and proposed to go out to eat.

Seeing that Emma's eyes lit up when she mentioned food, Lucia couldn't help smiling. She was very envious of Emma's good habit of forgetting all her troubles when she mentioned food.

She nodded and said softly, "Okay, let's go out to eat."

"Okay! Let me tell you, an intern has just arrived in the marketing department. It is said that he and the supervisor..."

Emma took Lucia's arm and excitedly talked about gossip from other departments.

Lucia listened, and her mood improved a lot without her knowing it.

After lunch at the Honges-style restaurant downstairs, the two went back to the company together. As soon as they walked down the steps, Emma suddenly patted her head next to her, "It's bad!"

Lucia turned her head quickly and said. "What's wrong⁷"

"Gail asked me to bring her lunch back, but I forgot!" Emma quickly let go of her hand and said, "Lucia, go back first, and I'll go back."

Seeing Emma's anxious look. Lucia nodded, "Then I'll go back and tell Gail."

'Okay, don't forget to tell her." Emma turned around and walked back quickly.

Lucia stepped forward and went up the steps. As soon as she reached the gate of the company, she heard a sharp female voice, "What a coincidence. As soon as I came to the company, I saw her. It’s really bad luck!"

Was it Irenes voice?

Lucia paused, looked back, and saw Irene walking over in high heels.

Standing next to her was Lisa.

Aware of Lucias gaze, Lisa dodged slightly. She turned to look at Irene, and said softly. "Irene, let's go."

Irene rolled her eyes at Lucia unabashedly, and asked Lisa in an exaggerated tone.

Lisa, do you think I had a grudge against her in my last life? How can I run into her when I come to the company occasionally? It's disgusting.*
