The next day, when the alarm dock rang, Lucia got up immediately, went to the supermarket to buy fresh fish, and prepared soup. This soup had been made for two or three days in a row, and now she was much more proficient.
The pot was simmering on a low fire. She turned around to do something else and put on a long embroidered dress. When she returned to the kitchen, the soup was almost finished.
With everything ready, she went straight to the hospital with the lunch box.
It was a very happy thing for her to be able to watch her father drink the fish soup she made with her own hands.
When she arrived at the hospital, she rushed to the ward excitedly, pushed open the door, and went in, "Dad, Mom, I..."
When she looked up and saw the people in the room, she was stunned. Bill was half seated on the bed with Elisa on one side and August on the other!
Shouldn't he be in the hospital? Why did he suddenly come to her father's ward?
When she thought of what Jeanne had said yesterday, she froze for a moment, "Why are you here?"
Hearing her unwelcome tone, August raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes slightly darkened.
Lucia had changed her attitude so quickly. She had said that she would make soup for him yesterday, and then she went to meet another man last night' Now her attitude towards him became so cold.
Bill noticed the awkwardness between them. He cleared his throat softly, and said to Lucia, "Lucia, don't be so rude. August was injured. Hp happens to be in lhis hospital. Ile just came to chat wit h me. "
Lucia frowned, puzzled. Why was he in this hospital?
She glanced at August, said nothing, and walked in. She put down rhe fish soup and said, "I've made soup. Dad, you can drink some later."
As soon as she said it, August stood up and said, "Mr. Mitchell, if nothing else, I won't bother you anymore."
Bill nodded and said softly, "Well, August, come and chat with me when you're free. It can relieve our boredom!"
When August was in college, he was Mr. Mitchell's favorite student. Later, even if he graduated and managed the company, they still had many things in common.
"Okay, 1'11 take time to come see you again." August smiled and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Bill immediately looked at Lucia and said, "Lucia, August has an injury on his leg. You go and see him out."
Lucia glanced at August, "Can't he walk by himself?"
When Bill heard I his, his face darkened.
Lucia took a deep breath, stepped forward reluctantly, and walked out after August.
After the door was closed, Elisa couldn't help but say, "Bill, what are you doing? Didn't Lucia say that they would never get back together?"
"How do you know that?" Bill snorted, "I feel like they still have a chance!"
With August as a benchmark, any other young men were dwarfed. He was naturally partial to August. As long as there was still a chance, he certainly hoped to marry his daughter to someone he trusted.
In the corridor, Lucia followed August, keeping a distance from him.
After passing through most of the corridor, she finally couldn't help it and asked, "Weren't you in the Central Hospital? Why did you suddenly come to the People's Hospital?"
August's eyes flashed slightly, but his face was as cold as ever, "This place is closer to the company."
Lucia heard his words and said nothing.
They got on the elevator and went to the floor of the WIP ward two floors above. The environment here was much better than the floors below. This floor was spacious, quiet, and well-equipped.
Lucia walked August to his ward, stood at the door, and said coldly, "I'll go back."
When August heard her words, he couldn't help frowning, and his face turned a little cold.
He turned around, quickly closed the door of the ward, and blocked the door.
August's movements were quick and smooth. Lucia was stunned for a second.
After she came to her sense, she looked at him vigilantly and said, "What...what are you doing?"
Capturing the panic in Lucia's eyes, August smiled slightly, but his eyes were still cold, "Well, when did you get so close to Paul?"
Lucia was stunned. After a moment, she realized what he meant. Immediately, j her face flushed. She took a step back, looked at him angrily, and said, "August, are you spying on me?"
Otherwise, how would he know that she met Paul?
"Well." August sneered with cold eyes, but he didn't answer her question directly.

He didn't bother to spy on her. She didn't even know about his phone call yesterday. It seemed that she slept soundly in Paul's car!
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Lucia became even angrier. She slowly clenched her fists, stared at him, and said, "Mr. Adams, I didn't expect
you to do such a shameless thing?!"
The irony in her tone aroused August's emotions instead. August looked at me with dark and mocking eyes and said, "What about you? Lucia, you signed the contract, but there is still no way for you to give up seeing other men, right?"
He stepped forward, forcing Lucia against the wall.
The next second, he suddenly raised his hand to squeeze Lucia's chin. He felt hatred, and he said coldly, "You're so in need of a man?"
The phone call last night and the transfer to another hospital in the early morning had exhausted his patience!
"What... what did you say?!"
Lucia was stunned. She hadn't expected him to say that. Her face was burning hot, and she felt ashamed instantly. How could he say that to her?! What did he think of her?!
"Let go!" She gritted her teeth and reached out to push him away.
But August was also in a fit of anger. He quickly grabbed her wrists and exerted a little force.
Lucia's face was flushed with anger and she struggled desperately. But unfortunately, men and women were born with a disparity in strength. She was no match for him!
She was so furious. When she saw August's arm in front of her, she opened her
mouth and bit it.
