Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 229

The icy-cold dagger clattered down onto the ground.

Lucia was stunned. She then saw the door of a car at the side open to reveal a tall figure before she could react. Her eyes brightened despite herself with a sigh of relief when she spotted him as August. Though she was reluctant to admit that, she had actually been longing for his appearance in the past two hours and he did turn out to be the one who came to her rescue.

August strode forward with a stern look. He then stretched out his arm to drag her close to him and removed the cloth from her mouth. Lucia couldn't help coughing drily as her throat really ached. August then took out a Swiss Army Knife and swiftly cut off the cord to release her body.

"Keep Nolan under control and collect his weapon." After dictating that to his staff, August led Lucia, who was in a gaze, toward the car by holding her shoulder.

Lucia didn't really recover from the shock until she got on the car. Looking at the bottle of water August passed her, she turned to him swiftly, as though suddenly remembering something, and asked with great concern, "How's my father?" August's forehead knotted to a faint frown as he spoke blandly from between the previously compressed lips, "In the hospital. Mrs. Mitchell says he passed out." "What!" Lucia exclaimed, feeling stressed out again just minutes after she had got relieved. Her nose twitched as she bit her lip tightly. That was the scenario she had least anticipated and things just did develop that way. With tears in her eyes, Lucia grasped August's wrist desperately, "I'll go the hospital! Now!"

August's heart did a flip when he saw Lucia so flustered. He ordered Burton to head for the hospital at once. Burton turned the car round immediately and put his foot down, roaring toward the hospital.

Lucia appeared extremely agitated all the way, as the mixture of anxiety and helplessness kept her fidgeting. Having sensing her emotions, August reached for a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap for her soothingly, "No worries, Mr. Mitchell will be ok"

Lucia took the bottle mechanically. His words didn't help In fact, nothing could placate her at the moment.

The moment the car pulled over in front of the gate of the hospital, Lucia opened the door and rushed out. August followed her at once with a frown.

The ward was empty when they darted to it. An ominous feeling clenched Lucia's heart, even making it difficult for her to breathe. "Dad...'' She could only forbid herself from thinking too much while panting hard. She then rushed out of the ward to grasp the first nurse she ran into and asked desperately, "Excuse me but where's the patient in this ward?"

Being startled by her eagerness, the nurse answered at once, "He's gone through the emergency operation and is in ICU ward on the fifth floor.”

After thanking the nurse, Lucia rushed to the stairs and climbed up to the fifth floor. The moment she went out of the landing of the stairs, she caught the sight of Mrs. Mitchell from far away, who was sitting in the passage. Tears rolling down, she cried out in a choked voice, "Mom..."

Elisa Mitchell, who had been floundering helplessly there, turned round at the voice, just to find Lucia in amazement. She rose at once and walked toward Lucia. "My daughter!"

Lucia held her mother's hand, asking while weeping, "How's Dad?"

Elisa frowned at the question. She then cast a look at the ICU ward, "He's still lying there. The doctor said they still need to keep watching his situation, and wait till he wakes up at least.”
