Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 273

This night, some people were showered with love while some people couldn't fall asleep all night.

August and Lucia were placed in the bedroom and guest room respectively. Due to the wounds on their bodies, they had to lie on their stomach in bed. After their wounds were treated by the family doctor, they could only maintain this position to spend the hardest night.

In the first half of the night, Lucia could hardly sleep because of the pain in her body, and she endured the pain all the time. In the second half of the night, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.

Another person who couldn't fall asleep like her was Jeanne. She was so overwhelmed with worry that she couldnt fall asleep after tossing and turning for fear that August would

The next morning, Jeanne woke up early. She immediately got up to wash, ordered her men to prepare a car, and headed to the Adams' old house.

Before arriving at the old house, she deliberately went to the nearby shopping mall to buy some expensive gifts and then rushed over.

After she rang the doorbell, a maid came over soon. After the maid heard that it was Jeanne, she reported to the master and opened the door.

As soon as Jeanne entered the door, the first person she saw was Christina, who was sitting at the dining table drinking coffee. The breakfast had just been set on the table, and it seemed that she hadn't touched it.

When Christina heard her voice, she raised her eyes and glanced at Jeanne. She stood up and greeted Jeanne with a smile, "Jeanne, long time no see. You've become even more beautiful!"

Jeanne smiled and said, "Aunt Christina, how can I be as beautiful as you? I haven't seen you for a few years, but you look younger and your skin is still so good. How have you taken care of yourself?! I'm so envious!"

Hearing Jeanne's words, Christina couldn't help smiling. She immediately asked Jeanne to sit next to her and ordered the maid to serve coffee.

"I haven't seen you for years, and I miss you very much too.

I'm so glad to see you back this time. Oh, how is your father

now?"

Christina and Martin were old classmates. They had known each other for many years. The Adams family and the Kelly family had been in frequent contact since Christina married into the Adams family. Therefore, Jeanne and August had known each other for many years and had a close relationship.

It was just that the development of the Adams family had gotten better and better, but the Kelly family was not as good as before. In addition, Eliot had taken Christina abroad, and the relationship between the two families was not as close as before.

Now that Eliot and Christina were back, the Kelly family somehow felt dwarfed, which was why Jeanne and Martin had been trying to flatter the Adams family for fear that she wouldn't be able to marry into the Adams family.

"My dad is in good health." Jeanne responded casually, glanced across the empty hall, and couldn't help asking, "Aunt Christina, why are Uncle Eliot and August?"

After Jeanne mentioned August, Christina's face changed slightly. She moved her lips, but she hesitated. In the end, she forced a smile and said a little embarrassedly, "Jeanne, you don't know? August was punished last night."

"Huh?" Jeanne stood up abruptly and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Christina pretended to be sad. She sighed and said, "He was punished by his father because of something in the company. He was still injured, and he probably couldn't get out of bed soon."

When Jeanne heard this, her eyes turned red and she said,

"Where is August? I'm going to see him!" /

Christina quickly patted her hand comfortingly and said in a low voice, "He's in the bedroom on the second floor. I'll ask someone to take you upstairs to see him."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Christina." Jeanne was sobbing and looked pitiful as if she had just learned the news. She was led by the maid to the door of the bedroom on the second floor, and she carefully pushed the door open and walked in.

August was lying on the bed with his upper body naked. The back of his broad back was completely covered with gauze. It could be seen how big the wound on his back was.

Jeanne's face changed with tears welling in her eyes. She stepped forward and trembled slightly, "August, are you... alright?"

August moved slightly on the bed when he heard her voice.

He turned his head sideways, looking a little tired, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"

"I..." Jeanne stepped forward and her eyes were red, "I thought Uncle Eliot and Aunt Christina were back, so I came over to have a look. But Aunt Christina said that you were punished. August, it must hurt, right?"

She sat down beside the bed and looked at August who could barely move, and tears were streaming down her face.

She had not expected that August would suffer such a severe punishment. It was clear that the person who should have been punished was Lucia!

"Okay, stop crying." Seeing her crying non-stop, August

somehow felt a little irritable. He had barely slept last night. Light blue stubble had appeared on his chin, and he looked tired.

After a sleepless night, he didn't want to see others crying in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes.

"August, I feel sorry for you..." Jeanne stretched out her hand and took one of his, "If I had known that you were going to be punished, I would have stayed by your side. Seeing these injuries on your body, I wish I could have been punished for you..."

Jeanne couldn't help crying. August frowned, feeling a little irritable.

"How can Uncle Eliot be so cruel? It must be very painful..."

Just when she was crying, he frowned and said, "Jeanne,

stop it!"

The sudden increase in his volume startled Jeanne. She looked at August in surprise and whispered, "August..."

August took a deep breath and said coldly, "Jeanne, I want to have a rest. Can you leave?"

Jeanne was a little frightened, and nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, you have a good rest, and I'll come to see you another day."

With that, she stood up hesitantly and slowly walked out of the room.

The moment the door closed, August secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what was wrong with him. After the punishment last night, it seemed he had lost his patience. He felt so irritable when he heard Jeanne crying
