’it’s nothing," Joshua smiled faintly at her, "Ms. Mitchell, I just want to remind you to know what you're doing."

"August and Jeanne were childhood sweethearts, and it is not easy tor someone else Io get in. Even if August is tender and considerate, the most important person in his heart is always Jeanne, and it will not change."

Hearing his words, Lucia was stunned.

Her mind went blank, she was dazed and didn't recover tor a while.

It was not until she heard Joshua call her name that she woke up, and her hands were cold.

Joshua was implying something. He was first referring to her involvement in August and Jeanne's relationship and then emphasizing the importance of Jeanne in August's heart. He was warning her to know her position.

August didn’t say these words himself, but Joshua was one of his very close friends. For her, it was a heavy blow.

She took a deep breath and wrung her hands nervously, "So Joshua..."

"What I mean is, it you're August's secretary, then just do what you need to do. Don't ask more questions, and don't get involved in his personal life. Ms. Mitchell, you're a smart girl and I think you understand what I mean "

Lucia took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and felt a little depressed.

In the end, she said, "I understand."

"I'm glad you understand. Keep your distance, and it'll be good tor both you and August."

With that, Joshua gave her a deep look and walked out ot the ward.

The room suddenly betaine quiet. Lucia looked at the lunch box in front of her and lost her appetite.

It seemed that everyone around August thought she shouldn't stay by his side Whether it was Jeanne, Eliot, or Christina, they didn't want her to get too close to August.

Overwhelmed with disappointment, Lucia sat on the bed thinking about if, and her mind was a mess.

Finally, when the nurse came to check on her injuries, she suddenly stopped the nurse and asked seriously, With my current physical condition, can I be discharged from the hospilal?"

The nurse was slightly surprised, "You can leave the hospital to m operate at home after applying for the medicine, but why do you want to leave the hospital so suddenly'"

Lucia smiled and didn't answer het question, "Well, please help me with I he discharge procedures."

She and August's ward were adjacent to each other and their contact would he inevitable. She thought she'd belter recuperate at home and save some money.

The nurse tried to pet stiade her to change her mind. Seeing het firm attitude, the nurse couldn’t say anything else. So she had to help Lucia with the discharge procedures.

Alter packing up her things, Lucia quietly let I the ward. When she saw August's ward next to hers, her heart sank, and she gritted her teeth and left.

On the other sideof the door, August was looking at the documents sent by Burton on the laptop and knew nothing about what happened Io her.

An afternoon passed quickly. After August dealt with the work at hand, he suddenly thought of Lucia in the ward next to his.

She was unexpectedly patient and she hadn't shown up since morning. He smiled, picked up his phone, and sent her a message.

Alter a long while, there was no reply from Lucia. He glanced at the time and found it was almost lime tor dinner. He directly called Lucia, but unexpectedly no one answered.

August felt a lite uneasy. Joshua happened to push the door open and came in with dinner.

August frowned, looked al Joshua, and said, "Call the nurse"

"What's the matter? Are you mil feeling Well?"

August looked serious, "Yon go and call the nurse.

Hearing his words, the nurse was a lit lie surprised, "The patient iti I he next ward? she,.."

Seeing that the nurse was hesitant, August telt more anxious and lieasked, "what's wrong with her?"

It’d been almost a whole day since he heard anything from Lucia.

The nurse was a little nervous and said softly, "She has all rally been discharged frpm the hospital."

Hearing the nurse s words, August turned gloomy. Aller being silent for a lew seconds, he stood up abruptly and stalled Io walkout

When the nurse saw this, she explained in panic, "She said she was going Inline to recuperate, and she was discharged in the afternoon..."

August paused, looked at the nurse with a cold gaze, and asked condescendingly, "So you let a patient out of the hospital with an unhealed wound?"

Seeing this, Joshua quickly stepped forward arid persuaded, "August, this has nothing to do with the nurse Lucia wanted to be discharged,.."
