Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 No Worries

Besides Lucia, another person learned about her pregnancy. With a crash, a jewelry box on the table was

smashed into the wall. The box shattered, and the jewelry inside was scattered around.

Clutching her phone, Jeanne listened to Mark's report and saw red. She asked hysterically, "Where did she go

after she came out of the hospital? Did she go to see August?" Mark replied solemnly. "No, slie went back to her apartment."

Her panic didn't diminish at all. On the contrary, she got more anxious. Jeanne couldn't imagine how August

and his family were going to handle it if Lucia went to tell him about her pregnancy. As far as she knew, Lucia was close to August's grandmother. In contrast, the old lady had never been nice to

her. She was worried that the Adams family would turn their backs on her if Lucia leveraged her child as a

chip. Overcome with anxiety, she ground her teeth and lowered her voice. "Mark, you gotta help me this time. I can't

let her give birth to that child. Can you help me?" It wasn't a big issue for Mark. All that she needed was to get his hielp. To her surprise, the man on the other end

of the phone faltered, "Miss, this kind of thing..." "What? You're reluctant?" Jeanne detected the liesitation in his voice and pulled a long face, "I'll turn to

someone else then."

Mark gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "Since this is what you want, I'll do it."

"Great!" Jeanne sounded satisfied, "When you complete the task, there will be a generous reward." Mark gave a bitter smile. He couldn't reject Jeanne's request whatsoever. He was willing to do anything to

make her happy. After going through a mental struggle all night, Lucia accepted her pregnancy the next day, but it weighed on

her mind and made her breathless. If she kept the child, August might learn about it. She was not sure what he

would do to her child and her. She was still upset about what happened last time. It made her even more determined to keep her pregnancy

from him. She had to hide it from the beginning and made sure he would never know. At noon, she thought

about these things on the balcony when her phone suddenly vibrated. It was Elisa calling. "Lucia, your dad is clamoring to be discharged from the hospital. He claims that he's fine, and my persuasion

doesn't work." "What?" Lucia froze and quickly gathered herself, "My dad wants to leave the hospital?" Elisa let out a deep breath. "Yeah, I couldn't dissuade him. I've called Paul to go and pick him up." Lucia took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to the hospital and see what's going on." She thien hung up the phone and rushed outside. Slie was aware of Bill's situation. Although the surgery was

successful, his condition was unstable. It was necessary for him to recuperate in the hospital. Getting

discharged at such a moment would put him in a dangerous place. If something happened, the consequences

would be unimaginable.

She hurried to the hospital. In the corridor of the inpatient department, she heard a noise and saw nurses standing there. Her heart tightened, and she quickened her pace. She rushed to the door and saw several people

inside the ward. The doctor, nurses. Paul, and Elisa were all there. They seemed to be advising Bill

Pulling a long lace, Bill said in a firm tone, "The hospitalization expenses are too much. I can be under

observation at home." The doctor advised him, "Sir, it's wrong to think that way. We're not aiming for money. Hospital observation

is the insurance of your safety. If there is an emergency, we can come to your rescue at the earliest time

possible." Unconvinced, Bill shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, Lucia entered the ward. "Excuse me,

doctor, we will stay. Sorry for the trouble, you can go ahead with your work." She said to the doctor and nurses. When Bill heard that, his face fell. "Lucia, you..." She went over and soothed him, "Dad, just take my advice. We'll go home when your condition is stable. Only

then can my mother and I rest our minds at ease."

Aware of his mistake, Bill said nothing. Since he was hospitalized, Lucia had been shouldering all the medical

fees. He was distressed and wanted to go home as soon as he felt better. Lucia continued to advise him, "Is that okay, dad? Take good care of yourself and leave the hospital sooner." In the end, Bill waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll listen to the doctor."

Everyone was relieved to hear that. Paul went to the side and put the things packed by Bill back in their original

places. The doctors and nurses sensibly left. When everything was done, Lucia put Bill to bed and then exited
