Chapter 338 Surviving Lucia felt like she had a long dream in which she was in an endless sea without any signs of hope. Suddenly, a strong wind created big waves and she was instantly submerged... "No!" Lucia screamed, opening her eyes. All she could see was the white ceiling. She gasped like a beached fish
and her forehead and back were already wet with sweat. "Lucia!" said an anxious, familiar male voice. Then Paul appeared with a glint of excitement in his eyes. "Lucia,
you're awake!"
Lucia took a deep breath and regained consciousness. "Where am I?"
Paul answered immediately, "In the hospital. You've been kidnapped and frightened. You got a cold and had a
high fever all night. It only broke this morning." Lucia looked around and came to her senses. The whole room was white. It was indeed a ward. Lucia couldn't remember how she had been saved yesterday. Her throat felt dry as soon as she opened her
mouth. She frowned and Paul handed her a glass of warm water. "Drink some water." Lucia nodded and felt better after finishing it in one gulp. What happened to me?"
Paul frowned. "You've been kidnapped. I got a message from the kidnappers and went to the beach to look for
you yesterday. You were cold when I found you. I was so scared." "Kidnapped?" "Yeah, they asked for 200,000 dollars. I gave the money to them and they sent me your location, so I headed
there right away." Lucia took a deep breath and recalled the face of the driver yesterday. If she had really been kidnapped, how could the driver have known she was pregnant and told her to call August for help? The kidnappers must have wanted something other than money. All the details didn't add up. She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and asked Paul seriously, "Did you see anyone else on the beach yesterday?" Paul shook his head and answered, "No." For some reason, Lucia was a little disappointed. She had expected August to save her. To her surprise, it was Paul who ended up saving her from the kidnappers. She looked up at Paul and suddenly felt warm. "Thank you,
Paul."
Paul said to her seriously with bright eyes, "It was the least I could do. Lucia, I'd love to take care of you." He
stretched out his hand and held her hand gently. Feeling his warm hand, Lucia stiffened. Embarrassed, she withdrew her hand slowly and changed the subject. "My parents..." Paul gave her a gentle smile. "They don't know about it. Don't worry." Lucia breathed a sigh of relief. If Bill knew she had been kidnapped, it would definitely have an effect on his recovery. She might as well keep it from them for now. "Have the kidnappers been caught?" Paul shook his head and said with a straight face, "Not yet. It's up to you to decide if you want to call the
police,"
Lucia tensed up. Alter a moment, she forced a smile. "I want to get out of Austos City soon."
It was just too dangerous here. She had been in a car accident and kidnapped. The danger was all around her
even if it had nothing to do with Jeanne. She was afraid to puess how many people knew her secret and want
to hurt her. With this in mind. Lucia stroked her belly gently and said in a soft voice, "I just want me and the baby to stay
safe." Paul hesitated for a moment and finally nodded approvingly. "You're right. I'll have my assistant book a flight
this afternoon. You rest."
Lucia nodded obediently and breathed a sich of relief as Paul walked quickly out of the ward. She felt lucky to
