Chapter 475 Waiting For A Long Time
Lucia hesitated for a fraction of a second before responding "I promise you, for the sake of Paula."
This affan was clearly beyond her ability, so she was glad to see August's intervention since with August, this matter could be solved sooner and more easily
She must have to find the real culprit who hit Paula with a car as soon as possible Only in this way could she do justice to Paula!
"Good, August came close to Lucia and continued, "Now that you are going to cooperate with me, you have to promise to keep a secret of what has happened in the police station today'
Lucia was in a daze about his request.
In that case, she couldn't reveal anything about her meeting with Hallie Bruns even the details of Hallie's confession that she was just a scapegoat, let alone the audio cassette tape recording the conversation between Hallie Bruns and Mark Page Lucia was in a confused state. "Why?" She asked aloud with knitted brows
Hallie was expected to be key to their success Why shall they be discreet about that? Doesn't he want to vindicate Jeanne Kelly?
"Don't wake a sleeping wolf, August said with great seriousness
Lucia listened to his answer mutely
She didn't know what August would do next, but his voice of conviction restored her faith in him that he was ready and primed for action.
She clenched her fists to banish her doubts from her mind "Well, I'll promise you, But I hope you can act as swiftly as possible."
She couldn't wait around until the cows came home for Paula had to go abroad for treatment soon. Time was not on her side!
August looked into her eyes for a split second. "I'll arrange everything"
It was time to leave since they had reached an agreement Lucia drove away from the police station then
When she arrived at West Bridge, she saw the car of Paul Thomas He was back
As soon as she got in, she saw Janet and Timothy reading on the couch accompanied by Paul The two angels flew to her at the first sight of Lucia.
"Mom, where did you go?! Why we didn't see you in the morning?"
Timothy nuzzled up against Lucia lovely
Lucia smiled affectionately. "Sorry, darling, mom got something to deal with in the morning, I'm back now"
When she led them to the couch, she met Paul's laughing eyes, which brought a twinge of guilt to her. She couldn't help but think of her agreement with August in the police station with hesitation.
After all, he was Paula's brother, namely, the first one to know every detail of Paula's accident There was no reason to hide that from him.
However, August's words were a pointed reminder of her promise. Lucia had to restrain herself from pouring out the whole story by playing with the kids with studied casualness.
After a while, Timothy took Janet to play in the yard, which freed Lucia and gave her a break to have some water
"By the way, will Jeanne's family know that she was held by you? Lucia asked while she was drinking.
"No, they must don't know. And It would only do harm to her reputation if more and more people know that." Paul sat next to her "Trust me, I will be fine"
Lucia was nodding slightly when Paul continued, "Where did you this morning?"
His voice was as soft as usual as if it was merely a casual question.
Lucia cleared her throat and jerked out, "I...I went to the police station."
"I just want to anger for some information about the crash from Haille. But I didn't bargain that her lips were sealed so lightly
Paul inclined his head slightly. "Uh-hum, then you met August there?"
Lucia was startled by his remark, as well as surprised
How did he know she had met August? And how did he know August was at the police station"
