Chapter 542 A Mountain Can't Accommodate Two Tigers

With saying that, he raised his eyes to look at Burton, look cold.

Immediately understanding, Burton stepped forward and grabbed Jeanne's wrist from behind her, controlling the fruit knife in her hand toward her face.

Before Jeanne could react, she felt a sudden stinging pain in her face. She screamed out in panic and scrunched her head desperately to the side as she paled in fear.

"No! No!"

Jeanne violently broke away from Burton and ran to the side in a panic, but she slipped under her feet and fell to the ground directly.

Then, unable to care about anything else, she hurriedly covered her face with both hands and shook her head in horror,

"Don't touch my face! Don't!"

She put down the hand covering her face again. Seeing the blood in the palm of her hand, she suddenly turned pale with fear. She pulled out her phone in a panic and used the reflection of the phone screen to look at her cheek only to see that her right face was gently cut by the edge of the fruit knife, with a small and not deep wound, slightly oozing blood. She sucked in a cool breath, and suddenly a feeling of annoyance arose in her heart. She looked up and angrily looked aside at Burton, gritting her teeth, "Are you crazy! How dare you do this to me!"

Just as she finished speaking, she felt a chilling cold coming from the side. She subconsciously turned her head to look over and was confronted with August's cold face.

Seeing that the man's eyes rolled with anger, and a few obvious disgust and impatience, Jeanne immediately panicked and collected the expression on her face.

Just then, August's voice rang out, "Didn't you want to die? Didn't you want to dig your heart out to prove yourself? You can't stand such a small wound?"

August did not show any mercy and broke her lie directly. At once, Jeanne's face was blue and then red, showing her embarrassment.

She knew that no matter how much she argued or explained, August would not believe her anymore.

She gritted her teeth and stood up without saying anything. In order to keep her last dignity, she spoke, "August, it is fine if you don't believe me, but I still stick to what I just said. Besides, I will pay for Lucia's medical expenses." After saying that, without waiting for August to say anything else, she had already taken a step and quickly walked towards the outside.

August clenched his teeth, and the anger blocked his heart, making him feel suffocated.

Not long after, the ambulance siren suddenly came from outside, followed by a few nurse-like people who came down to ask about the basic situation. After looking at the wound, they immediately transferred Lucia to the ambulance and went directly to the central hospital.

Burton drove August and Olivia to the hospital as well. When they arrived, they were stopped outside by the doctor. Olivia paced back and forth worriedly, muttering constantly in her mouth.

After more than half an hour, August looked at Olivia, who was restless, and felt some inexplicable heartache in his heart,

"Grandma, don't worry, and she will be fine."

With that, he reached out and gently held Olivia's hand.

But Olivia didn't appreciate him at all. She threw away his hand and said angrily, "If it wasn't for you, this wouldn't have happened today! Do you know that one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and one room can't accommodate two wives? It's strange that nothing happened when you let them stay together like this!"

At that, August felt a surge of guilt in his heart.

Originally, he did not intend to let Jeanne in, but later she cried and fussed, so he let her in with a tender heart. It turned out that his tolerance and indulgence for Jeanne were the root cause of her becoming more aggressive!

Jeanne was much more ruthless than he had known. Once upon a time, he had heard of the things she did, but all that didn't touch his bottom line, but then, she did many things that shocked him, and even today she did such a sinister act in front of him, which was absolutely unforgivable!

Taking a deep breath, August looked at Olivia and seriously assured her, "Grandma, what happened today was indeed my fault. From now on, I will definitely not let a similar accident happen again."

Still unpleasant, Olivia looked at him coldly and did not say anything.

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened and a doctor came out from inside.

Seeing this, Olivia immediately stood up and walked toward him, "Doctor, how is her condition?"

The doctor shook his head and said with some hesitation, "Her situation is not very optimistic. She has a large burn on her back, and although we have treated it, it will be a very painful experience for the patient herself."

Olivia shuddered, "W-what do you mean?"

The doctor shook his head, sighed, and lowered his voice, "The injured person is a young girl with delicate skin. It is not fun to be burned on the back. And not to mention whether scars will remain in the future, just in this healing period of the recuperation phase, she can't withstand the pain of this wound which will be repeatedly inflamed and purulent. Hearing the doctor say so, Olivia became more worried. She paused for a few seconds, and then tears were in her eyes,

"What... should Lucia do in the future?"

Seeing Olivia like this, August didn't feel good inside either. He took a deep breath and advised softly, "Grandma, let's

take a look at her first and she will come out immediately."

It wasn't long before the nurse wheeled Lucia out of the emergency room. She was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed. and her brow furrowed, looking very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, August couldn't help but feel heartbroken for her.
