Chapter 551 Never Spare Him
Lucia had to apply medicine to her burns every day, which meant that she couldn't be discharged.
They kids played with their mother for a long time. They didn't know that Lucia had to stay in the hospital until they were to leave. Both of them were so disappointed and upset when they knew that Lucia won't go home with them. Timothy seemed to be sleepy. His little eyes were almost closed. However, in his half slumber, he was still unwilling to let Lucia's hand go.
Lucia felt distressed. She also wanted to hold her babies in her arms and coax them to sleep. However, her physical condition made her wish impossible.
Paul, at last, persuaded the kids, "Well, why don't we go home tonight? I'll bring you to mom tomorrow. Deal?"
Lucia echoed, "Yes. You guys go back tonight and come tomorrow. I won't run away."
The kids looked up at Lucia in unison. They asked seriously, "Really?"
Lucia nodded and said firmly, "Of course."
Lucia's promise and their own sleepiness made the kids willing to leave.
Paul summoned the chauffeur and, after sending the children on the car, he returned to the ward.
Lucia was sitting on the bed in a daze as Timothy and Janet's absence made the room somewhat lonely.
Hearing the door being opened, Lucia looked up and found Paul come back. She smiled. "I thought you had left."
Paul strode to bedside and held her in his arms. He, as if knowing that she had burns on her back, carefully avoided the burns and stroke her hair. "I couldn't bear to leave you."
The man's honeyed words stunned Lucia. Before she knew it, she had blushed.
Paul looked down at her smilingly. "You thought I abandoned you, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Lucia had a lump in her throat. She wanted to cry as she felt so guilty towards Paul.
She knew what she did was hurtful. If she were a man, she would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable to see her woman going to another man without hesitation.
Paul had been generous.
"Sorry. I was being too willful." Lucia took a deep breath and apologized, "Perhaps it was because of me that an innocent person was involved. I just wanted to make things straight. That was why I..."
Lucia suddenly felt that she couldn't continue. Paul wiped her tears and said softly, "I can understand."
Tears were streaming down Lucia's cheeks. She couldn't help feeling an implacable guilt towards Mr. Makoto's death for she thought that she might have caused it.
Paul comforted her gently. He sat on the bed and asked softly, "If you want to say something, say it. Don't keep it in your heart. Just tell me and let it out."
Lucia felt so warm. She sniffed, restraining the weepy feelings, and said to Paul seriously, "I might have killed someone."
Paul showed shock in his eyes. He asked, "Who is it?"
"A man I've only met once. But he is such a kind person that..."
Lucia told Paul truthfully what happened in Evergreen Mountain. When she mentioned that Bishop had suddenly appeared in Evergreen Meditation Yard, a strange light flashed through Paul's eyes.
