Chapter 552 True Love
Lucia had basically recovered from her burns on her back. Paul would still bring the kids to her every day, which made her hospitalized days less boring.
However, August hadn't come and didn't even appear in her life for the past week since his departure that night.
However, it seemed that August was getting busy. In the past week, he gradually became more active on TVs and in front of the public. He engaged in various social engagements and was under wide discussion.
Three days ago, he returned to Lion as its president, which arouse a great stir. Even Lion's employees were astonished.
The outsiders could only make baseless conjectures.
Everyone knew that Bishop led the entire group alone in August's two-month absence. He led shareholders to reform the group's rules and regulations and undertook projects in a conspicuous and resolute way. He indeed had regarded himself as the new leadership of the group.
No one had expected that August would return with shares that could give him absolute predominance in the company and, more importantly, with a lofty quality that he was born with.
There had been rumors of the Adams brothers' power struggles against each other. August's "death" and "resurrection" had proved the rumor.
Their dispute had become indisputable facts. On the day August returned to Lion, Bishop put on a great show of welcoming his brother. He greatly flattered August in front of the public.
However, out of everyone's expectation, August should have become a cripple! Though disabled, he looked no less august. than before and even showed more resolution and decisiveness in his eyes.
The Adams brothers seemed to have changed their position. But they both kept their stance. August's return made the public exclaim how fast things change.
Lucia read all these news about August from various news media, and, for lots of times, she wanted to call him but restrained herself at last.
Footsteps and sound of the door opening brought her back to reality. She looked up and saw Paul coming in with a bunch. of sunflowers.
He was beaming at her. He put the flowers on the bedside table and asked, "What do you think of them? You like them?" Paul had been with her everyday recently, showing meticulous and thoughtful care. He would even buy her new flowers. every other day!
He had fulfilled all Lucia could require of a perfect husband.
Lucia looked up and saw the sweat on Paul's forehead. She couldn't help chucking and wiped his sweat with a tissue. "Is it hot outside? You are even sweating..."
Paul held her hand smilingly. "It's sunny today. You wanna a walk outside?"
Lucia smiled and wanted to accept his invitation when an abrupt ringtone interrupted her. Paul took out his phone and stared at the screen.
It was a call from abroad. He furrowed his brows and answered the call.
"Hello? What is it?"
Lucia could hear a vague voice from the receiver but she couldn't hear it clearly. She could only tell that it was a man calling Paul.
Paul suddenly looked serious. Frowning, he cast a glance at Lucia and then looked away.
He walked to bedside and said coldly, "Don't allow him to approach Paula. Keep a close watch."
Hearing his words, Lucia had guessed what had happened.
