Chapter 564 You Did This Deliberately
Unexpectedly, just as she let go of Garnett, Garnett suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked up at her in horror. His eyes welled up with tears instantly, and he said pitifully, "I'm scared..."
Instantly, Lucia's heart was melt, and she could no longer say other words of refusal.
August's voice came, "Put him to sleep before you go."
Lucia bit her lower lip and took a deep breath. She looked down at Garnett and said softly. "Okay, let's go, I'll take you back to your room to sleep."
Garnett then nodded with tears still in both eyes. He looked so pitiful. Watching the woman pull the little guy into the room, August smiled.
"Hey! Mr. Adams, you always bring people to the house. Do you think my place is a hotel?" Suddenly, Joshua's teasing voice came. August stopped smiling and looked at him. He saw Joshua leaning against the wall and looking at him, with a deep smile on his face.
August glanced at him coldly, unwilling to say more. He drove his wheelchair directly to leave.
But Joshua strode toward him and said "Hey, hey! August, am I being ignored? Why don't you look at me!"
August coolly spoke, "I don't have time for you."
Joshua laughed and relentlessly went after him, asking. "Hey August, what's the deal with Lucia? Is she going to stay here today?" "What does it have to do with you?"
"It's nothing to do with me." Joshua laughed and said, "But it's got something to do with you!" He tapped August on the shoulder, then bent down close to him and said, "I know all about your thoughts. How about this? Let me help you this time?"
August narrowed his eyes. He suddenly looked at him warily and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Joshua didn't like Lucia before and had even used tactics against her on a few occasions. Therefore, August was not at ease when Joshua said that. This was Joshua's home, and his people were everywhere. It he wanted to do something to Lucia, it was easy and always in his favor.
"Why are you so nervous?" Seeing August's expression, Joshua wanted to laugh. He patted August's shoulder and said in a serious tone suddenly, "Don't worry August. I know you like her sincerely. How dare I hurt her now?"
He went around to the front of the wheelchair and said in a serious manner, "As long as you like her, I will help you." After a pause, he glanced at the closed door of the room over there and suddenly whispered, "Don't you want her to stay here overnight? I have a way........." It was more than half an hour after Garnett had been put to sleep. Lucia felt sore. With her injuries, she was exhausted and didn't want to move. She looked at the time, took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked out, intending to leave and hurry back to West Bridge. But when she got downstairs, she found that the door was closed. It was locked from the inside and could not be pushed open. She turned around and looked around. There was not a single maid. It was already midnight, and the maids were all resting at this time of night.
Lucia looked at the lock on the door and tried a few more times, but it didn't work.
Suddenly, a male voice came from the corridor on the first floor, "It's locked. You can't open it by hand."
August raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at her injured leg and said softly, "It's late at night. How are you going to get back?" Lucia said without even thinking, "I'll take a taxi!"
August smiled slightly and said in a calm tone, "A young woman takes a taxi alone late at night, and her leg is injured. If there is an accident, it has nothing to do with me.
When she heard his words, her body went cold and stiff. That was true. Recently, there was always social news about women being killed in taxis, which was frightening. She was scared to go back alone.
August casually continued, "If you still want to go back, I'm going to ask for the key."
Lucia glanced at him coldly, "Forget it. I'll just stay here for the night."
After saying that, she lifted her foot and stepped forward, heading directly to the bedroom on the second floor where she had stayed before. When she pushed the door open and walked in, the fragrance of flowers greeted her. The bedside lamp was on and there was a tray with a bowl of shrimp and grits still steaming, and a cold pack next to it.
Lucia's heart was slightly tightened. Looking at these things, she couldn't say anything for a while. She thought, 'Is this specially prepared for her?"
Shrimp and grits was her favorite porridge and the cold pack was also what she needed. She suffered a lot today as she walked all the time, her leg got injured and her ankle was swollen. At this time, it was very comfortable to have a bowl of porridge, apply a cold pack to the ankle, and then have a good sleep.
Suddenly, August's face flashed in her mind. In this house, he was the only person who could do this for her.
