Chapter 583 The Line She Drew

Jeff snorted when hearing so. There was a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes. He said harshly in a hoarse voice, "If you really mean to help me, you should kill Bishop for me." Lucia didn't know how to reply to him all of a sudden, since she hadn't expected Jeff would make such a request. She would grant him anything she could, except illegal things like murder and arson. Shaking her head, Lucia said in a low voice, "I can't promise you that." Jeff let out a sneer when hearing Lucia, "I guessed so. Why did you say so it you couldn't help me achieve it? What's the point of what you've just said? Are you pleasing yourself?" Jeff's words did hurt. Lucia a lot as if a knife had stabbed into her heart. A hint of shame and helplessness flashed in her eyes, as she couldn't fulfill his request in the very end. Looking up at Jeff deeply, Lucia said word by word, "I can only promise you what I can achieve. Nothing else." Lucia knew it clearly that great changes had happened in Evergreen Meditation Yard after Mr. Makoto's death. And all the people there hated Bishop so much. However, they would be persons like Bishop if they were to commit a murder. Besides, they were monks and respected lives so much.

Not doing anything illegal was the line Lucia drew, and she herself would never cross this line. After a pause, Lucia turned around and told Zane, "Don't forget to call him a doctor to bandage his wounds." After saying so, Lucia was striding out of the room, but she heard Jeff's cold voice, "I don't need your mercy."

Lucia paused for a moment and then walked out without a word. Soon, Zane caught up with her and said in a voice with dissatisfaction. "Lucia, that old guy was being so impolite to you. Why do you still ask me to call him a doctor?" Hesitating for a few seconds, Lucia replied after a deep breath, "I owe him." It was a matter of course to pay one's own debt. Lucia owed the entire Evergreen Meditation Yard, but she couldn't pay all of them in a short time. Zane pouted. He was supposed to defend Lucia, but he didn't say anything in the end after hearing her words.

Lucia was a bit exhausted when she arrived home. She went downstairs after taking a shower, and intended to check the two kids. But she was stopped by Elisa. Lucia was kinda confused, "Mom, what's up?" Elisa pulled her seriously to the side with a frown, "Are you good with Paul?" Lucia was a bit surprised to hear so, and still felt annoyed when thinking of what happened to her and Paul last time. She wanted to explain something to Elisa but still didn't say a word in the end.

Seeing Lucia's reaction, Elisa got to know the answer. She said seriously to Lucia after a sigh, "Lucia, I mean, the quarrels between couple should be mended overnight. Okay? A silent thing is no good for your relationship. Besides, you should think about your kids. Right?" Lucia was being silent. After a moment of pondering, she continued to say to Elisa, "Mom, don't worry about us. I'll handle it. myself."

Elisa didn't know the real relationship between Lucia and Paul, so it made sense that she persuaded Lucia like that. Lucia could understand her. After pondering it over, Lucia thought Paul really had done a lot for her and the kids during these years. He had been waiting for her for six years and never had a thing for any woman during the process. Thinking of it, Lucia did think she owed him a lot, and shouldn't blame him for what he did to her last time. Paul respected Lucia and didn't make any unreasonable requests to her.
