Chapter 069

Lucia bit her lip and said lightly, "He just came to see me and left because he had some business to take care of." She didn't want to tell her parents the truth of the matter. They would be worried about her. Besides, Mr. Mitchell had a heart condition. If he learned of the truth, he would definitely get irritated, so she might as well hide it from them.

Mrs. Mitchell didn't ask any more questions when she heard Lucia say that. She sat down, said something with concern, and then peeled an apple and poured hot water for Lucia. When it was mealtime, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell still had no intention to leave. Lucia said softly, "Mom and Dad, why don't you go

home now? It's mealtime soon." Mrs. Mitchell frowned and wanted to say she would stay with Lucia, but Mr. Mitchell reached out to pull her and said, "Let's go. Lucia needs to have a rest." Only then did Mrs. Mitchell get up, Lucia clenched her hands slowly under the quilt. She smiled at them and pretended to be calm as she said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. Turner is here to take care of me. I will be fine." Mrs. Mitchell said lovingly, "Get some rest. I'll come back to see you with chicken soup."

Lucia nodded and watched as they left.

The moment the door closed, she breathed a long sigh of relief. When she saw Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell just now, she felt so much more upset that tears came to her eyes. If they hadn't left,

she would have cried out. Now, only she knew the grievances she had gone through. After being taken care of by Turner for a few days, Lucia was finally able to get out of bed. There were still a lot of injuries all over her body, but luckily, she didn't have any broken bones, so she could still move around. However, August hadn't come to see her in the past few days and her resentment towards him was slowly increasing.

"Turner, I'll just go out for a walk. You can stay here." Turner was still worried when she heard Lucia say that, but seeing how determined Lucia was, she couldn't say anything

else.

Out of the ward, Lucia took a deep breath. She had been spending her days in the ward and hadn't seen the sun outside for a long time. When she got to the elevator, Lucia saw the slogan next to it and realized that it was Essence Hospital. It was the same hospital where she had inadvertently stumbled upon August's secret and where Jeanne was staying. When she got into the elevator, Lucia bit her lip and pressed the button to go up, with some unknown feelings at the bottom of her heart. She would like to see what Jeanne was like and why August would put so much attention and effort into protecting and caring for that woman.

He would rather give up his child to save Jeanne. Out of the elevator, Lucia walked forward following the way in her memory. It didn't take long for her to see Burton standing

outside a ward. Lucia's heart skipped a beat. Was August there?

She bit her lip and walked forward with clenched fists. Burton looked a little serious when he noticed her. "Madam, what are you..." Lucia limped forward and pretended to be calm as she said after a deep breath, "I'm just here to take a look. Is that okay?" Burton looked a little embarrassed. "Madam..." Lucia wrinkled her brow slightly. "August is in there?" Burton answered truthfully, "Yes." Lucia's heart sank when she heard that.

Sure enough, Jeanne was the more important to him. Lucia was in the same hospital as Jeanne, and he had only visited Lucia once when she woke up and spent the rest of the time here with Jeanne. It was clear to Lucia whom he cared about more.

"I'll just have a look from outside. I'm not going in "Lucia bit her lip and her tone was firm.

Burton looked hesitant Lucia could tell what he was thinking. She looked down at her bruised body and said, "Do you think can do anything to them like this now?" Burton had nothing to say He paused for a few seconds and then slowly moved out of the way

Lucia slowly walked to the door and raised her head to look inside through the small square window on the door.

On the couch next to the large window, August was flipping through a book on his lap with his head slightly bowed, and a

slender, pale woman was nestled against the man's chest as they read the book together. The sun shone in, enveloping them with a layer of soft light. They were like a divine couple, matching and harmonious. Suddenly, the woman raised her head and said something to August. The man's lips curved and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
