Chapter 803 An Unexpected Surprise

Burton knew both Daryl and Eliot were staying at People's Hospital so he immediately turned the car around.

Lucia heard Paula's cheerful laughter in the hallway and entered the ward, which smelt faintly of sterile water.

Daryl was bed being fed by Paula on the reclining bed. Although her face was still pale, she looked much better than before. When she saw Lucia and August, she said apologetically, "Paula said you guys just got back from Sonirie. Why didn't you go home and get some rest first?"

"Nothing is more important than you waking up," Lucia said with a smile as she put the flowers in the vase. She looked around and asked curiously, "Why isn't Paul here?"

"Maybe he's busy at work. It doesn't matter," Daryl explained softly with a smile. 'Maybe it doesn't matter to him whether I wake up or not. He won’t come to visit me.' A glint of frustration passed across Daryl's face, but she quickly gave a soft smile.

Paul winked at Lucia to remind her not to mention it. Then she excused herself to go to the bathroom and pulled Lucia out into the hallway.

The ward immediately went quiet.

August just stood there with a poker face.

Daryl didn't seem to mind his indifferent attitude. She said softly, "I know you and Lucia are tired these days. I'm fine. Just take her home and get some rest."

August didn't say anything. He remembered the first time he saw Daryl, she was chatting with Lucia with a happy smile on her face, but now she was sickly. He knew Lucia cared about Daryl and that Daryl had probably been injured because of Lucia, or Paul wouldn't have warned him earlier. With this in mind, August glanced at Daryl's pale face, frowned subconsciously, and asked seriously, "Do you remember what happened?"

Daryl hadn't expected him to ask that. She froze and frowned too. "I just remember a virtual number texting me that day to go to the roof..." she stumbled because she couldn't remember clearly.

August interrupted her immediately, You don't look like a gullible woman."

Daryl nodded solemnly. "I didn't go, but a few hours later, I got another message mentioning Paul. I went to the roof and then I was pushed straight off the roof." Her voice trailed away and she looked in a lot of pain.

August became even more suspicious. He walked forward, stared into Daryl's eyes, and questioned her, "The person who sent you the message has Paul's secret and you know what it is, right?"

Daryl glanced at him, averted her eyes quickly, and whispered, "I'm sorry I can't tell you that."

"That's enough," August's cold voice echoed in the room.

Daryl subconsciously gripped the plain white sheets, her heart pounding, for fear he would ask another question.
