Chapter 812 Confrontation

Lucia felt a chill down her spine. She took Phillip into her arms and reminded herself silently to keep calm in front of Edmund. Her acting would determine whether Phillip could be cured or not. A lot of ideas came to her as she put on a disappointed look. "Mr. Shea, Ms. Capet has tried her best, but it didn't work. You may have to bring Phillip here more often.’

Edmund lowered his eyes slightly. Lucia could tell that he was pretending.

There was a smile on his face when he looked up and he even reassured Lucia, "I'm used to it. Don't feel too bad. Phillip is getting better. We have to trust him."

Lucia nodded absent-mindedly.

Edmund raised his arm and was about to put it on her shoulder when a cold voice came from a short distance away. "I should have brought you along."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lucia was surprised and turned her head subconsciously.

As expected, it was August. He was standing side by side with Joshua, his hands in his pockets. The cold look in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze everything.

The soft look in Edmund's eyes faded at once. He and August both saw the hostility in each other's eyes. Instead of walking forward, he said casually as if he was showing off to August,' Mr. Adams, didn't you know I had an appointment with Lucia? Lucia is really careless. Don't get us wrong."

August glanced at him and replied casually, "It doesn't matter. She never has to explain to me."

August's snort irritated Edmund. He clenched his fists silently and felt that August had seen through him.

"What are you doing here?" Lucia was afraid that August would misunderstand her, so she immediately walked up to him and took his hand. "I brought Phillip to Sophie for treatment, but it was too dangerous to have three children in the car, so I asked Mr. Shea to bring Phillip here himself. I wouldn't have bothered him if I had known you were coming'

Edmund called her Lucia but she called him Mr. Shea. It said it all.

August held Lucia's hand as she spoke and fiddled with her wedding ring as if it were just a little habit. "I'm here to talk partnership with Joshua," he said in a low voice. "I saw Timothy and Janet in the hallway and learned that you're helping someone else again.'

Lucia glanced at the two children as if to ask why they hadn't told her. Janet pouted innocently. She had just tried to say it, but she hadn't gotten a chance.
