Chapter 184

Before Lucia could figure it out, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

Lucia was so frightened that she immediately took out her phone to answer the call, "Hello?"

As soon as she answered, she heard Paula's voice in disbelief from the other end of the phone, "Lucia, are you crazy!"

It was so loud.

Lucia quickly took the phone half a meter away, but she could still hear Paula's voice, "How dare you do the test with your hands? Are you crazy?! Has the wound been bandaged? Is the event over? Where are you?"

Hearing Paula's consecutive questions, Lucia smiled helplessly and said softly, "Paula, don't worry.The wound has been bandaged, and I'm in the hospital now"

As soon as Paula heard that she was in the hospital, Paula immediately asked, "Which hospital? I'll go over right now!"

Hearing her decisive voice, Lucia couldn't refuse.So she hesitantly gave the name of the hospital.

"Okay, don't move around.I'll go see you right away!"

As soon as Paula finished it, she hung up.

Lucia glanced at the darkened screen, smiled helplessly, and shook her head.

Paula had a quick temper.

When would she change it? She glanced at her wound that had been treated, took the elevator directly to the lobby on the first floor of the hospital, and found a chair to sit down.

More than twenty minutes later, Lucia saw Paula hurriedly pass through the gate and walk in quickly.She quickly stood up and waved her uninjured right hand at Paula.

Seeing that, Paula hurried over immediately, grabbed her wrist, and turned it around to check, "Let me see.Is there any other injury?"

Seeing her like this, Lucia felt warm in her heart, and said ina relaxed tone, "It's okay.The small wound in my hand has been bandaged.So don't worry."

Hearing this, Paula grabbed her left hand wrapped in layers of gauze and looked at it again and again.She felt sorry for Lucia and said with a frown, "This must be painful.I watched that video several times, and I felt distressed when I watched it.Even if it heals, it will leave a scar, right?"

Seeing Paula nag about her injury, Lucia couldn't help but smile.She raised her right hand and patted Paula's back, comforting, "Don't worry.It's okay!"

Paula pulled Lucia to sit down and couldn't help but start scolding her, "If the metal pieces inside were a little sharper, maybe your fingers would have been chopped off! Lucia, why are you still acting as if nothing happened?"

Lucia smiled and raised her "stump" to make an oath, "Okay, I'm really fine. I promise you, I'll never take risks again!"

Seeing her funny appearance, Paula couldn't help laughing.

She laughed angrily, "You'd better not!"

The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

At this moment, neither of them noticed that a familiar figure was approaching not far behind.

Burton walked across the rows of benches, approaching them, and could hear the conversation.

As soon as the event was over, he rushed over.

Unexpectedly, Mr.Adams had already left.

However, the task that Mr.Adams had given him was to escort Lucia home.

Now that he saw Paula with Lucia, he didn't have to worry anymore.

"Paula, you said you didn't know I was injured until you watched the live streaming?"

"Yeah! You can watch it online now.Lucia, you're popular this time!"

Hearing Paula say this, Lucia didn't have the slightest look of joy on her face.

Instead, she squeezed the corner of her clothes in a bit of confusion.

Paula noticed the abnormality and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Lucia said softly, "I'm afraid my parents will see it.They will be worried at that time.I've been collecting surgery fees recently.If my father sees the video, he will be sad..."

The atmosphere instantly became much gloomier.

Paula opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

After a pause, she said softly, "Lucia, how much more do you need for the surgery? I have some savings.It's not much, but I can give it to you..."

Burton, who was not far behind, heard their conversation.

After hesitating, he wanted to call August immediately to explain the situation.

But on second thought, he believed it was better to report this kind of thing to him in person.

At the same time, at Kelly's family villa, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

With a blushing face, Jeanne smiled slightly and dragged August into the Kelly family hall.

When Martin sitting on the sofa heard the sound, he raised his eyes slightly, glanced at August, and stood up with a smile, "August, you're here."

August's expression was indifferent, showing no emotions.

He greeted Martin and Mrs.Kelly, "Mr.Kelly, Mrs.Kelly."

Mrs.Kelly smiled and asked August to take a seat, "August, please sit down! As soon as I heard you were coming today, I specially asked the chef to cook a few more dishes that you like!"

August raised his eyes slightly and smiled at Mrs.Kelly in response.

When he retracted his gaze, he caught Martin staring at him meaningfully.

Finally, Martin said calmly, "August, it had been a while since your last visit.Let's have a few drinks today."

"Of course, Mr.Kelly."

August nodded and raised his eyes to look at the man over fifty with gray hair with a faint smile The two looked at each other and smiled faintly.

When their eyes met, there was something else in them.

Suddenly, Jeanne said, "Dad, didn't you say Merlin is back? Where is he?"

Hearing this, Martin lowered his eyes slightly and looked away.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

He replied in a gentle tone, "He's upstairs.He'll come down later."

August looked at Martin and his eyes became deeper.

It was so deep that others couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Mrs.Kelly brought tea, and he looked away.

The grievances and grudges between them couldn't be explained in a few words.

August had been waiting for the right moment to send Martin to hell with his own hands and let him taste pain! Now was not the time yet.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, August blinked.

After a few words with Mrs.Kelly, the kitchen was almost ready.

Mrs.Kelly smiled lightly and reminded softly, "Jeanne, August, lunch is ready.Why don't you wash your hands?"

When Jeanne heard it, she quickly responded, "Okay, Mom, I'll take August to wash our hands."

In her own home, Jeanne was a bit more active than outside.

Now she had a posture of bringing her boyfriend to meet her parents.

She was very feminine, shy, and tender.

Pulling August into the kitchen to wash their hands, Jeanne couldn't help but say, "August, my parents have always wanted you to come to our house for lunch.I saw that you were busy with work, so I didn't tell you.This time I'm very happy you can come.I can tell they are happy too!"

Hearing her excited tone, August smiled mockingly and asked, "Really?"

Jeanne didn't notice the abnormality, and said in an affirmative one, "Of course!"

She tilted her head to look at him, squinted her eyes, and smiled, "August, come often in the future, okay?" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Looking at Jeanne's smile, August paused, and he was a little hesitant.

He hated the Kelly family and hated Martin the most because all the misfortunes he had encountered were indirectly caused by Martin.

But what made him hesitate was that the people who had given him warmth and care during the most tormenting years were also from the Kelly family.

There were countless times when he wanted to destroy the Kelly family with his own hands, and there were equally countless times when his plans and impulses stopped at Jeanne's simple smiling face.
