Chapter 277 Why Did You Lie?

Hearing this, August blinked, and frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, "What do you think?"She left the Adams family with injuries on her body.

Could he not worry about her? When Lucia met his eyes, she quickly looked away and looked at his broad shoulders.She hesitated, "The wounds on your body...ch..."

Before she finished her sentence, she trembled in pain and frowned tightly.

At this moment, the nurse said softly, "I'll continue to apply for the medicine.It will hurt a little.Please bear with it"

Lucia nodded softly and clenched her fists slowly.

August raised his eyes and looked over.

Lucia's shirt was lifted by the nurse, and it revealed her back.

The wound looked like a black and red snake crawling on her fair skim, and it looked a little scary.It must be very painful.

August frowned.

Without saying a word, he pulled a chair, sat down beside the bed, and held Lucia's hand.

At this time, the nurse had already started to apply for the medicine.

Lucia frowned in pain and closed her eyes.She couldn't care less and subconsciously held his big warm hand.

"Oh!"

The nurse slowly lifted the sheet covering her back, and two long scars were fully revealed.

The scars were especially conspicuous and dazzling on Lucia's smooth back.

August frowned and swallowed.He couldn't help asking, "Will such a wound leave a scar?"

The nurse said softly, "It might.But if you take good care of it and pay more attention, the scar will be lighter."

Hearing this, August frowned more tightly.

Probably feeling that the atmosphere was too tense, the nurse continued applying for the medicine and said softly, "But it doesn't matter.Even if there is a scar, it will be fine as long as the boyfriend doesn't mind."

She glanced at August meaningfully He suddenly appeared here, and the nurse naturally regarded him as the patient's boyfriend.

August paused, and then said, "I don't mind."

Hearing this, the nurse smiled ambiguously and looked at Lucia with a little more envy.But Lucia only cared about enduring the pain and had no time to pay attention to them.She closed her eyes tightly and kept sweating.

"It'll be fine soon.Just bear with it."

As the nurse said, she quickly applied for the medicine, and then began to bandage.

Lucia didn't rest well, so the wound that had been bandaged was stretched open and blood was oozing out.It would hurt to bandage again.

Lucia felt a stinging pain in her back, burning hot, even worse than the moment she was whipped.She subconsciously tightened her grip on August's hand.

After a moment, the pain eased a little.She slowly calmed herself down and opened her eyes.

"It's already bandaged.Remember not to move too violently so as not to tear open the wound again."

Lucia nodded, raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw August frowning tightly.She looked down and realized that she was holding his hand so tightly that her fingernails sank into the back of his hand.She was startled and quickly released her hand, "I'm sorry..."

"It's alright."

August put away his hand, looking a little serious.He asked in a deep voice, "You are so afraid of pain, but why did you block the whip for me at that time?"

He had been thinking about the question for days, and now he finally had the chance to ask it.

When Lucia heard his words, panic flashed on her face for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, "The proposal was passed to my hand, and there was a possibility that I leaked it accidentally, so I was also responsible.I just bore the punishment I deserved."

Her tone was serious as if there were no personal feelings involved.

August's eyes darkened a little, and his voice was slightly cold, "Wasn’t Jeanne in the car when you went to deliver the proposal that day?"

Hearing his words, Lucia instantly widened her eyes and looked at him, "How did you know?"

She had deliberately kept it from him, but he still knew about it.

Did he go to investigate again? August looked cold, stared at her, and asked, "Why did you lie?"

Lucia was flustered, not knowing how to answer.

"Answer me." He raised his voice a little bit, and there was a bit of coldness in his tone.

Lucia knew well that he was angry.

Gritting her teeth, she took a deep breath and summoned her courage, "I was afraid that speaking out the truth would affect your relationship.Also, I don't think Ms.Kelly is the one who leaked the proposal."

August fell silent for a few seconds.

Then he said a little angrily, "You..."

He stood up abruptly.

Before he finished his sentence, he froze, and his face suddenly changed.

Lucia hurriedly raised her head.She was surprised when she saw his face, "Is it the wound in your back..."

August frowned, and his lips were a little pale.

Before he could speak, Lucia stopped the nurse who had packed up and was about to leave, "Nurse...he also has a wound on his back!"

When the nurse heard her words, she immediately looked back and saw that August didn't look right.She hurriedly walked over and looked behind him.She was shocked, "You're bleeding!"

Lucia said in a panic, "His injury is worse than mine.Nurse, please treat him quickly."

The nurse immediately took August to treat his wound.

Lucia was instructed not to move around, so she could only lie on her stomach in the bed.

After more than half an hour, the nurse came over and smiled at her, "Your boyfriend's wound has been bandaged.He's in the next ward now.Call me if anything happens."

Hearing the word "boyfriend", Lucia smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that the nurse turned to leave, she had to swallow.

However, after hearing that his wound had been treated, she finally felt relieved.She was lying on her stomach in bed.

Recalling what had happened in the past few days, she was in a complicated mood, and she gradually fell asleep.She was woken up by the ringing of her phone.She picked up her phone in a daze, only to realize that it was already getting dark outside.

When she saw the caller ID, she gasped and pressed the answer button, "Hey, President Adams."

August said in a deep voice "Are you hungry? I have something to eat here.Do you want me to send it to you?"

Lucia was slightly startled yet flattered, "Okay...thank you."

When she woke up, she felt very hungry.But as soon as she hung up the phone, she moved and suddenly thought that August was still injured.If he got up and brought food to her, it might affect his wound.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to go over and take the food by herself.She got up slowly, got out of bed, and walked out of the ward.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw that the door of the neighboring ward was half-open.She hesitated for a moment and walked over.She pushed open the door and saw Joshua standing by the window, and then August sitting on the bed.

Seeing Lucia at the door, August frowned, "Why are you here?"

He had said that he would send it to her, but she came over by herself.

Lucia hadn't expected that there would be someone else in the room, and she hesitantly said, "I...came to get the food."

August frowned more deeply and said, "Didn't the nurse tell you not to move around? I'll have someone send it to you." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Lucia blushed, and she was speechless, "Well...When Joshua saw them like this, he burst out laughing and looked at August a little meaningfully.

Lucia took a deep breath and lowered her voice a little, "Well, I'll go."

When August saw her bowing her head and walking towards the door, his heart tightened and he blurted out, "Wait!"
