Chapter 282 Why Can't You Tolerate Her?

"It's nothing."

Joshua smiled faintly at her, "Ms.Mitchell, I just want to remind you to know what you're doing."

"August and Jeanne were childhood sweethearts, and it is not easy for someone else to get in.Even if August is tender and considerate, the most important person in his heart is always Jeanne, and it will not change"

Hearing his words, Lucia was stunned.Her mind went blank.She was dazed and didn't recover for a while.

It was not until she heard Joshua call her name that she woke up, and her hands were cold.

Joshua was implying something.He was first referring to her involvement in August and Jeanne's relationship and then emphasizing the importance of Jeanne in August's heart.

He was warning her to know her position.

August didn't say these words himself, but Joshua was one of his very close friends.

For her, it was a heavy blow.

She took a deep breath and wrung her hands nervously, "So Joshua..."

"What I mean is, if you're August's secretary, then just do what you need to do.Don't ask more questions, and don't get involved in his personal life.Ms.Mitchell, you're a smart girl and I think you understand what I mean.

"Lucia took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and felt a little depressed.

In the end, she said, "I understand."

"I'm glad you understand.Keep your distance, and it'll be good for both you and August."

With that, Joshua gave her a deep look and walked out of the ward.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Lucia looked at the lunch box in front of her and lost her appetite.It seemed that everyone around August thought she shouldn't stay by his side.

Whether it was Jeanne, Eliot, or Christina, they didn't want her to get too close to August.

What about August himself? Overwhelmed with disappointment, Lucia sat on the bed thinking about it, and her mind was a mess.

Finally, when the nurse came to check on her injuries, she suddenly stopped the nurse and asked seriously, "With my current physical condition, can I be discharged from the hospital?"

The nurse was slightly surprised, "You can leave the hospital to recuperate at home after applying for the medicine, but why do you want to leave the hospital so suddenly?"

Lucia smiled and didn't answer her question, "Well, please help me with the discharge procedures."

She and August's ward were adjacent to each other and their contact would be inevitable.She thought she'd better recuperate at home and save some money.

The nurse tried to persuade her to change her mind.

Seeing her firm attitude, the nurse couldn't say anything else.So she had to help Lucia with the discharge procedures.

After packing up her things, Lucia quietly left the ward.

When she saw August's ward next to hers, her heart sank, and she gritted her teeth and left.

On the other side of the door, August was looking at the documents sent by Burton on the laptop and knew nothing about what happened to her.

An afternoon passed quickly.

After August dealt with the work at hand, he suddenly thought of Lucia in the ward next to his.She was unexpectedly patient and she hadn't shown up since morning.He smiled, picked up his phone, and sent her a message.

After a long while, there was no reply from Lucia.

He glanced at the time and found it was almost time for dinner.He directly called Lucia, but unexpectedly no one answered.

August felt a little uneasy.

Joshua happened to push the door open and came in with dinner.

August frowned, looked at Joshua, and said, "Call the nurse."

"What's the matter? Are you not feeling well?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

August looked serious, "You go and call the nurse first."

Joshua shrugged, went out to the nurse station, and called the nurse.

As soon as the nurse arrived at the door, she saw that August's face was a little cold, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

August said nothing, and asked directly, "How is Lucia today?"

Hearing his words, the nurse was a little surprised, "The patient in the next ward? She..."

Seeing that the nurse was hesitant, August felt more anxious and he asked, "What's wrong with her?"

It'd been almost a whole day since he heard anything from Lucia.

The nurse was a little nervous and said softly, "She has already been discharged from the hospital."

Hearing the nurse's words, August turned gloomy.

After being silent for a few seconds, he stood up abruptly and started to walk out.

When the nurse saw this, she explained in panic, "She said she was going home to recuperate, and she was discharged in the afternoon..."

August paused, looked at the nurse with a cold gaze, and asked condescendingly, "So you let a patient out of the hospital with an unhealed wound?"

Seeing this, Joshua quickly stepped forward and persuaded, "August, this has nothing to do with the nurse.Lucia wanted to be discharged..."

Hearing this, August suddenly thought of something, looked up at him, and asked coldly, "Is it you?"

Joshua was slightly surprised, "What?"

August's expression became a little scared, "I'm asking if you said something to you."

At noon today, Joshua had taken the initiative to deliver food to Lucia.He left for about ten minutes.

After he came back, he said that he had gone out to smoke, but there was no smell of smoke on him.

At that time, August realized that something was wrong, but he didn't ask much.

Lucia left the hospital in the afternoon probably because Joshua had said something to her.

Joshua knew he couldn't hide it.

He didn't reply directly, but looked at the nurse beside him, "You go out first."

The nurse nodded and immediately left the ward.

The sudden silence in the room was terrifying.

After two seconds of silence, Joshua raised his eyes to meet August's gaze, "It's me."

August's eyes darkened and his sharp eyes turned cold.He was burning with anger.

"Why can't you all get along with her?"

First, Eliot and Christina couldn't tolerate her, so she was kicked out of the Adams family with her injuries.

Now Joshua had made her hurriedly leave the hospital and go home before her injuries were healed.

He knew that Lucia was just an ordinary woman, but it seemed that no one could tolerate her! Seeing the anger in August's eyes, Joshua was stunned for a moment and quickly forced a smile, "August, you are angry with me for a woman.Is it worthwhile?"

August clenched his fists unconsciously and said, "So, that's why you can't tolerate her?"

Joshua sneered, "August, you have never been so kind.Why can't you make up your mind about her now?"

"Joshua, it's you who has changed."

August's eyes lit up with anger, and he stepped forward to approach Joshua, "From the moment we first reached an alliance, I've known exactly what our mission is.Have you forgotten it?"

"I know it better than you!"

Joshua's eyes suddenly darkened and he raised his voice, "Punish evil and promote well.We've been committed to clearing all the dark corners of Austos City, but you are no longer like yourself because of a woman.Do you know that you two are not from the same world at all?!"

Hearing his words, August froze in place.
