Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Could It Be That He Suspected Wrong?

The atmosphere seemed to freeze in the ward.

After a long while, August slowly reacted.

Joshua sighed lightly, "Forget it.Think about it yourself.Don't forget, you have a fiancée who you're about to get engaged to."

With that, he turned around and left.

August was the only one left in the room. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He kept thinking about Lucia's face.

Finally, he took a deep breath and suppressed all impulses in his heart.

It seemed that Lucia had been integrated into his life bit by bit in the most imperceptible way, and it was not easy for him to forget her.

It seemed that he really should concentrate.

At least now, when the company's various conditions were unclear, he was in no mood to think about other things.

He glanced at the phone next to him and picked it up.

As soon as he turned it on, he saw messages from Jeanne.

[August, are you feeling better?]

[I want to go to the hospital to see you, but I'm afraid to disturb you.]

[I'm really worried.Call me if you see the messages.]

August frowned slightly, and finally replied, [Come here.]

It happened that he also had something to ask her in person.

After receiving August's reply, Jeanne was so excited that she almost jumped up.

She hurriedly changed her clothes and asked Mark to drive her to the hospital.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the ward, she couldn't wait to push the door open and rushed in, "August!"

August raised his eyes to look at her, and said with an imperceptible coldness in his eyes, "Come in."

"You're finally willing to see me!"

Jeanne rushed to the side of the hospital bed and held August's hand, and her eyes instantly turned red, "I thought you were mad at me."

August's eyes turned cold, and he asked, "Why would I be mad at you? Did you do something wrong?"

His words instantly made Jeanne awake a bit.

She looked up at August in panic, and quickly shook her head, "No, the last time I visited you, it affected your rest.I thought you didn't reply because you were angry..."

Capturing the fleeting panic in Jeanne's eyes, August forced a smile and said, "Am I so petty in your eyes?"

"No, that's not what I meant..."Jeanne's voice became lower and lower.

As she spoke, her tears kept falling, "I just feel that you are colder to me than before, and I'm scared..."

Seeing this, August raised his hand, pressed his eyebrows, and asked patiently, "Jeanne, I have something to ask you."

Jeanne looked at him tearfully, wiped the corners of her eyes, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

August didn't want to beat around the bush, so he simply went straight to the point, "Does the leak of the proposal have anything to do with you?"

Jeanne was slightly surprised and her back stiffened a little.

After a second, she hurriedly said, "August, how could it have anything to do with me?!"

August's eyes became serious, "My man found out that you were in the car when Lucia went to deliver the documents, and you were alone in the car for about ten minutes at the Figo Intersection."

Jeanne was shocked and shook her head quickly, "I...I didn't see any proposal, and I didn't know about it at all.August, what's in it for me to do this? You know, all I've cared about is you!"

She held August's hand tightly with both hands, shook her head ina panic, and explained.Her eyes were red, and she looked quite pitiful.

August frowned, feeling a little confused.He didn't want to doubt anyone.But when things got to this point, he had to find out himself.

Jeanne was out of breath crying, and her voice was a little hoarse, "I grew up with you and we have known each other for so many years.Why would I hurt you?"

August was slightly surprised.

Could it be that he suspected wrong? He frowned, held Jeanne's hand and his voice was a little softer, "I didn't mean to blame you.It's just that after it happened, I have to find out anything suspicious."

Jeanne leaned towards his chest, and sobbed, "I know, August, I don't blame you.I didn't help you.I'm just causing you trouble..."

She was crying bitterly in his arms and looked so pitiful.

August picked up a paper napkin on the side and helped her wipe the tears from her face, "Okay, don't cry."

Jeanne raised her head and looked at him in tears, "I heard from Aunt Christina that the time of our engagement is about to be confirmed.Is that true?"

August blinked and the emotions in his eyes were a bit complicated, but he still nodded, "Yeah."

Hearing this, Jeanne instantly looked surprised and happy.She opened her arms to hug his arm, and said softly, "Then I can be with you forever.I'm so happy..."

August smiled and said nothing.

In the end, he raised his hand to brush the broken hair around her ear and looked at her with a little more affection.His engagement party was only a tool for his father.

The only person who could be purely happy was Jeanne.

In the next few days, the relationship between Jeanne and August seemed to be restored to the past.She came to deliver meals and soup every day and ate with him.

In addition, August recovered very quickly.

In less than a week, all his wounds had scabbed over.

Before leaving the hospital, Jeanne was a little reluctant to end such a happy time.

She took August's hand and asked, "August, are you not going to take another day off?"

August smiled and said, "The company needs me now.I will accompany you when I have time."

Jeanne agreed, "Okay, then I'll take advantage of these few days to prepare for our engagement."

Hearing the word "engagement", August paused slightly, unbuttoned his shirt, and his voice became a little colder, "Jeanne, you go out and wait for me.I'll change."

When Jeanne heard this, she smiled coquettishly.

Instead of leaving, she reached out and held his hand, "Well, I'll change your clothes for you."

His wound had scabbed over, but he still couldn't move recklessly.It was very inconvenient for him to put on clothes like a shirt.

When Jeanne met this opportunity, she was overjoyed.She stretched out her hand to help him button his shirt.

When she saw his bare chest, her heart beat faster, and she felt a little warm.

The moment her soft hand touched his firm chest, she chuckled.

But the next second, her hand was grabbed.

"Jeanne."

August's voice was deeper and more serious, "You go out first and ask Burton to come in."

"August..."

Jeanne raised her eyes and said, "I'll help you.Why bother others?"

Besides, they were about to get engaged, so there was nothing to shy away from.

But August's face was serious, and his eyes were firm when he looked at her.

She felt a chill down her spine and quickly withdrew her hand, "Okay then, I'll go out."

With that, she turned around a little unhappily and walked out of the ward.

August stood there with a frown, feeling complicated.

He didn't know why he was so repulsive to Jeanne's touch.

But when he was with Lucia, he clearly wouldn't feel this way.

Was it because he had gotten used to Lucia?
