Chapter 463
Lucia sat in the waiting area at the elevator door This was the only way to get to Paula's ward, so if Burton came he would definitely pass by here
Finally, another elevator stopped on this floor and the doors slowly opened Lucia took a deep breath and looked up and
Burton came out from inside
What surprised her was that he had not come alone August had followed him down the elevator Lucia's heart tightened as she thought of what Paul had told her earlier, and a sense of disgust and resistance struck her making her frown subconsciously
Burton came up and asked hesitantly. "Lucia, is Paula
Now, everyone wanted to hear the good news but had to prepare for the worst
Lucia took a deep breath, took him to the window, and said seriously. "The doctor told me today that Paula's situation is not very optimistic. There's a possibility that she may never wake up. She may become a vegetable As she spoke, she couldn't help but choke with sobs
Burton froze in place for a long time, and finally, his eyes twitched back to attention, "A vegetable” Lucia nodded.
For a moment, the surroundings felt quieter The three of them did not speak
Finally, Burton slowly returned to his senses and asked with tearful eyes. "Can that be treated?" Lucia replied softly. "Paul said that he had found a foreign doctor There is still a chance for her, but we have to wait for the doctor to arrive. "
A glint flashed across Burton's eyes when he heard this. He nodded and said. "No matter what happens, I will always accompany her" His voice was soft but unusually firm
As he spoke, Burton looked up at her and said, "I want to see her
After that, he turned around and walked straight toward Paula's ward
Looking at the back of the man, Lucia felt sour in her heart. She could tell that Burton was sincere about Paula
A few seconds later, she came back to her senses and inadvertently turned her head Her eyes met August's, and she was slightly stunned, then frowned and turned to leave without saying anything August saw her reaction and frowned He went after her and blocked her path, "Lucia, there's no need for this between us
There was no need for them to be tit-for-tat like enemies every time they met, no need to deliberately keep their distance, and no need to get things so stiff.
Lucia tightly pursed her lips, refusing to speak.
August continued to follow her, asking as he walked, "Why didn't you continue with the public welfare short film? And why did you ask Director Gao to give me that necklace?"
At these words, Lucia's eyes darkened, and it was already clear in her heart that August should have been on the set, and
Director Brook naturally passed all those things to him.
According to their original plan, she and Paul would have taken Timothy and Janet to South Fronce by now However, due to Paula's situation, they had no choice but to stay and push back their schedule
Lucia clenched her teeth. She still refused to utter a single word.
Finally, August frowned and his face turned gloomy. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the elevator.
Lucia was shocked and almost blurted out a cry, "August, what are you doing?"
She tried to struggle a few times but had little effect. The man's iron arms gripped her wrist tightly, not giving her a chance to break free
At that time, an elevator door opened. He pulled her up and pressed the button on the first floor. Lucia stared at him angrily and asked, "is that funny to you?"
August raised an eyebrow "You're finally willing to speak? Let's find somewhere else and have a real conversation.”
Lucia was irritated at getting out, so she started to struggle, but August suddenly pressed her and pinned her directly to the wall of the elevator
The elevator shook slightly Lucia's heart thumped and she became nervous.
August lowered his eyes slightly and spoke in a deep voice, "If you keep messing around, the elevator will break down and neither of us can get out.”
His words worked for some reason. Lucia's body stiffened, and she didn't dare to move.
Soon, the elevator reached the first floor and the door slowly opened. August dragged her out of the elevator and directly into the hospital's back garden
After walking along the cobblestone path for a while, Lucia finally found an opportunity to break free from his hand. She took a few steps back and looked at him with vigilance.
"What do you want to say? Just say it here!”
August frowned at her slightly for a few seconds and asked, "You're not going to make a public welfare short film?"
Not wanting to beat around the bush, Lucia directly admitted, "Alright, I'll stop”
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across August's face He took a step forward, approached her, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you want that video anymore?"
Hearing what he said, Lucia sneered and looked at him coldly. "August, apart from threatening me with that video, what else can you do?!"
Gritting her teeth, she continued, "I don't care about that film. I don't care if you want to publicize it or destroy it
Hearing this, August frowned in surprise.
He never expected that Lucia would become so unyielding. He thought that he could at least use this film to temporarily retain her, but the change in her attitude was completely outside his expectations
Thinking of that, August took a deep breath and asked, "Do you intend to leave Auston City?" Gritting her teeth, Lucia admitted, "Yes."
Leaving Autson City and leaving him was always something she wanted to do, but now because of Jeanne Kelly, all her plans have been derailed!
After all, it all had something to do with August!
Thinking Paula was still lying in bed and hadn't woken up, Lucia became even more furious She gritted her teeth, looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly asked offhandedly. "I heard that you went to investigate my kidnapping last time."
August was taken aback. He had not expected her to change the topic so abruptly
He paused for two seconds and replied, "Yes
Lucia couldn't help but get nervous and continued to ask, "What about the results of your investigation? Who is the culprit?”
Al of a sudden, August's expression became serious
After waiting for a long time, Lucia couldn't help sneering, “It looks like you already know who should be blamed for that.”
August hesitated for a moment and spoke lightly, I'l take care of this matter and wil definitely give you an answer.”
Lucia laughed coldly when she heard this
She had long guessed that August would tell her nothing
And she had also confirmed something from his reaction. Other than Jeanne Kelly, there should be no one else worthy of August's protection like that.
In that case, August should have known about Paula's car accident and he had not told her about it because he wanted to cover Jeanne Instantly. Lucia's heart grew cold. As she looked at the man before her, her heart was filled with disappointment.
in the end, she shook her head and said, "August, let's call it an end I don't want to meet you anymore.”
After saying that, she turned around and left
