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, yon have a fiancee who you're
about lo get engaged to.â
With that, he turned around and left.
August was the only one left in the room
He kept thinking about Lucia's face. Finally, he look a deep breath and suppressed all impulses ill his
heart.
It seemed that I ueia had been integrated into his life bit by bit in the most imperceptible way, and
it was not easy tor him to lorget her.
It seemed that he really should concent rale. At least now, when tilecompany'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 Imrtiedly
changed her clothes and asked Mark lo drive her to the hospital.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the ward, she I couldn'l wait to push the door open and
rushed in,
"August!"
August raised his eyes lo look at her, and said with an impetceptible coldness in his eyes, "Come
in."
"You're t Inally willing lo see me!" Jeanne rushed lo I he 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?â
His words instantly made Jeanne awake a bit. she looked tip 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 yon were
angry..."
Capturing the fleling panic in Jeanne's eyes, August forced a smile anil 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
Jailing, "I just feed that you are colder to me than before, and I'm scaled..."
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 ot her eyes, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
August didn't want to beat around the bush, so he simply went straight lo the point, "Does the leak
of the proposal have anything to do with you?"
Jeanne was slightly surprised and her back stiffened a little. Alter 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 thecar when Lucia went to
deliver the documents, and you were alone in thecar for about ten minutes at the Figo Intersection.â
Jeanne was shocked and shook her head quickly, "I...I didnât 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 in a 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 lo 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 alter it happened, I have to find out anything suspicious
Jeanne leaned towards his chest,and sobbed, "I know, Augusl, I don't blame you. I didn't help you.
I'm just causing you trouble..."
She was crying bittelly im his arms and looked so pitiful August picked up a paper napkin on the
side and helped her wipe the teals horn her Lice, "Okay, don't cry.â
Jeanne raised her head and looked at him in tears, "I heard from Aunt Christina that the time of our
engagement is about to he confirmed Is that true?â
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 ran be with you lorever. I'm so happy..."
August smiled and said nothing
hl the end, he raised his hand to brush the broken hair around het ear and looked at her with a little
more affection.
His engagement party was only a tool lor his lather. The only person who could be purely happy
was Jeanne.
In the next few days, the relationship between Jeanne and August seemed to lie restored to the
past, she came to deliver meats and soup every day and ate with him. In addition. August recovered
very'quickly In less th.Ill a week, all his wounds had scabbed over.
Before leaving I he 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 oil?"
August smiled and said, "The company needs lite now I will accompany you when I have time."
Jeanne agreed, "okay, then I'll lake advantage of these I VW'days lo prepare for our engagement.â
Hearing the word "engagement", August paused slight ly, unbuttoned his shirt, ami his voice
became a little colder, "Jeanne, you go out anti wait till me. I'll c hange.â
When Jeanne heard lllis, she smiled I liquet I ishly. Instead id leas mg, she ie.il bed out and held his
hand, "Well, I'l < hatigeyonr clothes tor yon."
His wound had scabbed over, but he still couldn't move rii Idessjy. It was very Inconvenient lor him
to put on clothes like a shirt.
When Jeanne met tills opportunity, she was overjoyed, she si rel died Olli her hand lo help him
billion his shirt. When she saw his bare chest, her heart heal lasi er, and she lelt a hl lie 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 mine sei lons, "You go out first and ask Burton to come
in"
"August..." Jeanne raised het eyes and said, "I'll help you. Why bother others?â
Besides, they were about to get engaged, so there was nothing to shy away from.
But t 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.â
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?
