Chapter 031

Irene frowned and stared at Lucia, not quite sure.

Could it be that what Lucia wrote on her information collection form was a lie? But she didn’t have

to lie!

Irene was unwilling to give up, so she stood and said, “Let's follow up and see what's going on!"

After placing her plate in the recycling area, Lucia walked out of the canteen. But before she got

very far, it became obvious that she felt hot and itchy on all parts of her body, including her arms,

neck, and even her cheeks.

She was familiar with this feeling. She scratched her arm and lifted her sleeve to see a fine layer of

small red bumps on her arm.

She's allergic...

She had allergy symptoms before. After going to the hospital, the doctor checked out that she was

allergic to mangoes, but she hadn't touched any mangoes today!

Before she figured out what was going on, the itchy feeling on her body became more and more

intense. She couldn't help but reach out her hand to scratch those places which then turned red and

became itchier.

It was like a million bugs kept biting her body parts, making her too uncomfortable.

Lucia held back the pain and walked quickly, but in a hurry, her steps were disordered, and she

directly stumbled on herself.

She stumbled forward and when she was about to fall to the ground, a hand suddenly reached over

next to hold her directly

“Lucia, are you okay?”

After standing firm, Lucia looked up and saw Baron.

She shook her head and before she could speak, Baron said in surprise, “Your face.”

Lucia then recovered and raised her hand to touch her cheek which was completely swollen.

It was exactly the same as her previous allergy to mangoes, but she didn't eat anything containing

mango.

Could it be. the mixed fruit and vegetable juice? But she hadn't had anything to do with that juice

before.

When she saw Baron trying to lean over, Lucia subconsciously took a step back, “I'm allergic.” Baron

said without hesitation, “I'll take you to the hospital!” Lucia wanted to refuse, but the uncomfortable

feeling was getting worse and she had no choice but to agree.

At the airport on the outskirts of Austos City.

August got off the plane, took Jeanne back to the hospital, and then rushed directly to Lion Group.

Looking to Burton, he instructed, “What's going on in the company these days?”

“The projects are being followed up by Mr. Harrison, and everything is normal. A few bosses have

asked you to meet with them, which has been arranged to your schedule afterward. Also, it seems

that there have been

rumors about you and Mrs. Adams in the company recently...”

“I know about it” August frowned slightly and his eyes darkened, “When we get to the office later,

you notify her

to come to see me first.”

Burton responded, “Okay.” When he got to his office, August flipped through the papers his

assistant had just sent up, and before he could look at them carefully, Burton pushed his way in.

“Mr. Adams, Mrs. Adams is not at the office and she is at the hospital.”

“The hospital?” August frowned, “What's going on?”

Burton reported truthfully, “I heard from the administration department that she seems to have an

allergy and is

now in the hospital”

August got a little more serious. He hurriedly got up and walked towards the outside, “Which

hospital?

He didn't realize that he had only been gone for a few days and so many things happened one after

another,

First, there was a rumor about Lucia and him, then a Baron popped up, and now she had an alleray

Burton was a little hesitant, "She's at Central Hospital, Mr. Adams, do you want to go now? Didn“t

you just say

you were going to have a meeting with the executives?”

Hearing this, August scowled, but he did not stop. “go to the hospital!” In less than half an hour,

August and Burton had arrived at the hospital. After knowing the ward number, August looked at

the door unclosed and was about to walk in

Suddenly, a voice came from the ward, “Baron, thank you for sending me to the hospital..”

August stopped and subconsciously clenched his fist.

He didn't expect that it was Baron who sent her here. Did the two of them really...

Another voice came from the ward, “Lucia, I said you could call me if you were in trouble.”

“I know you're very kind, but I'm ashamed that I actually used you.”

Lucia sat on the hospital bed, took a deep breath, and continued, “I took the initiative to find you to

have dinner with me actually to divert people's attention. I didn't want to bring trouble to Mr.

Adams, so I used you, I'm

sorry.”

These words kept inside made her very uncomfortable. Now that she had confessed, she felt a lot

more relayed

At that, Baron smiled bitterly, “Lucia, I know.”

Lucia was confused, “You. know?”

Baron nodded, “Well, I'm just happy to help you when you're having a hard time. I don't care.”

Hearing him say that, Lucia felt even more guilty, so she bit her lip, “Baron, let's just be normal

friends. I owe you

favor this time. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know.” Al these words,

Baron looked gloomy, but he finally nodded, “Okay.”

He wanted to say more, but before he could speak, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open

and the

sound of footsteps came.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the cold-faced August. Baron was startled, “Mr. Adams?”

August glanced at him coldly, “Get out.”

Lucia sitting on the bed was also dumbfounded, “You. you're back?”

The door was closed, and they were the only two people left in the room for a while.

August stepped forward, a coldness emanating from his body.

Lucia looked at him and unconsciously felt guilty, You

August leaned over and propped both hands on the bed, directly surrounding her between his arms and chest. They were suddenly very close to each other.

August could almost see the small mole on Lucia's nose, as wel 5 the small red spots on her face from allergies.

August was exasperated, "Are you not going to tell me if I don't come back?

Lucia's eyes dodged, L.. I was afraid it would affect you.”

August's voice raised 2 bit, “Did I ever tell you that you are my wife and you shouldrit hide anything from mel”

Lucia shuddered, unable to speak for a moment. Looking at the woman going to cry. August suddenly felt a litte self-conscious. Just now at the door, he heard

Lucia and Baron's conversation. He then realized that her real purpose in looking for Baron was to protect him. But he vas strong and didnt need her

protection.

Chapter 031

He was angry and helpless. Once he looked down and saw Lucia with tears in her eyes, very piu, he was

softened. He slightly straightened up, his voice softer, Take off your clothes and let me have a look." "Huh?" Lucia thought she had heard wrong, Take of. take

off my clothes for what!” August frowned, “Aren't you allergic? At this time, she was sil thinking about nonsense.

Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and lifted her sleeves a bit, “After the infusion, Im already better. The doctor also prescribed some medicines and Il be

fine soon August took a look at the dense layer of red rash on Luci's small white arms and frowned, “Do you know how did it happen Lucia sad softly, “The

doctor found out the allergen is mango. Maybe there is mango in the vegetable and fruit juice in the canteen today” She hadn't even figured out the specific

reason yet, August's face was somber, I just asked Burton to ask the canteen staff and they said there is no mango in the

rut and vegetable juice today.” After hearing this, Lucia was a ttle surprised
