Chapter 062

He had just returned from another woman? The thought passed through Lucia's mind, but she ruled

it out again after a few seconds. August was not that kind of man. Even if they had a little emotional

foundation, he would not treat their marriage this way. Seeing her standing at the stairway for a

long time, Turner rushed over to ask, "Mrs. Adams, what's wrong?" Lucia murmured, "August

doesn't seem happy.” Turner quickly comforted, "He may be too tired from work and you do not

think too much.” ;

Lucia nodded, but still felt a little strange. Seeing this, Turner sighed and advised softly, "Why don't I

make a pot of white tea and you bring it up to Mr. Adams?"

Lucia nodded hastily, "Okay." When they were at Lakeside Manor before, it was August who

defended her and helped her. Now when she saw him in a bad mood, she was more or less worried

After the white tea was brewed, Lucia carried the tray and went directly to the door of the study.

She knocked on the door, "Turner made you some tea. Do you want to drink?" There was no

response from inside, so Lucia took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door of the study open.

She looked inside and saw that it was smoky and very dim, with only the floor lamp next to the

couch in the corner on. In the darkness, Lucia hardly recognized August's cold face and saw the

cigarette butt caught in his fingertips for a while

light and then dark. August turned his head and looked at her sharply, coldly, and without any

emotion, "Get out!"

Lucia froze and suddenly did not know what to say. When she heard his words, her heart sank, as if

a layer of frost had been placed on her heart. She walked out, closed the

door behind her, and stood in the doorway for a long time. Was he really the August she knew? Was

he really the August who was going to marry her and get the marriage certificate in the first place?

Was he really the August who gently put the ring on her finger? Did he encounter something that

couldn't be solved? Lucia bit her lip, pushed down her aggression, and left with the tray. In the

room, August sat on the couch and his deep dark eyes were filled with mixed emotions. He kept

thinking of Jeanne crying and begging him, of her vomiting and ashen face after the hemodialysis

Originally, the day after tomorrow was the time to schedule the surgery, but Lucia got sick, so

everything had to be postponed, and the surgery had to be rescheduled... Taking a deep breath,

August took out his cell phone and called Dr. Lambert, "Hey, Dr. Lambert, you come to the house

tomorrow and give Lucia a physical conditioning..." Now, only Lucia quickly recovered, and Jeanne's

surgery could be arranged as soon as possible. And this time, he had to be

ruthless and found a chance to tell her the truth about this matter clearly. Other things could be

delayed, but Jeanne's illness couldn't be delayed. The next morning, Lucia had just had breakfast

and was about to change her clothes to go back to the office when she

bumped into August who was coming down the stairs. August glanced at her and said lightly, "You

don't have to go to the office these days. You should recuperate well at home and your health is the

most important.” Hearing his sudden concern, Lucia froze for a moment, then said softly, It's okay. I

think I'm almost well enough and I'll carry the medicines with me..."

No." August frowned and said firmly and coldly, "Dr. Lambert will come later to check on your

health and prescribe some

Chinese medicines for you to take care of your body.

Lucia was speechless, not knowing how to answer him anymore. After looking at the man's serious

look, she had to nod her head and agree with him. He seemed to be caring for her, but he didn't

feel any warmth. Ever since she came back from her fainting spell at the manor,

his attitude towards her had completely changed. Did she give him any trouble? The more she

thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Lucia went back to her room, picked up

her cell phone, and secretly called Emma. "Hello, Emma.” "Lucia! You finally thought of calling me!

How are you doing? Are you recovering?" Hearing Emma's excited voice coming through the

phone, Lucia smiled crookedly and said softly, "I probably won't be back to work for another two

days. Emma, I have something to ask you..." Emma said, "What is it?"

"I just wanted to know what happened the day I was taken to the hospital. I heard it was you and

Carter who took me there..."

"Yeah, the team-building activities were also over that day. Carter and I went home early, and

everyone came back later on the

bus."

"What about Mr. Adams?"

"Mr. Adams seemed to have something to do and left very early.”

Hearing Emma say so, Lucia gave a hmm, but she was even more puzzled. "Lucia, what's wrong? Is

there something wrong?" Lucia said softly, "It's okay. I'm just checking. Thanks to you and Carter

and I'll treat you to dinner someday." "We are all colleagues and don't be so polite. Okay, no more

talk, and I have to write the plan!"

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lucia was silent for a long time. According to Emma,

August left very early that day. She fainted and was taken to the hospital by

Carter and Emma. In theory, she didn't cause him any trouble, but why did he treat

her so differently these days? Before she could figure out what was going on, there was a knock at

the door, "Mrs. Adams, Dr. Lambert is here. Is it

convenient for you?" Lucia heard the calling and immediately got up to open the door. Seeing

Turner and Dr. Lambert outside the door, she nodded at them and gestured, "Yes." After inquiring

about her basic symptoms, Dr. Lambert knew her health condition and left the Chinese medicines

prepared in advance, instructing Turner to heat them twice a day before Lucia drank. Before leaving,

Dr. Lambert looked at Lucia and smiled kindly, "Old Mrs. Adams is right and you are indeed a better

match for August.” Hearing that, Lucia froze. Hearing what he called August, she knew that the

relationship between Dr. Lambert and the Adams family was special. After a pause, she smiled and

asked jokingly, "A better match? Is there another woman who doesn't match well for him before?”

At that, Dr. Lamber froze, then smiled, "Even if there is such a woman, she and August are over. You

recuperate well, stick to the medicine and get well." After saying that, he carried the medicine box

and left. As Lucia stood still and watched Dr. Lambert disappear at the door, her heart sank.

Combining these details, including the words of Dr. Lambert, the perfume smell on August, and the

mysterious Jeanne, she was almost certain that August had another woman. She didn't care about

August's previous emotional experiences, but now that they had gotten a marriage certificate, she

couldn't accept that there was another woman around him, which was her principal and bottom

line. When she was upset, Lucia's cell phone suddenly vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was

Paula calling.

She was shocked and answered the phone, "Hello, Paula, why are you calling me?" Paula

deliberately kept her in suspense, and there was real excitement in her tone, "Lucia, guess where I

am?" "What? Are you back?" Paula laughed, "Yes! I have a performance in Washington and I might

be able to see you in a couple of days!" Lucia smiled crookedly, but her mood was still not good.

She lightly responded, "It's fine."

Paula on the other end of the phone finally noticed Lucia's difference, paused for a moment, and

then asked, "Lucia, what's wrong with you?"

if he was going to say it sooner or later, why didn't he just tell her now? August stopped, frowned,

and suppressed the anger in his eyes. He was already anxious because of Jeanne's surgery and the

company’s business. Now he had to face Lucia's questioning when he got home, so he was naturally

annoyed. He spoke, his voice sounding like it was rolling in his throat, "Do you have to have an

answer today?"

Lucia clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, "Yes." She just wanted him to give her an answer!

August scowled and his lips pursed into a line. A moment later, he lifted his lips and said, "If you

think so.” After saying this, he let go of her and walked away, leaving Lucia alone in the same place.

As expected, he really had another woman. Lucia was so disappointed that she felt her limbs a little

numb. She sucked in a mouthful of cold air and took a long time to

slow down. At first, she felt she was married to a perfect man and even without feelings, they could

slowly cultivate and lived well. But now, the reality was like a basin of ice water that splashed her

awake directly. Tossing in bed, Lucia stayed awake all night. By the time dawn broke, Lucia rubbed

her astringent eyes before falling asleep, still in a messy mood. When she woke up, it was already

noon. Lucia went downstairs and had something to eat. Then, she drank her medicine and

sat bored in the living room. August didn't let her go to the office, but she had nothing to do at

home, so, she could easily think about August and got even more troubled. Suddenly, the cell

phone on the table vibrated. Picking it up and seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Lucia took a

deep breath and absentmindedly pressed the answer button, "Hello?" A nice male voice with a smile

came from the other end of the phone, "Do you miss me?"

Lucia froze and instantly sobered up a bit. She had thought it was a harassing call, but the caller

baffled her with the first

sentence.

“Who..who are you?" Were all harassing phone calls nowadays so special? The caller laughed even more happily, "Lucia, don't you even

remember me?" Lucia froze for a moment and suddenly remembered a certain face. Then she responded, “Ja-Jamie?” I knew you couldn't have

forgotten me. Jamie said fiitatiously as always, "You still owe me a meal, remember?” Lucia took a deep breath, which calmed her down a bit, "I

remember.” "Let's go eat tonight and I've already subscribed the dining room.” Lucia hesitated for a moment, *L..* She was not in the mood to

go out for dinner right now, let alone have to deal with him. "What? No time?" Jamie smiled,

“Or do you want to renege on the biz". Hearing what he said, Lucia was speechless at once. She did promise Jamie that she owed him a meal,

and it just so happened that she had nothing to do at home, so she might as well promise him.

“Okay, you send me the address." "Okay, Il send it now.” Not long after, Luca's phone vibrated and she received a text message. Lucia suddenly

remembered something, “By the way, how do you know my cell phone number?

Jamie smiled to his heart's content, 1 can know whenever I want.

Lucia helplessly said, "Okay. He could even find out her relationship with August, not to mention her cell phone number.

lucia said, about to hang up, "That's it

Before she hung up, Jamie's voice came from the other side of the phone, "By the way, remember to dress formally for the

night!”
