She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 68

Seeing his mommy look surprised, Theodore raised his hand and waved his phone. It turned out he had Alice locate Arthur's location again. If it was in the usual, Lucia would have taught Theodore not to invade other people's privacy, not even his own father, but now, she really appreciated her son being so resourceful.

Lucia and Theodore finally made it to Municipal Harmony Hospital, but they didn't know where Arthur's ward was, and they couldn't find out by asking at the inpatient unit.

While Lucia was trying to find ways to get the word out of the staff, Arthur, who was in the ward, was not having a good time either, because ... it had been a long time since Kyle had just come up to inform, so why had Lucia and Theodore not shown up yet?

Of course, Arthur will not say the doubt, and now the people who accompanied by him was the world's most knowledgeable mother. Sophie had long found Arthur was distracted when talking to her. He always glanced at the door. Without asking, she knew what was in his mind.

"I am going to the bathroom. Lie still." Sophie suddenly stood up and said to Arthur, and then walked out of the ward with her cell phone in her hand.

"It's strange. We're in a deluxe ward. Isn't the toilet inside?" Kyle, who was standing by the door, muttered.

As soon as Sophie left the ward, she went to the nurses' station and asked for the phone number of the inpatient front desk. She called and asked if there was a woman with a child asking about Arthur. When the person there said there were such people, she told the person to give Arthur's ward number to Lucia.

Downstairs, Lucia suddenly got Arthur's ward number and thought the staff was convinced by her, so she busily picked up the child and rushed upstairs.

Sophie went back to the ward as soon as she hung up the phone. Arthur knew what she was doing, and in a few moments, she saw Lucia panting and holding Theodore in front of the ward.

"Daddy!" Theodore shouted as soon as he saw Arthur who was lying on the hospital bed. He was twisting his body to get down from his mother's arms. Lucia hurriedly put him down, and the little guy rushed to Arthur on the hospital bed like an arrow as soon as he hit the ground.

"Theodore," Arthur was naturally happy to see Theodore. However, before he wanted to get up to hug him, he found that his left leg was not convenient, so he simply stretched out his long hands and held the tiny child onto the bed, cradling him in his arms.

"Daddy, are you hurt badly?" Theodore was carefully lying in Arthur's arms, and afraid that he would touch his wounds. With his a pair of large eyes, he looked at Arthur's injuries.

"Daddy's fine." Arthur replied with a smile. Seeing his four year old son was so concerned about him, Arthur's heart was overflowing with fatherly love.

Lucia stood alone in the doorway. She really wanted to jump over and hug Arthur and say sorry. It was because of her that he was hurt. She also wanted to ask him if he was hurt badly and where the injuries were, but now Lucia could only stand in the doorway, as if she was an outsider.

Sophie soon found out Lucia's embarrassment. She hurriedly stood up and walked over to pull Lucia into the ward, chanting, "Why did you come out without a jacket? Are you cold?"

When Sophie saw Lucia wearing only a sweater, she was sure that Lucia was still in love with Arthur. Otherwise, she was so afraid of the cold, why would she rush to Arthur after knowing that he was in a car accident without even putting on a jacket?

While Sophie was concerned about Lucia, Arthur kept glancing over and listening to what they were saying even though he was talking to his son, and picked up his ears.

"I'm not cold ..." Lucia could only choose to answer this way. She could not say she ran out in such a hurry because she was worried and anxious. However, this lie she told was not even a lie.

Sophie also began to feel sorry for Lucia. She hurriedly asked Kyle to close the door of the ward, and then raised the temperature of the air conditioning. She was afraid that Lucia would catch a cold therefore and can not take care of her son.

Now Sophie was already figuring out how to leave her son in Lucia's care.

Entering the ward and standing by the end of the bed, Lucia inevitably saw Arthur and was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you ... okay?"

Lucia actually knew that the most sensible thing to do was not to show up. But if she didn't come here, she would really worry about Arthur. Those concerns, in front of Arthur who had the car accident, had become less important. She must be sure with her own eyes that Arthur was okay.

"It's a minor thing. A minor injury." Arthur replied indifferently, then looked down to talk with his son again, as if he was intentionally leaving Lucia alone, but Sophie was anxious.

She came to see him in a hurry, and this was his attitude?

Sophie scolded her son in her heart without mercy. Seeing that he was using Theodore as a shield, she simply walked over to the bed and stiffly carried her grandson out of her son's arms.

Sophie: "Theodore now happens to be in the hospital. Last time we talked about giving him a vision check to see if phone has any effect. I'll take him down to see ..."

Theodore quickly understood his grandmother's meaning and wrapped his arms around her neck, but when he reached the door, Kyle, who was standing there, asked a puzzled question, "Madam, it's night time. The doctors in charge of checking eyesight in the hospital should be off work by now ..."

As he just finished talking, Kyle was watched by both Sophie and Theodore at the same time. Sophie gestured to him and let him follow them. Kyle, who was intimidated, followed obediently out, and had the sense to close the door.

Sophie and Theodore had similar glower!

Once they left, Arthur and Lucia were the only ones left in the ward. Arthur looked down not to see Lucia, while Lucia was standing in a daze and looked at Arthur's left leg which was in a cast.

What should she do? What else can she say now ...?

Lucia was baffled. Her eyes were involuntarily fixed on Arthur's left leg. She was thinking about whether he had broken his leg, and how to move after that ... she had already started thinking about Arthur's food, clothing and shelter afterwards without control.

After today's day encounter, including argument, car accident, hospitalization and bandages, his medication was added with some analgesic effect, and Arthur surprisingly fell asleep.

When Lucia finally got up the courage to say sorry to Arthur, she looked up and saw that his eyes were closed.

Hesitantly, Lucia shouted quietly, "Arthur..."

Arthur, of course, did not move. Lucia increased the volume. He still did not respond. Lucia carefully measured the look of Arthur, and found that this was the natural expression after falling asleep. She was secretly relieved. He really fell asleep...

Once Arthur fell asleep, Lucia was not so stressed. Thinking of the look on his face when he first saw her just now, Lucia didn't feel good. Although ... this was the result she wanted.
