She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 393

Spencer stood up instantly when he got the text. The chair nearly fell back because of his movements, and it was ironic that the location where he orchestrated all this was the hotel he shared with the Edwins.

Someone was knocking on the bathroom door. Lucia immediately deleted all the messages and call records she had contacted with Spencer on her phone. Daphne's worried voice sounded outside the door,

"Lucia, are you all right?"

Lucia looked at the time and found that she had been hiding in the bathroom for half an hour, so she quickly replied, "It's okay.I'll come out now."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door, and Daphne stood at the door looking at her worriedly.

"Daphne, sorry. Do you want to use the bathroom?"

"No," Daphne shook her head and asked, "Lucia, what's going on?"

Lucia's eyes flashed, and she forced a smile to ask Daphne, "Why do you ask that?"

"You look..." Daphne continued to stare at Lucia's eyes, and said that she was not sure about her feelings, "Somewhat angry..."

Daphne was very simple, so she was more sensitive to other people's emotional perception.

Lucia was stunned for a second, then lowered her eyes and whispered, "Nothing, you think too much..."

Daphne realized that she made Lucia uncomfortable, so she quickly said, "Lucia, sorry. I was just worried about you..."

"Don't say sorry," Lucia said with a wry smile, "I'm just worried about Teddy's condition, so I'm always in a bad mood, always angry with myself for being powerless. Ans I am afraid of showing too much in front of Arthur and bringing him into my negative emotions too..."

"Lucia..." Daphne was very distressed when she heard Lucia say this, and looked at her with wide eyes, but couldn't say anything comforting.

"It's fine. Teddy will be fine," As a mother, Lucia gently comforted Daphne, who was worried for her, while suffering pain,

"I'm so convinced."

"Well! Teddy will be fine!" Admiring Lucia's strength, Daphne's eyes lit up, and she said firmly, completely forgetting that she had noticed the strangeness of her emotions before.

Lucia breathed a sigh of relief. She was ready to tell a big lie to the person she loved, and she didn't want to lie to anyone else.

Because they were worried about Theodore, and their original purpose was to come for Lucia and Arthur, Eduard and Daphne didn't go anywhere except the hotel and hospital. Daphne, who was abroad for the first time, didn't even give a curious look to the lively city of Chicago, but only cared about the child's condition.

On the other hand, Elliot had to leave because of the company's troubles. He felt guilty for leaving when Teddy's condition deteriorated. He even apologized to the Edwin family. How could Edwin blame his cousin? Everyone had their own life trajectory. He cannot and will not force all people to center on his grandson.

Before he left, Elliot avoided his younger brother Erik and had a separate conversation with Edwin, and told him the truth about Erik's attitude that night. Originally, Elliot didn't want to be too direct. Erik was his biological brother after all, but he was afraid of Edwin would be without precaution. After weighing, he still felt that Edwin should be warned in advance.

"Edwin, Erik doesn't listen to my advice at all. Now that he's made up his mind, he's bound to compete with you. If he really does something, don't be merciful. Even if he will lose anything, I won't blame you. His behavior is too outrageous!"

Edwin sighed and had hoped that Elliot could influence Erik, but now it seemed that there was really no leeway.

"Elliot, don't worry. I do things in a measured way." Erik didn't say too much. The position of family love in his heart remained the same, but it was just a trade-off.

"Of course I'm at ease with you, but I'm afraid that you will be soft-hearted and Erik will take advantage of it." Elliot was full of emotion. Why his brother became like this?

Edwin was very grateful that Elliot can stand on the side of justice. After all, he can't blame him for defending Erik, but he still warned him,

"If that day comes, I will send him to you, and I will never make his situation too embarrassing."

Unexpectedly, Edwin was still considerate. Elliot patted him on the shoulder with emotion, and all the feelings were hidden.

Elliot returned to the British Isles with their children the next day, and now only Erik and his son were left in the hotel. They occasionally went to the hospital to show "concern" to Theodore, but more often they were as leisurely as hosts who felt free to enjoy the comfortable environment in the hotel. And it was just like a vacation.

Edwin didn't blame him and didn't expect Erik and Spencer to really care about Theodore. Recently, he rarely went to the company. Unless there was a major event, several sons also took turns in the hospital. Everyone was anxiously waiting for Theodore's turnaround of illness.

Nearly ten days had passed. Eduard and Daphne had also been in the hospital for four days. Arthur knew that Eduard had a heavy responsibility. As the president of the company, he can accumulate countless documents that needed to be reviewed and approved in one day, affecting the development of the company. He felt his care for his son, but did not want to delay his work.

On the fifth day, Arthur asked Eduard and Daphne to return home.

"Why? Do you think we're annoying?" Eduard said, frowning.

"Go back. Teddy's condition won't turn around in a short time. You all have your own identities and responsibilities to take. Lucia and I are very grateful to you. It's enough to know that you care about Teddy." Arthur sighed softly.

Eduard was silent, and after a while he mumbled, "Why are you talking so seriously all of a sudden..."

He and Arthur had always been at odds with each other, but they knew each other because of Lucia. And the two really became friends without knowing it, so Eduard felt inexplicably uncomfortable to hear him persuade him seriously when he was so anxious.

"Eduard, Daphne, Arthur is right. Teddy is our responsibility. We should pay any price for it, but you are not. Go back." Lucia also said.

Eduard thought for a while, then looked at Daphne and said, "Okay, let's go back first. If there is any change in Teddy, you have to let us know immediately, and don't take care of everything yourself."

"I know." Arthur agreed seriously.

"Now the situation is special, maybe we can't see you off. Eduard, you have to take good care of Daphne along the way, you know?" Lucia did not forget to remind him.
