Chapter 114

In the ward, the two men looked at each other. It was terribly quiet at the moment. Finally, August opened his mouth to break the strange atmosphere. "What can I do for you, Mr. Mitchell?" Mr. Mitchell gazed at him and sighed as his pale lips moved. "As best doctor for you..." Before August could finish his words, Mr. Mitchell slowly raised his hand, gesturing for August to stop'® talking'®

that. Now the only one I'm worried about is Lucia."'®

With that, he raised his eyes and looked at August with mixed feelings.'®

He had married his beloved daughter to August, who was one of his best students, and thought that they'

would get along well, but unexpectedly...'

A hint of guilt flickered in August's eye. He raised his eyes to look at Mr. Mitchell, took a deep breath and'

said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitchell, but I didn't do what I promised you."'

Mr. Mitchell shook his head. "All couples don't remain together till the end of their lives. However, I still'

hope that you can take care of Lucia for me. It would be best if you two can get back together. If not, I'

won't force you, but I hope you can at least help her once in a while as a friend."'

and that August'

obviously had the ability to protect her.'

his face changed slightly when August heard that. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mitchell. I know what to do."'

He had already owed a lot to Lucia. Moreover, he was her ex-husband. This request from Mr. Mitchell was'

not too much. Mr. Mitchell's eyes glinted. "You'll... take care of her for me?" August curved his lips and reassured him, "Yes, I will. Get well soon, Mr. Mitchell. Don't worry." Hearing his promise, Mr. Mitchell was secretly relieved. He nodded his head repeatedly with tears in his'

eyes. "I knew I was right in believing you."'

He could only rest assured when he left Lucia with August Meanwhile, Lucia was pacing nag, "Can't you keep calm, Lucia?" Lucia frowned, feeling uneasy. "Do you think Dad would say something he shouldn't say to August, Mom?" Mrs. Mitchell immediately asked, "So what if he would? Anyway, you're divorced now. What else do you'®

have to worry about?"'®

Heaning that, Lucia froze'®

Mrs Mitchell was right. She and August were divorced now, so she had nothing else to worry about' still love him?'

Those words made Lucia's cheeks burn and she felt a bit sheepish in her heart'®

After a few seconds, she raised her voice deliberately and said, "Of course not. How can I love him? I'm divorced from him!"'®

No sooner had she finished her words than the door of the ward suddenly opened with a click, and Lucia' froze'

After a moment, she immediately turned around and met August's deep, dark eyes'

He frowned slightly and his face darkened visibly'

Apparently, he had heard what she said just now!'®

At that moment Lucia wanted to find a hole to hide in' It was so embarrassing!'

August's eyes lingered on her briefly before his face turned back to normal He gently closed the door of'

the ward behind him and looked at Mrs Mitchell. "Mr Mitchell has just fallen asleep, Mrs Mitchell If'

there is nothing else, I will leave now'

Mrs. Mitchell nodded and looked at Lucia, saying. "You can leave as well. You have to work in the'

afternoon, and I'll stay here alone with your father''

Lucia followed August. The two of thern entered the elevator, one after the other, without speaking to' each other'

Lucia was squeezed into a corner. Next to her was a middle aged man with a big belly. His beer belly'®

With her back to the corner Lucia was blocked by August in front of her Seeing that, the middle aged'

man touched his nose in embarrassment and stopped trying to move close'

Face to face, Lucia and August were so close to each other that she could not only smell the faint scent'

of fase fragrance but also feel his body heat through the thin fabric of his clothes' onto her'

forehead, where she felt itchy, tingly and hot.'

It was the first time that she had been so close to August face to face.'®

Before Lucia knew it, there was a slight flush on her cheeks and her breath was hot. said quickly, "I didn't say anything!" She hadn't expected at the time that he would happen to hear what she said. She felt like she had done something wrong and been caught directly by the person affected. Seeing her reaction, August raised his eyebrows. "Really?" He had heard it clearly and kept it in mind. The man drawled as he said the word, with some lingering charm. Lucia's heart skipped a beat and started pounding involuntarily. Finally, the elevator reached the first floor. At the sound of a "ding", Lucia breathed a long sigh of relief. Out of the elevator, Lucia followed August diagonally, not too far away from or close to him, and kept half a step slower. She was still wondering until they got to the entrance of the hospital if she should forward and suddenly noticed that the woman was not following him. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. Lucia took a deep breath. She stepped forward, met his gaze and gathered her courage to say, "You can leave without me if you have something else to do. I'll go back to the company by taxi." August said in a cold

voice, "I'm going back to the company."'®

Hearing that, Lucia was still hesitant.'®
