Since Lucia embarrassed Lisa in front of her colleagues in the desk area of the department, the way
they looked at Lucia had a subtle change.
"You know what, Lucia, since you told Lisa to shut up last time, no one in the department dares to
gossip about you these days." Lucia stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon and said absent-
mindedly, "Really?"
"Yes!"
Emma nodded vigorously.
"Now I know that our colleagues all bully the weak and fear the tough.
If they dare to gossip about you again, just teach them a lesson!" Hearing that, Lucia couldn’t help but
curve her lips. The reason why she did that to Lisa last time was that she couldn’t get rid of the anger in
her heart.
It happened that Lisa deliberately made fun of her, so she blurted it out. Thinking about it now, she
found it really cool. Emma took a sip of her juice and sighed, "It’s the end of the month again.
We have so many papers to summarize.
It’s really annoying." Lucia looked up at the overcast sky outside the window.
For some reason, her mood darkened as well. She was not afraid of the end of the month, but of the
endless wait. She had promised August that she would help him take down Ted, but now she didn’t
even know when he was going to make his move or what his plan was. "Buzz." The phone in her
pocket suddenly vibrated.
Lucia took it out and saw that it was Mrs.Mitchell calling.
She gestured to Emma, who was next to her, before getting up and walking to the window, where she
answered the call.
"Hello, Mom?" ans Mrs.Mitchell’s panicked voice came from the other end.
"Lucia! Where are you? Come to the hospital. Your dad is sick!" "What?" Lucia’s head buzzed and she
hurriedly asked, "What happened? What hospital is he in?"
Mrs.Mitchell said anxiously, "He was giving a lecture this morning when he suddenly had a heart attack
and collapsed in the classroom.
Come over now! He is in the Second Central Hospital." "I’m..
I’m on my way!" In an instant, her heart was in her throat.
She hung up the phone almost trembling and tears instantly came out of her eyes. Looking at Emma
who was puzzled, Lucia said in a quivering voice, "My dad was sick.
Emma, please ask for leave for me." Emma was also stunned.
"Okay, I will...Just go!" Regardless of anything else, Lucia ran towards the elevator in panic.
Mr.Mitchell had was under control, but unexpectedly, the thing she feared most happened! The elevator
reached the first floor.
She rushed out as soon as the door opened. August just came back to the company after having lunch
with the client he had met in the morning.
At the entrance, he saw Lucia rushing over in a great hurry from a distance. Her eyes were red.
She was so panicked that she didn’t stop even if she bumped into someone.
Seeing that, he turned to ask Burton, who was next to him, "What’s wrong with her?" Burton looked
puzzled.
"I don’t know." out his hand and grabbed her arm.
"Lucia!" Lucia turned around and saw that it was August.
With little hesitation, she tried to shake his hand off.
"Let go of me!"
August refused to let go of her arm.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Lucia was almost crying in anxiety.
Her voice was trembling.
"My dad was sick.
He’s in the hospital now!" take you there!" Seeing August’s car outside the company, Lucia said, "The
Second Central Hospital!"
At this moment, she would take anyone’s car as long as she could get to the hospital quickly! Rushing
to the hospital, Lucia dashed to the operating room and saw Mrs.Mitchell pacing anxiously outside the
door.
"Mom!"
"Lucia, you’re finally here!"
When she saw Lucia, Mrs.Mitchell rushed up to hug her daughter.
Her eyes were red..
Tears kept coming out of her eyes when Lucia heard her mother’s slightly comfort both Mrs.Mitchell
and herself.
August came up.
He looked at Mrs.Mitchell and nodded at her.
"Hello, Mrs.Mitchell." When she saw August, Mrs.Mitchell immediately raised her hand to wipe her
tears, and she sounded a bit calmer.
"Hello, August." With that, she raised her eyes to look at Lucia, trying to say something. Lucia knew
what she meant and said softly, "I met him at the entrance of the company.
He just took me to the hospital." There was no more than that Mre Mitchell sighed, held Lucia’s hand
tightly, and said nothing more at last After another half hout the red light outside the operating room
finally went off When the door opened, the doctor came out Lucia went over with Mrs.Mitchell and
asked, "How is my lather doing Doctor? "He is out of the kife threatening condition, but he still needs to
be "Okay?" Hearing that Mr Mitchell was okay.
Lucia breathed a long sigh of relief Lucia and Mrs Mitchell couldn’t see him until the nurse wheeled him
into the ward Mr Mitchell was lying on the bed with a bloodless face He smiled weakly at them Tm fine
Don’t worry Looking at her father like this, Lucia was heartbroken and her tears kept falling Usually,
when Mr Mitchell was fine, she didnt feel anything but now seeing him lying there, pale and fragile, she
really felt scared Lucia didn’t want to cry in front of her father, but than she ran into a broad chest She
looked up with her tearful eyes and met the man’s pocket, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her
"Wipe it Lucia hesitated for a moment before she reached out to take it When she looked down, she
saw that he was holding lots of things in his hand a thermos, a basie, a lunch box and all sorts of other
things She paused "You shopping August looked at her and said lightly, "Wipe your face mi go see Me
Mitchell With that he opened the door of the ward and walked in Lucia wiped the tears from her face
with the handkerchief and tumed around to go back into the word as well Right after she walked into
the ward she saw Mi Mitchell, who was on the bed to August Lucia looked at August and then at her
father on the bed She said somewhat uneasily Dad Mi Mitchell was determined and said again you get
ut now Heaning that Lucia and Mrs Mitchell looked at each other and walked out of the room together
With the door of the room closed, she telt increasingly weasy my her heart Her tather was left with
August alone What did he want to talk to August about?
