They Had Both Fought Their Lives For The Same Man
Hearing this, Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she could see that August was not quite right,
"What's the matter?"
August pursed his lips, and said in a cold tone, "My mother always made this soup for me."
Lucia was stunned.She suddenly thought of what Joshua had said and realized something.
This was the first time she had heard August mention his mother.
Although it was just a simple sentence, her heart sank.
She took a deep breath and blurted out, "If you like it, I'll cook it for you again in a couple of days."
When August heard her words, he raised his eyes and looked at her with deep eyes.
At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, followed by an anxious voice,
"August, why are you..."
Jeanne rushed in anxiously.
When she saw Lucia standing beside the bed, she suddenly froze and fell silent.
Lucia was also stunned for a moment.She hadn't expected Jeanne to appear suddenly.She was also a
little nervous and somehow felt a little guilty.
Jeanne's eyes stayed on her for a short time.
She turned to August on the bed, stepped forward anxiously, and hurriedly asked, "August, how are
you? Where are you hurt?"
August said lightly, "I'm fine."
"I just came back from Sulan Island with my mother.When I got off the plane and heard that you had an
accident, I rushed over immediately."
Jeanne's voice was a bit complaining and trembling, and she was almost crying, "Why didn't you tell
me?"
When August raised his eyes and saw her teary eyes, he softened a little, "I don't want you to worry.I'm
fine."
Jeanne kept crying and fell into August's arms, and complained, "You didn't tell me, so I'm more
worried!"
"Okay, I'll remember to tell you next time."
"What next time? You still want the next time!"
Standing aside, Lucia suddenly felt like a third wheel.She bit her lips, looked away, and walked out
lightly.
Seeing that she was about to leave, August frowned slightly, and was about to speak when Jeanne
suddenly raised her head and asked him, "Does your wound still hurt?"
"Don't worry.It's much better."
He looked up again, and Lucia was gone.
Outside the door, Lucia bit her lips and her nose felt a little sour.She took a deep breath and walked
forward.She somehow felt very upset.
When she saw the scene of August and Jeanne together, she had an inexplicable emotion in her heart.
Walking through a corridor, she slowly adjusted her emotions.
Before she reached the elevator entrance, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, followed by a
thin female voice, "Ms.Mitchell, please wait a moment."
Lucia turned around and saw Jeanne standing not far behind her.
Lucia was a little puzzled, "Miss Kelly?"
Jeanne smiled at her and said, "I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Lucia probably guessed something in her heart.She gathered up her courage, nodded,
and followed Jeanne.
After walking into an empty ward, Jeanne locked the door without saying a word.
Lucia stood aside, feeling confused, "Miss Kelly, what are you..."
"It's fine."
Jeanne smiled at her, "I'm afraid others will disturb us."
With that, she walked into the ward.
Her face was calm, and Lucia could not see any emotions.
Suddenly, she turned around, looked at Lucia, and smiled, "Thank you for your care and concern for
August during this time."
Then she paused, "Actually, I know about your previous relationship with August."
As soon as she said this, Lucia's expression changed slightly.
Obviously, she hadn't expected that Jeanne would know it and even tell her calmly now.
Immediately, she was even more uneasy, and she didn't know how to face Jeanne, "I..."
Jeanne stretched out her hand, patted her shoulder lightly, and said in a soothing tone, "Don't think too
much.I don't mean to blame you.On the contrary, I am very grateful to you for being there with August
when I was sick."
Lucia was slightly startled.
When she met Jeanne's gentle eyes, she felt even more guilty and didn't know what to say.
Technically speaking, her sudden appearance affected Jeanne and August's relationship.She was
surprised that Jeanne didn't blame her in the end.
"Miss Kelly, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay."
Jeanne smiled casually.But the moment Lucia lowered her head, a cold light flashed in Jeanne's eyes.
"I know you saved August's life this time and the two of us are quite grateful."
Jeanne smiled and suddenly lifted her shirt slightly, revealing her slender waist.
Lucia was stunned.She didn't understand what she was doing when Jeanne lifted her shirt up.But she
soon saw a scar an inch up Jeanne's waist.
The five-centimeter-long scar was a bit dazzling on her waist.
Lucia frowned, "This is..."
Jeanne smiled, "I blocked a knife for August.This is the scar."
She put down her shirt and said half-jokingly, "Speaking of which, we have both fought our lives for the
same man."When Lucia heard this, her heart sank.Compared to Jeanne, she had just stopped the car
and saved August's life.It was no big deal.No wonder the person that August had cherished the most
was Jeanne.She was generous, knowledgeable, and courteous.
She had stayed by his side for so many years and even blocked a knife for him.
What man would not cherish such a woman? Compared to Jeanne, what she had done was nothing.
Seeing Lucia stunned, Jeanne held her hand and said affectionately, "Lucia, I've always regarded you
as a friend.I wouldn't ask much about your relationship with August before, but you know what, the
biggest wish in my life is to marry him.I hope he will belong to me completely in the future, do you
understand?"
She didn't say it directly, but the implication was very clear.
How could Lucia not know what she meant? She forced a smile, met Jeanne's eyes, and said softly,
"Don't worry.He belongs to you completely, always."
When Jeanne heard this, she stepped forward a little excitedly and wanted to put her arms around her,
"Thank you for understanding me."
Lucia didn't listen to what she said after that.She came out of the ward and left the hospital with an
empty heart.She knew very well that Jeanne had respected her enough by saying such a thing to her.
There was no embarrassment often seen between an ex-girlfriend and the current one, and Jeanne
didn't ridicule her.
She was reminding her most gently that she wanted Lucia to keep her distance from August.
She probably wouldn't be as generous as Jeanne under the same circumstance.
August chose Jeanne for a reason.
There was a burst of sadness in her heart.
Lucia took out her phone and called Paula, trying to clear her emotions.
As soon as the call was answered, she said, "Paula, let's go to a bar to have a drink together tonight,
ok?"
There was a pause for two seconds on the other end of the phone, and then came a slightly concerned
male voice, "Lucia, what's the matter with you?"
When Lucia heard the voice, she instantly woke up a little.She recognized Paul's voice, and quickly
asked, "Where is...Paula?"
Paul said slowly, "She went to the bathroom.What's the matter with you? Why do you suddenly want to
have a drink?"
