"Of course I trust you!"
Paula did not hesitate and said directly, "You didn’t even dare to hold hands with Archibald in college, so it’s impossible for you to do such a thing! I would have intended to explain to Mr.Mitchel, but Mrs.Mitchell stopped me and told me that based on his state of health, it would be better not to mention it, so I didn't say anything."
Listening to Paula’s constant nagging, Lucia came back to her senses and said softly, "I'm still clear about my dad's temper, and it will not be easy to eliminate his anger.
"So what are you going to do?"
Lucia hesitated for a moment and said lightly, "Let's wait until after today, tomorrow I'll go to the hospital again and explain to him."
Although they had figured out what happened to her dad, it was not suitable to explain at this time, what's more, she didn’t even make certain who sent that anonymous letter.
"Paula, can you do me one more favor?"
Lucia took a deep breath, "Can you help me find out who did this?"
Paula said decisively, "Even if you do not say I will go to investigate!"
Lucia was relieved by her words and finally smiled.
"Lucia, do you think this could be a trick of August? After all, he was portrayed as the victim in this incident, but you were framed as a woman who betrayed your marriage..."
Lucia was stunned and without waiting for Paula to finish her sentence, she subconsciously denied, "It shouldn't be him..."
Paula sighed and said softly, "Forget it, you should not think too much, have a good rest, and go to the hospital early tomorrow."
Lucia lowered her head worriedly and responded, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lucia sat on the sofa, and couldn't help but wonder why her divorce affair was involved in this incident.
Lucia was in a proper mess, tossed and turned almost all night, until the early morning, only then drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Lucia woke up and left home in a hurry to go to the hospital.
No matter who sent that anonymous letter and what his intention was, she had to go to explain to her dad clearly.
When she arrived outside the ward, Lucia had forgotten all the words she had thought of in her mind, and she stood at the door, hesitant to move forward.
After a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to raise her hand and knock on the door.
Seeing Lucia walking into the ward, Bill, who was reading a newspaper, abruptly looked sullen.
"Dad, I have something to tell you."
Lucia bit her lip, the fist hanging at her side clenched, and stepped forward.
Elisa on the side, afraid that Bill was angry again, quickly got up a hand to press his shoulder and comforted, "Bill, you first do not get angry, listen to Lucia explain..."
Bill threw the newspaper in his hand to the side and coldly snorted, "What else is there to explain? Can I still be fooled by what I saw with my own eyes?"
"Dad, I heard Paula tell me about those photos, this is absolutely impossible, after graduating from college, except for August, I have not had any contact with other men at all, let alone any cheating on any men!"
Lucia said with tears in her eyes.
Bill hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of those photos, anger surged up uncontrollably.
His chest heaving with anger and gasped violently, "Those photos are right in front of my eyes, how do you expect me to believe you!"
Lucia sobbed, "Dad, do you trust me?"
Bill was silent for a short time, and then he turned his head and looked at Lucia with a deep gaze, "What you just said is all true?"
Lucia nodded forcefully and said in an affirmative tone, "Really!"
"Okay, then we'll go to find August to prove your innocence!"
Ignoring Elisa's dissuasion, Bill lifted the quilt to get out of bed.
Elisa was startled and quickly advised, "Bill, what are you doing? You should take care of your body..." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Bill raised his head and looked at her with a serious face, "If you don't let me go, I will turn over in my grave!"
As a college professor, he paid the most attention to his daughter's education since she was a child, so if such a scandal really happened, how could he pretend not to know anything? Elisa saw he was
stubborn to find August, had to sigh and agreed.
Lucia could see that her father was determined, and it was clear that it was useless to persuade him, so she had to leave the hospital with him and go to find August.
In fact, she also wanted to ask if this matter had anything to do with August or not.
When she arrived at the gate of the villa, Lucia looked at this familiar villa and felt regret because it used to be her and August's wedding house, and she also didn't expect that she would come back here again because of such a thing.
After pressing the doorbell, someone came to open the door soon after.
Turner crossed the courtyard and walked to the front door, when she saw Lucia outside the door, she was surprised, "Miss Mitchell, why are you here?"
Seeing Turner, Lucia's heart warmed up, nodded with a smile, and said, "We're here to find August."
Turner immediately opened the door and invited them in, "Mr.Adams is at home, please come in first."
When she returned to the familiar living room, Lucia's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and not long after, the sound of footsteps came from the stairway.
August walked downstairs in casual clothes and greeted gently, "Mr.Mitchell and Mrs.Mitchell, why are you here?"
Bill got up with a serious expression and said, "August, today we came over, actually came to apologize to you."
A trace of surprise flashed in August's eyes, his gaze lightly swept over Lucia and asked in a light voice, "Why are you apologizing?"
Lucia stood by, and also did not expect Bill to apologize as soon as they arrived.
She wanted to say something but did not know how to start.
Bill frowned, sighed and said, "August, we did not ask more why your divorce, but now I already knew that Lucia had made mistakes in your marriage.It's my fault for not disciplining my daughter, so I should apologize to you."
Lucia was slightly stunned because his direct apology seemed to admit she had betrayed their marriage.
However, they came over just to learn more about the truth of their divorce, didn’t they? August frowned slightly and immediately stretched out his hand to support Bill and asked, "Mr.Mitchell, there is no such thing."
Bill slightly paused, "I...I received an envelope yesterday, which had some pictures of Lucia and other men, and a letter saying that it was because of Lucia that you divorced..."
August directly denied, "It's impossible.I divorced Lucia because of inappropriateness, there is no other reason."
Hearing his words, for some reason, Lucia’s heart sank, and felt depressed.
