Chapter 182 Lucia was taken aback.
Somehow, an oppressive feeling weighed upon her.
When she rose to her feet after picking up her bag from the ground, she met August's dark and cold eyes.
Why is he here? How did he come here so suddenly? Did he teleport? Lucia was startled and subconsciously hid her injured hand behind her back.
"Hi, Mr.Holland..."
Why did he suddenly come over? Did he hurry over because he knew Adeline got a sprained ankle? August's eyes were cold and dark, his brows furrowing.
What Lucia did displease him even more.
"Why are you hiding your hands?"
Because she doesn't want me to notice her injury? She's probably still unaware that the live broadcast of her testing the product's safety with her fingers has gone viral on the Internet.
Lucia gazed down.
Before she could utter anything more, August grabbed her by the wrist.
"Come with me!" he commanded, his face sullen, his tone authoritative.
"What are you doing?"
Lucia became anxious, and she struggled to break free.
"The event isn't over yet!"
She finally calmed down the crowd, and the event was about to come to an end in a little while.
How could she just leave like this? August frowned upon hearing her words.
"I'll have Peter stay to deal with it."
With that, he dragged her toward his car.
With her teeth gritted, Lucia struggled.
"Let go of me! I'm not leaving!"
I don't want to go with him! Last time, I made it clear that he should Jeave me alone.
What the hell is he doing here? Her resolute attitude caused August to stop abruptly.
He looked back at her, irritation evident in his deep dark eyes.
After pausing for half a second, he said word by word, "You have two choices.Get into the car yourself, or I'll carry you in."
As he spoke, he took half a step closer to her.
Lucia could not help but shake nervously.
She was well aware of what kind of person August was.
This decisive guy was always a man of his word.
If she dared to struggle again, he would most certainly pick her up in public.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
At the thought of that scene, Lucia could not help but twitch her mouth.
After a pause, she looked at August and unconsciously lowered her voice.
"I'll get into it myself."
Upon that, August raised his eyebrows and made way for her.
Lucia sucked in a deep breath and climbed into the car with her teeth clenched, feeling depressed.
Jeez! Why would I have to give in to this guy every time? While she was lost in thought, August had already strode around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.He then quickly started the car and turned around.
The car sped all the way, and soon, it stopped at the gate of a hospital.
Lucia was a little surprised.
Never did she expect that August would take her to the hospital.
After entering the hospital, Lucia was immediately taken to a treatment room without having to register first.
When the doctor caught sight of August, he greeted August respectfully and then began to make preparations without saying anything more.
Lucia was left bewildered.
So did August contact the doctors before we came? Before she could come back to her senses, the nurse next to her unwrapped the tissue bandage on her hand and reminded her in a soft voice, "We're going to disinfect it."
Lucia gave a soft response.
Before she could look over at her hand, she felt a sharp pain, which caused her to tremble subconsciously.
Sssss! She didn't expect it to hurt so much! She gritted her teeth and tried hard not to utter any sound, but sweat started dripping down her forehead.
When August looked down at her grimace of pain, a flash of concern flashed across his face, but it vanished in an instant, and he reverted to his poker face.
He couldn't help but snort coldly.
What an idiot! How could she test it with her hands? She could have used something next to her! I can't believe that she was goaded to do such a stupid thing! Clearly, someone was trying to fool her! But this stupid woman actually fell into the trap! August's irritation grew as he pondered over it.
He pulled out his phone and immediately texted Peter.
[Detain anyone who appears suspicious at the scene.] Recently, quite a lot of strange things happened to Lucia.
August still hadn't figured out the photo problem, and now this had come up.
He couldn't stop himself from overthinking.
After sending the message, he texted Wyatt.
[Check if there is anything fishy about Zachary in the last two days.] After that, he put away his cell phone and looked at Lucia.
The bandage was almost done.
Lucia frowned as if it hurt a lot, but she didn't make a sound from beginning to end.
August frowned slightly.She's really tongue! Despite this thought, for some reason, a mixed feeling welled up inside him.
When the bandages were done, August glanced at Lucia's pale face and looked at the doctor.
"Get a ward for her and keep her here for observation"
Lucia was taken aback by that.She had only suffered some superficial injuries.
Even though it hurt a lot, it was not a head injury.
Why did she need to stay for observation? The doctor was also stunned.
But seeing August's determined look, he immediately ordered a nurse next to him to get a ward for Lucia without saying anything else.
After coming out of the treating room, Lucia, who had been restraining herself for a long time, finally couldn't help but say, "Mr.Holland, thank you for taking me here! I'm fine! I don't need to stay in the hospital."
On hearing her courtesy, August frowned impatiently.
Just then, a nurse came over and said to August, "The ward over there is ready."
Noelle nodded silently and reached out to grab Lucia's wrist, heading toward the ward without saying anything.He was strong and took large steps.
Lucia was nearly dragged all the way, and she flared up when they reached the ward.
With a frown, she shot him an icy stare.
"August Holland, is it fun?"
He agreed to leave me alone, didn't he? Why is he going back on his words now? Noticing her flushed, angry face, August smirked and responded in a flat tone, "It's quite fun."
It was indeed fun to see her being mad.
At the sight of it, Lucia flew into a towering rage.She clenched her teeth, too furious to utter a word for a long time.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at him with a firm and bright gaze.
One word at a time, she asked, "Why do you meddle in my business again and again?"
The moment August heard her questions, he recalled the scene of them quarreling in the company's reception room a few days ago.
At that time, he had indeed made up his mind not to care about her anymore.
Nevertheless, when he watched the live broadcast today, he still could not help but feel bad for her.
Even if he had some other important things to attend to, he still asked Peter to make a U-turn and hurried over to her.
He did not expect that she didn't even appreciate it.
August's eyebrows furrowed even further.
Before he could speak, Lucia suddenly took a step forward, her eyes sparkling with a searching look.
"August, did you fall in love with me? And that's why you can't help caring about me?" she asked, raising her chin slightly.
As soon as she finished her sentence, August was obviously taken aback, and his heart skipped a beat.
A flicker of embarrassment flitted across his face.
The next second, he denied it subconsciously.
How would I possibly fall in love with her? It's so ridiculous!
