Chapter 163

At that, Lucia gritted her teeth in annoyance, lifted her chin to meet his eyes, and asked back rather aggressively, "Do you want me to get down on my knees to beg you?"

He had already promised to give the phone number to her, and now was he deliberately making things difficult for her? Was it that people like him just enjoyed the feeling of manipulating others from on high? Or did he think she was like the other women around him, who would worship and admire him all the time? Look at the woman's eyes flashing coldness and detachment, August was slightly stunned.

At this moment, she was like a small hedgehog with thorns all over her body.

Once she was touched, all the thorns on her body would be erected.

Half a second later, his face was somber.

Did he provoke her? Why was she so indifferent today with such hurtful words? With their attitude becoming cold, the atmosphere in the office became very depressing in an instant.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, "pop, pop", then Mary's voice came, "Mr.Adams, there is a document that needs your signature."

August frowned slightly and didn’t say anything, but slowly let go of the hand on the card.

Seeing this, Lucia reached out and picked up the business card with a standard unemotional smile at August, "Thank you, Mr.Adams."

After saying that, she bowed slightly, turned, and walked out.

August looked up at the woman's back as she left, and a dark light flashed across his eyes.

Before he always thought Lucia was a woman who would not resist, but now it seemed not so.

If she became angry, she was not afraid of anyone.

He had always thought that the little girl who blushed easily was an innocent "little white rabbit’, but after the divorce, he knew that she was a wildcat with sharp claws! After coming out of the office, Lucia held the card in her hand and rubbed it back and forth with her fingers, her palm slightly burning.

She had gone through a lot of trouble to get this contact.

Finally, she got the business card and the big stone weighing on her heart disappeared.

After work, she would go to the hospital to find Mr.Mitchell and Mrs.Mitchell, and then contact Dr.Long to discuss the surgery plan.

With this in mind, Lucia felt a little more relaxed, but before she got off work, Mrs.Mitchell called her.

Lucia was discussing the change of planning case with her colleagues in the department when her phone buzzed on her desk.

After she scanned the screen and saw that it was Mrs.Mitchell, she hesitated about whether to answer it.

But when she saw her colleagues waiting for her, she had to hang up the phone first.

After discussing the proposal and waiting for her colleagues to leave, Lucia then had the time to call Mrs.Mitchell back.

"Hello, Mom, what's up?"

When the call was answered, Mrs.Mitchell's voice came with a little bit of anxiety, "Lucia, are you off work?"

Hearing Mrs.Mitchell's voice a little strange, Lucia froze, "No, what happened?"

"Come to the hospital quickly and your dad..."

Mrs.Mitchell paused, unable to continue her sentence.

At that, Lucia was immediately very worried and couldn't help but hold the phone tightly, "What's wrong with my dad?"

Did something happen to her dad? "Your dad...is fine.It’s just that..."

Mrs.Mitchell stammered and could not express herself clearly for a long time, so she finally said, "I don’t know how to say it.Come over as soon as possible..."

Lucia bit her lip, and hurriedly answered, "Yes, Mom, I'm coming over!"

When she hung up the phone, Lucia felt anxious.She wasn’t sure what was going on, but from Mrs.Mitchell's tone on the phone, it didn't look good.

Lucia looked up and scanned the clock on the wall.

It was still more than half an hour before the end of the day.

If she left now, she would be leaving early, but at this time, she couldn't care more, so she packed her things and left the office quickly.

After leaving the office, she hailed a taxi and immediately rushed to the hospital.

When she hurried to Mr.Mitchell's ward, she didn’t even have time to knock on the door and pushed it straight in.

"Dad, Mom, you..."

When she saw Mr.Mitchell lying on the bed like normal and Mrs.Mitchell standing next to him, Lucia was slightly stunned and a little surprised.

It did not look like anything serious had happened...

But the next moment, when Mr.Mitchell looked up and saw her, his face suddenly turned somber and he said in a deep voice, "Come here!"

Seeing her dad who suddenly changed his expression, Lucia paused, confused, "Dad, what's wrong..."

Why was her dad so angry at the sight of her?

"Aren't you clear? Come here!"

With his face red with anger, Mr.Mitchell leaned forward and reached out his hand to point at her shakily.

Feeling very uneasy, Lucia gritted her teeth and forced herself to walk forward.

But just as she reached the bed, Mr.Mitchell was so angry that he raised his hand, and then a slap came towards her face.

Lucia froze, not yet clear what happened.

When she saw the slap that was about to fall, it was too late for her to dodge it, and her cheek burned hotly with a loud "pop".

Lucia subconsciously took a step back, shocked to look at the angry Mr.Mitchell, "Dad, you..."

Since she was a child, Mr.Mitchell had never hit her, and this was the first time! Mrs.Mitchell, who was standing on the other side, was also dumbfounded, and when she reacted, it was also too late.

She was so shocked that she reached up and grabbed one of Mr.Mitchell's arms, saying, "Mitchell! What are you doing? Why are you hitting Lucia?"

Mr.Mitchell’s breath was heavy and sharp as he glared at Lucia and he shouted coldly, "She's the one I hit because she’s disgraced our Mitchell family!"

Lucia stood in place.

Looking at the scene in front of her, she felt dizzy.

As soon as she received the call, she immediately rushed over.

Unexpectedly, once she entered the door, she was inexplicably slapped before she could ask about what happened.

"Don't stop me!"

Mr.Mitchell, who had always been gentle, turned red and threw away Mrs.Mitchell's hand, shouting at Lucia, "You tell me today! What is the real reason for your divorce from August!"

Looking at Mr.Mitchell in such a state of anger and asking such a question, Lucia was even more puzzled.

She held back the pain on her cheek, sucked in cool air, and asked, "Dad, what happened..."

Mr.Mitchell shivered with anger, very emotional, "You still have the nerve to ask me?"

Mrs.Mitchell, who saw that the situation was not right, immediately rushed to Lucia and said, "Lucia, you go first! Hurry up!" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

At this time, Mr.Mitchell was angry and could not be stopped.

If he had a heart attack, the situation would be even worse.

Lucia felt very aggrieved.

Looking at her dad’s furious look, she didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately turned to run out of the ward.

After the door to the ward closed, she could faintly hear the sound of arguing coming from inside.

She gritted her teeth and darted forward through the entire corridor before she slowly came to a halt.

All things in her brain were like a jumbled mess and she could not figure it out.

What exactly made her dad so angry and also involved August...
