Chapter 164
Coming out of the hospital, Lucia walked on the street and suddenly felt incomparably confused.
She was eager to figure out what she had done to Mitchell Family that irritated Bill severely, who had always been gentle.
As she was walking aimlessly along the street for half a block and her mind was filled with complex feelings, her phone suddenly rang.
She heard it and picked up slowly without noticing who was calling.
After getting through, Paula's cheerful voice came, "Lucia, are you off work? Can you go with me to buy an outfit for the show?"
Lucia took a deep breath and apologized in a low and deep voice, "Paula, I’m sorry I don't really want to go with you..."
She was in a bad mood now, and If she did promise to accompany Ann in such a state, she would instead upset her.
Paula sensed her strange voice on the other side and immediately asked, "Lucia, what's wrong with you?"
They are close friends, so she was acutely aware of her depression. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm okay."
"Lucia, you're still trying to hide it from me, aren't you? Do you treat me as your best friend? Where are you? I'm going to find you!"
Lucia could not refuse her concern and told her, "I am across the Starlight Plaza."
"Okay, just find a cafe there and wait for me.I'll be right there."
After Paula finished, she hung up the phone.
Lucia looked at the phone with the screen darkened in her hand and sighed softly.
She thought at this time she would feel relieved when Paula came to company her, and then she found a bench on the side and slowly walked over and sat down to wait for her.
Lucia watched the traffic light at the end of the street had changed a dozen times before that familiar voice came from behind her, "Lucia!"
As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Paula had parked her car at the curb and was walking quickly towards her.
"Lucia, what happened?"
Paula walked in a hurry and by the time she reached her, she was out of breath.
Seeing her best friend, Lucia thought of what happened in the hospital and couldn't help but say in a choked voice, "Paula, I don't know how to say..."
Paula saw this, stunned for a while, quickly reacted and took out tissues to wipe her tears, "Lucia, don't cry, What the hell is going on? Did August bully you again?"
Lucia shook her head and took a tissue to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.She tried her best to smooth her emotions and answered, "There is nothing to do with him..."
"So what's wrong with you?"
Under Paula's continuous questions, Lucia had to tell her everything that happened today.
Lucia bit her lip and said weakly, "I don’t know what cause my dad so angry..."
Paula frowned and she still couldn't rule out her suspicion of August, "How could Mr.Mitchell mention August! Does this matter have anything to do with him or not? It's like he's making things difficult for you on purpose."
Lucia’s two hands twisted together, "I did not dare to ask more because I'm afraid that it will cause him a heart attack again."
Paula sat there deep in contemplation, suddenly her eyes lit up, and suggested, "Lucia, I will go to the hospital to visit your parents and inquire about what happened from your mom, only this we can know what to do next."
Lucia was pleased to hear her words and subconsciously held Paula's hand, "Okay!"
As long as she could know exactly what her dad was angry about, she would know exactly how to deal with it.
Paula patted her hand, "Then, I am now going to the hospital to visit your parents, and you go home first.
Don’t worry, I will call you to tell you everything I know.
It happens that tomorrow is Saturday, you do not have to work, just think of a countermeasure, and then go to the hospital to visit them."
Under this circumstance, Lucia had nothing to do but accept her suggestion.
She nodded and thanked, "Paula, thank you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Paula held Lucia’s hand tightly as well and comforted her, "Don't say anything, just treat me to the French restaurant after this!"
Lucia smiled, and nodded sincerely, "Okay, I'll go home first and wait for your news."
Paula patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry! You hurry home!"
After returning to her apartment by subway, Lucia was still thinking about what happened today and couldn't gather her strength, but at this time, there was no other way but to wait for Paula's news.
Lucia ate something, sitting on the couch to watch TV abstractedly, but her attention was on the phone placed aside.
Unknowingly, she was sleepy under the continuous advertisement from the TV series.
Suddenly, the sound of the phone ringing awoke Lucia.She hurriedly sat up straight, grabbed the phone next to her, directly get through, and put it to her ear.
"Hello? Lucia!"
Lucia instantly became sober after hearing Paula's loud voice.
She was inexplicably a little nervous and hurriedly asked, "Paula, how is it?"
"I asked your mom, and she told me that today your dad suddenly received Paul aonymous envelope, inside was a bunch of photos..."
Her voice trailed away to nothing.
Lucia was a little anxious to know the details, "Paula, what exactly is the photo?"
"It's some intimate photos of you and a man, and there is also a note saying that you and August divorced because of your marital infidelity..."
Lucia was both shocked and angry after hearing her words, if not for Paula telling her personally, she definitely would not believe that the reason why her dad was annoyed was that she had an affair with another man! Without hearing her reply, Paula hesitantly said, "Lucia, I also do not believe it, but your mom showed me the photos, and they are not counterfeit..."
Lucia's other hand on her lap slowly tightened and clenched into a fist.
She gritted her teeth and explained, "I've never done anything like that before, Paula, do you trust me?"
She was certain that someone had forged those photos to frame her!
