She Is A Ceo Novel By George Chapman -Chapter 70

Arthur woke up early the next morning, and Lucia was no longer by his side.

He looked around and was caught by the low sound of talking coming from outside the balcony. He followed the sound and saw the balcony door closed and a blurred back reflected in the glass. It was Lucia.

Lucia’s eyes met Arthur’s as soon as she entered the door. She was visibly froze. And her face turned red rapidly at a visible speed.

Lucia was now so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself. In fact, she woke up at 6 o’clock in the morning. Knowing that she had lost control of her emotions, Lucia was embarrassed.

At this time, a nurse came over to send a temperature probe to check the temperature, found Lucia awake and mentioned Arthur’s open wound last night. Lucia listened and felt guilty. When she heard the nurse said that Arthur was looking at her smiling the whole time, her heart was like being wrapped in a layer of honey. It was sweet, but also so thick that she can hardly breathe.

Lucia knew that everything she did to Arthur now will make her regret later, but … one was a man who loved her dearly, and the other was like her own parent. She really can’t choose.

“I took your temperature just now. It’s normal. You can get an IV after the doctor comes to do his rounds and prescribes the medication later.” Breaking the silence, Lucia tried to suppress her emotions and said to Arthur.

Arthur faintly responded, “Well, got it.”

“I’m going to get breakfast.” Lucia wanted to take the opportunity to leave to catch her breath, when Kyle suddenly appeared in the doorway, carrying two delicate food boxes in his hands.

Kyle dutifully brought the food boxes to the bedside table and said to Arthur, “Mr. Davies, this is the breakfast from the south gate.”

The breakfast from the south gate was not Arthur’s favorite, but Lucia’s. Last night, before Arthur went to bed, he told Kyle to go buy breakfast early in the morning. Kyle said this on purpose so that Lucia could hear that.

As soon as Lucia heard this, she looked towards Arthur, saw both Arthur and Kyle staring at her, and quickly turned back. She lowered her head as her face continued to burn.

“Miss Webb, let’s have breakfast.” Kyle said to Lucia with a smile. Just as he finished his words, he noticed Arthur giving him a look that hinted him to go out. Kyle felt aggrieved because he thought he was an excellent helper!

But despite feeling aggrieved, he quickly withdrew and continued to leave space for the couple.

“Eat.” Arthur didn’t want to push Lucia now.

Lucia took a chair to sit next to Arthur and began to eat up. Occasionally there would be footsteps and voices outside the door, accompanied by the unique cold winter morning, which made them think it was peaceful time.

After a quiet breakfast, two doctors came over for rounds and talked to Lucia for advice and understanding of the condition.

After the doctors left, Lucia sighed helplessly and turned to Arthur and said,

“Don’t be capricious, okay?” novelbin

Arthur did not answer.

This only made Lucia feel more guilty, so she quickly changed the subject, “The doctors said there are just some minor cracks on your left calf. You should recuperate well for half a month.”

“Eh.” Arthur still only replied so.

Lucia turned her head to the balcony, then brought back a basin of water. The towel was wrung out and wiped to Arthur’s face with a swift speed. Arthur immediately hissed out.

Lucia took the ice water!

Seeing the success of her revenge, she showed a smug smile on her face, grabbed a towel and wiped Arthur’s face, even deliberately messed up his hair. Lucia looked at her results, and her mood finally turned better.

“Idiot.” Seeing Lucia’s hands were red from the ice water, Arthur scolded and reached out to hold her hands.

Lucia did not pull her hand out, just lowered her head and looked at the bed, thinking … they were now like this. What was it called?

Her own hard-earned persistence and cold-bloodedness were all broken by a car accident. For that reason, she could ruthlessly leave Arthur, but as soon as Arthur had an accident, she would also rush over without turning back.

After that … what should she do exactly.

Lucia had no idea.

Sophie arrived at 10 o’clock with a food box, and the situation of Arthur and Lucia did not surprise her. They were like negative poles that could not touch but had to come together. They looked a bit rusty, but there was no sense of dissonance.

“Lucia, come have the soup too.” With Lucia around, Sophie would of course prepare her share.

Lucia was not an injured person, but under Sophie’s eager gaze, she still followed Arthur to have the soup, making Kyle, who was guarding the door, crave for more.

When it came time to have the soup, Arthur naturally picked some of Lucia’s favorite carrots and other things in the soup for her.

The soup was soon finished, and Sophie and Lucia were cleaning up the food box together when she suddenly asked, “Lucia, what is Esmae’s full name?”

Lucia was directly stunned.

Arthur looked at Sophie in confusion, wondering why his mother would suddenly mention Esmae, who had been kind to Lucia. But Sophie would only give her a reassuring look and then continue,

“Sorry, I talked to Theodore last night and learned a few things. Lucia, you talked to Esmae the first night you arrived in Chicago, right? What exactly did you guys talk about?

Theodore said that night you cried. After that you began to avoid Arthur, and even lied to Theodore that the phone is broken. And you just directly shut down, cut off all contact with Arthur. After returning to the country without warning to break up with Arthur. Lucia, this Esmae is not the reason why you left Arthur? ”

Sophie’s questions, one was to ask Lucia for details, and the other was to let Arthur understand what happened at that time. Arthur heard what happened. Before learning that Lucia cried before deciding to alienate him, he rushed to ask her,

“Is it all true?”

Lucia stood still by the bed like a statue, not saying a word and not even blinking her eyes. In fact she was panicking. Sophie was right. Esmae was the reason why she left Arthur, but she could not say the reason. This was what she promised Esmae.

Seeing that Lucia didn’t say anything, Sophie knew she had to make more efforts, so she deliberately said, “Lucia, this time you argued with Arthur and he got into a car accident. What about the next time?”

Lucia lowered her eyes. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, but she still pursed her lips without saying a word.

Sophie continued,

“Lucia, does Arthur’s love for you not outweigh anything that other people say? You know that last night, almost all the wounds all over his body were open in order to let you sleep better. He was covered with blood when we came in. I got the doctors to stitch him up again. He was careful not to make any noise, and carried hard for more than an hour before the stitching was done.

Lucia, maybe you broke up with Arthur because you were concerned about Esmae’s feelings, but what about me? I’m Arthur’s mother. Can you take pity on me too? Do you know how much it hurt me to see him like that last night?”
