Chapter 61

Emma was shocked, then she immediately pulled Lucia out of the bath, dragged her to the bed, and
covered her with the quilt.

After that, she immediately called Carter, their supervisor Carter answered the phone and came
immediately.

After she touched Lucia's forehead, she realized the seriousness, Lucia was hot with her cheeks red.

And no matter how they called her, she didn't respond, and apparently, she had passed out.

Emma was anxious, "Carter, what do we do now?"

Carter frowned and instructed, "Go get the waiters and have them contact the hotel doctor while I call
Mr.Adams."

The medical facilities and medicines at Lakeside Manor were definitely not as good as those at the
hospital, so she had to contact August to ask if Lucia should be taken to the hospital.

August had just finished showering and changing when he received Carter's call, and he casually
pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"Mr.Adams, Lucia has a high fever and it's a bit serious.Do you think we should take her to the
hospital?"

At that, August gripped the phone hard.

Sure enough, she still had a fever.

August ordered in a cold voice, "Get a car to take her to the hospital immediately."



"Okay."

He was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly paused and asked, "Where is she now?"

Her physical condition directly determined whether Jeanne's surgery would go ahead as scheduled,
and right now her health was of the utmost importance.

Carter replied, "She's in room 609."

"Hmm."

August hung up the phone, walked to the door, grabbed his suit jacket, and stepped outside.

When he walked towards the elevator, Burton followed him immediately, "Mr.Adams, are you going to
see Mrs.Adams?"

August's phone suddenly vibrated when he was about to speak.

Taking it out and looking at the note "Essence" on it, he suddenly got serious.

It was a call from Essence Hospital.He answered directly without hesitation.

"Mr.Adams, please come and see Miss Lytton.She doesn't eat or drink and insists on seeing you.We
can't persuade her!"

Peter said that he had to observe her recently for a final checkup, and specifically instructed him not to
visit her so as not to affect her emotionally.

Unexpectedly, she started to make a scene.

Before he could speak, there was a sharp sound on the other end of the phone, like something
shattering on the floor.



August frowned, his face becoming more somber.

Then he pressed his voice, instructing, "Tell her not to hurt herself and I'm going over to see her
immediately."

At that, the caregiver hurriedly answered.

Putting away his phone, August quickly headed for the elevator.

Burton followed and asked, "Mr.Adams, where are we going now?"

August frowned and said in a deep voice, "Essence Hospital."

A similar situation had occurred before when Jeanne had broken something and hurt herself because
of a temper tantrum.

Nowadays whenever he saw those bruises, he still regretted not protecting her.

Burton couldn't resist asking, "What about Mrs.Adams?"

Just as he finished his sentence, August turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

Only feeling a chill in his back, Burton immediately bowed his head and said no more.

"Ding", the elevator door opened.

August walked into the elevator, his face sullen and cold.

The woman who came first in his heart would always be Jeanne.

After sleeping for a day and a night, Lucia opened her eyes again and found herself in a completely
strange place.



She moved her body and opened her dry mouth, but no sound came out.

"Pop-"

The door was pushed open, followed by a familiar voice in her ears, "Mrs.Adams, you are finally
awake!"

Lucia slowly turned her head and saw Turner, who had just returned from getting water, She opened
her mouth, her voice slow and hoarse, "Where am I..."

"In the hospital! You had a high fever and were taken straight to the hospital.

I rushed to take care of you as soon as I knew Turner said, rushing to bring the warm water on the side
to her hand, After taking a sip of water, Lucia then slowly slowed down, "You mean I was sent directly
from the manor to the hospital?"

Turner nodded, "Yes."

She slowly swept around and continued to ask, "How long did I sleep..."

"A day and a night, but luckily, your fever has gone down..."

She surprisingly had been sleeping for a day and a night.

Lucia took a breath and slowly asked, "Where is August?"

Hearing August, Aunt Yung hesitated a little, "Mr.Adams...didn't come."

Lucia froze.

She slept through the day and night but he didn't even visit her...



He should be very busy with work.

"So...when can I be discharged from the hospital?"

Now that her fever had gone down, there was no need for her to stay in such an expensive hospital
room.

"The doctor said when you wake up and there's nothing serious, you can go home to recuperate.I'll call
the doctor to come take a look."

Turner went around for her and called the doctor to come to examine her.

The doctor took a look at her health, gave her some precautions, and discharged her.

On the car ride back, Lucia thought back to what had happened at Lakeside Manor before she was
hospitalized.

They were like a dream, a little unreal.

But on second thought, the trip to Lakeside Manor was a little more fun with August by her side.

When she returned to the house, there was no one at home.

It seemed that August had not returned yet.

After briefly eating something, under Turner's supervision, Lucia drank the medicines and finished
another glass full of water.

"Drink more water to get well faster and I'll go pour you another glass."

With that, Turner took the glass and went to pour water again.



Lucia patted her stomach, which was already full, "Turner, that's enough.I can't drink anymore!"

"No, have another drink."

While the two of them were talking, the sound of a car came from outside.

Turner put the glass of water in front of her, "I think Mr.Adams is back.I'll go check and you drink the
water."

Without knowing whether to cry or laugh, Lucia had to agree.

Lucia drank her second glass of water.

As soon as she looked up, she saw August walk in through the door, casually putting his jacket down
and changing his shoes.

Lucia stood up and was about to ask a few questions when she suddenly noticed that August looked a
little tired.

She stepped forward and asked with some hesitation, "You're back?"

August looked up at her lightly, "Hmm."

He was obviously quite distant from her.

Lucia stepped forward and asked in a soft voice, "What's wrong? Are you too tired from work?"

Since she had known him, she had rarely seen him so tired.

Could it be that something had happened? She continued to ask him, but she didn't expect August to
stop suddenly, and she bumped straight into his sturdy back Lucia raised her hand and rubbed her



head which hurt from the bump, and before she could look up, she heard the man's voice with some
coldness.

"I want to be quiet."

Smelling a flow of perfume, Lucia looked up to see the man's slightly cold scowl and froze.

August glanced at her and turned directly to go upstairs.

As she watched him disappear at the stairway, Lucia's heart sank abruptly.

Why did his attitude towards her change so much? Moreover, she just smelled a flow of perfume on
him.

Although she did not often use any perfume, she also knew that sweet and fruity perfume was often
used by women!
