Chapter 232

The 24-hour Care in Hospital

With a note of resolution and cattiness, Jeanne reassured her father, "I know how to carry it out, Dad."

The fury of Martin was eased up when he heard his daughter's words.

"All right.I'm glad you've got your own plan.Don't get yourself too tired." he advised gently with a
gesture.

Jeanne nodded meekly and went back to her room.She was still pondering on it when lying on the
bed.She then located Dr.

Ferrell from the contact list and sent him a text: [Thank you for your cooperation today, Dr.Ferrell.You'll
get the reward tomorrow.

And we could have some further plan about my "health problems"...She soon got the reply from Dr.

Ferrell, in which the time and place for their next appointment was fixed.

With a relieved sigh, Jeanne told herself she could do anything in order to keep August with her.

Bill Mitchell eventually revived when Lucia had been waiting outside the ICU ward for a whole night and
a morning.

As the doctor finished the check, Lucia and Elisa both went up to inquire for Bill's situation.

"He's out of danger now, and the index is generally within normal range.But he's extremely weak now,
and there's still serious problem about his heart.He'll have to keep lying on the bed."

There was a mixture of emotions in the heart of Lucia, hearing the result mingled with hope and fear.



Elisa couldn't wait to ask, "When could he get out ICU?"

"He will be transferred to general wards today." the doctor replied.

"Get yourself prepared for the 24-hour care for him, as we still need to keep watching his situation
during the convalescence."

"Thank you for informing!" Elisa said quickly.

She then patted Lucia with relief, "Things are at least a little better than imagined"

Lucia, who was far less optimistic than her mother though, also felt a bit relaxed.She suddenly clutched
at the wall as she felt her legs give way beneath her.She looked extremely haggard and worn because
she had been so agitated that she didn't really sleep for a whole night, and hadn't eaten much these
days.

"Go home and have a rest, Lucia."

Elisa suggested, holding her daughter with great concern.

"And ask for a leave.You can't go to work today."

That reminded Lucia of the fact that she hadn't asked for a leave yet, which she had almost forgotten.

She might even lose the job if she was absent without good reasons for too long, and that would make
it harder for her to pay August back.

Gritting her teeth, Lucia thus strived to ask her mother whether there was any charger around, and
hurried to get her phone, which had been powered off, charged after getting a positive answer from
Elisa.



The moment she turned on her phone, notifications of several unanswered calls popped out, two of
which were from Carter.

Feeling rather uneasy, Lucia called Carter back immediately.

She became more nervous hearing Carter's voice, "Carter, I..."

"I've heard about the accident." Carter cut in.

"Your application for a leave has been approved by higher-ranking managers.Don't worry about your
work, I'll arrange it with back ups."

She sounded so kind and understanding, without any note of reproach or complaint.

Lucia was stunned and wasn't able to speak until a moment later.

"Thank you so much, Carter." she then hastened to say.

"Nothing.Take care of your family and yourself.So long." Carter replied.

Having hung off the phone, Lucia still found it so unbelievable.

How come Carter suddenly changed her attitude when she had been so resolute about the rejection
last time? Why did she say there was intervention of some higher-ranking managers? Or was it due to
August Adams? No, it couldn't be possible, when Lucia had told August there was no connection
between them, and he just had no reason to help her...Lucia then decided to stop thinking since they
were just like riddles that could never be solved.

Bill Mitchell was transferred to a general ward from ICU.

Looking at her father who appeared so weak on the bed, Lucia felt bitter in the heart.



"Dad...are you getting a little better?" she asked, holding back the tears.

Bill struggled to lift his hand to touch Lucia's cheek.

"Lucia, it's so nice to know you are ok..."

There were tears of joy in his eyes.

Lucia was so moved.

"Dad, don't worry about me.I'm ok."

Knowing Bill needed more rest as he had just woken up from the comas, Elisa took Lucia out of the
ward when he fell asleep again.Elisa didn't ask until she was sure the door was closed, "How about
your work, Lucia?"

"My application of a leave has been approved."

Lucia answered after taking a deep breath, "And I'll be staying with father all day long until he
recovers."Elisa suggested with hesitation as something flickered in her eyes, "Lucia, it's a toil to do the
24-hour care.Look, they don't even provide beds here.We'd better..."

Having guessed what her mother's advice was, Lucia cut in, holding Elisa's hand, "Mom, it's ok for me
however hard it would be.I only hope father will recover as soon as possible."

Elisa didn't insist since Lucia was so determined, though she really doubted if Lucia could stand such
hard work although this girl loved her father so much.

Elisa then decided to let Lucia have a try, as she thought her daughter might change her mind after one
day or two.



In the following days, Lucia, however, stuck on with great cussedness, getting up early and going to
bed late.

After sleeping on the chair at night for two days, her eyes were black-ringed, yet she didn't utter any
complaint.

Elisa tried to persuade Lucia to take a rest at home lovingly, "Lucia, you've been looking after your
father for two days.Go home now and take a shower.Come back tomorrow."

"I'm OK, Mom.No worries." Lucia replied with a smile and went out of the ward, carrying an empty
thermos bottle.

She knew it clearly that her mother was only trying to get her some refreshment.Her phone buzzed not
long after she walked out.

Lucia paused and took the phone out from the pocket, just to find it coming from Paula.

Thinking for a second, she answered it, "Hello?"

"Lucia's, what are you up to these days?"

Paula sounded quite discontent, "You just disappeared and I can't reach you at all!"

Lucia just didn't know how to answer her questioning.She seldom checked her phone these days, and
wouldn't have the mood to reply even if she saw the messages from Paula.

"I'm sorry, Paula."

Lucia finally answered gently after taking a deep breath, "My father had an operation and I've been in
the hospital these days..."



Paula paused and hastened to inquire, "How's Uncle Bill? And are you all right now? You sound so
weary...Look there, send me the address and I will go to see you..."

Hearing Paula's long monologue, Lucia only permitted herself a wry smile until she remembered
something.

"Ok.Could you do me a favor, Paula?" she whispered.
