Chapter 127

Just as they reached the stairs, Burton came up from downstairs quickly and bumped right into them.

Seeing Lucia in August's arms in disarray, Burton immediately reacted after a pause and hurriedly said to August, "Mr.Adams, it's better to find a room to deal with Ms.Mitchell's wound at this time!"

At that, August frowned slightly and understood the meaning of his words.

At this time, he had to pass by the second floor to leave with Lucia in his arms.

Not only would he have no way to explain to Greeves, but having others see Lucia’s disheveled, bruised, and swollen appearance would certainly attract a lot of gossips.

After a two-second pause, August nodded slightly, "Do you have the room card?"

Greeves had arranged rooms for some important guests, and the room cards had been issued to everyone in advance.

Burton nodded, "Yes, room 306."

At that, August didn’t say a word and immediately went back with Lucia in his arms.

Entering the room, he put Lucia on the bed.

After looking around, he didn't see a medical kit.

So, he glanced at Burton standing by and ordered in a cold voice, "Go find a medical kit as soon as possible!"

At the word, Burton immediately nodded in response, turned around, and left the room.

August walked to the bed.

Looking at Lucia, who was lying in a ball on the bed, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart as if he had been stabbed by something sharp.

He turned around, got a clean towel from the washroom, wet it with water, and gently wiped the dust off her face.

With the cool towel touching her skin, Lucia instantly felt a little more awake.

When she took a deep breath and opened her eyes to see the man sitting beside the bed to take care of her, she felt very complicated.

She moved her body, reached out her hand to take the wet towel in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can do it myself..."

August stretched out his hand and gently held her wrist, his voice carrying an unquestionable determination, "Lie still."

Lucia couldn't refuse, so she slowly withdrew her hand and let him wipe her face.

Soon, the door was pushed open and Burton came in with a medical bag, "Mr.Adams, I only found this."

Sweeping a glance, August immediately took the medical bag without saying more, "Enough."

With that, he opened the medical bag and took out the medicinal liquid and gauze inside to disinfect those scrapes on Lucia’s body.

Suddenly, he paused and turned to look at Burton behind him.

Seeing the man's cold eyes, Burton instantly understood and immediately spoke, "Mr.Adams, I'll go outside the door and keep watch.Call me if anything happens."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room quickly.

When he heard the door being closed, August then continued the movement of his hands.

Looking at Lucia’s torn clothes, he pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Take off your clothes and I'll check."

Lucia was a little drowsy.

Hearing such a sentence from her ears, she shuddered and opened her eyes to look at August in surprise.

Seeing the man’s serious look, Lucia swallowed and said softly, "I can treat the wound myself..."

She had nothing to do with August now, so she couldn't undress in front of him.

Catching the woman's expression which was a little unnatural, August frowned, "What did you think I would do to you? Can you handle the wound on your back?"

Lucia had no objection at once.

She bit her lip, and finally slowly unbuttoned the waist dress.

August just took the swab out, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the woman's bare white back.

There were several red scrapes on her back shoulder, which looked a bit harsh.

August frowned slightly, holding a cotton swab stained with medicinal liquid to slowly disinfect the wound.

When the cotton swab just touched Lucia’s wound, she shuddered, with her back tightly tensed, and her shoulder blades slowly gathered up.

Looking at the scene in front of him, August actually felt her with some sadistic beauty.

The smooth line of her back stretched down, slowly thinning and continuing to her plump buttocks.

Such a visual impact actually made him physically react.

When did his self-control become so bad? August frowned, averted his gaze, and focused on the movements of his hands, dressing her wounds one by one.

After all this, he pulled the thin quilt next to him and gently covered her.

"You rest well and I'll come over later..."

With that, he took a step to leave.

The woman on the bed suddenly stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of his Jacket, "Can you...not go yet?"

This subconscious action took Lucia herself by surprise.

She just felt a little uneasy.

When she thought of what had just happened in the corridor, she was a little scared.

Seeing the cautious look on the woman's face, August was suddenly a little distressed.

He froze and his voice slowed down a bit, "Okay, I won't leave."

Originally, he had made the excuse to leave because he wanted a chance to stop his sexual impulses, but now, he couldn't leave.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the room, followed by Burton's voice, "Mr.Adams."

"Come in."

Burton pushed open the door and walked in quickly, looking serious, "Mr.Adams, just now Lilian led someone aggressively to catch adultery in room 318, and the reporters are here."

With a haze swept across his face, August instructed, "Keep your eyes on it and you can get our people started."

Burton smiled and immediately answered, "Yes."

At that, Lucia took a deep breath and after watching Burton leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Our plan worked, didn't it?"

August looked back at her and said in a deep voice, "Well, it worked."

This time, if not for Lucia, it would not have been possible to succeed.

Clutching the corner of her dress tightly, Lucia finally could not resist asking the question in her heart, "Why do you do it to Ted?"

August had never explained it to her.

She had previously thought it was because Ted was threatening his position in the company, but looking at August's step-by-step approach, she didn't think it was that simple.

August looked up at the window, his voice low and sullen, "Because he embezzled money from the company."

During these years of being transferred to the branch, Ted seemed to be decentralized, but in fact, he had real power.

In addition to the Stebbing family's support, he grew more arrogant.

In the past few years, the branch’s accounts had never been clear.

What's more, he did a lot of irregularities in private behind the Adams family’s back.

Now he even targeted Lion Group and how could he let him go? Although August didn’t say much, Lucia still felt the coldness emanating from him.

She took a deep breath and already knew in her mind what was going on.

The story would be spread around when Lilian caught Ted with another woman at Greeves’ birthday party, and as long as Lilian had some backbone, she wouldn't put up with it anymore and would divorce Ted.

In this way, without the support of the Stebbing family, Ted would no longer be as comfortable as before.

Coming back to his senses, August turned his head to the woman on the bed and his voice softened a bit, "Whether it worked this time or not, this was too risky."

There would never be the next time.

Lucia moved his body with difficulty.

Involving the wounds on her body, she frowned in pain, "It was risky, but it worked in the end and I don’t regret it."

August's eyes flashed.

She didn’t regret it, but he did.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
