My Mommy Is A CEO

Arthur woke up early the next morning, and Lucia was no longer by his side.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

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 visibly froze, and a small face turned red rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lucia is now so embarrassed that she wants to find a hole in the ground and bury it in the dirt. In fact, she woke up at six o’clock in the morning, knowing that she had lost control of her emotions and Lucia was embarrassed.

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

Lucia knows that everything she does to Arthur now will make her regret later, but … one is a man who loves her dearly, and one is her own regenerative 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 box to the bedside table and said to Arthur, “President, this is the breakfast from the one at the south gate.”

The breakfast at the south gate is not Arthur’s favorite, but Lucia’s. Last night, before Arthur went to bed, he told himself to go buy breakfast early in the morning, Kyle said this on purpose to listen to Lucia.

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

“Miss Webb, let’s have breakfast.” Kyle said to Lucia with a smile, and just as he finished his sentence, he noticed Arthur giving him a look that hinted him to go out, Kyle felt aggrieved, I am a god helper!

But despite the aggravation in his heart, he quickly withdrew and continued to leave space for the twisted couple.

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

Lucia honestly moved a stool to sit next to Arthur, the two of them one breakfast, and began to eat up, occasionally outside the door will come the sound of footsteps and people, accompanied by the unique cold winter morning, but let a kind of life in the quiet feeling of the years.

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

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

“Don’t be capricious, okay?”

Arthur did not answer.

This only made Lucia feel more guilty, so she quickly changed the subject:

“The doctor said there are just some minor cracks on your left calf, and that you should recuperate well for half a month.”

“Eh.” Arthur still only gave a grace.

Lucia turned his head to the balcony, not much time to bring back a basin of water, the towel will be wrung out and wiped to Arthur’s face with a swift speed, Arthur immediately hissed out.

Lucia hit the ice water!

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

“Idiot.” Seeing Lucia’s hands already frozen red, Arthur scolded nonchalantly and reached out to hold her hands.

Lucia did not pull his hand out, just lowered his head and looked at the bed, thinking … they are now like this, what is it?

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 … exactly what to do.

Lucia ran out of ideas.

Sophie arrived at ten 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, you come along for the soup too.” With Lucia around, Sophie would of course prepare her share.

Lucia is not an injured person, but under Sophie’s eager gaze, she still follows Arthur to drink bone broth, making Kyle, who is guarding the door, crave for more.

When it came time to drink 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 Auntie Esmae’s full name?”

Lucia was directly stunned.

Arthur looked at Sophie in confusion, wondering why his mother would suddenly mention Auntie Esmae, who had been kind to Lucia, but she would only give him a reassuring look and then continue:

“Sorry, Auntie Sophie talked to Theodore last night and learned a few things. Lucia, you talked to Auntie 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 finally even to Theodore lied that the phone is broken directly shut down, cut off all contact with Arthur, after returning to the country without warning to break up with Arthur, Lucia, this Auntie Esmae is not the reason why you left Arthur? ”

Sophie’s words, one is to ask Lucia for details, and the other is to let Arthur understand what happened at that time, Arthur heard what happened, before learning that Lucia cried before deciding to alienate herself, and rushed to ask her:

“Is it all true?”

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

Seeing that Lucia didn’t say anything, Sophie knew she had to lay down some hard drugs, 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 shaking slightly, but still pursed her lips without saying a word.

Sophie continued to increase the dosage:

“Lucia, does Arthur’s love for you not outweigh anything that other people say? You know that last night he opened almost all the wounds all over his body in order to let you sleep better, he was covered with blood when we came in, got the doctor to stitch him up again, and 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 Auntie 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?”
