Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 68

Lucia fell uncontrollably and landed hard on the staircase with a sharp pain in her back.

The next second, she rolled down the stairs.

The look on August's face changed instantly.

"Lucia!"

With a thud, Lucia's ears buzzed and the pain from the impact spread to all her limbs over and over again.

She struggled to open her eyes and found the ceiling more and more blurred.

The man's face flashed before her eyes and she thought she saw concern in his cold eyes.

Gradually, Lucia blacked out and fell unconscious.

"Call an ambulance, Turner!"

Anxiety flickered in August's eyes.He looked at the woman lying on the floor, but he didn't dare to touch her, for fear that it would be worse if he caused further injuries.

Turner was stunned when she rushed over and saw Lucia on the floor.

She took the phone and called for help right away.

Ten minutes later, an ambulance came at full speed with the sound of its siren and stopped at the entrance of the house.

Lucia had a long dream in which she was pregnant and about to give birth.

For some reason, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in her belly and blood was gushing out.

She screamed for help, but there was no one around.

When she turned around, she found an all too familiar face.

However, August glanced at her indifferently and walked away.

"No!".

Lucia tensed and screamed out abruptly.

She opened her eyes and saw a snow-white ceiling.

She gasped and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of her forehead and back.

Where...was she?

"You are finally awake, Madam!"

A familiar voice came to her ears.

Lucia paused and slowly turned around to see Turner by her bed.

"Where...am I?"

She moved her lips and took a breath.

For some reason, she felt a pain in her belly at the same time.

A look of pity appeared in Turner's eyes.

"You're in the hospital.You fell down the stairs at home and have been lying here for two days."

Hearing that, Lucia tried to move her body, but to her surprise, she felt like she had been run over by a truck and the pain was killing her.

Turner quickly soothed her.

"Don't move.You have a lot of injuries and need to rest now.Fortunately, none of your bones are broken.Otherwise, it would have been serious."

Lucia frowned.

She felt that something was wrong with her body, but she couldn't tell what it was.

After a pause, she moved her lips.

"Turner...I'm thirsty."

Turner immediately reacted to her words, picked up the glass and small spoon nearby, and slowly fed her water.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened.

"You woke up?"

Lucia shivered involuntarily at the sound of this voice.

Turner said, "She just woke up."

August nodded slightly.

He reached out to take the glass from Turner and said lightly, "I'll do it."

Turner got it and went out of the room right away.

The door was closed and it was a lot quieter in the room at once.

Lucia glanced at the man by the bed from the corner of her eye and frowned, refusing to look at him squarely.

Noticing the woman's eyes, August took a deep breath, got a little water with the small spoon, and brought it to her lips.

Lucia turned her head away, unwilling to drink.

The atmosphere suddenly became much colder.

August wrinkled his eyebrows.

He put the spoon and glass down, and said lightly, "Sorry, it's my fault that the baby..."

He suddenly stopped talking.

Lucia froze and turned to look at him with surprise in her eyes, "The baby...What's wrong with it?"

A trace of hesitation flickered in August's deep dark eyes.

He moved his taut lips and said in a deep voice, "It's gone."

These two words came as a bolt from the blue to Lucia.

"It's...gone?"

No wonder she felt something strange in her body as soon as she woke up and the pain in her belly involved her whole body.

Turner hadn't said anything else just now, so Lucia had thought the baby was fine.

But if she thought about it, she was lucky that she didn't have any broken bones after rolling down those high steps, so how could she hope that the vulnerable baby in her belly was still safe and sound? Tears slipped quietly from the corners of her eyes as Lucia felt the painful wrench at her heart.

She clenched her fists, but it was difficult for her to even sit up.

That little thing had left her before she experienced what it was like to be a mother.

August looked at the woman's reaction.

His eyes darkened and his frown deepened as he said in a deep, husky voice, "I'm sorry, Lucia."

Lucia gritted her teeth and forced the words out of the corner of her mouth.

"You...get out! I don't want to see you!"

It was all because of him! If he hadn't forced her to donate her kidney to Jeanne, things wouldn't have come to this point! After saying that, she turned her head to the side, refusing to give August another look.

August stood at the head of the bed with his deep eyes fixed on her.

After a moment, he turned to step out of the ward without saying anything.

At this point, it was so tricky that he couldn't control the situation anymore.

The only thing he could do was try his best to make it up to her.

Lucia lay on the bed with her tears soaking the pillow.

She wouldn't say a word, no matter what Turner said to her.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Turner tried hard to persuade her.

"You should eat something, Madam, or you won't get well."

Lucia stared at the ceiling in a daze.

All that came to her mind was how she and August had been getting along over the days.

On many occasions, she had thought that he was in love with her, but at the end of the day, she was just a kidney donor he was using as a tool.

"Listen to me, Madam, you can't get out of bed or do anything if you're not well enough!"

Turner's voice came to her ears, pulling her back to reality.

Her eyelashes fluttered and she finally reacted.

Turner was right.

If she didn't get better soon, how could she escape from this terrible man? Lucia blinked and held back her tears as she said in a low voice, "I'll eat."

Hearing that, Turner immediately responded.

She picked up the porridge next to her and fed Lucia with the spoon.

After eating half of it, Lucia frowned and was about to say she didn't want any more when the door was suddenly opened.

"Lucia!"

Along with the familiar voice of the middle-aged woman, Mrs.Mitchell came in almost in a rush.

Her eyes instantly turned red when she saw Lucia lying on the bed, Lucia felt that her heart skipped a beat when she saw the visitor.

Tears kept pouring out of her eyes.

"Mom..."

"What...happened to you?"

Mrs.Mitchell asked in a trembling voice and the look in her eyes showed how bad she felt for Lucia.

Mr.Mitchell came in after Mrs.Mitchell.

He looked upset too when he saw what was going on here.

Lucia calmed down a bit and quickly asked, "Why are you here, Mom?"

Your father and I received a call from August and knew that something happened to you, so we rushed over here."

Hearing the man's name, Lucia frowned and the look on her face turned a bit colder.

She guessed that he had told her parents about her accident without mentioning the cause.

Mrs.Mitchell wiped her tears at the side.

"What the hell happened to you, Lucia? Say something!"

Lucia came back to her senses.

She gritted her teeth and said softly, "I fell down the stairs by accident."

Mrs.Mitchell was both upset and angry.

"By accident? Why were you so careless? Mr.Mitchell was sort of calm.

He sighed, "Stop it.You're giving her a hard time."

Hearing that, Mrs.Mitchell sniffed, wiped her tears, and stopped talking.

She raised her eyes to look around the room and found no one else but Turner.

"Where's August, Lucia? Why isn't he here after what happened to you?"
