Lucia opened her eyes in a daze and tried to close them uncontrollably.
"I didn't sleep."
She didn’t intend to sleep, but she couldn’t control herself.
August’s face became somber.
Without saying a word, he immediately held her in his arms, commanding her in a deep voice, "Hold on
a little longer and someone will come to us soon."
Lucia nodded, but she still had little energy.
Feeling the warmth of August’s arms, she reached out to hug him, and greedily rubbed in his arms.
August was not used to the kind of touch, so he frowned, and subconsciously drooped his eyes.
Seeing Lucia leaning like a kitten in front of his chest, he stopped to push her hand away.
Forgot it Before long, Lucia was unconsciously trying to close her eyes again, about to fall asleep.
August reached out and patted her shoulder, waking her up again, "Lucia"
Lucia kept waking up and falling asleep.
August could clearly feel the coldness of her body, so he gradually felt a little uneasy.
It definitely couldn’t go on like this! He took a deep breath and said, "Lucia, let’s have a chat."
Lucia answered in a daze, "Okayo"
He tried to keep talking to her to keep her awake, and even reached out to rub her arm to preserve her
body temperature, but the results were not satisfactory.
In a few moments, Lucia was sleepy and closed her eyes again.
"You can’t sleep now!"
August gritted his teeth helplessly.
Looking at Lucia’s frozen, black and blue lips, he began to get a little anxious.
Seeing her leaning against his chest, unresponsive, he frowned, reached out, and lifted her chin,
kissing her directly.
Feeling the warm and soft touch on her lips, Lucia shivered and woke up with a jolt.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw August’s face close at hand and he seemed to be a little
angry.
He kissed her hard, making her feel painful and tingly, so Lucia was more awake.
Why did August kiss her all of a sudden? Lucia subconsciously put her hand against August’s chest to
push him away a little.
She blushed and questioned, "Why are you… kissing me secretly!"
Kiss her secretly? Hearing this, August unconsciously raised an eyebrow.
He was not kissing her secretly but was kissing her openly.
He put the hand around the back of her head slightly hard and said, "I was kissing you openly."
1 With these words, he leaned down and lowered his head, kissing her more passionately in her
amazement Lucia froze at first and was soon overcome by his kiss.
She now felt a mess The kiss was long and lingering.
Only when her breathing became difficult did August let her go.
Lucia blushed and looked at August with some evasiveness.
"Are you still cold?"
Hearing that, Lucia subconsciously shook her head.
"Still sleepy?"
She froze and shook her head again.
August has already achieved his goal.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and was about to speak, but Lucia suddenly said, "Did you hear
something?"
He opened his mouth and asked, "What?"
Lucia pressed his hand, "Don’t talk.Listen!"
After a few seconds of pause, he really heard something far away, small, faint, like a shout.
The voice gradually became a little clearer.
"Mr.Adamso" Hearing various shouts together, Lucia and August turned around at the same time.
Eye to eye, they both saw a little surprise in each other’s eyes.
Someone was coming to them! August immediately stood up and responded in the direction the voice
came from, "We’re here! Lucia stood up after him and shouted,"We’re here!"
The sounds were getting closer.
Soon a boat came around the bushes and they were found.
It was Guy and a few male colleagues who were on that boat, "They’re here!"
Looking at the boat that slowly drew over, August felt some joy and subconsciously looked at Lucia
beside him.
She forced a smile, but she was pale and didn’t seem as lively as she was a moment ago.
August’s heart sank and he immediately asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
Lucia smiled and shook her head at him, "Nothing."
"Mr.Adams! Lucia! What are you doing here?"
"Yes! We’ve been looking for you for a long time!"
Hearing their caring greetings, August responded, "There’s something wrong with the engine and the
boat is stuck here."
Guy and the others immediately pulled their boat over and let the two of them on board.
Once on board, August glanced at Lucia who was shivering slightly, and asked the others, "Do you
have any extra clothes?"
Receiving the jacket from one colleague, he immediately handed the clothes to Lucia without saying a
word, and commanded expressionlessly, "Put it on."
All the people on board were male colleagues, but when they saw what August did, they looked at the
two of them more completely.
After all, they all knew very well that Mr.Adams was usually blind to women, let alone so concerned
about a female 2 colleague.
But he was surprisingly so good to Lucia.
Now it seemed that the rumors of the company before might be true.
Immediately after, August opened his mouth and instructed, "Drive faster!"
Guy and the male colleague next to him looked at each other and they said in unison, "Yes!"
In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the shore with the boat at full power.
A group of people gathered on the shore saw their return and were secretly relieved.
Before the female colleagues could say their greetings, they saw August instructing Emma, who was
holding Lucia, "Send her back to the hotel immediately.
Then let her take a hot bath and take some cold medicines."
Emma nodded and responded, "Yes, Mr.Adams."
For a while, everyone’s eyes were again on Lucia.
More than three hours had passed since the start of the race.
No one knew if anything happened between August and Lucia alone on the boat.
The female colleagues became discontented and all looked at Lucia with hostility.
Lucia was so cold that she didn’t even notice the unkind stares.
She took a deep breath and shivered unconsciously, then walked quickly to the hotel with Emma.
As soon as they got back to the hotel room, Emma immediately filled the bath with water and pushed
her into the bathroom, "Get a hot bath! This is the first direct order Mr.Adams has ever given me, and I
want to make sure it gets done!"
Lucia smiled at her feebly and struggled to say, "Yes, I will actively cooperate with you too"
After hearing her words, Emma smiled at her and walked out of the bathroom.
After closing the door, Lucia slowly took off her clothes and entered the bath filled with hot water.
Her body, which was cold from the inside out, slowly warmed up when she touched the hot water.
But within a few moments, strong drowsiness swept over her again.
Lucia patted her drowsy head, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes.
Emma was outside watching TV.
But half an hour had passed and she hadn’t heard the sound in the bathroom, so she got up and
knocked on the door, "How are you doing? Did you wash up?"
There was no response from the bathroom.
Emma tensed up and immediately pushed the door open to enter, after which she saw Lucia lying in
the bathroom and seeming to be asleep.
She hurriedly went forward and patted Lucia’s face, "Lucia, wake up!"
But Lucia’s face was very hot!
