Say Goodbye to the Life She Had Now
It was August's phone that rang.
August's eyes moved.He immediately straightened up, pulling himself away from Lucia.He fished out
the phone, glanced at the name on the screen, and knitted his eyebrows unnoticeably.He turned his
head to look out of the window as he put the phone to his ear and answered it.
"Hello?"
A sweet female voice came from the other end.
"August, where are you?"
Lucia could vaguely hear that it was Jeanne and instantly, she sobered up a bit.
If it hadn't been for this call, she didn’t know what they would have done just now.Lucia was a little
indignant at her lack of sobriety.She couldn't control herself when she was in front of August.
August said a few words into the phone.
As soon as he hung up, Lucia turned to look at him and said with a soft smile, "President Adams, go
ahead if you have anything to do.It just occurred to me that I have to go shopping nearby, so you can
drop me off here and now."
With that, she smiled at August and pushed the door open to get out of the car quickly before he could
say anything.
August's eyebrows furrowed.
When he subconsciously pushed the door open to go after her, a voice suddenly rang in his head.
A few days ago, Joshua said to him with a serious face, "You and she are not from the same world."
That scene remained in his mind.His grip on the door handle tightened and he regained his composure
after a moment.
Burton, who was standing outside the car, was a little surprised.
He looked at August and asked, "President Adams, aren't you going after her?"
August's frown deepened, his heart skipped a beat and his thin lips were pursed.
"No, let's go back to the villa."
Hearing that, Burton had to get in and start the car to leave.
August raised his eyes and watched in the rearview mirror as her figure slowly got further away until
she was completely out of his sight at last.
Lucia got on the subway.
Instead of going straight home, she went to the hospital.
In the last few days, she hadn't come to visit her parents.
At first, it was because she had a head injury.She was afraid that they would ask her about it, so she
didn’t dare to come over.
Then, it was because she had received two lashes on her back.She had been at home recovering from
her injuries, so she couldn't come over.
This time, she finally had time to come and visit them.She walked to the door of the ward in a daze and
stood there in a trance.
It had been a long time since her father was hospitalized.
She raised her eyes to look inside through the small window in the door and saw Elisa massaging the
muscles in Bill's legs.
Sitting on the bed, Bill couldn't read the book in his hand and sighed, "Paul said that Lucia was busy
with work the last few times he came over.However, even if she was busy, she should have called."
"She has a hard enough time out there.It would be too much for her to come to the hospital every
day.I’m glad to see that she comes to the hospital less often, so she can get more rest."
Listening to their words, Lucia suddenly felt a bit of sorrow in her heart.
These days, her life was so chaotic that she hadn't come to the hospital a lot and neglected her parents
before she knew it.
Thinking about it, she felt even guiltier and couldn't stop the tears from coming out of her eyes.
All of a sudden, she found herself missing the carefree life that the three of them had lived together.
Back then, she didn't have so much trouble in her life.She just had her parents and her job.It wasn‘
exciting, but it was incredibly fulfilling.
But now, she simply didn’t know where she would go next.
It seemed like ever since she met August, her life had changed dramatically.
And now, at this point, she was not the one who was going to get married to him.
Lucia felt sad and tears kept falling down her face.
Just then, the door was opened and Elisa stood there, looking at Lucia in surprise.
"Lucia, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
She hurriedly pulled Lucia into the ward.
Seeing this, Bill sat up straight at once with anxiety and tried to get out of bed.
"Lucia, who bullied you? Tell dad, who did it?"
Looking at how concerned they were, Lucia couldn't stop her tears.She had apparently neglected those
whom she should have spent the most time with because of so many other things.
Guilt and sadness were mixed in her heart and became a complex emotion.
Finally, she shook her head, wiped her tears away, and said softly, "No one bullied me, Dad, and Mom.I
just missed you guys so much..."
Elisa’s eyes reddened at Lucia’s words.She reached out and took Lucia into her arms.
Smelling the familiar scent from her mother, Lucia felt a little more at ease and secretly made up her
mind.
After her father’s heart bypass surgery, she would take them out of the hospital, get a new job, stay
with them, and officially say goodbye to those trifles around her, to August, and to the life she had now.
The next day, Lucia went back to work as usual.
Just after she arrived at the President's Office, she received the news that Melinda was taking a leave
of absence.
With one less worker, Lucia had more tasks to do.She had wanted to meet Jonathan again, but with
Melinda absent, she had to stay on duty all day and be at August's beck and call.
After one night, the two of them had a tacit agreement not to mention what had happened last night as
if they were still no more than president and secretary.
During the morning, Lucia received reports from several departments.
At first, she was puzzled.
It was not yet the end of the month, so why were they already submitting their reports? Checking the
notice on the company’s intranet, she found that August was afraid that work would be affected by his
engagement ceremony, so he asked all departments to submit the reports earlier.
As a result, the President's Office had a lot more work to do.
Lucia looked at the notice in the email on her computer and felt a little bit depressed.
In the email, August didn’t cover up anything.He just said what he had to say and directly talked about
his engagement ceremony.
So, Lucia thought that everyone in the company would know that he was getting engaged.
For some reason, she felt a bit lost.
She organized the documents that needed his confirmation and took a deep breath before she took
them to August.
When she opened the door, she found that August was also very busy, with twice the usual number of
papers stacked on his desk.
Lucia stepped forward, pretending to be calm, and put the documents on the corner of the desk.
"President Adams, these documents also need your attention." August replied.
He paused and looked up at her.
"I need to work overtime tonight, so stay here and join me."
Lucia was silent for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes."
The thought of her being alone with August made her want to refuse.
However, it would be more obvious that something was wrong if she refused, so it was better for her to
simply say yes.
Lucia paused and looked at August.
"I'll go back to work if there's nothing else."
"Wait a minute."
August put down the file in his hand and looked at her with a serious face.
"I have something to tell you.
Dr.Long has made a new surgical plan.He told me that as long as your father’s physical condition is
okay, he will be ready for the surgery."
