Don't Judge a Book By its Cover
The terrifying thought flashed in Lucia's mind.
The next second, she felt she got goosebumps all over her body.
Fear arose from deep down.
If her guess was correct, the target of the bike that Jeanne had sent wasn't just to destroy her, but to kill
the baby in her womb as well.
To Lucia, Jeanne had always been a kind and generous woman.She didn't expect her to be so...
Paul could tell that there was something on Lucia's mind, so he called her quietly, "Lucia, are you
alright?"
Lucia quickly came back to her senses.She didn't know when, but her hands had turned ice cold.She
raised her head and looked at Paul.
A mixture of feelings arose in her heart.
"Was it...really her?"
Paul hesitated for a moment and looked as if he didn't want to tell her the truth.
However, after a short pause, he took out his phone from his pocket, displayed the message and
showed it to Lucia.
"This is what my men found from the street surveillance near Lion Group.Mark had a short
conversation with the man on the bike.Just over an hour later, you were injured.I ordered someone to
track the man on the bike, but he seemed to have disappeared."
Lucia raised her head and looked at the man wearing the helmet on the picture.It was indeed the man
who had run her over that day with the bike.
The man next to him looked a little familiar.
Lucia had a feeling she seemed to have seen him somewhere.
Lucia took a deep breath to calm herself down.She suddenly remembered that she had seen the man
on Jeanne's wedding.
The man was organizing the waiters to change the fruit plates.
This meant that he really was on the same side as Jeanne.
The last bit of hesitation disappeared from Lucia’s heart.She bit her lips hard and accidentally bit too
hard.
A faint taste of blood appeared in her mouth.
This was when Lucia realized that she shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
She had always thought Jeanne was a kind and generous person, but she didn't expect Jeanne to
actually have such a scheming side to her.
Lucia subconsciously tightened her fists and took a deep breath.She raised her head and looked at
Paul.
"Paul, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?" asked Paul.
"Don't tell anyone about this, not even August."
Lucia knew that if she told August about this, he wouldn't believe her and would also think that she was
deliberately trying to turn Jeanne and him against each other.
Besides, Lucia would be leaving the following day.She wanted to keep these things a secret and never
wanted to bring them up again.
Paul furrowed his brows and there was a short pause.He then asked, "Don't you want justice to be
served? She wanted to kill you and the child in your womb..."
"I know!"
Lucia suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Paul.She tried to be as calm as possible and said
slowly, "I know she wants to set me up, but I can't be going against her.You know that I'm out of time..."
If things became complicated, then August would know about the child Lucia was carrying.
By then, she wouldn't possibly have the chance to get away from Austos City.
Paul was at a loss for words when he heard what Lucia said.
Lucia fell silent for a while.She clenched her fists and then gritted her teeth.She raised her head to look
at Paul and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I don't want things to get out of hand.Paul, let's forget about
what happened, alright?"
Paul's eyes darkened and after a short pause, he nodded.
"Alright, have it your way.But if she dares to do anything to harm you again, I won't let her get away
with it."
After hearing those words, Lucia felt warmth in her heart.She looked at the man in front of her with
eyes full of gratitude subconsciously.
By the time they arrived back in the ward, both Bill and Elisa had a nervous looks on their faces.
When they saw Lucia, they asked, "Lucia, what happened?"
"Nothing."
Lucia tried to look lively and smiled at the two of them.
"There's nothing to worry about."
It took Lucia quite a long time to comfort the two of them and make them feel more at ease.
On the way back from the hospital, all Lucia could think of were the memories of the times when she
was with August.
At first she was a little reluctant to let go, but when she thought of all the things that Jeanne did to her,
all of that disappeared.
All that was left was the determination to leave.
This time, no matter what, Lucia was determined to leave August.
Only then, would she be away from danger.
Only then, would she and the baby in her womb be safe.
On the morning of the next day, Lucia was awake very early.She packed the things that she was going
to take with her.She then contacted the moving company to move everything back to the house where
she used to live.
After that, Lucia headed to the hospital to say goodbye to Bill and Elisa.
Elisa still found it hard to accept the fact that Lucia was leaving, so she said, "Lucia, can't you stay?"
Lucia smiled at Elisa and said,"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be back soon."
As soon as Elisa heard those words, her eyes turned red.
She wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Don't even think about lying to me.Your father has already told me everything.You've even made
contact with the local schools over there.There's no telling how long you're going to stay there before
you come back!"
Seeing Elisa in such a state, Lucia felt a little upset.
Tears began to well up in her eyes.She turned and looked at Bill, who was sitting on the bed.
Then she looked at Elisa.
Lucia was so upset that she was at a loss for words.
The truth was that Lucia didn't want to leave either.
She wanted to stay in Austos City, but she wasn't left with any choice right now.
She wanted to keep her child safe, so she must leave Austos City and go a place where both August
and Jeanne couldn't find her.
Finally, Bill couldn't help but say, "Alright, enough crying.Our daughter's only headed abroad for a
while.She isn't getting married.What would others think when they see you in such a state?"
After hearing those words, Elisa wiped away the tears on her face and kept quiet.
Lucia bit her lip and took a deep breath.
Then she looked at her parents and said slowly, "Mom, Dad, you don't have to worry.I'll take care of
myself."
Only after Lucia made a few more promises did Lucia say goodbye to her parents and walk out of the
ward.
As soon as she closed the door, she felt tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably.
Lucia only managed to calm herself back down when she walked out of the hospital.She took out her
phone and looked at the time.
When she saw the text that Paul had sent her, she subconsciously opened it.
"Lucia, I've got some things to deal with at the company.I'd probably need another hour.I'll go pick you
up in an hour."
Lucia quickly tapped on the screen and sent a reply.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
As she tapped on the send button, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucia hailed a taxi and went back to her apartment to pick up her luggage.
When Lucia pushed open the door and looked at the empty room, she suddenly something was
missing.
This apartment held a lot of her memories.
An hour passed very quickly.
When Lucia received the message that Paul sent her, she took a deep breath and walked out of the
door.
She took one last look at her apartment before she closed the door.
Finally, she let go of everything and sighed lightly.
She placed the key on the table in the hallway and left with her suitcase.
To her, leaving this place would be kind of a farewell.
Her past with August would come to an end from this moment onwards.
