Chapter 383Chapter 383 Handsome Uncle, Came to See Her
Seeing that Lucia didn't speak for a long time, a trace of disappointment flashed across Janet's face,
and she said in a low voice, "Mom, if you don't want to, then forget it..."
Janet's disappointment made Lucia’s heart tighten and she couldn't bear it.
She took a deep breath and lowered her head to ask, "Do you want to see him?"
Janet nodded seriously and said, "I want to see Handsome Uncle."
Hearing this, Lucia gritted her teeth, calmed down, and nodded, "Okay, I'll call him."
She stood up, put Janet on the hospital bed, covered her with the quilt, and said softly, "I'm going to call
him.You lie here, you know?"
Janet nodded obediently.
Lucia smiled, stroked her little head, and then walked out of the ward.
When the door closed, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a look of worry.She clenched
her phone tightly and didn't mean to make a phone call at all.She and August had a bit of a fight that
day.
Now if she called him to ask him for help, wouldn't it be a bit abrupt? If he refused to come, how should
she explain it to Janet? Lucia thought about it and became more hesitant.
Ten minutes passed quickly and she was still in a dilemma.She dared neither call him nor go back to
the ward to face Janet's big innocent eyes.After thinking about it, she finally gritted her teeth, flipped through his phone address book, and found
August's contact information.
Thinking of Janet, she made up her mind and pressed the call button.
The beeping sound from the other end of the phone, like a spell, made her nervous involuntarily.
At the same time, August was sitting in a bright studio.
The lights above and in front of him were very bright.He was sitting on one end of the round sofa, and
at the other end was a host in a suit.
"As we all know, President Adams, you're one of the youngest and most successful entrepreneurs in
our Austos City.Of course, apart from your career, many netizens are very concerned about your
personal life.It's said that you have a beautiful wife at home.Can you share with us your..."
Before the host finished her sentence, August heard the vibrating sound of his phone.He lowered his
eyes slightly and glanced at the front-facing phone screen on the side.His eyes suddenly dimmed a
little.
The host noticed his gaze and followed it, and the smile on her face became more meaningful, "Is this
a call from your wife?"
August frowned slightly and picked up the phone.
novelbinHe looked up at the director team outside the shooting area, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry, I have to
answer an emergency call."
With that, he walked to backstage quickly.
The host on stage and the director group offstage were all dumbfounded and looked at each other.After a moment, everyone speculated that the phone call that August had to answer when he was in
the middle of the recording of the interview must have come from someone very important to him.
In the backstage of the studio, August pressed the answer button, and his palms sweated slightly
because he was nervous.
But as soon as he spoke, his voice became cold and alienated as usual on the phone, "Why are you
calling me?"
Lucia hesitated for a moment, and then clenched her phone and said, "Do you...have time?"
Hearing this, August raised his eyebrows, and the coldness on his face eased a bit, but he still said
coldly, "What's the matter?"
Lucia gritted her teeth and summoned her courage, "Janet...wants to see you."
A flash of light flashed in August's eyes.He raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and said after a
while, "I'll make time to go to the hospital later."
"Okay, thank you," Lucia said and hung up the phone.
Putting away his phone, August couldn't help smiling.
After a pause, he walked to Burton immediately and commanded, "Go and tell the director team.I have
an emergency and I need to leave.The recording will have to stop and we will finish the interview later."
When Burton heard this, he hesitated, "President..."
August's face darkened, "What's wrong? Can't you do that?"
Receiving the signal that August was about to get angry, Burton didn't dare to say anything else and
immediately nodded, "I'll go right now.’ With that, he turned around quickly and conveyed the messageto the director team.Soon, they drove away and went directly to the hospital.Twenty minutes later, Lucia
stayed by Janet's side, trying to divert her attention by telling her a story, but the little girl was absent-
minded.After a while, she asked, "Mom, when will Handsome Uncle come?"
Lucia took a deep breath.
Thinking of August's tone on the phone just now, she was even more uncertain.
How did she feel that August was just talking casually and didn't mean to come? However, for fear of
Janet's disappointment, she couldn't tell Janet that directly, so she had to comfort Janet, "Maybe he will
be a little late because he's busy with work."
With that, she stretched out her hand and gently touched Janet's head, patiently persuading her.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden noise from the door of the ward, and then the door was pushed
open.
August walked in.
When Janet, who was lying on the bed, saw the person at the door, her eyes instantly lit up, and she
cried out, "Handsome Uncle!"
In an instant, August's face seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light, and there was a little
tenderness in his eyes.
Lucia was startled.She turned her head to look and saw August walking in all dressed up.
He was wearing a couture suit with no folds, and his hair was slicked back.
Apparently, he was all dressed up to the nines.She hadn't expected that August would come so quickly.
"You..."She was stunned.
Before she could say anything, August walked to the side of the bed.
He leaned down, smiled at Janet on the bed, and asked, "Janet, did you miss me?"
When Janet heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded earnestly, "Of course!"
Seeing that August sat naturally beside the bed and started joking and chatting with Janet, Lucia was
even more shocked.
Unexpectedly, when Janet saw August, she seemed to be back to normal.
But they had only known each other for a while.
Could it be that there was some unknown magic power in August? But seeing Janet laughing again,
Lucia felt a lot more relieved.
As long as Janet could get better slowly, nothing else mattered to her.
An afternoon passed quickly.
August played with Janet all afternoon, and in the end, he even ate dinner with her.
Watching Janet eat some chicken soup and two pieces of bread, Lucia secretly breathed a sigh of
relief.
Two days ago, Janet couldn't even finish half a bowl of soup.
After dinner, it was getting late.Maybe guessing that August was leaving, Janet stretched out her hand, tugged at August's clothes,
and refused to let go.
She looked at him with big round eyes and asked, "Handsome Uncle, are you leaving?"
August stretched out his hand and lightly tapped her forehead, "I'll leave when you fall asleep."
"Okay."
Janet nodded and closed her eyes obediently.
After a short while, Janet fell asleep.
With her long eyelashes and peaceful sleeping face, she looked like a Barbie doll.
August saw that she was asleep, so he got up slowly, picked up his suit jacket on the side, looked up at
Lucia, and said softly, "I'm leaving."
With that, he walked towards the door.
Watching him walk out of the door, Lucia suddenly felt empty, as if something was missing.
