Chapter 56

Seeing Lucia’s reaction like this, August froze.

It seemed that something was wrong with her from the moment he met her at the restaurant at noon.

He reached out and pulled the quilt, but Lucia wrapped herself up so tightly that he couldn’t pull it off.

"Lucia?"

She didn’t respond to his call.

August had no choice but simply stood up and reached out his hand to directly pick up both the quilt and Lucia.

Lucia panicked and pulled the quilt away, "You… put me down!"

She didn’t want to see him and thought he would leave if he saw her ignoring him, but she didn’t expect him to do that! At that, August refused to let go and just held her.

Probably because she was angry or anxious, Lucia’s face turned red, "Put me down!"

Seeing that she was anxious, August raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Lucia blushed, "I… no! I’m just tired!"

Hearing her say that, August put her right down on the bed, and quickly pressed the quilt down to prevent her from covering her head again.

He leaned down and asked softly with his eyes darkening, "How did you fall into the pool?"

She was an adult and would not jump into the pool for no reason.

He always felt there was something fishy about this.

Even if she had been drinking, she wasn’t drunk enough to do so.

Peter had set a time for the surgery.

At this critical moment, he had to make sure she was absolutely safe and she couldn’t get sick or injured.

Lucia bit her lip and said softly, "l-I was dizzy, so I went out for a walk.I was walking right next to the pool when suddenly felt like someone pushed me and I fell in…"

Hearing Lucia’s description, August slightly scowled, "You mean someone pushed you?"

Lucia mumbled, "Well…it seemed so."

It seemed so? Listening to the woman’s ambiguous answer, August couldn’t help but frown.

She must have been drinking a lot that she couldn’t even remember if someone pushed her.
