Chapter 230 Getting Over the Crux

It was out of Lucia's wildest dream that August could have threatened her in front of so many people.

Yet she became less resolute staring at his sophisticated eyes.She believed August could really make it as he'd claimed if she insisted on sticking here.

Lucia thus could only agree, though still unwilling to meet his eyes, "l'll go with the nurse."

The nurse, who'd been frightened by the situation, led the way for Lucia at once.

And Lucia just followed her immediately without turning her head round.

Seeing Lucia going far away, Elisa hastened to tell August, "I'm sorry to make things so awkward for you, but Lucia is in a bad mood now..."

"It's OK, Mrs.Mitchell, I'll go to look after her." He replied understandingly before he tried to catch up with Lucia.

Looking at the pair who deliberately kept a distance from each other, Elisa sighed with profound resignation.

The nurse had gone through Lucia's wounds, which fortunately were not serious and only needed some basic treatment.

"Don't get them wet.Be careful these days and don't forget to come back to change the dressing." the nurse told Lucia curtly, and added when she noticed August at the door, "You may have a rest here.Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any demand.I'm just in the next room."

Lucia nodded silently.

There were now only the two of them in the room.

Sitting on the chair, Lucia just felt it so difficult to breath as though being suffocating.

August noticed her state, and finally uttered after a long silence, "Don't blame yourself for it.It's not your fault"

Lucia looked up firmly with her clear eyes, "Indeed.It's ultimately your bad."

She had her reason to rebuke him since her father was still in the ICU ward and she was being so exasperated.

Lucia then rose to her feet, which was covered by gauze and could only enable her to hobble out.
