Chapter 256 Making Her Feel Guilty

When Lucia raised her head, she happened to meet Jeanne's eyes.

Both of them kept silent, but they seemed to have read each other's mind by eye contract.

Lucia looked away first, and when she thought of what had happened last night, she couldn't help feeling troubled.

Last night, she had had a fever and been in a daze.

And she had never expected that August would go to meet her or stay at her home to I take care of her all night.

They had indeed spent a night together, so she found it hard to give a convincing explanation.

Hearing her words, Jeanne frowned seemingly angrily, turned her head to look at her, and said coldly, "Bonnie, shut up!"

Instantly, Bonnie stopped murmuring.

Seeing this, Lucia took a deep breath and tightly clasped her hands, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Even if the explanation would be useless, she must explain now.

But my fever did not reduce after I took the antipyretics.

President Adams was afraid that something would happen to me, so he stayed at my home."

Lucia took a deep breath and continued, "I swear there is nothing between us.

I'm sorry that I forgot about President Adams's status and ignored your relationship with him."

Now, she could only take all the blame.

Otherwise, August and Jeanne might have a quarrel because of her.
