She Is A CEO

Lauren looked at the back of Lucia's head and couldn't help but feel amused and frustrated. "Lucia, are you muddled because of sickness?" he said. Hearing Lauren's voice, Lucia turned back and stared at him for a few seconds before pouting. "It's not an illusion..."

Lauren smiled and saw that Lucia wanted to sit up, so he reached out to help her. This action immediately made her laugh.

"You don't seem like such a caring person. Taking care of Eve has given you experience?"

Lauren was taken aback by this comment and realized that all his actions were subconscious. He felt embarrassed but didn't know whether to continue or stop.

"Okay, help me up," said Lucia who had been sleeping for a long time and was feeling weak in the body. Since Lauren was willing to help her, why refuse?Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lauren had a complicated expression as he helped Lucia sit upright and even kindly placed a pillow behind her head. After doing all this, he saw that she was staring at him with a smile on her face which made him feel uneasy.

Lucia found it hilarious because it seemed like Eve had trained Lauren well without realizing it...

"I'm guessing you aren't here just to visit me in the hospital?" asked Lucia playfully.

Lauren remained silent as they both knew why he came here - only for Eve! He accidentally saw Arthur leaving the hospital after finishing his work, which prompted him to check on Lucia too.

"So... any results yet?" asked Lucia who was very smart enough to know what brought Lauren here today.

"Hmm," replied Lauren solemnly.

"I guessed right from your expression." laughed Lucia whose sparkling eyes showed how intelligent she really was.

"Nia reduced Eve's medicine dosage." admitted Lauren without hiding anything from Lucia anymore.

Since Lucia reminded him about Nia before, he kept thinking about it until Stoffer swapped the medicine while Eve wasn't around. They replaced Nia's low-dose medication with full-dose medication instead. Sure enough, within just over a month of taking full-dose medication regularly, Eve's condition improved rapidly. Today he brought these medicines along with him for examination by doctors who gave their positive feedback confirming their suspicions: Nia reduced all doses of medicine given by half - meaning that when consumed, they were equivalent to nothing more than placebos.

"It seems like fake sisterhood." sneered Lucia coldly.

"Do you think I should tell Eve?" asked Lauren hesitantly.

"Are you asking my opinion?" chuckled Lucia while looking at Lauren mischievously

This caused Lauren's pupils darken slightly indicating some anger.

"Are you angry?" Lucia smiled. She just wanted to tease him by asking that question just now. She knew Lauren's careful care of Eve, and he didn't have any careful female friends around him to help him. It was not surprising to ask her about her idea.

"Looks like your illness is fine. I'll go back first!" Lauren was arrogant and couldn't bear Lucia's teasing.

"Is a big man so stingy?" Lucia didn't keep him, and said deliberately after Lauren got up.

Her words really forced Lauren to sit down again, proving like a child that he was not a stingy person.

Lucia couldn't help laughing in her heart for a long time. Lauren's temper was very similar to Arthur's; he would always reveal his immaturity when facing matters related to his beloved.

Arms folded, Lauren stared at Lucia sullenly, as if resenting not seeing something in her face.

"Eve is very simple, and she has great trust in Nia. If you tell her the truth, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it." Lucia stopped teasing Lauren, and said to him seriously.

"Can we just let Nia act like this?" The Osades valued family affection, and Lauren saw another layer of darkness in human nature in Nia. She even sacrificed her sister for herself! "Of course not," Lucia said with a smile.

"You just need to protect Eve well. Nia will naturally be anxious when she finds that things are not going in her own direction. Wait for her to reveal her true nature. Step by step, Eve will be more accepting. If you say it yourself, there's a rift between the two of you."

"How troublesome!" Lauren scoffed impatiently. Looking at him, it seemed that he had listened to Lucia's words.

"It's indeed a little bit troublesome, but it can take Eve's emotions into consideration."

Lauren nodded after being silent for a while, looked at Lucia and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"Thank me?" Lucia waved her hand and said,

"You don't need to thank me. I'm only doing it for my own benefit. Nia... I won't keep her. You can take care of Eve's emotions first, and we don't have to stand on the opposite side. Otherwise, I wouldn't give Nia shelter for the time being."

"Now it's her and Kevin's place to live." Lauren said sarcastically.

"She is not kind. She won't be stable for long. I just hope things will go well by then, and I don't want to be your enemy." Lucia said seriously.

Lauren's eyes moved slightly. He nodded and said,

"Then I'll go first. You should have a good rest."

It wouldn't be long before Arthur came back.

Lucia wouldn't keep Lauren, and just as he left, Arthur rushed back. When she saw the sweat on his forehead, Lucia knew he must have hurried back. Looking at him with soft eyes made her heart warm. "Why are you sitting up?" Arthur frowned when he saw Lucia sitting on the bed.

Lucia gently wiped away the sweat from Arthur's forehead and told him about their conversation in detail.

"Nia really went too far." Arthur was disgusted by Nia's actions. Family should be the purest form of love, but she could hurt her own sister who cared for her!

"Although I advised Lauren to let Eve discover the truth herself earlier, judging from Eve's attitude towards Nia, it seems that even if she knows the truth, she will continue to protect her." Lucia expressed

concern.

"They were raised by the same parents but one is so innocent while the other is ruthless. It's really hard to understand." Arthur sighed.

"It will be difficult for Lauren later on. Although we didn't explicitly say it, he probably guessed that we already know his identity..." Lucia also felt uneasy because Lauren fell in love with Nia's sister despite everything else happening around them.

"Forget about him. He chose his own woman and has to take responsibility for it himself. There's no point in us worrying about him," said a calm Arthur before adding, "You just need to focus on taking care of yourself now and not worry about his affairs."

Lucia smiled lightly as she leaned against Arthur's chest; sincerely hoping that Lauren would get what he wanted without ruining a marriage due to someone else's persecution. Lucia stayed in hospital for five days; when she discharged, there was quite a scene!
