Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 67

Lucia hid behind the door of the consulting room, with her limbs freezing cold.She bit her lower lip and felt the pain, which slowly brought her back to her senses.

No wonder August had wanted to marry her, taken her for a thorough examination, and said that her body was more than hers.

It turned out that all of this had been deliberately planned for a long time! He had married her so that she could donate her kidney to the woman he loved! The feeling of suffocation weighed on Lucia, leaving her almost breathless.

This fact was nothing else but the cruelest blow to her and she happened to be pregnant with August's child at this point! She would never let them have their way! She wouldn't donate her kidney to Jeanne! She would escape from this terrible plot with the baby in her belly, and from August! Something was slowly determined in her mind.

Lucia gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Hearing no more sound outside, she cautiously poked her head out to take a look and walked out quickly when she saw that no one was out there.

She had to get out of here right now! She walked quickly to the elevator and inevitably stumbled due to her nervousness.

Suddenly, the door of the ward opened and Burton came out of it.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances when he saw a suspicious figure rushing away.

That figure looked somewhat familiar.

Burton took a closer look and the expression on his face changed instantly.

It was Lucia! What was she doing here? Did she find it out? Burton panicked and immediately turned around to knock on the door of the ward.

He opened the door to get in, walked up to August, and said in a low voice, "Bad news, Mr.Adams.I just saw Mrs.Adams outside."

The look in August's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"What?"

"What's wrong, August?"

The woman, who was reading a book by the window in the sun, suddenly raised her head and looked at them with confusion.

August raised his eyes and looked at Jeanne who was pale in her white dress.

The look in his eyes softened a bit.

"Nothing special.Just some business.Don't worry."

Jeanne nodded.

She lowered her head and went back to her book.

Walking out of the ward, August closed the door behind him before he looked at Burton, signaling to him to continue.

"Just now I came out and saw Mrs.Adams rushing over to the elevator.I think..."

August's eyes darkened.

"You mean she found it out?"

Burton nodded.

"Yes, I think so."

August frowned and paused for a few seconds before he said in a cold voice, "I'll go back and see."

"Well, what about Miss Kelly?"

"Tell her I have something to do and I'll be back to see her later."

With that, August strode out.

His plan would get disrupted if Lucia really found it out ahead of time, so he had to hurry back and talk to her about it! Meanwhile, Lucia was trembling uncontrollably as she sat in the taxi.

The secret she had inadvertently discovered was too great a blow for her to accept in a short time.

The driver up front took a few more looks at Lucia when he saw how pale and flustered she was.

Finally, the driver could not help but ask, "Do you need help, girl?"

Lucia shook her head blankly and clenched her hands.

"No, please drive faster.Thank you very much."

Now she just wanted to get back to the house, pack her things up and escape from August as soon as possible. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Hearing that, the driver stopped asking and stepped on the gas to speed up the car.

Soon, the car arrived at the house.

Lucia paid the fare, got out of the car in a panic, and walked quickly into the house Without telling Turner, Lucia immediately went back to her bedroom, pulled out her suitcase, and began to pack.

She hadn't spent so many days with August, but now it felt like a dream when she thought about it.

At the end of the day, she realized that it was a nightmare! She hurriedly stuffed her things into the suitcase and tears came out of her eyes before she knew it.

She had thought that she was really lucky to marry such a perfect man, only to find that she had been cheated in the end! She raised her hand, wiped her tears haphazardly with its back, and tried to zip up the suitcase.

Just as she was halfway through, a cold male voice came from behind her.

"Where are you going, Lucia?"

Lucia trembled and turned around instantly looking at August with panic and fear.She gritted her teeth.

"You...stop calling me Lucia!"

August frowned slightly and stepped forward.

The look in his eyes was as calm as ever when he asked in a deep voice, "You found it all out?"

Lucia laughed in a hoarse voice.

"Or what? How much longer do you want to hide it from me?"

"I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Something dark flickered in the man's eyes.

"It was just not the right time to tell you."

Lucia clenched her fists and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"So what? When were you planning to tell me? When I'm forced into signing some kind of kidney donation agreement?"

The look in August's calm eyes finally changed and a sense of guilt grew at the bottom of his heart as he looked at the woman in front of him with red and swollen eyes.

He shouldn't have kept it from her until now.

He had looked for two whole years without finding a right kidney donor for Jeanne.

And now Lucia was the only one who could save Jeanne's life.

He was afraid that Jeanne wouldn't make it to that day when he found another one.

He raised his eyes and said in a serious tone, "Right now, only you can help me."

Lucia subconsciously took a step back and curled her lips into a bitter smile.

After a few seconds, she said lightly, "I can't help you or donate my kidney because I'm pregnant."

Hearing that, August knitted his brows and couldn't speak for quite a while.

He had never expected that she would be pregnant at this point.

Lucia gritted her teeth and gathered her courage.

"I'm leaving you, August, but I'll keep the baby."

She didn't want to have anything more to do with him.

After these words, she zipped up her suitcase, lifted it, and headed out.

The moment she brushed past the man, Lucia suddenly felt a tight grip on her arm.She looked up and met the man's deep eyes.

His voice was deep and husky.

"Please help Jeanne, Lucia.She doesn't have much time left."

Lucia clenched her fists and asked coldly, "What about my baby?"

August finally moved his taut lips.

"Abort it, and I'll make it up to you."

These words came as a bolt from the blue to Lucia.

She exploded with anger and shook August's hand off, looking at him in disbelief.

"It's your child, August!"

Just to save Jeanne, he actually asked her to abort his child and donate her kidney to that woman! August's eyes darkened.

He looked at Lucia and said in a deep voice, "I will do whatever you want."

He would do anything she wanted if she agreed to save Jeanne's life.

His words wrenched at her heart.

Lucia bit her lip and a cold smile showed up in her eyes.

After a few seconds, she said word by word, "No way.I will never donate my kidney to her!"

With that, she walked straight around him towards the side.

August frowned and immediately stepped up to follow her.

"Lucia!"

She wouldn't be so cruel! Lucia had just reached the stairway when her arm was grabbed.

She gritted her teeth and turned around violently to push him away! "Don't you touch me!"

After pushing him away, she staggered back a few steps.

Suddenly, she lost her footing and found herself falling backward uncontrollably!
