Lucy could hear her heart thundering but she still chose to deny it.
“I’m not blind. Did you think I wouldn’t be able to tell?”
At this time, Joel took Lucy’s hand again.
Lucy did not know what to do, so she lowered her head and chose to escape.
Joel wanted to break down. Why was this woman so unwilling to admit that she had feelings for him?
How difficult could acknowledging it be?
“Lucy Katz!”
Lucy had been struggling as if she did not want Joel to touch her.
At this moment, Mace Smith also heard the news of Lucy’s hospitalization.
He immediately dropped the work in his hands and rushed to the hospital.
Although Mace and Lucy were technically husband and wife, the two knew that it was just a contract written on paper.
At that time, Lucy needed money and Mace needed a wife.
By coincidence, the two of them became husband and wife, each obtaining what they needed.
In this situation, the two should be respectful and not interfere with the other.
However, Mace did not want that. He had long been in love with Lucy but he did not dare to reveal his feelings to her. He already knew that Lucy did not like him at all.
Furthermore, he felt like Lucy and he was getting along well now, so he did not want to break the ring of their relationship because of his impatience and selfish desires.
That was because according to Lucy’s temper, if he confessed to her, she would choose to run away from him.
Therefore, Mace decided to keep the status quo and hide his love in his heart.
He did not expect that Lucy would have an accident and end up at the hospital.
Now, he felt like an ant on a hot pan.
Putting on his coat, he ran out of the office and rushed to the hospital.
It was not easy to arrive at the hospital. He dashed up to the front desk before he could remember to lock his car.
“H-Hello. Could you tell me if there’s an injured female patient called Lucy Katz who came in today? What ward is she in?”
Mace gasped between breaths.
The receptionist quickly told him the ward seeing how nervous he was.
“Thank you, thank you.”
After getting the information, Mace quickly thanked the lady and ran directly to the elevator.
In the quiet hospital corridor, Mace’s frantic footsteps sounded even more urgent.
He finally reached the door of the ward. Standing outside the door, he adjusted his clothes and forced his emotions to calm down.
After all, he could not meet Lucy with such a miserable appearance. He had to maintain a perfect demeanor.
After finally adjusting himself, a smile appeared on his face and he opened the door.
He hoped that what Lucy saw when she first saw him would be his smile.
However, he had never expected that there would be another man in the ward.
Joel Foster!
What surprised him even more was that from this angle, Joel was hugging Lucy.
Mace froze in place.
They...
Mace was afraid that Joel would do something else to Lucy, so he shielded Lucy behind him as he questioned Joel.
“It’s nothing.” Joel did not want to get involved with the man in front of him anymore and just stood silently.
At that time, Mace quickly rushed over to the bed to look over Lucy.
“Are you alright?”
Due to what had just happened, Lucy’s heart was in a panic and there were tears in her eyes.
She did not answer Mace’s question.
“Why are you still crying? Did that b*stard bully you? Tell me. I’ll take revenge for you.”
Mace knew that the arrogant man he just pulled away was bad news.
He almost died of heartache looking at Lucy’s weeping appearance.
After all, he had seen what happened when he first entered the ward.
“Since someone is here to take care of you, I’ll leave now.”
Joel could not stomach watching the loving affection between Mace and Lucy, and turned to leave after muttering this.
His back contained a hint of loneliness.
“Let me tell you. If I find out that you bully her again, I won’t forgive you!”
Seeing Joel about to leave, Mace pointed at him fiercely and warned him by the hospital bed.
How would Mace be willing to let Lucy receive this kind of hurt?
“Everything’s fine now, don’t cry. Rest well. I’ve already made him leave. It won’t happen again.”
Mace closed the ward door, poured Lucy a cup of hot water, and handed it to her, comforting her.
