Chapter 568 August Was Jealous
As Darnell said, he got up immediately, picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair next to Lucia, walked to her side quickly, and said solemnly, "I haven't drunk, so I can drive you." Before Lucia could reply, Darnell had already walked towards the door with his long legs. She was stunned, and quickly trotted to follow.
The off-road vehicle was galloping forward on the wide road. Along the way, Darnell didn't say a word, his face was serious and he drove
the car with concentration. Arriving at Forest Clinic, Lucia asked the front desk for the room number, and then rushed over there without any delay. Darnell was worried, so he also went there.
Lucia was so anxious that she almost trotted along the way. When passing through the corridor of the ward, a nurse pushed the aseptic trolley and walked towards this side quickly. Lucia couldn't stop for a while because she was running. She almost hit it. Suddenly, her shoulders were tightened, and a pair of big hands stretched out from behind, gripping her shoulders tightly, preventing her from hitting it directly.
Lucia's heart was beating fast. She had just stood on her side, and when she turned her head, she saw Darnell who was holding her firmly behind her. She was about to thank him, but she heard him say, "A minute or two doesn't matter, and can you run with your legs?" Lucia frowned, feeling the pain of the wound on her leg. At this moment, she really shouldn't run anymore. However, she was wearing a long skirt today, and the wound was completely covered, so how did he know she was injured? But the top priority was not to understand these. Lucia took a deep breath, calmed her down, and continued to walk forward. Although she walked very fast this time, she did not run again.
According to the information provided by the front desk, Lucia looked for the ward number all the way, and finally saw the corresponding number. She ran over without thinking. When she reached the door, she raised her hand without hesitation, pressed the doorknob, pushed the door open and entered.
With a "bang", she pushed the door open, and everyone in the room looked at her in unison, August, Joshua and Kylan. They were all sitting by the sofa in the small living room, looking at her with slightly dazed expressions. Lucia was also stunned, and quickly realized something. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Garnett? Where is he?"
Joshua raised his chin towards a direction, and said softly, "There. He doesn't want to see people." Lucia turned her head to look over, and find that there was a small corridor over there, which leads to another room. The conditions of private hospitals were better than those of public hospitals. The wards were suites. When you opened the door, you just entered into a small living room, and the real wards could only be reached through a small corridor.
Lucia wanted to ask more about the situation, but suddenly found that August, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked a little cold, who was staring straight at the direction behind her. She noticed something, and immediately turned her head to look. She saw, Darnell, a tall man in military uniform standing behind her. She was slightly surprised. How did he come here?
Immediately, the atmosphere in the small living room was a little weird. August and Joshua measured Darnell up silently. At this moment, Kylan stood up suddenly, and asked slightly surprised, "Darnell, why are you here?"
Darnell didn't change his expression, and said calmly, "I happened to be with her, and I heard that she has something to do here, so I drove her here." Although it was a very normal sentence, it had extremely many meanings when it fell into August's ears.
August, who was sitting in a wheelchair, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Darnell, and almost quickly determined that this man was the man he saw with Lucia in the car last time.
He looked away, glanced at Lucia, temporarily suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said in a low tone, "The doctor said that his current situation is tricky. He only wants to see people he trusts. You can try it."
Lucia continued, "I know you must have gone through a lot recently. I can understand that you don't trust anyone, but I can assure you that I really want to help you. Just over a week ago, I have met Jeff..."
Hearing this Dharma name, Garnett finally reacted. He poked his head out from under the quilt and looked at Lucia motionlessly. He was still defensive, staring at her without saying a word.
Lucia hooked the corners of her lips at him, and then calmly described some scenes when she saw Jeff, and then said, "Even if Jeff put a knife on my neck, I am not afraid. I will not admit to those things that I have not done. So, before the truth of the matter is revealed, I want to guarantee your safety, and you have to wait until the moment when the truth is revealed."
Garnett seemed to be partly comprehending, and half-believing, leaning on the head of the bed and staring at her, but didn't say a word.
Lucia took a deep breath, and said wearily, "If I really had axe to grind, I wouldn't tell you so much now." Garnett still didn't say anything.
Lucia sighed, and was a little exhausted. She said so much just now, but how many words did Garnett understand? And it was not realistic to let Garnett completely let go of his guard just by her few words. "You just have a good rest. If you want to see me, just tell the people here at any time." After finishing speaking, Lucia sighed lightly, and walked out lightly. As soon as she walked to the small living room, all the men in the room looked at her.
