After a loud "bang", Lucia slowly slid down the white wall as if she had been drained of strength and then fell to the

ground. When she stared blankly, her tears fell along her slightly thin cheeks and then mixed with the dried blood in her

chest

After a brief silence, the living room became noisy again.

After Joshua broke in, some highly trained fighters quickly rushed up to subdue Ethan and Mark and aimed dark and cold

guns at their temples.

The freezing air in Lucia's throat dissipated. After a long time, she finally realized what had happened. She threw the gun

in her hands away, held her head tightly, and began screaming. The bullet had hit the iron plate accurately, making a

deep pit.

Although August's expression was cold, the tension and anxiety in his eyes were obvious. Since he had joined the

organization, he had been living an extremely dangerous life. But he had long gotten used to it because he had frequent

brushes with death. However, Lucia was different. He had never felt so nervous before and was afraid what had

happened today would have a bad influence on her.

After Joshua quickly untied August's hands, the latter immediately stepped forward, held Lucia with a pale face into his

arms, and said, "Don't be afraid. It's all over..."

Lucia clenched his sleeves and uncontrollably trembled. When she stopped her ear-piercing scream, she closed her eyes,

lost consciousness, and then limply in his arms.

When she opened her eyes again, a few days had passed. Smelling the pungent disinfectant, she frowned in disgust. Since

she had returned from Amecan, the hospital seemed to have become her second home. And she often opened her eyes in

a ward full of the smell of disinfectant. When smelling it again now, she felt like vomiting and could not help retching. So,

she hurriedly patted her chest.

When August opened the door and saw this, he quickly stepped forward, handed a glass of water to her, and asked in a

deep voice, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After staring at him blankly for a while, she suddenly dropped the glass and threw herself into his arms, saying, "You're

still alive!"

August felt distressed, so he caressed her hair and kissed her forehead repeatedly. When she gradually stabilized her

breathing, he said, "You did a good job, so I was not hurt. But you..."

There were "patches" all over her body. Half of her delicate face was covered by gauze, and so were her forehead and

fingers. And she had been put on a drip.

Even so, she still had a gentle smile on her face when responding softly, "These are just minor wounds! We are lucky to

survive."

Then, they looked at each other and smiled.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward. Burton stood at the door, looked at them in embarrassment, and

said in a muffled voice, "Mr. Adams, there is a message from Griffith Organization."

They must accept the message from Griffith Organization as soon as possible no matter what. This was a rule of the

organization.

August shot a glance at her. When he was about to get up to leave, she quickly stopped him and said, "If the message is

related to this mission, I will have the right to listen. You can't avoid me."

He responded coldly, "You should have a good rest now."

Lucia felt anxious, so she quickly said, "I am not as fragile as you imagined. And I can calmly face what happened that

night."

August looked at her deeply for a long time but was defeated by the stubbornness in her eyes, so he raised his head to

signal Burton to report to him in the ward.

"The bureau has wiped out Mark's informers, and Ethan has been brought to justice according to the legal procedures.-

Thanks to you and your wife, this mission has been completed." Burton then paused, looking at Lucia with a hesitant

expression.

See this, she said in a deep voice, "Speak frankly. Don't hide anything from me."

"Mark's case is not under the jurisdiction of our organization, so we've transferred him to the responsible department

accordingly. But he said that he must see you before he..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lucia raised her hand to signal him to stop and said, "Please help me get discharged

from the hospital. I will cooperate with the organization as soon as possible. By the way, let Dr. Capet wait for me at

home."

What had happened did have scared her, and now, she had to face Mark again. She had just calmed down and would

become emotional soon. So, she could only ask Sophie to stay by her side because she might need psychological

counseling at any time.

When August heard her words, he reject her without hesitation and pushed her back to the hospital bed. She couldn't

convince him, so she showed a helpless face and said, "These are all minor injuries. I can convalesce at home. I'm very

curious about why Mark wants to meet me. The more you stop me, the more uncomfortable I will feel."

While speaking, she signaled Burton to hurry to go through the discharge procedures.

As soon as he left, she suddenly patted the top of her head and muttered with regret, "I forgot to ask him about Paula's

condition."

Although her voice was not loud, August heard her words clearly.

"Mark and Ethan didn't know that there was a person in Vordan Pavilion. Sophie contacted Joshua and asked him to rush

there as soon as she noticed something wrong. So, Paula didn't know what had happened from the beginning to the end."

"That's good." After she breathed a sigh of relief, she belatedly realized that August had been frowning since he had

entered the ward. It seemed that there was still some tricky problem.

August didn't intend to hide it from her, so he said in a cold voice, "To avoid similar incidents, the bureau has dealt with

Ethan urgently. So, the clues to the international organization were cut off."

"International organization?" She looked at him in confusion.

August nodded slowly with a cold look, "Ethan's ability alone cannot support such an international chain, so there must

be greater forces behind him."

Hearing this, Lucia showed a worried look and hesitantly asked, "What's your plan? The organization will not wait for

the windfall, right?"

"The bait has been set up, but I don't know when they will bite it." Then, he showed a cold look and said in a gloomy

voice, "You seem to be very interested in this matter."

"I am not interested." She looked at him intensely and replied softly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get out after

you return to Griffith Organization this time. I want to stay by your side."

Staying by his side was tantamount to staying in Griffith Organization and living a hopeless life like him.

Lucia held August's hand tightly and then said word by word before he could speak, "I know you will refuse, but I want to

do my best to protect you. I don't want to become your burden. Nor do I want such an incident to recur." August frowned, "Your life should be smooth..."

She chuckled, moved her gauze-wrapped hands, and asked jokingly, "Do you think I am living a smooth life now?" Meeting her bright eyes, August suddenly understood her decision. After his Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly, he

laughed and replied helplessly, "Griffith Organization is not a place where you can enter at will. Flynt may reject you."

Lucia grinned, "You will never know whether he will agree unless I give it a shoot!"
