Chapter 213 She Made Soup For Him Lucia went to Burton's ward next door to have a look.
Seeing that he was okay, she left the ward. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
When she was hesitating about whether to go back by herself, Joshua suddenly opened the door open and walked out.
He smiled at her and shook the car key in his hand, "Let's go.
I'll take you back."
Lucia nodded politely at him, "Well, thanks."
After coming out of the hospital and getting into the car, Lucia didn't say anything.
After all, she and Joshua were not very familiar with each other.
But Joshua was the kind of person who couldn't stand silence.
After waiting for a long time without Lucia speaking, he couldn't stand it anymore.
He took the initiative to find several topics, but Lucia lacked interest and responded casually, without any desire to continue the conversation.
When she thought that August was still lying in the hospital, she was not in the mood to chat.
Joshua saw that she was not interested, so he shut up and stopped talking.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the community, and Lucia said softly, "Here I am.
Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Joshua smiled, glanced at her, and said suddenly, "If you are worried about August, go to the hospital to see him another day."
He moved slightly closer to her, blinked, and said, "I'll tell you a secret.
August likes fish soup when he's sick."
Lucia was stunned.
After two seconds, she smiled at him, got off the car, and closed the door.
Stepping into the community, Lucia was a little dazed, and the words Joshua had said just now flashed in her mind several times.
Since August liked the fish soup, should she learn how to make the soup? The thought just flashed in her mind.
But in the next second, she immediately dismissed the thought.
What August liked had nothing to do with her.
Besides, she didn't cause the car accident this time.
She should do her work well.
Why would she care so much? She scolded herself in her heart, and only then did she wake up a little, and walked quickly towards the apartment building.
But when she was passing by the supermarket in the community, her pace slowed down a lot.
There seemed to be two ideas fighting in her mind and her head was buzzing.
She gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and walked quickly into the corridor of the apartment building.
Just when she took two steps, she thought of August bleeding in the car, and her heart tensed.
She turned around and went to the supermarket to buy fish.
She was hungry.
So she would make the soup just for herself! Thinking of this, she felt a lot more balanced.
Back in the small apartment, Lucia changed her clothes, put on her apron, and started cooking.
She walked to the sink and looked at the fish that hadn't been scaled, and suddenly had a headache.
She had bought it just now on a whim, and she didn't think about the follow-up problems.
Now, looking at such a fish, she was completely helpless and didn't know what to do.
She took out her phone and watched the video tutorial online for a long time.
Then she put on gloves, picked up the knife, and started to remove the fish scales according to the techniques in the video.
The fish was sticky and slippery, and it took Lucia a long time to clean up the fish.
Then she followed the steps in the video to prepare all the ingredients.
Before she could turn on the fire, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Lucia paused, took off her gloves, and ran to the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Paula standing outside carrying several bags.
"Lucia, I knew you were at home.
Look at what I've brought!"
Paula excitedly waved the fried chicken and barbecue in her hands, "Hurry up.
Let's eat while it's warm..."
Lucia closed the door and suddenly felt like crying when she thought about the unfinished work in the kitchen.
She turned around, took the bags in Paula's hands, and asked, "Paula, why are you here suddenly?"
"I miss you.
Why I'm not welcome?"
Paula pursed her lips and complained, "Even if you can't be my sister-in-law, aren't we best friends?"
Lucia's heart warmed, and she said with a smile, "I didn't mean that."
How could the relationship between her and Paula be affected by this little thing? "That's right!"
Paula walked towards the kitchen, "I'll go get a drink."
Lucia's heart instantly tightened, and she quickly followed.
As expected, as soon as Paula saw the scene in the kitchen, her eyes widened in surprise.
She turned to look at Lucia and asked, "What are you doing? Are you making fish soup?"
Lucia bit the bullet and nodded.
Paula was keenly aware of something, and said, "For whom?"
Indeed, it was not good that friends knew each other too well, and they couldn't hide anything from each other.
Paula knew too well that Lucia was not the kind of healthy girl who cooked soup for herself when she was free.
She was so dedicated and serious.
She must be doing it for others! Paula blinked curiously, wrapped her arm around Lucia's neck, and asked with a smile, "Who is it?"
Lucia bit her lips, speechless.
She had just rejected Paula's brother a few days ago.
Now she was going to tell Paula that she was making soup for August.
Was it appropriate? Seeing that Lucia didn't speak, Paula leaned closer to the ingredients and looked at them, guessing, "Fish soup? Lucia, this soup has a miraculous effect of promoting lactation.
Could it be that one of your relatives has just had a baby?"
Hearing the words "promoting lactation", Lucia was speechless.
She quickly said, "No, it's just a car accident..."
Before she finished her sentence, she paused, and realized that it was a trap! Paula blinked her dark eyes, leaned in, and said, "Come on, who had a car accident?"
Lucia knew in her heart that she really couldn't get away with it.
Suddenly, she came up with an idea.
She thought of something and hesitantly said softly, "Today, August had a car accident, and Burton was in the car too.
Both of them are in the hospital now."
As soon as she heard Burton's name, Paula's expression suddenly changed.
Two seconds later, she took a deep breath and asked softly, "You said...
Burton had a car accident?"
As expected, when Lucia talked about Burton, Paula's attention was naturally turned to him.
Lucia nodded, "Yes, do you want to go visit him?"
After hesitating for a second, Paula said subconsciously, "No."
With that, she turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Lucia followed her out.
Seeing her look a little dejected, Lucia hurriedly reached out to hold her arm and said, "Paula, if you like him, don't hesitate.
Even if you don't, you should go visit him as a friend at this time."
Hearing her words, Paula hesitated.
She turned slightly, looked at Lucia, and said, "Lucia, I don't know what kind of feelings I have for him..."
Lucia said softly, "Well, follow your heart.
If you want to go, go and see him."
After hesitating for a moment, Paula took a deep breath, walked into the kitchen, and took out a can of cold beer from the refrigerator.
She raised her head and drank half of it.
She looked up at Lucia and said word by word, "Lucia, I still want to go see him."
There was a faint voice in her heart that seemed to be saying that if she didn't go today, she would regret it in the future.
