Chapter 220 She Fell Asleep In The Car

As soon as Paula saw him, she lowered her head in a guilty conscience, "I seem to have caused trouble for Lucia again..."

Seeing Lucia's slightly swollen cheek, Paul blinked, and he quickly asked, "Lucia, what's wrong with your face?"

Lucia turned her swollen cheek away and said, "It's okay.Paula got drunk.Take her back."

Seeing this, Paul didn't need to ask any further questions.He had guessed what was going on and reached out to take Paula.He knew his sister's temperament well.He generally didn't allow her to go to nightclubs or bars because he was afraid that she would cause trouble.

This time, it was rare for him to approve it.She went to the bar run by her good friend but still made trouble.

He frowned, turned to look at his subordinate not far behind, and commanded coldly, "Take a taxi to take her home."

His subordinate nodded and helped Paula into a taxi.

Lucia took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Paul, you can go back.I can go home by myself."

"I'll take you back."

Paul's tone was firm.

Looking at her slightly swollen cheek, he somehow felt a little distressed in his heart.

How could a man bear to watch his beloved woman get hurt? Lucia raised her eyes and was about to decline, "No need..."

Unexpectedly, Paul suddenly grabbed her arm and walked to the side.He smelt pleasant, which somehow made her feel safe.He took her across half a block and stopped at the door of a pharmacy.

Paul let go of his hand and looked back at her, "You wait here.I'll go buy you some medicine."

He walked into the pharmacy.

After a short while, when he came back, he had a tube of anti-swelling ointment and some cotton swabs in his hand.

Lucia's heart warmed.She hadn't expected that he would bring her to buy medicine first.

Paul smiled at her and said slowly, "Let's go.Get in the car and apply it.There are too many people here."

Hearing this, Lucia was slightly startled.

Paul was much more considerate than she had imagined.She followed him obediently into the car.

As soon as they got in the car, Paul said softly, "I know Paula's temperament.She is reckless.Thanks for helping her."

At this moment, Lucia had calmed down.

She smiled, "It's not her fault.She just drank too much."

Besides, Gigi had started the fight today.It wasn't Paula's fault.

"I'll apply the ointment for you."

Paul took out a cotton swab, dipped it in the ointment, and leaned over to her.

The car was a closed space.

When he approached, the distance between them suddenly narrowed.

Lucia turned her face sideways, and couldn't help holding her breath.

Paul pinched the cotton swab and looked at Lucia's profile, feeling nervous.

The cool ointment touched her cheek and he applied a thin layer.

Although it was a bit tingling, Lucia resisted making no sound.

"Alright."

Finally, Paul applied the ointment and retracted his hand.

Both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Paul blushed a little.

He started the car, and said softly, "Take a rest.I'll take you home."

"Okay."

Lucia looked away and looked out the window.Her tense body slowly relaxed.

The glass of wine she had drunk in the bar just now slowly kicked in and she gradually felt a little sleepy.She slowly fell asleep.

Looking at Lucia's sleeping face, Paul couldn't help smiling.He deliberately slowed down the car and drove the car more steadily.He wished this moment would last longer.

When the car was approaching the gate of the community, Lucia's phone in her bag next to her suddenly rang.

The phone screen was flickering and vibrating non-stop.

Paul heard the sound and immediately picked up the phone for fear of waking Lucia.

The moment he was about to turn off the screen, he instinctively glanced at it.

When he saw the caller ID "August", his heart tightened suddenly.

He turned his head slightly and looked at Lucia, who was still sleeping soundly beside him, with mixed feelings.

After hesitating for two seconds, he pressed the answer button and said, "Hello? What's the matter?"

August was slightly startled on the other end of the phone when he heard Paul's voice.He frowned the next second, "Who are you?"

Paul frowned and said in a low voice, "Her friend.She fell asleep in the car.You can call her another day."

With that, without waiting for August to say anything, he hung up the phone.

On the other side, August's face darkened instantly.

He glanced at his phone after he was hung up on.

When he saw the time, an inexplicable annoyance arose in his heart.

He certainly recognized Paul's voice.

It was so late and they were still together! Lucia had fallen asleep in his car! Was she stupid or naive? It was such a dangerous act! What was more, he had told her to abide by the content of the contract, but she didn't take his words seriously! He felt so annoyed, and slowly tightened his grip on his phone.

In the end, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He called his subordinate outside the door, and instructed, "Contact the director of the People’s Hospital and tell him that I will be transferred to their hospital tomorrow."

His subordinate was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me to contact him now?"

August's face looked cold and he said, "Now!"

On the other side, Lucia had just woken up.She looked out the window and found they had reached the downstairs of her apartment.She quickly straightened up.

"I'm sorry."

She smiled apologetically at Paul, "! fell asleep accidentally.Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Paul smiled, "No, we just arrived."

Lucia smiled at him, picked up her bag and her phone, pushed the door open, and got off the car, "Thank you.Goodbye."

Paul hesitated and was about to tell her about the phone call he had just answered when she got off the car, closed the door, waved at him, and turned around.

Paul smiled helplessly.His eyes lingered on Lucia for two seconds before he came to his sense and started the car.He was selfish.

From the first time he met August, he could vaguely feel that August would be one of his opponents, either in business or emotionally.

August was one of the few candidates who could be regarded as an opponent in the past few years.

Lucia took a nap and felt much better.

After returning home, she took a shower, picked up her phone, and sent Elisa a message, [Have you gone to bed?]

Soon, she got a reply, [Your dad has fallen asleep.I'm going to bed now.]

[Okay, goodnight.I'll see you tomorrow]

After sending the message, Lucia felt a little better.She had been used to checking on her parents for the past few days. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

In a few days, it would be the day of her father's surgery.

Dr.Long had specially instructed that the patient's condition was very important before the surgery.

So she naturally paid attention to it.

As long as this operation succeeded, she wouldn't have worked so hard recently and signed the contract in vain.
