Lucia was stunned. She then saw the door of a car at the side open to reveal a tall figure before she could react. Her eyes brightened despite herself with a sigh of relief when she spotted him as August. Though she was reluctant to admit that, she had actually been longing for his appearance in the past two hours and he did turn out to be the one who came to her rescue.

August's heart did a flip when he saw Lucia so flustered. He ordered Burton to head for the hospital at once. Burton turned the car round immediately and put his foot down, roaring toward the hospital.
