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 strode forward with a stern look. He then stretched out his arm to drag her close to him and removed the cloth from her mouth. Lucia couldn't help coughing drily as her throat really ached. August then took out a Swiss Army Knife and swiftly cut off the cord to release her body.

"Keep Nolan under control and collect his weapon." After dictating that to his staff, August led Lucia, who was in a gaze, toward the car by holding her shoulder.

Lucia didn't really recover from the shock until she got on the car. Looking at the bottle of water August passed her, she turned to him swiftly, as though suddenly remembering something, and asked with great concern, "How's my father?" August's forehead knotted to a faint frown as he spoke blandly from between the previously compressed lips, "In the hospital. Mrs. Mitchell says he passed out." "What!" Lucia exclaimed, feeling stressed out again just minutes after she had got relieved. Her nose twitched as she bit her lip tightly. That was the scenario she had least anticipated and things just did develop that way. With tears in her eyes, Lucia grasped August's wrist desperately, "I'll go the hospital! Now!"

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.
