Lucia was stunned. She then saw the door of a car at the side open to reveal a tall figure before she could react.

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.
