Chapter 544 You're Courting Death

Lucia couldn't help but smiled crookedly as if she had seen Burton's dawn of victory. She was so excited that she immediately wanted to reach for the phone on the table and tell him the good news.

But her hand had only just reached out when it was pressed by a large palm. The man's low magnetic voice sounded. above her head, "Don't move, and I'll inform Burton for you."

With her face burning, Lucia didn't expect her thoughts had been seen through by August. She had to withdraw her hand. and did not speak again.

Catching the flickering expression on the woman's face, August couldn't help but curl his lips and whisper, "Get some rest, and don't move. I'll call to tell him myself."

With that, he drove his wheelchair and left the ward.

He viewed Burton as his friend, and if he had a more important thing to do, he certainly would not stop him.

Outside the ward, there was a group of patients' families arguing noisily not far from the door, so August frowned

slightly and drove his wheelchair to a less crowded window not far away to make a phone call.

While August was dialing the number, a man in cleaning clothes pushed open the door of Lucia's ward and quickly went in.

And over there, August, who was concentrating on dialing the phone, didn't even notice.

Meanwhile, in the ward.

Lucia was lying on the bed when she heard a click from the doorway. Being happy, she subconsciously asked, "You finished the phone call so soon?"

The man who just walked to the end of the bed was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and said, "I'm the cleaner from the hospital to come over to sanitize."

The man's voice was rustling, like the sound of a razor blade sliding on sandpaper, making it inexplicably uncomfortable to listen to.

Lucia was a little surprised and turned her head sideways to see the man's face, but she didn't realize that she couldn't see what the man looked like at all, because the man was bending over, head down, and the brim of his hat was pressed very low.
