Chapter 538 Who Saved Her Five Years Ago?

10

On the way back from the east coast, Lucia huddled in the car, feeling cold.

Maybe it was because she had spent too much time in the wind at the beach, or because she had experienced too many terrible things this evening. Her hands and feet were cold to the bone, and they didn’t get warmer after a long time. August, who was sitting next to her, noticed it and saw her clasped hands. He moved his eyebrows slightly and then stretched out his hands to hold hers gently.

The woman’s hands were freezing cold, like a block of ice. He wanted to warm them up for her, but Lucia started and tried to pull them back.

August frowned slightly. He held her hands harder and refused to let go of them.

He turned to meet the woman’s eyes. She looked tired, alarmed, and cold.

When she tried to pull her hands away again, August said in a slightly sullen tone, “Don’t move.”

With that, he wrapped her small hands tightly in his big hands. The warmth spread to her palms, somehow soothing her.

Lucia took a deep breath and asked suddenly, “Do you remember the incident five years ago when I was tied to the lighthouse?”

Hearing that, he gave a slight pause and responded in a low voice, “Yes.”

Lucia bit her lip slightly and turned to look at him. “But I don’t remember very well. Did you… save me then?” August’s eyes were dark and obscure. His Adam’s apple moved up and down and he said lightly, “Forget it and let bygones be bygones. You don’t have to think about the bad things.”

After that, he leaned back in his seat, looking tired, and closed his eyes slightly, without letting go of her hands. Hearing his words, Lucia fell into silence. She remembered what Bishop had said at the beach, and became more uneasy. What happened five years ago? She wanted to know, but now she thought that August wouldn’t tell her.
