Chapter 041

Lucia wanted to hide it, but her reaction just made it more obvious. Turner looked at her and then at August’s

expression. She guessed what was going on and smiled as she walked to the side, leaving them alone.

August watched as the woman bowed her head and ate only the dish in front of her, blushing and refusing to look up. The smile on his face grew a bit bigger.

She was quite cute like this, so he couldn’t help but want to tease her.

He deliberately cleared his throat and said, “Don’t just eat vegetables. Have some meat and get stronger.”

Although she usually ate a lot, she was still quite thin. Before they came back from the old house last time, Grandma had specifically asked him to urge Lucia to eat more and grow stronger. It would be better if she could gain a few pounds.

“Oh.” Lucia casually responded before she took his words in. “What do you mean?”

She didn’t think she needed to be stronger. Instead, he needed to have more nourishment because of the wound on his lower back.

Thinking of that, she turned to Turner and said before August answered, “Turner, what is good for the back?”

“For the back?” Turner stopped what she was doing and said, ’’Turtles, pig’s kidneys, and pigeon eggs are all

good for the lower back.” Hearing that, Lucia said without hesitation, “Then buy more ingredients that are good for the lower back in the next few days, Turner. You can use them in soups or stir-fries so that August can get stronger.”

Turner had a subtle expression on her face when she heard that. She looked at August and then said, “Okay.”

August noticed the smile on Turner’s face and realized almost instantly that she had gotten it wrong. His grip on the fork tightened and he immediately said, “No, I’m good.” With a body like his, he didn’t need anything good for the lower back. Lucia knew it well enough, didn’t she?

“Why not?” Lucia took a bite of ribs and said in an affirmative tone without realizing the connotation of this topic, “I think you need it.”

August’s face darkened with embarrassment as her words came out.
