Chapter 068

Lucia fell uncontrollably and landed hard on the staircase with a sharp pain in her back. The next second, she rolled down the stairs. The look on August's face changed instantly. "Lucia!" With a thud, Lucia's ears buzzed and the pain from the impact spread to all her limbs over and over again.

She struggled to open her eyes and found the ceiling more and more blurred. The man's face flashed before her eyes and she thought she saw concern in his cold eyes. Gradually, Lucia blacked out and fell unconscious.

"Call an ambulance, Turner!" Anxiety flickered in August's eyes. He looked at the woman lying on the floor, but he didn't dare to touch her, for fear that it would be worse if he caused further injuries. Turner was stunned when she rushed over and saw Lucia on the floor. She took the phone and called for help right away. Ten minutes later, an ambulance came at full speed with the sound of its siren and stopped at the entrance of the house. Lucia had a long dream in which she was pregnant and about to give birth. For some reason, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in her belly and blood was gushing out. She screamed for help, but there was no one around. When she turned around, she found an all too familiar face. However, August glanced at her indifferently and walked away.

"No!".

Lucia tensed and screamed out abruptly. She opened her eyes and saw a snow-white ceiling. She gasped and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of her forehead and back.

Where... was she? "You are finally awake, Madam!" A familiar voice came to her ears. Lucia paused and slowly turned around to see Turner by her bed. "Where... am I?" She moved her lips and took a breath. For some reason, she felt a pain in her belly at the same time. A look of pity appeared in Turner's eyes. "You're in the hospital. You fell down the stairs at home and have been lying here for two days." Hearing that, Lucia tried to move her body, but to her surprise, she felt like she had been run over by a truck and the pain was killing her. Turner quickly soothed her. "Don't move. You have a lot of injuries and need to rest now. Fortunately, none of your bones are broken. Otherwise, it would have been serious." Lucia frowned. She felt that something was wrong with her body, but she couldn't tell what it was. After a pause, she moved her lips. "Turner... I'm thirsty." Turner immediately reacted to her words, picked up the glass and small spoon nearby, and slowly fed her water. Just then, the door was suddenly opened. "You woke up?"

Lucia shivered involuntarily at the sound of this voice. Turner said, "She just woke up." August nodded slightly. He reached out to take the glass from Turner and said lightly, "I'll do it."

Turner got it and went out of the room right away. The door was closed and it was a lot quieter in the room at once. Lucia glanced at the man by the bed from the corner of her eye and frowned, refusing to look at him squarely.

Noticing the woman's eyes, August took a deep breath, got a little water with the small spoon, and brought it to her lips.
