Chapter 109
However, Lucy grabbed the purse before him, closed it, and handed it to him. "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Call me if you need anything."
He blocked it.
He felt like he was going to die.
Although it was just a glance, she still saw a photo in her purse. The woman in the photo looked exactly the same as her, but her temperament was gentle and her smile was shy. It was definitely not her!
Arthur answered and put his wallet on the inside side of the hospital bed with a poker face, but his fingers, which were holding the wallet, still revealed his nervousness.
He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable panic. Did she see it just now?
"The chairman asked you to temporarily transfer all the power of the group to her. If you haven't divorced the president's wife a week later, you will never be the president of the Johnson family," the Max said carefully.
Lucy only knew that the Max was speaking, but she didn't hear what he said at all.
Ever since she decided to be with Arthur again, she had thought countless times about how he loved her and how he was still reminiscing about Elyse through her.
And what she saw today made her believe that he hadn't let go of Elyse yet!
"Bring it over." Arthur took the document and signed it without hesitation. "You can go now!"
The assistant held a pile of documents, hesitated for a moment, and could not help asking, "President, are you really going to leave the Johnson family?"
He had been with the president for so many years, so he knew very well how capable the president was!
He was very clear about the president's ability, so he didn't want the president to leave!
Arthur looked at him coldly and did not say anything.
"... Then I'm leaving, President." The assistant's scalp went numb under his light gaze. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and carried the document out of the ward.
Arthur looked at the absent-minded Lucy, frowned, and then coughed twice on purpose.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lucy snapped out of his daze and asked.
Her mind was in a mess. When she looked at him, her heart became even more chaotic!
Just like what Chad had said, Elyse was already dead. She shouldn't have bothered with a dead man, but... she still couldn't accept that he had treated her as a substitute!
Arthur wanted to get out of bed, but Lucy stepped forward and stopped him. "Your legs haven't fully
recovered yet. It's not suitable for you to get out of bed and walk now." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
"As for the purse photo, I can explain it." Arthur grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. There was a hint of restrained fear in his eyes... He was afraid that she would run away without listening to his explanation!
Lucy avoided his deep gaze and forced out a smile. "You don't have to explain."
He had done so much for her. Even if he still had Elyse in his heart, she still couldn't let him go!
"I saw her photo just now. I just wanted to replace her photo with yours. You don't have to think about it!" Arthur looked at her with a straight face and forced her to look at him.
Lucy lowered her eyes, pushed her hand away, and pretended to be natural as she said, "I understand."
But in his heart, he still regarded his words as an excuse.
After all, she knew very well how much he loved Elyse!
Looking at the bitterness on her face, Arthur knew that she didn't believe him, but he couldn't explain it all the time. The more he explained, the more it seemed that he had a ghost in his heart.
"Take out her photo." Arthur stuffed the wallet into her hand.
Lucy felt like she was drowning. Her breathing became more and more difficult. She didn't want to look at Elyse at all. She didn't want to look at that face that was exactly the same as hers!
"Arthur, let go of me first. I'll go to the toilet." If she stayed here any longer, she would suffocate!
Not only did he not let go of her, he hugged her even tighter. He hugged her with one hand and took out a photo of Elyse with the other. In front of her, he threw the photo of Sheng Wan into the trash can!
Su, who was struggling, was stunned. He looked at him in shock. "You..."
She had only touched Elyse's photo once and he flew into a rage. He hadn't seen her for two months in a row!
"Don't be jealous all day. Just say it!" Arthur held her face and took a deep bite on her lips. It wasn't until he bit the corner of her mouth and tasted the smell of blood that he let go.
Lucy's lips hurt badly, but her heart was soft. She looked at his handsome face and took the initiative to kiss him.
If love required 100 points of courage, as long as he gave her one point, she could get the rest of the 99 points herself!
...
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was late autumn.
Today, Arthur was discharged from the hospital. Lucy specially took the little fellow to the hospital. After completing the discharge formalities, the three of them went to a famous western restaurant for dinner.
In front of the dining table, Lucy and Arthur were sitting opposite each other and ordering dishes. Their way of getting along was no different from before, but it was a bit more sweet.
Caden was sitting next to Lucy and playing with the Magic Cube. He was in a bad mood, so he turned the Magic Cube much faster than usual.
Recently, his mommy only accompanied the scum's daddy and rarely went out with him! Moreover, he wanted to eat crayfish, but as soon as the scum's daddy was discharged from the hospital, his mommy took him directly to the western restaurant... The scum's daddy's status was much higher than his!
"Caden, are you eating steak?" Lucy turned around and asked.
Caden didn't even raise her head. She said in a childish voice, "I'll eat whatever Mommy eats."
Anyway, he didn't like Western food. It didn't matter what he ate!
"Okay." Lucy raised his head and said to the waiter, "I want another one that is seventy percent cooked..."
"I want ninety percent of cooked steak, and another glass of freshly squeezed orange juice." Arthur explained to Lucy after he finished speaking. "He's still young. It's better to eat ninety percent."
As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
He just picked it up, looked at it coldly, and hung up the phone.
"I want to eat exactly the same as Mommy!" Caden threw the Magic Cube on the table and solemnly emphasized her choice.
It didn't matter whether he was familiar with it or not. He couldn't let the scum make a decision!
The waiter took the menu and didn't know who to listen to.
Lucy looked at the older one, and then looked at the younger one, who was as embarrassed as the waiter.
"I'll change it to seventy percent." Arthur's so-called persistence was vulnerable in front of the mother and son.
Lucy's tensed nerves relaxed and he gave him a friendly smile. If the father and son had to go against each other, she really didn't know who she should listen to!
Caden looked up and saw her smiling at the scum. He pursed his lips and felt more and more wronged.
"Okay, please wait for a moment." The waiter took the menu and left.
It didn't take long for the three of them to order.
Arthur cut the steak neatly and put it in front of the little fellow, in case it was inconvenient for him to use a knife or fork because he was young.
"Caden, is your father good to you?" Since he decided to be with Arthur again, Lucy hoped that the relationship between the father and son could be broken.
Caden frowned and answered with dissatisfaction. Then she changed the cut-up steak with her complete steak and ate the steak elegantly with a knife and fork.
—He was completely provoking Arthur!
Lucy was a bit embarrassed. He was worried that Arthur's bad temper would anger him because of this.
