Chapter 66

After twenty minutes in the car, Lucia checked the time and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar road.She couldn't help but ask, "When will we get there, Sir?"

They would have arrived at the Central Hospital by now if she had chosen to go there, but now they were getting farther and farther away from the city proper.

The driver smiled at her.

"We'll be there soon."

Lucia clenched her fists uneasily, thinking that she had met a driver who deliberately detoured her.

Just as she wondered if she should get out of the car now, she saw a hospital-like building.

When the car went closer, Lucia saw that it was really a hospital, the Essence Hospital.

The white and warm yellow building was simple and distinct.

Lucia paid the fare and immediately understood when she noticed that the cars outside the hospital were all expensive ones.

It turned out that this was a private hospital.

It was a nice place with high-end equipment, so the fees here might be high.

Lucia didn't think much about it.

She stepped into the hospital, registered, and had the examination.

The results came in less than half an hour after blood sampling was done.

Lucia went into the consulting room and sat down in front of a friendly-looking female doctor.

The female doctor pushed the report to her.

"You're pregnant."

"What?" Lucia froze.

All the unease and speculation she had turned into shock.

When she came here, she had got that the odds were slim, but to her surprise, she was really pregnant! Biting her lip, she looked at the report in front of her, not knowing what to do at the moment.

Seeing what Lucia was like, the female doctor across the desk said in a softer voice, "It's not long, just over a month, so it's the right time for surgery."

Lucia knew what the doctor meant by surgery.

She was stunned and then said feebly,"I'll think about it."

After all, it wasn't just her baby.

Her life with August was already a mess and it so happened that the baby was coming at this point.She was really caught off guard.

With the report in her hand, Lucia walked out of the consulting room.

She felt it was weighing on her so much that she couldn't breathe.

If August knew she was pregnant, would he have a better life with her? Lucia was lost in thought as she walked forward.She didn't even notice that a medical trolley was coming at her.

It was so fast that when she reacted, it had already hit her.

Lucia's arm hurt from the impact.

When she came back to her senses, she saw a nurse in a pink uniform holding the trolley steady.

The nurse smiled at her and quickly apologized.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Lucia waved her hand.

"It's okay."

After that, she was about to walk away when the nurse suddenly stopped her.

"Wait a minute, Madam."

"What?"

"Just now the trolley hit you and there is some used medical waste on it, which is not very clean.I'll find a place and disinfect it for you.Do you think that's okay?"

Lucia glanced at the used gauze in the blue plastic bag on the trolley and nodded hesitantly.

"Yes."

Now that she was pregnant, she had to be more careful even for the sake of the baby.

The nurse put the trolley in the adjacent space in the corridor and showed her the way instead.

"Come with me, please."

All Lucia was thinking about was the fact that she was pregnant.

The next thing she knew, she had taken the elevator to the eighth floor with the nurse.

It was obviously different from the floor she had been on just now.

From the quiet environment and the neat wards here, she could easily tell that it was a VIP floor.

They walked into a small consulting room between the wards.

The nurse pointed to a chair in the room and said in a gentle voice, "I'm a nurse on this floor.Please sit and wait for a minute.I'll fetch some liquid and come back soon."

Lucia nodded and sat down in the chair to wait.

After the nurse left, she was the only one left in the consulting room.

Lucia gasped, took out her phone, and found August's name in her contacts.

Looking at his number, she hesitated, not knowing if she should give him a call.He hadn't come home for several days in a row.

She didn't think he would come back if she didn't call him.

But she had to tell him about her pregnancy.

Biting her lip, Lucia encouraged herself quietly, only to find that she didn't have the courage to make the call.

After a few seconds, she put away her phone.

Well, she decided to wait until she got home.

Lucia waited alone in the consulting room for quite a while without seeing the nurse come back, so she stood up) walked to the door, and pulled it open.

She poked her head out to take a look.

When she heard some small sounds nearby, she turned around and saw a familiar figure walking towards the elevator.

Wasn't that Burton? What was he doing here? Lucia narrowed her eyes and took a closer look.

It was really him.

Lucia was confused.

Before she could walk out, the door of a ward not far away was pushed open and a white-coated blond doctor came out, followed by a tall, imposing man.

The moment she saw the man's face from the side, Lucia stiffened.

What was August doing here? Was he sick? Before she could think carefully, the man turned his head as if to look over here.

Lucia hurriedly took a step back and retreated into the consulting room.

With her heart pounding, Lucia hid behind the door, feeling inexplicably nervous.

She felt like a thief.

At that moment, the man's cold and unique voice came.

"Is she ready for the surgery, Peter?"

Hearing that, Lucia unconsciously held her breath and pricked up her ears.

Who was going to have the surgery? The foreign doctor answered in fluent Chinese, "Miss Kelly's physical condition is okay now, but her emotions are not so stable, which is the most worrying thing for our team at the moment.In the long run, it's not good for her to do the surgery like this."

August's voice came again.

Lucia could even tell that he was a bit worried from his tone.

"So do you have a good solution now?"

"Now, it's best for her to have the surgery as soon as possible.I've read the information you sent me about the kidney donor last time.I can arrange the surgery as soon as possible if it's okay with the donor."

August paused for a few seconds before speaking, "I see.I'll make it as soon as possible.Thank you." Peter said gently.

"You're welcome.Lucia stood at the door in the consulting room.Behind the door that was left ajar, she took in the conversation between the two men not far away.

After that, she was still a little confused.

Their conversation carried too much information and she was not interested in it.

Suddenly, a name that the doctor had just said flashed through her mind. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Miss Kelly? Was it Jeanne? Lucia had relaxed both physically and mentally, but now she stiffened instantly again because of this name.

She stood there with her mind in turmoil.

Suddenly, another voice came from outside the door.

"Mr.Adams, it's all set."

It was Burton.

"Hmm,"

August replied in a cold voice.

After a short pause, he seemed to think of something.

Is all the paperwork for organ donation ready?"

Burton answered seriously.

"Yes.We just need Mrs.Adams' signature now."

The moment she heard these words, Lucia suddenly felt like she had been struck by lightning.

She blacked out for a moment, feeling dizzy.

Had she heard it right? She was an organ donor? How could that be? The next moment, what the man said made it all clear.

"Well, prepare another copy of Lucia's physical examination report and give it to Peter for preoperative reference."

"Yes."

Lucia shivered as a chill extended to her limbs with the man's voice.

Lucia was the kidney donor while Jeanne needed the surgery, but she knew nothing about it and foolishly married August, trying to have a good life with him.

How ridiculous it was!
