Spencer’s men knew he was on a rampage. They all hung their heads. Even Dan didn’t dare say a word. They all tolerated his temper.
Spencer saw that his men were silent. He glared at them for a few moments before realizing that it was useless to vent his anger at them. He simply walked towards the elevator. The others could only help Dan to follow behind.
When he arrived at the floor where his ward was located, Spencer’s first task was to find out which room Lucia was staying in, but he really didn’t have to bother to find it, as only Lucia’s ward was guarded by bodyguards. Fortunately, it was already close to midnight. Otherwise, they didn’t know what kind of sensation it will cause.
Spencer and the others had just appeared in the hallway, and the bodyguards outside Lucia’s room were immediately on alert, turning around to stare at them.
Spencer raised an eyebrow and asked two of his men to help Dan into the room while he led the others to Lucia’s.
He was just upset that he was her fiance, but why should she shut him out?
Just when Spencer was about to pick a fight, Arthur walked out of the ward. Their gazes collided instantly. Arthur’s eyes darkened as he stared coldly at Spencer.
For a long time, Arthur didn’t bother to get serious with Spencer, so there was hardly anything that could be called a conversation, but this time it was different.
Standing in front of the ward, Arthur was like a king who could defeat all enemies. Spencer didn’t dare to cross the line again, but he wasn’t willing to give in just like that.
“Arthur, what are you doing now? Even if you love Lucia, she’s still my woman. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”
Arthur’s thin, sexy lips curl up slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
“What are you laughing at?!” Spencer caught the change in Arthur’s expression. He felt ridiculed by him!
Arthur waved his hand to Spencer’s bodyguard, who was taking a step forward as he spoke, and smiled,
“Spencer, I used to think of you as my cousin. Even though I know that you’re not a nice person, I’m still willing to talk some sense into you. But now, I really don’t want to argue with you. I know what you’ve done. If I don’t make a way, there’s a reason. So what if she’s your fiancee? The name is what Ms. Wilson gave you. She can give it and she can take it back.”
As Spencer heard the words, he was frowning. What Arthur said poked his sore spot.
“I know you won’t give up the benefits of being with Lucia, so you can insist on your own stupidity and greed, but it’s impossible for me to disappear from Lucia’s life. Besides, it’s not clear who will win or lose in the end.”
There was not a hint of threat in Arthur’s words, because unnecessarily, what he said come from his confidence.
“But isn’t Ms. Wilson the only person you’re worried about?” Spencer was upset, but he didn’t want to lose. He shot back coldly,
“Unfortunately, Ms. Wilson is supporting me.”
“Congratulations,” Arthur replied lazily, unswayed by Spencer’s words.
“Be thankful for that, because you never know when you’re going to lose that favor.”
Arthur’s tone couldn’t have been more placid, but the pressure was so real that Spencer couldn’t find the words to refute him.
Seeing that Spencer’s face was turning red at a rate that was visible to the naked eye, Arthur curled his lips in boredom and turned around to return to the ward. However, Spencer clearly had no intention of conceding defeat just like that.
“Arthur, it’s no use if you keep a guard here. When she gets out of the hospital, she’ll come back to my place!”
Arthur paused. Just when Spencer thought he was about to turn around, Arthur turned his head slightly and walked straight into the ward. Spencer frowned and wanted to move forward, but he was quickly blocked by the bodyguards outside the door.
Spencer’s men also surrounded them. The two sides were facing each other at the door of the ward. The people in front were already pushing each other, but they were only slightly fighting because Lucia’s cold voice came from the ward.
“Spencer, if you want the press to hear about what happened today, keep it up!”
On hearing this, Spencer immediately stopped his men from doing anything, and Lucia did catch him in the act. What would the press say if they knew about this? He let his men hurt her? Absolutely not!
“He’s gone?” Lucia asked Arthur who was leaning against the door, after hearing no movement outside the door for a while.
“Well, he’s gone. He’s not taking any chances.” Arthur was sure that Spencer had taken his men, so he went back to Lucia’s bed and said to Jack and the others,
“Bring your bodyguards and stay in a nearby hotel. Leave two people on duty at a time. Otherwise, it will be a bad influence for the other patients to see so many people here tomorrow.”
“Got it.” With Arthur around, Jack and the others were not afraid that Spencer would dare to do anything, so they did what he told them to do. Soon, the room returned to its usual tranquility, and the baby was sleeping soundly on the small cradle beside the bed.
“Is the baby all right?” Although Lucia would like to see the baby, Arthur insisted that she stay in bed.
“Yes, the fever has completely subsided.” Arthur used his thumb to gently slide over the baby’s delicate little face. His eyes were full of tenderness. “I was scared when I heard the news just now.”
Lucia was amused, indeed, by the fact that the two of them had been texting before the baby’s fever was detected.
For some reason, she recalled that the two of them were still far apart earlier, but he had rushed to the hospital for the sake of the child. Now, he was accompanying her and the child. Lucia felt a strange feeling in her heart. It was bitter and sour…
She loved him so much, and he loved her so much too…
Sometimes, Lucia hated herself for having so many scruples, and how much these scruples hurt Arthur.
If his family were to object now, and he had to respect their opinion, he would have to separate from her. Lucia knew very well that with her personality, she would feel resentful and that he was being unfair to her.
Before she knew it, a wry smile appeared on Lucia’s lips as she unconsciously murmured the guilt in her heart,
“Arthur… I’m sorry…”
Arthur was swaddling his daughter when he heard Lucia’s unprovoked apology and turned his head. His heart ached.
Lucia must have no idea how confused and sad she looked.
